@aspender I was reading bits of the HTTP spec but actually I can't even access http://www.w3.org/

@aspender no, assume the problem is due to sharing a single outbound IP address with an lot of other employees. i'm not doing anything :)

forbidden access to w3.org because my IBM IP address has been blocked for 24 hours due to re-requesting files too often

"Hi Simon - is this on a Dell Mini 10v? These instructions are only applicable to that device. The only suggestion I can make is to give the netbook Internet access using a wired connection and run the update manager to get the latest updates. Failing that I'd recommend getting advice from the Ubuntu forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/) or reporting the problem to the Ubuntu team (https://help.ubuntu.com/communi...) - they should be able to help. I'm definitely no expert :) Good luck!" - Gareth Jones

google chrome never allows a single tab to take out the whole browser. except when it does, obviously.

@timdp but it's "unique in design and stylish in colour" - what could be wrong with it?

wished prezi had a free version of prezi desktop just for playing web-created presentations - would mean it was usable on linux
