Stupid Firefox problem.
A blinking cursor appears when I click on a page. It's as if I'm using MS Word (where my cursor lands wherever I click) instead of a browser. This makes it a pain to scroll because hitting End (to get to the bottom of the page) does nothing, and even Page Down doesn't always register. It happens on every website. What's the deal? I tried un/reinstalling.

Click "More". You should see your other applications. Click "Hidden". Photos should be there, I'm not sure why Messages is hidden for you because you can't hide it.

Yeah I did that before, but photos isn't in the hidden part. And actually Messages came back last night on its own.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
I just won a Harman Kardon AV 130 in an estate sale auction for $175.00. I feel like I got a good deal but what about you audiophile's do you think I got a good deal?
I already have some 5.1 speakers, they are not super high quality and came from a JVC HTIB system. I plan on upgrading the speakers little by little as I find deals on some.
My problem is I've never hooked up this type of higher end receiver before. I am only hooking up my TV, PS3 and Direct TV box to the receiver. The problem is according to the setup sheet I linked above there is not any HDMI ports on the receiver. Would I just hook the receiver up to my TV? By hooking it up to the TV (if possible) will both my PS3 and Direct TV work just by turning them on?
I'm sorry I know these sound like really stupid questions but please help me out. I'll be picking up the receiver today.

You'll want to hook up the PS3 and Direct TV to the receiver via optical. If you hook them up to the TV, the TV won't be able to pass more than 2 channels. Alternatively, if you ever use OTA, hook the DirectTV up to the TV and then the TV up to the receiver.
Do the video for both directly into the TV or else you'll introduce lag.

Cool, thanks for the advice. I'll have to go pick up some optical cables today.
I found out the JVC subwoofer I have is broken and I need to replace it. Any good suggestions on a cheap subwoofer to get me by until I can save up the money for this Harmon Kardon speaker set?

I am doing a March Madness Bracket Box game in which you receive two numbers. I had never heard of it before but the way it works is say you get 8 and 5. That means the team 1's score must end with an 8 and team 2's score must end with a 5. You can win at half time and at the final score. You have two winner's per game. Well I got the numbers 0 and 0. I got an argument with a friend because I said they don't have the same odds because a game cannot end tied. So a game can end 40 to 30 or 40 to 50. So we can never have a game end within 10 points because it cannot end at 40 to 40 and would go into overtime. Someone who has say 6 and 8 could have 66 to 68, 66 to 78 and 66 to 58. I know there are more options but this is just to show what I am thinking. It's his organization so I said it should be the 2nd periods score and not overtime. That way my numbers have equal odds.
Am I completely wrong in thinking the odds are different?

I'm pretty sure it's busted, but if you guys have any ideas, I'll love you forever.
Basically, I have a 120GB Classic iPod, but it's dead. When I turn it on (Or from sleep) it'll stay on the Apple logo for about 15 minutes and then tell me to connect to iTunes to restore it.
That's all fine and dandy but when I connect it to my Laptop, it doesn't recognize it's connected and iTunes won't realize it's there. If I play about, I can get the Windows to recognize it as an iPod but it'll tell me "You must format this drive before it can be used" and it'll fail if I ever try and do that.
Any ideas?

There is a separate program/tool that will reset your iPod to factory defaults and returns your firmware to certain version but I can't find it from Apples site. Worked for me when an iPod Nano would be recognized in my Linux PC or a Mac computer... Windows recognized it as a USB stick and the program returned it to a perfect state.BackwardsSuggestions said:

I need some advice from medical gaf.
I's now 9:30pm on a thursday night earliest i'll get a drs appointment is mon/tuesday so please no "See a doctor". Hopefully will someone will have an idea whats going on.
About 4 days ago, my right gland in my neck was swollen. I've had swollen glands before but never just one gland. A quick google search brought back "viral infection". I continue about my business. Since yesterday morning, my gum is now swollen at the back right. I can barely open my mouth wide enough to put food in, its getting incredibly sore. The gland is still swollen. I googled both symptoms, and got back viral infection again but i'm not sure that is a viral infection and if it is how the fuck do i get rid of it.
I have a nice steak dinner in front of me "havent told anyone i have this thing in my mouth" and i'm eating it so far at a rate of 1 carrot/hour. Not touched the potatoes or steak yet.

