I'm sure this doesn't help at all but that reminds me of someone hopelessly trying to put a dollar into a vending machine, only to have the machine spit the dollar back out time after time. Have you narrowed it down to which discs...

Control- or right-click on it. Does the menu say "URL" (grayed out) or "Show In Finder"? If it says "Show In Finder", what happens when you click that? Filepath? Also, when you click the icon does it open...

Not to single out anyone here, but can we keep everything looking like internationally recognized English, with correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar? I'm sure that it would certainly mean a lot to whatever damned soul will try to...

As for the stupid and life threatening stuff, definitely have to be hitting nearly 60MPH on a crappy little 18-speed, 24" mountain bike...going downhill. It was mostly gravity doing the job, as over 30MPH you can pedal as fast as...

Pro keyboards are really bad about this. Every single one at school that I've seen has had this problem, as well as mine (which resides comfortably in the closet now.) I'm trying to remember what site had a take apart (complete with...
