Oh well. Thanks for trying. If you DO remember that button sequence trick, let me know and I'll try it!

Yeah I was probably editing my post when you added yours. I added this: Also, I have tried a wired mouse and the problem persists even with that mouse. That suggests to me that it is not the mouse but a software issue as you said. I have tried unpairing and even turning off Bluetooth completely and using the wired mouse and yet the problem persists.

Don't know if you're as interested in the Revolutionary War as you are in the Civil War, but my great-great-great grandfather was part of the Continental Army and supplied guns for them. William Henry. Of possible note to people of this site, the Henry Homestead in Nazareth, PA was next door to the Martin Homestead, birthplace of Martin Guitars.

Thanks! Yeah, to clarify, this is not a trackpad issue, but a Bluetooth mouse. It's not the Mighty Mouse, but it seems from the brief searches I did that the problem exists with all Bluetooth mice. And I was wrong, the reason I didn't think it was happening when Safari was off was due to the fact I didn't have any windows open that were larger than the screen, so nowhere to scroll. Once I opened one, the prblem came back. There seems to be all sorts of explanations for this from signal interference to a dirty trackball. None of the fixes are working for me though so I'm hopeful you can find

Thanks, I'll search around a bit too. But it has to have SOMETHING to do with Safari because it only happens when Safari is open.

Well I feel like other Bond movies, even Connery editions, leave the character seriously one-dimensional. That's boring to me. I like that Bond makes mistakes, falls in love (not just lust), loses people and is shut off from everyone. He is able to do what he does becuase he is so troubled and borderline psychotic. But I agree some of the action is a little much and wears you down after a while. I think that's so the masses will accept a more human Bond movie, which is a shame. But you're right... it's just different strokes. Back on topic (sorta), I think IM and TDK are just about equal.

can't agree with this. The most recent two Bond movies have been the best since On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which probably for relatively weak performance by Lazenby, gets too often overlooked. If it had Connery, it would be the best Bond movie made, IMO. Roger Moore was the height of campy Bond and those films are mostly unwatchable for me.

So more issues with my piece of shit Mac. I am using my fiance's XP laptop to type this (which incidentally is about $1k less and works much better). I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and has a fix for me. Whenever Safari is open (this happens in all programs when Safari is open, not just Safari), and the mouse cursor is in the main window of whatever program is on top, the screen scrolls up and down erratically. I tried restarting, but no luck. This has happened before, but it corrected itself relatively quickly. This time I can't get it to stop.

In Bruges would probably work for you then. He's supposed to be annoying in that one.

Me too. And I took four years of French! So is it BONE eee-vair?

The voice thing didn't bother me as much as some. I can understand the need for Bruce Wayne to use a different voice as Batman. What bothered me about Bale's performance was It was entertaining -- and perhaps that's all you should ask of a Batman movie -- but it seemed it wanted to be more... it could have been more.

Didn't this come out in 2007?

I'm not actually as big a fan of the Dark Knight as most. I liked the first one more overall and were it not for Heath Ledger, I might have actively disliked Dark Knight. That said, what Nolan has done right with the relaunch is avoid the stunt casting of villains as they did in the previous Batman movies. If Nolan is still involved*, I can almost guarantee this is false. If Nolan isn't involved, Hollywood studio execs are even dumber than i thought... and that's saying something. * Despite what the article says, I have heard Nolan hasn't agreed to do a third one yet (which makes me doubt th

Bob Eubanks for the win!

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=08...;show_article=1 Doesn't sacrificing free market ideals to save the free market seem kind of silly? If the free market ideals Bush subscribes to worked in the first place, he wouldn't need to sacrifice them. If the free market ideals work -- period! -- why would he need to sacrifice them to save the economy? I consider myself fiscally conservative, but also think a lot of pure free marketers live in a fairy tale land of theory, not reality.

We watched this last per NPR's suggestion. It was okay. It had its moments, but overall it felt kinda flat and felt like it had a lot of unfulfilled potential.

Yeah, I'll catch them in August.

I'll be busy gettin' hitched, not that I'd ever go to the 'Roo anyway.

It was worth the wait.

So out of curiosity, how do you all rank the studio AB albums? Mine would go thusly: 1. Mysterious Production of Eggs 2. Noble Beast 3. Armchair Apocrypha 4. Swimming Hour 5. Soldier On EP 6. Weather Systems 7. Oh! The Graandeur I don't have Music of Hair or Thrills.

Wow I am surprised at all the negativity. I think this album is far richer than AA. With the exception of Armchairs and Simple X, I don't think there is much depth to that album. Don't get wrong I love Heretics, Imitosis, Plasticities and others, but they aren't as rich and don't have as much depth as my favorite Bird. This album has more of what I love about Bird. I'm wondering if people will appreciate it more once they have some time to live with it for a while. I agree that the depth comes at the expense of immediate accessibility.

Yeah, I think that's what draws me to it. I would say if NB and AA are the extremes of the Bird classical/pop continuum, Eggs falls right in the middle. Hey, no offense intended. I know I am in the vast minority on that one. That's sort of my point. Who knows what makes what click for each individual.

Well it's not that he DOES loops, it's that the songs sound as if they were written more in his live style rather than the more fully-realized compositions of the Eggs (and now Nobel Beast). Armchairs' songs are, by and large, much less diverse (within each composition) and feel more like lyrics laid on repeating patterns rather than a more harmonically and structurally interesting (to my ears at least) approach taken on Eggs and Beast. But to each his (or her) own! FWIW, I feel this is obvious in the live setting. Even with the bass player, the Armchairs songs lend themselves the live styl

Oh don't get me wrong, I love Armchair too. I just think Noble Beast is better.
