    Aaaaaggghhh! Need to recover closed Firefox Window

    Gah- I was afraid of something like this. Thanks for the reply anyway. I'll just have to create a list of my currently open tabs, then go through my history line by line and open up all the URLs not on the list to see if I want to keep them. :(

    Aaaaaggghhh! Need to recover closed Firefox Window

    Is there any way to recover a closed window if you have closed and relaunched FF? I was trying to sort things so that all the wikipedia and other sites/subjects were grouped together so I clicked 'group tabs' in the drop-down list of open tabs. FF basically went into cardiac arrhythmia because...

    firefox 10.0.2 released

    I never upgraded from 3.6.x because every release from 4.etc on seems to have generated massive shitstorms from the faithful. What is the current opinion on 10?

    Blip TV

    I wanted to title this something like 'What do Blip TV and [somebody's name] have in common?' the answer of course being 'they both suck massive dick', but since I couldn't come up with a good example I went with something simpler (but it does indeed suck massive dick). My seething hatred in...

    Need advice about living in Seattle (looking for techie input)

    Thanks for all the info. Rereading my o.p., I realized I forgot to ask something very important: How is the IST (Information Services and Technology) job market in Seattle right now? I looked on Monster and Careerbuilder and didn't see a whole lot of openings, but given that it is the end of the...

    Need advice about living in Seattle (looking for techie input)

    For a long time now I've been aiming to get back to the California coast (I lived in various places up and down the state back around the forging of the Great Rings of Power).

    Weird Windows 7 multibooting error

    A couple months ago I put together a new system, listed below. I ran into a weird problem that I couldn't figure out, and neither could my friends (we all work in IT, embarrassingly enough). I'm currently running Windows 7 RTM only and am getting ready to reinstall Server 2008, Centos, and...

    Wireless keyboard weirdness

    I recently bought a Logitech cordless Wave keyboard, and if I let my computer sit idle for a little bit, or if I start entering text in a webpage I just opened up, it will automatically insert a zero (0) in front of whatever I type. Sometimes it will go crazy and start spewing out zeros and will...
