I'm really stupid. That's it...
For some reason, I plugged a FireWire cable into my Ethernet port today. It took a few minutes for me to realize that nothing was working. Everything seems fine now, but is it possible that I could have short-circuited something inside my machine? Should I run the Apple Hardware Test to be sure?

Well test each port and that should tell you if everything is working ok...
fortunately no damage or anything bad.
i really would run hardware checks on your machine just to be safe.
I didn't have the FireWire cable plugged into something on the other end...
Still a dumb move on my part....

I can beat that. I spent 10 min trying to figure out why my audio out wouldn't work on my new 15" Tries tons of different apps, went into sound manager 50 million times, restarted twice. I figured it was just because I couldn't wait for panther (think of it what you will) and that I was getting what I deserved. But then when I got up to get another pair of headphones I noticed I was plugging in the wrong miniplug. I was trying to plug in the connector for my stereo
Oh yeah also I had an incident about falling down the steps with my powerbook...though not complete stupidity as much as...ok stupidity.
