This isn't a pressing issue, but the embedded youtube videos on this site look weird for me. But if I go to youtube.com it looks normal there. This has happened in the last few days. I've tried restarting my browser and my computer but neither have worked. Here is a screen shot of the problem. Anyone have ideas about what caused it and how to fix it?

My internet absolutely blows. I use Chrome and have 5 home pages set to open when I start it...If i'm lucky I'll have one of those pages load, and the rest come up with an error saying something like: Oops, Google Chrome cannot find this web page at this time. After hitting F5 a few times per page, they all semi-load, but without half of the pictures. Instead of pictures, there are those stupid error gif's of the small piece of paper with the triangles on it torn at the bottom right. If I refresh the same page, maybe 5% of the time the pictures would show up. Take for example the WDT on here, when I open the first page, it shows maybe half the pictures in all their glory, the other half are those annoying as fuck gif's. If the pictures are in a spoiler tag or something else, I'll never get them to show up, no matter what I do. I've hit F5 so many times the letters are starting to wear off. I've tried opening the images in new windows, but that same Oops message from above keeps appearing. Is there anything I can do on this end short of calling up my internet provider and bitching about their shit service? PS, it's bad when my cell phone gets better internet than my home connection.
Whenever I run my laptop on AC power is slows to an unbearable pace. I take out the cord and boom, everything starts loading. Plug it back in... sloooooooow. Even typing something like this is a chore. It applies to the entire computer, not just loading webpages. I run Windows Vista. Tried rebooting, no improvement. Going to run AdAware and McAfee. Any suggestions in the meantime?
Check your power management settings both in the BIOS and in the Windows Control panel. It may be that your "plugged-in" profile is screwed up. Check the manufacturer website for power management driver updates or BIOS updates. It's almost certainly related to your power management settings somehow.
Any recommendations for a personal web filtering program (something like Net Nanny or the like)? I'm familiar with Websense, because that's what we use at work, but I just need something to keep my kids from porn and stuff. Thanks.
OpenDNS is great. It's easy to use, free, requires no additional software, and unless your kids are particularly computer savvy, they don't see anything that might tempt them to try and bypass it (i.e. no installed program, nothing running in the task bar, etc.)
Is there a way to make an MP3 from a youtube video? This version of "All Along the Watchtower" is amazing and I'd love to have it on my ipod somehow, but I can't find it anywhere, through itunes or amazon or any other means. I apologize if asking this is against the rules, but I will seriously pay money if someone can point me to a downloadable MP3 of this.
That'll be $29.95 plus tax, plus processing fees, plus shipping and handling, and a "Did not Google the answer first" surcharge... so, an even $75 will do it.

Why won't my computer open cracked.com on any of the three browsers I've tried. Its been doing this for months, every other website imaginable works. It won't work on any of the multiple networks I have tried.
I have a lot of home videos and other stuff that I need to back up and using DVDs just doesn't cut it. I have a dual layer drive but the dual layer DVDs are a bit pricey and the single layer ones are pretty useless unless I want to burn a stack. I'm thinking about using an external hard drive for all my back up stuff. How reliable are they and which would be the best/cheapest to use?
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.backblaze.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.backblaze.com</a> Subscribe. Best thing I ever did for my backups. No worries, no thinking about it, just a regular, reliable backup. Get your shit off-site. Otherwise, backups are only marginally useful - what happens in a fire, or a flood, or a burglary? I had my computer stolen - and the external drive I used to back stuff up. Fortunately, I had DVDs too but I still lost a couple months of photos. Do the online backup thing, and go into Best Buy or go to Newegg.com and purchase the cheapest external drive they have to keep an additional copy. It's just for redundancy, so if it fails, no big deal.
I'm having a hard time installing my wife's copy of Adobe CS4 on our new PC with Windows 7. It worked fine on the old laptop with XP, but apparently isn't compatible with 7. I've tried searching online for suggestions, and I know I'm not the only one with this problem, but none of the other solutions have worked. Has anyone else had a similar problem, or have any suggestions for this? I know Windows 7 has some compatibility issues, but I haven't had time to play around with it enough to fully understand it before I start messing around too much. I haven't called Adobe Tech Support yet either, this all came up late yesterday and I'm stuck at work all day. Thanks!
Have you tried manually setting a different DNS server? Go into your router settings, and try OpenDNS: 208.67.220.220, or 208.67.222.222 . If by chance your ISP is Cox, you can also try their non-hijacking DNS server at 68.105.22.13 . I had a problem a few months ago where I could get to this board only from behind a proxy server (I wasn't banned, honest!), and found that my DNS server was dropping the ball.
I'm not sure whether to post this here, or in the "Can someone help me with..." thread, and I realize my chances are slim but: Does anyone have the setup file for Cerberus FTP Server version 2? The current version is 4, and I was lucky enough to find that someone had the setup file for V3 on a Rapidshare-like site, but I'm not having any luck with that either. They changed something since V2 that's preventing me from FTPing in from the same computer, much less friends and family across the country being able to get in, and I'm too dumb to figure out what it is. So... Cerberus V2 setup file? Anyone? Bueller?
Odds are it's a reverse DNS lookup requirement or something similar. Maybe try and find that preference and disable it, see if it works. Most people don't have reverse DNS set up properly for their machines, especially "non-servers" running server software.
That's not true. I have a copy installed on my W7 machine right now. So... what, exactly, is the problem? "I'm having a hard time" doesn't really describe it.
