Sadness. Discovery Channel is closing all of their retail stores

[thewayne]

I really enjoyed shopping there. It's been a couple of years since I've been in one, but that's because there aren't any near here. The sad thing is, that by going to strictly an emodel, I'm less likely to buy from them. When I buy things online, I'm usually looking for a specific item and am not likely to browse.

Wow, I'm a totally abusive or at least exploiting online acquaintance, but I'm kind of freaking out about an IT issue, and though I'm posting the question in my journal, I figured you if anyone should be able to help. So:

I'm supposed to be doing subtitling work, but apparently my screen size and the programme's settings don't go together. When I start the subtitling programme, a window pops out. I'm supposed to fill in all sorts of data on it. Problem is, I can only see a part of the window and there's no scrollbar so I can't click "OK" after completing the form. Similarly, the programme window itself (you know, the one with the video and the subtitled running, the window I'm supposed to do all my work in) doesn't fit on my screen.

I've had the same problem with some websites in the past. My screen is normal-sized. (No idea on the inches. 15? 17? Not abnormally tiny in any case.)

That is all. Remind me to comment more often so I don't feel like a total parasite! ;)