Probably just a throat infection. I had something similar twice. Nothing to do about it, really. But, when you can, see a doctor just to be safe.

I'm not sure where you are, but they don't have things like after-hour walk-in clinics? While this may not be serious, you should have a plan for times when there is something going on and it can't wait for your doctor's regular visiting hours.
(ER isn't always the answer either)

Maybe take some ibuprofen and/or paracetemol? Not much you can do for viral infections, except taking something for the pain and waiting for it to go away. If it's not better after maybe a week or so go to your doctor.

I called the fire department because my neighbor's apartment smells. They broke down the door and no one was home. They started coughing and gaging and came back with masks. I just saw someone go in with a gas mask. I'm watching them from my porch. It's pretty disgusting smelling. I thought she died in there or something. I tried telling the guy in the main office, but he was "off the clock", so he wouldn't help. He asked me what I would do if he left already, I said "call the police I guess" and he said "so call the police" and I did.
I guess my question is this, can they refuse to renew my lease in a couple months because I caused so much trouble even though it wasn't my fault? I'm pretty nervous now because they sent 2 police cars, a fire truck and the "fire suv" and I don't want the people who own the complex to be mad at me.

I need to find a ClosetMaid 3 shelf vertical organizer (space creations)
model #: MVW-7 10183
UPC: 89066101838
Dimensions:
23.25"h x 12.125"w x 11.625"d
or
59cm x 31cm x 29.5 cm
product website:
http://216.105.104.228/Look/Product_Catalog/product.cfm?product_id=615
I fear it doesn't exist anymore. All i can find is the 31-inch high variation. I am limited to my height and need to find either this shelf or one that is similar in height to this one. I tried online but can't find anything similar.

Is there a site like "FactCheck.org" except it deals with something OTHER than Politics? Like general misconceptions and such?

When you wash your towel in the washing machine, you use too much detergent. At least, that's the explanation I've heard. To correct the problem, run the towel through a quick cycle on the washing machine without any detergent. If there are suds, that means there is still too much soap in the towel and you will have to run it through the machine again until there are no suds. Some towels are "beyond repair" and you will have to start fresh with a new towel.mac said:

I didn't know whether to start a new thread for this...I was just eating a carrot and felt an almighty crunch, then spat out a small shard of glass! I was thinking of phoning the supermarket to complain but it sounds pretty unbelievable, how is this possible? I swear I nearly smashed my tooth, hurt like hell.
Maybe the glass was stuck in the surface of the carrot or something? Do you think I should phone the supermarket?

We need to take a poll and see how common that is. Interesting.
Medi-GAF: So something happened to my left foot last night. I was playing soccer and sometime in the 2nd half it started to hurt. I shrugged it off and played through the pain. This morning, the top of it is very swollen and I can barely walk on it. Hurt like a mother putting the shoe on and getting into the car. Im limping everywhere. Right now it hurts just sitting down putting no pressure on it. I hope its not broken but I doubt Ill go to the doctor. I googled foot bones and it feels like my navicular bone.

Here's a stupid question that doesn't deserve its own thread:
LCD Soundsystem, a band that achieved far more than some of its hipster brethren, has decided to hang up the reins after a few final NYC shows. It's surprising because (and this is always a matter of taste), the band just kept getting better with each successive album. In fact, it's one of those few bands nowadays that actually released entire listenable albums. So they're exiting the scene in their prime. Admirable enough, I guess. Though sad.
Meanwhile, Pearl Jam and the like believe that they're still relevant, and refuse to burn out, but rather fade away at a snail's pace even as less and less people recognize the name or care about what cause-du-jour Eddie Vedder has adopted, or have any sort of interest in the music output.
What's the difference between James Murphy and Eddie Vedder?

If you didn't do soft tissue damage, then you may have broken it. Are you sure you don't want to visit the doctor? If it is broken/damaged, some sort of treatment might help you immensely, if not in the short term, then in the long-term-I-want-to-keep-playing-soccer-until-I'm-50 sense.Clydefrog said:

Check your local comic book store to see if they have any info on comic shows/baseball card shows. There are always dealers that have booths set up with that kind if stuff.Linkhero1 said:
Also check local flea markets. If you're not familiar with that term its basically a giant yard sale with sometimes hundreds of tables of various things.
