Yeah, I sent down a Westphalian curse ...

From a Westphalian ham. ;)

Cheers

We recently discovered that a local German butcher has it. When I entered their store it was like I'd gone to heaven. $60 and many pounds of good stuff later I headed back home. From a health point of view this store is probably the surgeon general's nightmare.

Is there a particular German farm where you prefer their product over others? (I'm assuming there is more than one farmer following these raising and curing practices.) And is "very salty" something you expect or are their variations here?

No, and to be honest I don't even know where this butcher gets his meat from. But there isn't any choice anyhow, this is the only butcher that carries genuine Westphalian ham. And Landjaeger, and Leberkaes, and Kasseler, and ...

When I grew up, farmers and individual households did the curing but that has become rare. Back then it was kind of salty which I always liked. Probably the worst food in terms of ultra-high sodium content is the Swedish Saltrulle. A part of the back of moose cured in super-salty brine. I could eat that all day long on crunchy bread.

I've seen that, when I was low on RAm, and Windows had been running for weeks between reboots. If you click on Firebox in the 'Task Mangler' and 'Switch to', it reappears in the tray.

No, he has Baer Syndrome.

Basically, it says to kill the hung process or reboot the computer. Add to the things to do list clearing the Firefox web cache and the Java cache. If nothing works, burnt offerings on the barbeque have been known to appease the computah gods.

I need a rant...

I am tech support, and I know it all. I anxiously wait for your latest call. You've only to play, the game of voice mail, I'll be there shortly, I'm working my tail. Now tell me your problem, and what did you do? This cannot have happened. I haven't a clue. I may have the answer, though it's slightly late, Just buy the next version, release, or update. Next, tell me your problem, no matter how small, I am tech support, and I know it all...

Do you have any plugins enabled?

While I wouldn't assume that something as complex as a web browser is going to be bug-free, enabling the Flash, Acrobat or Java plugins certainly won't improve matters.

Flash is sometimes unavoidable, but there's no need to use Acrobat via a plugin. Having to select "Open in Acrobat" from a dialog is a minor inconvenience, and you retain to option to select "cancel" when a random website decides to hand you a PDF file for no apparent reason.
