Got a stupid question: I sold a phone on eBay and I'm using a small flat rate box to ship it, I have all the labels printed and payed for and it's shipping within the U.S. Do I need to take it to the post office or can i take it to the end of my driveway and put it in the mailbox?
 
For some reason, Firefox keeps freezing on me. I think it might be a memory problem, because I've noticed in the Task Manager that it'll shoot up near 20k at times. The only thing that I could think of that would be causing this is having too many tabs open, but even then it happens when I have one tab. Is there any way to solve this?

I'm running in Safe Mode right now, and so far I've had no issues. I really don't want to have to remove and reinstall my extensions, but it looks like I've got no other choice.
 
Is there an America's Got Talent thread? I've searched around and couldnt find it. I don't get why there is a Jersey Shore one and not an AGT one! It's summer dammit
 
ok so I checked through the Gaf FAQ and still couldn't find this. how many posts do you need / how long is junior membership required before becoming a full member?

I know I found it awhile ago I just can't seem to now
 
Didn't get a response in the IronGaf thread so maybe someone here could help ....

I guess this question is more for the European/UK IronGafers .. but I've been reading Game of Thrones and they talk about a pease pie which sounds like a pie filled with peas and bacon. Is there a real life recipe for this? Kind of sounds like shepherds pie but without mashed potatoes maybe?

So, my fingernail is black. I think I bent it back last night. All I remember doing was pushing it hard (not on purpose) against a seat in my Brothers car. Anyways, I was wondering what should I do? Do you put ice on it? Should I put a band aid on it?

I know this probably was already answerd, but thread is huge.

Anyone know why everytime I try to click reply in a thread and I'm not logged in, I try to log in and get stuck into a weird loop, that never logs me in, and don't allow me to return to the thread.

I since thought it was a problems with cookies, since I don't allow the with Firefox, but since I've tried different browsers, hell, even in my android the same problem happens.

So, is there a way to fix this?
 
I am 25 and my skin is just as bad as it was when I was a teenager. I mean it's not really bad but I do get spots regularly, even though I'm definitely looking after it better (taking off my make up before I go to bed, using an moisturiser with SPF in it etc) than when I was younger - what the hell?

Also, how often you guys change your sheets?

They're not as good. I mean they're still a good read, but the Endymion novels don't hold up to the Hyperion ones. That's just my humble opinion of course.

If you're looking for more quality sci-fi, I'd recommend Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space series.

Every other week.
 
Sorry for two questions in one day but doesn't anyone have a suggestion for an add on for using Twitter with Firefox? I used to use Echofon but they fucked it up. So I got Yoono and I don't like that its a sidebar on the left side of the screen.

Cool. As luck would have it I have this on my Kindle already. Just have to get to it.

End I change my sheets once a week. Also, I try to not to use one side of my pillow more than twice.
 
I don't know if this counts as a stupid question but I might as well give it a try:Is it possible to pay for an american service through a cheque (CCbill) if I have a canadian checking account?
 
i keep the office camera in my desk, i came into the office today and it was gone. I know it was no one i work (15 people all have better cameras, it's kind of just there for a emergency) I don't work in a office were people are coming and going so it was prob one of the cleaning staff. So is it my responsibility to pay to replace the camera?
 
Whats the word for when there is like an impossible situation? Like, the riddle what will happen if pinnochio says his nose will now grow? There is a specific word that describes it and i cant for the life of me remember it. I keep thinking like conundrum or something but thats not it.

How do I delete all of the usernames Chrome has remembered? I accidentally put a password next to a username, and now it appears every time I enter my username. No one else is going to see it, but it really bothers me.

Options -> Under the Hood -> Clear Browsing Data
 
Nope. :(

In fact, the website that I put the mistake in... I've specifically told Chrome not to remember the password for it. It's an autocomplete, but only for the username field.
 
FlightOfHeaven said:
Still there :(
Click to expand...
You selected 'from the beginning of time' and checked 'clear saved passwords' and 'clear Autofill form data'? If you did, then it might not be Chrome. There are programs, like Norton, that also remember Autofill data.
 
Ah I see what FlightofHeaven is talking about now. Try highlighting the suggestion you don't like and press the "Delete" key.
 
I have lost my original Windows Vista discs, and only own an "Upgrade" version of Windows 7. If I want to install Win 7 on a new computer (and gut the old one [i'm building a new computer]) how do I accomplish this? Is there a trial version of Vista or XP that I could use to install first in order to then run the upgrade? Could I borrow someone else's XP or Vista discs? I wouldn't want to take their activation code or anything.

Could I download a copy of XP or Vista, then Use my Win7 codes to upgrade? Is that legal?

What are those soft discolored icky bits you sometimes find on bananas? Is there any way to prevent them?
Click to expand...
It's just the banana ripening, it happens naturally as the banana ages. Eat it sooner if you want to avoid them but if the banana isn't ripe enough it'll be green and not be as soft or sweet.

It's definitely not legal to just download a copy of Windows, but you'd get varying replies on whether it's ethical.

There are some tricks to get a clean install of 7 with just an upgrade disc. They were talked about when the OS just came out though, so they might have been plugged by now. Just do some searches on Google.
 
What's the evolutionary purpose of the 'roman' (or all hooked versions) nose?

I think I read something about it being able to store more heat in cold weather, but I was just wondering about that this morning.
 
Question for med-gaf: I think I passed out because I just woke up around some overturned furniture and it's an hour later than I remember it being. Also I scraped my head and that's bleeding. I'm also very dizzy when I move and get bad tunnel vision, so I have to sort of crawl longer distances. I just feel...wrong, physically I can't even think of an adjective to describe it. I feel like I'm in the wrong body. Like, I'm not sure I even exist right now. Like I'm a consciousness that's only imagined itself.

Anyways, is this something serious I should call a doctor about, or just sleep it off?

It's important to keep in mind that not all traits have an evolutionary purpose. I'd wager that minor differences such as having free or attached earlobes are of no importance at all for our species's adaptability.

Please go to the doctor, also did you consumed any legal or illegal drugs?

Nope, no drugs of any kind. Mmk, I should probably call someone to drive me I guess? (as apposed to driving myself)

No harm intended but passing out its not something you take lightly, something made your body shut down. I hope you feel better.
