I recently joined two communities bookish and bookshare that have a fair amount of overlap between them. Is there some way to hide duplicate entires on my Friends page?

Normally I would just choose between the two communities, but so far I like them both equally. Sigh.

I have two Firefox questions.

1) I have it set up so that I can only install programs on the admin account of my computer. For some reason, even when I have just updated Firefox there and I am getting the screen saying, "Thanks! You've updated to the latest version of Firefox," I get an error while I am opening the program saying that it's trying to update but can't. Does anyone have any idea of how to switch this off, at least on my regular user account? Is there a preference somewhere I don't know about?

2) How do you change saved passwords? Firefox will save my passwords, but I do change my passwords, so I've been having to type them in again the past few months, over the wrong ones. How can I fix this?

Thank you, Oracle!

I seek a coffeeshop or restaurant near Copley. It should be large or quiet enough to have a private conversation in. It cannot be Francesca's. It must be open in the afternoon. I'd rather it not be a chain. Any suggestions?

I tried Googlemaps, but that's not getting me much.

ETA: Never mind, it just needed more Google.

So, as most of you know, my birthday is coming up. This year, I want to have a birthday mix with songs that talk about getting older in a positive way, and/or circle of life type stuff. Got any suggestions?

( The list so far. )

So, here is the question that 7j and I have been researching today.

Is it currently possible, or will it soon be possible, to get the HPV vaccine in Boston?

MGH - says they don't have it in the following departments: STD clinic, Gynecology, Infectious Diseases.
Cambridge Health Alliance - says they don't have it in the following departments: Infectious Diseases, Women's Health (both locations), primary care (the last is apparently having a meeting to decide whether they'll offer it but have no idea when)
Brigham and Women's - Gyn department says they are waiting to receive the vaccine, they are planning to offer it. You can reach them at (617) 732-5500.
Beth Israel DMC - Gyn department says they're not offering it, suggests calling a pediatrician.
Fenway - has not yet returned call.
New England Medical Center - Gyn dept couldn't give me a definitive answer but says "we haven't heard anything about it, and we would've."
Planned Parenthood of MA - Says that it's not out yet, they think they will have it when it's available but don't know for sure.
Sidney Borum Jr Health Center - They hope to eventually have it but couldn't give me a timeframe.

On a larger scale:
Massachusetts CDC - no knowledge
Massachusetts DPH - have to call back to their vaccine unit on Monday.

Anyone have more promising leads? Or others that they've ruled out, at least? Or places I haven't thought to try that are still Boston Metro?

So, I bought a Sansa SanDisk c130 mp3 player.

The thing that's strange is that is seems to have music already loaded on it - twenty tracks - and I can't figure out how to delete them. When I look at the drive menu, I can't find them.

Any thoughts, clues, or suggestions?

So, I now have an iPod, courtesy of la starkey.

However, before I can do anything with it, I need earphones/buds and a cable whereby I can convert micro-FireWire to regular FireWire.

Where would be a good place to go for this? The places I can think of at the moment are Microcenter on Mem Drive and Best Buy in the Galleria.

Also, where do you guys like to go for podcasts? I seem to be in a folksy mood the past few weeks, so that would probably be my top choice, if they even DO them for folk.

ETA: Okay, on the other hand - how expensive would it be to put the FireWire connection port right on my laptop? It doesn't have one now. It looks like maybe I would need something like this?

Anyone else having a problem with viewing their friends page through a filter?

I have been playing with Photoshop (yay!).

My question is this: I have a figure that has no background. Is there some way to automatically outline the figure in black? Because that's what I want to do before I add a background.

Thanks!

Apparently I did something.

I don't know what I did, but now my screen display is a quarter of the size of the screen. It's surrounded by black. The windows and the task bar and everything are shrunk down and in the middle of the screen.

I don't particularly care how I did it - but how do I fix it?
