Have you tried Anonymox (think thats what its called)? I have the Firefox add on and it lets you use UK.or Dutch IP addresses.

Wonder why Al Jazeera is not available in the States. I can view their videos here in Canada, so if you find a way to get a Canadian IP that should work too.

It seems to be because they are launching Al Jazeera America tomorrow, which will be available on TV. I just tried visiting their live stream to see if that's still available, and got this message:

That would be good news if they didn't decide to restrict access to AJE because of it. I liked the commentary they had on that Empire show.

edit - Forgot to say: I'll try your recommendation tomorrow. Thanks.

Ok, I'm usually pretty good with computers but this problem is stumping me. The keyboard on my laptop seems to be completely messed up. I haven't spilled anything on it nor is there any dirt under the keys (just cleaned it last week). But when I type on it, I will press a key and get a completely different character. When I pressed A, I got N. Shit like that. It's now like a weird cryptogram puzzle that gets printed in the newspapers. The numeric keypad does not work at all, even with NumLock on. Caps key and shift keys do not work. The only key that seems to work properly is the damn space bar.

I tried doing a system restore on it, back to a few days ago before the drivers were updated, to see if that would reset things. Nothing. Absolute failure. There is also a problem with the typing cursor - if I click to type something in the middle of a sentence, it just scrolls all the way back to the end. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

What can I do? The Internet is not turning up any reasonable options. Or maybe I'm searching with the wrong keywords. Or maybe Google just sucks.

inb4 "d'oh how did you type this up then?" - I'm using my boyfriend's computer.

Maybe you accidentally set it to an international keyboard layout?

Nope, there's only 2 language options - US English and Canadian Multilingual Standard. CMS is not any different really except that you can type in French and use the accents without having to use the Unicode shortcuts. It was, and still is, set to US English.

Borrow a usb keyboard, plug it in and let the generic driver install by itself. Type. Same or not?

did somethin dumb


im in chrome. i was tryin to install a new flash player or somethin and now flash works but i have to click on videos to get the pic to even show up. like in plug, the songs dont play automatically. the screen is dark with a flash symbol and i have to click on it for the song and video to play. same with every type of media. prob very simple to fix but i dunno how. please help me nerdz

Re-install Windows.

I did that and that keyboard worked. And then when I unplugged it, the laptop keyboard seemed to have sorted out the letters and numbers, but when I press the keys, I get 3 of each character. What. The. Hell. I'm really at a loss here. The computer is still under warranty (glad I got the three year one!), but I'm hesitant to take it to those hacks because they'll say I have to pay for some crap or something.

It's not on some Unicode setting is it?
