Is it a broadcom Bluetooth device?
I'm pretty sure it is, but to be honest, I don't recall 100%. I know the one on my other computer is :p

-- Okay, google'd it and it's looking like it is a broadcom device.

I don't have the error message here right now, but last time I googled it, it took me to a bug page with my error from just a week or so before I had the error.

I did try to see if an update would fix it, but alas there wasn't one that did anything with bluetooth.

If you have any ideas, I'm all ears - as I really wanna get this puppy working (especially now that I've invested so much of my limited data in to the installation process :p )

Hmm.. I'm not finding much out about it online...

It's weird, but I'm thinking I'll have to pull out the manual that I saved :p

Hmm.. in the manual there was a fcc number, which seems to be an asus device. Which is odd because I was getting broadcom hits in my first searches... :eek:

Well, I'll keep using Linux Mint installed to a flash drive for the time being. :p

One day...perhaps not too far off in the future...I'm going to be that "crazy cat lady" in the neighborhood. :eek: I really must stop rescuing cats. And I will. One day. But, seriously, how could I resist a face like this? :D

He joined my family on Halloween, bringing my [as of right now] total number of cats to six. :)

Don't know how but for about 5 seconds it looked like I was a guide... I knew it was a mistake... since I'm not a guide...and there was no "guide" label under it... (and no, I didn't Photoshop this) :thinking::thinking::thinking:
After I took the ss and scrolled to check another post it returned to blue...

Don't know how but for about 5 seconds it looked like I was a guide... I only realized it was a mistake when there as no "guide" label under it... (and no, I didn't Photoshop this) :thinking::thinking::thinking:

Yeah this happened to me too once upon a time but it was a while ago! :)

But I was a lovely evil little Stinker so before refreshing the page or going back I decided to try and look for a way to try and ban some thing with my new super legendary forum powers!

>:-D

Mwhahahaa!

Yeah!

But I then realized it was just my user name that was green or something and that I couldn't even ban myself so I became very unhappy and started breaking stuff. :)

So, I noticed newer members posting phrases like: "I accidentally my phone." or "I accidentally you." and later someone mentioned they were using scripted posts.

Does that mean that "user" is really a computer generated presence?
What is the potential gain to be had by that?

Keyloggers? I have no idea actually. That is pretty weird.

I've been tracking this since it started.

It's childish.

And I was the one who mentioned it.
