Oh no! More boring computer problems! Oh no!

Might be a cooling issue, some guy talks about it here -

I am at a loss.

i feel like that's too simple

Oh, I had no success with this either, but now the whole iBook makes a kind of clicking noise when I type, so I'm guessing I have a hardware problem. Sigh.

Assuming by "the icon" you mean "the application", yes that's really it.

Unless you want to purge the configuration files it created for your user, which is really unnecessary if all that happened was you tried it and didn't like it. Sometimes you need to do this when you want to reinstall the app from a clean slate though. You can do it by searching Library in your home folder for files with the same name as the app (you'll probably find things in Application Support and Preferences), or you can just use, e.g. http://appzapper.com/ (but you'll need to pay $18 for that, which is beyond the means of someone who can't tip without "breaking the bank").

I checked in control panel stuff and there is no exclamation mark next to anything related to sound. I have found a way to fix it, I uninstall the drivers for audio and restart the computer and it works fine. But, I was wondering if there was any way to fix that, because it is a bit annoying having to restart the comp everytime I wanna listen to music.

It also randomly brings up the calculator!

I've googled for such shortcuts or key combinations I could be unknowingly hitting but nothing has come up.

Do you guys have any idea? I just got a new computer approx 2 weeks ago and have had this problem with the old one AND the new one from the start so I think a virus is out of the question...

SO confused!

Ledge - I'll look at that next time it happens - which 'event' is best to check? application/security/system? Or just try all of 'em?

I can only conclude my desk is haunted.

Daft question, but I take it it's not a laptop running out of batteries. If not, do you have the option set up in Control Panel->Power Options, then 'Power Schemes' tab, to perform a system standby any time other than 'never' (see the bottom drop down).

overheating?

whenever I'm running a game in fullscreen mode, if there's a desktop event, like an irritating freebie virus scanner popping up an "upgrade me now!!!" alert box, then that can cause an uninitiated reboot. I've no idea why so i've just tried to stop such events from happening.

SCAN IN PRINTED TEXT

and have it MAGICALLY CONVERTED

into

TEXT YOU CAN EDIT?

"ISO 8601 describes several formats to define date, times, periods, and recurring dates, with different levels of precision and indetermination. After many discussions, W3C XML Schema selected a subset of these formats and created a primitive datatype for each format that is supported.

The indeterminacy allowed in some of these formats adds a lot of difficulty, especially when comparisons or arithmetic are involved. For instance, it is possible to define a point in time without specifying the time zone, which is then considered undetermined. This undetermined time zone is identical all over the document (and between the schema and the instance documents) and it's not an issue to compare two datetimes without a time zone. The problem arises when you need to compare two points in time, one with a time zone and the other without. The result of this comparison will be undetermined if these values are too close, since one of them may be between -13 hours and +12 hours of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)."

from XML Schema by Eric van der Vlist. why is it a problem specifically for that range? does exactly one time need not to have a time zone? how close do the times need to be? can someone come up with an example illustrating exactly what the problem is? obviously if one time is not timezoned, the comparison will be indeterminate, but i have a feeling he means something else, or that there are other conditions that i'm just not seeing and this has been bugging me for two days and i have no one to ask or the people i ask don't answer so if you could i would love you so ilx thank you

Obviously, if you compare 1st Jan 1963 00:00 with 8th Nov 1997 13:00, then for most purposes, the error caused by not having a time zone is pretty minimal.

It perhaps depends on why you think this is an issue, Youn... Why would it cause you problems? Are you sending documents across time zones?

For example, if you have the timestamp: Feb 7th 2007, 13:00 EST, and the timestamp Feb 7th 2007, 13:00 (with no zone specified), then obviously you can't tell which is earlier (or if they are equal). On the other hand, the timestamp Feb 5th 2007, 13:00 (no zone again) is always going to be earlier than the first one, because the two points are too far apart for specifying the timezone to make any difference.

In the context of XML it's not a problem if neither timestamp has a zone, because all timestamps without zones should behave as if they're all in the same time zone - this is what "this undetermined time zone is identical all over the document" means.

(xpost)

It's obviously just a FF problem, since it doesn't affect any other apps and the cursor is still free to move - it just won't change to a finger or whatever at the right time, or register a click immediately, or pause as text input is going in, or whatever I'm trying to to do. It's sounds like it's trying to check something, hence why I turned the other stuff off even though it wasn't causing a problem before.
