				Stupid Computer Tricks
			 Bill and I both got new iPod Shuffles for Christmas.  Bill had his plugged into his computer to charge when a Windows update required him to reboot.  He came and got me because Windows wouldn't come back up. I played around with it for awhile. Nothing. I went into the bios setup and looked around. Then I opened the boot sequence. It went like this: Floppy (not installed) Apple iPod HDD The damn thing was trying to boot from his Shuffle, which was still plugged in. I unplugged it, exited the bios, and it booted right up!

| I Floop the Pig | You might want to go in and change the boot order so that doesn't happen again.

				            | Youtube told me today that I would not be able to access my account unless I linked it to my google account. Weird. So I clicked a button to do so, realized it was the wrong button, and now I can't access youtube at all. This is the page error message I'm receiving:  Quote:

| I Floop the Pig | Try deleting the cookie for Youtube.  Since you're using firefox, the procedure is: Tools->Options->Privacy->"remove individual cookies". Scroll down to youtube.com and delete it.
