How come all of a sudden when I click somewhere in firefox there's a blinking cursor (a vertical line)? It fucks up when I'm trying to read the forums using page up/page down and just the arrow keys. I know there's a simple fix for this.

I was joking around with him - I was with a group of 5 people at 2AM on a Saturday and he was kind of joking with us the whole time. When I asked him his name he said it while sort of grinning and kept repeating it/laughing when I said it out loud, so I assumed something was up. Pretty sure he just wanted me to keep saying some word that I didn't know I was saying.

Are 3D printers supposed to be able to print metal objects one day? I mean little bits that you would normally have to buy online or haul rear end to Home Depot to get. I've hypothesized (to myself) that that market of goods is going to be gone one day unless you need parts in huge bulk. Like I've been thinking that 3D printers are going to be a huge boon for DIY-type people and arts and crafts people.

It could probably be done easily for small bits that don't need to be especially strong; you could use metals with much lower melting points.

I want to start a wiki at a wiki host, and I need to have both page views, and page editing restricted. Most wiki hosts seem to be able to restrict editing, but leave the page viewing public. Is there a way to have both pages views and page editing restricted, preferably to different levels? (Meaning a large but restricted class could view it, and a subset of that class could edit it. Both requiring logins.)

FCKGW posted:You are referring to hand brakes (usually caliper brakes) and what's called coaster brakes. I use to think your explanation was true until I lived in Japan, where they have no coaster brakes even on kids bikes, and even bike shop people were pretty interested in seeing my coaster brake bike since they had never seen one before. (I shipped it over with me.) They have hub brakes though, so they work much better than rim brakes.

I still live in Japan and have never seen hub brakes on kids' bikes. Every bike I've owned here and all of the bikes at school are always rim brakes. My current bike, a relatively expensive Bridgestone that's designed to meet school specifications for safety, has rim brakes.

For example, I've been using Mozy for a couple years now, and the initial backup of just documents/music/etc. took probably a week.

If so, get another drive, back up to that, and stick it in a safe, relatively climate-controlled place. A bank box works. If not, back up your essential stuff on a USB key and put it in a safe, relatively climate-controlled place. A bank box works.

It's my birthday in a month or so. I work too hard and save too much money for a youngster so I'm finally going to treat myself and buy a video game console! I know it's a bit  but I just need general opinion on the PS3 vs Xbox360. I've played both and I prefer the PS3 for comfort, but the Xbox360 is much cheaper here than then PS3. Pros and cons? I don't mind the price, just want to consider value for money.

I know it's a bit Look at the exclusives each console has, ask yourself which ones you want more. There really isn't enough difference anymore to make one a must have over the other. If the PS3 exclusives aren't enough to make you spend the extra money, go for a 360.

Also, be aware that the PS3 is a great Blu-Ray player, and it's really easy to update its firmware (in fact, it often makes you). I found out how nice that was when I had to update my parents' player to watch Inception. It took about an hour, all-told.

One more point to consider: with the 360, you have to pay for the Gold subscription to be able to play multi-player games online.

Another point pro-360 for online play: Everyone has a headset. Also against the 360 for online play: Everyone has a headset.

I don't know if this qualifies as its own question, but I lost my wedding band over the weekend. I have a 20k ring that my uncle had made for me when I was born, but it's really not my style and it's been sitting around ever since. Is it worth getting that ring melted down and having it remade into the old ring I did have? I can still get to the original jewelers who made it and they're in the Diamond District, there are smelters/assayers galore.

Is there anything I can do to stop myself bruising so easily? I don't mean like taking arnica to make bruises go away once they've formed, but something preventative to stop it happening in the first place. I inherited my mum's peach skin and after training look like I've been grabbed all over by a poltergeist. The bruises aren't particularly painful, they're just super unsightly and gross.

I just realized my lease ran out like a month or two ago. I've kept making payments at the same rate, and my landlord hasn't mentioned anything, but should I? All things considered, I like the location, the landlord's a pretty good guy, and I don't want to be troubled to move, but I'm somewhat concerned that rent'll go up if I bring up a new lease. Washington state, if it makes a difference.

All things considered, I like the location, the landlord's a pretty good guy, and I don't want to be troubled to move, but I'm somewhat concerned that rent'll go up if I bring up a new lease. He maybe considering raising the rent, but isn't sure yet or how much exactly, so he's letting you ride month-to-month til he figures it out. If you force a new lease he might raise the rent right away when you could have gotten a bit longer at your current rate if you kept quiet. He also maybe considering selling the place or thinks he may have to kick you out to make room for his retarded nephew or something, and if you ask for a new lease he might go ahead and go along with it, giving you more time before you have to move (or resulting in his nephew finding another place because he can't wait.) There are probably a million possibilities. Most likely, he just forgot it ran out and doesn't care as long as he's getting his rent. He might want to increase rent if you remind him; he might not. He might never remember and you can go monthly for as long as you want. One other thing to consider is your specific lease (read it.) Leases tend to protect tenants and landlords, but mostly landlords (it's a financial commitment from the tenant.) And in some states some clauses in a lease continue even after it "expires" as long as you live there and pay the same rent.

I'm pretty sure leases default to month-to-month in Washington unless there's language in the lease specifying something else.

I need to know the best way to clean literal poo poo off things. I don't want to talk about what caused all this poo poo to be all over everything, although it might be a subject for an E/N thread later on. Maybe. It's on carpet, books, DVDs, wood tables/shelves, cardboard boxes, the fuzzy sides of a guitar amp, and an LCD TV. I want to get all traces of the poo poo off all these things and remove the smell. The carpet's hosed anyway so I don't really care if it stains, I just want the poo poo and the smell of poo poo to be gone. I'm assuming the books and maybe the DVDs are a total loss and I'm quite prepared to throw them away. I'm in Australia, so if you're recommending cleaning products, locally available ones would be a help. I can't realistically use anything that will be toxic to a small dog, although the dog can (sort of) be kept out of the room for a few days if necessary. I've removed all the clumps and some of the more obvious smears. Everything else is kind of dry smears or wiped onto things. The whole room stinks a LOT less than I was expecting, but I'll need something to get the smell out anyway. I will be cleaning the poo poo tomorrow unless it's 100% vital that it be removed ASAP (it's been there 2-3 days already). (Ideally I would gut the room, rip the carpet up, and spray everything with disinfectant. There's so many books and other unwashable things in there that that would be really impractical, and nobody can afford new carpet or anything anyway.)

You cant expect to post this without sharing the story. But seriously, what kind of poop is it (human, dog, cow?) and how did it end up there (flood, backed up toilet, pet minature pig with the runs, angry girlfriend hurling it around?) If it is wet poop, like a flooded sewer, I would burn everything. mostly solid poop, like a turd flung by a video game character from a long overdue franchise is probably going to come off with a wet wipe and some bleach.
