  1. I tried an average F5 which didn't work that well, but today is a new day... Looks like it works, but still the toolbar buttons won't work Ctrl+F5 isn't solving the toolbar issue, so probably an update-Chrome-XP thing.
  2. My highest concerns about the new iMac come from the Nvidia GPUs. Their chips get darn hot, I had not 2 but 3 of their GPUs going fubar and damaging the mobo on my computer, which has worked more than 5 years without any "serious" problem once I moved to an ATI chipset GPU. It's possible Apple decided to go with the 5400 rpm HDD to avoid excessive heating. The 7200 ones get pretty warm under heavy use.
  3. Some people say it's very different but that it runs faster/better. What's the problem with it?
  4. I'm having troubles with the reply features, the emoticon legend won't open, nor other style, code options, quote isn't working well... this on Chrome and Windows XP.
  5. Eventually the quote thing isn't working that well.

The cast is to completely immobilize it to "cool it down," and revist in two weeks. I asked the wtf with the pain if I'd not done new damage, and he took out a highlighter on this section of my MRI report:<br /><br />Severe ankle joint osteoarthritis with complete loss of cartilage along the bulk of the tibial plafond as well as essentially complete loss of cartilage along the medial talar dome. There is marked bony hypertrophy along the syndesmosis, worse on the tibila side and there is evidence of prior ORIF of the distal fibula. This is clearly chronic. Large subcortical cysts are forming on both sides of hte markedly degenerated tibiotalar joint. Chronic moderate posterior subtalar joint osteroarthristis. Osteoarthristis of the third tarsometatarsal joint, also likely chronice. Mild pre-Archilles bursitis. This could be an acute finding.<br /><br />I have to look up what most of that means, but I don't really care. Truth is I'm thrilled. It's just my regular old messed up ankle that I love. Apparently falling eight feet onto whatever that report is talking about needs to be avoided, but I'll be fine. It may take two weeks. It may take two months. I'll be back to normal, and that's all tha matters.</p></blockquote>arghhh the fracture just has screwed up the tiny balance on that joint, so the chronic damage now has decided to ache. Possibly pain will go away once you can start PT. Sorry Vicki, get well soon.

    yes, very easy to insert. I've fallen slept several times wearing them. And sound sweet and engaging, fun when required, lovely voices, pretty good bass... Even at 150 I'd say they're a steal.

  17. Amazing season end. I don't think Ferrari is in condition to produce a car which is competitive against Red Bull and McLaren yet. They need a true genius to make better than Newey . I'm afraid they have troubles beyond the wind tunnel. And Fernando isn't getting any younger. We'll see, it's going to be a long wait
  18. Happy (belated) Birthday!!!! I've read and seen at the other thread that it's been a very "beery" one
  19. Take it easy, I don't think the MRI will throw new light on the problem, but won't hurt either. Give some time to your body to heal, don't overload the ankle if you're allowed to charge weight on it, and try not to gain weight. I'm sure the outcome will be great The fracture is clean and should heal without complications.
  20. Vicki, you've got a broken bone, and that aches. Normally it takes about 4 weeks to get a decent fracture callus (or whatever it's said in English). On that Rx I don't see any yet. It's at that point when pain relieves, but still it's normal some pain when charging your weight on the joint. Are you wearing a cast yet?
  21. LOL, Even a skilled traumatologist would have a tough time to diagnose from that pic. The flash spot isn't helping either. I see two possible injuries, one in the tibia the other in the fibula. My vote goes for the last one, specially if your ankle sprained. Good part is that it doesn't seem displaced.
  22. Have a great celebration of this nice tradition. It's clever being thankful of everything wonderful around us.
  23. Yep, it's a weird thing. QT7 didn't play it in my computers, but on the Mac installing Flip Player made the trick.
