Was the pre-compromise contraception coverage exactly the same as Romney's in MA?

Or was there some tiny subtle difference?

If it was exactly the same it seems they will have a hard time still going hammer and tongs after Obama on this issue once Mitt becomes the nominee as I think he's still likely to do, Santorum surge nonwithstanding.

Do the GOP Primaries feature Superdelegates, or the equivalent?

If so, what percentage of the total delegate count are they?

Has Romney actually given any in depth interviews since this campaign season started?

I know he's tried to campaign only against Obama, until Newt threw a monkey wrench in that, and trying to shift back to that now that he looks to wrap up the primaries, but I don't recall him actually giving any long interview on TV or in print.

Did he?

Question: re putting HDD from old laptop into new, identically configured laptop.

My situation - I had a laptop that got physically damaged beyond repair. I think the HDD and RAM sticks may still be intact and recovered them.

Let's assume for the moment that the HDD is intact and functioning.

I've been looking at purchasing the exact same model of laptop from eBay as a replacement, same CPU/RAM/motherboard/GPU configuration, same everything.

If I bought the replacement, verified it was working, then swapped out the HDDs, I'd assume it would boot up with all my old software and data.

The key question is, would I have an issue with the Windows authorization for updates and support since it would be a different CPU ID than the old computer? Is there a way around this?

Need Help re: picture viewing while web browsing (works in IE and Chrome but not Firefox)

There was a picture slideshow presentation on The Washington Post's website that I was unable to view in Firefox but worked in both Internet Explorer and Chrome. Here is the link to the slideshow:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/40-dishes-every-washingtonian-must-try/2011/12/23/gIQA9KRbOP_gallery.html?fb_ref=NetworkNews

In Firefox, the page comes up for the first slide, with its caption, but there is no picture and the link to advance to the next slide does nothing.

Is it a setting in Firefox options to enable Flash/Java etc. that I need to change? Youtube video viewing works fine in Firefox. Is there a plugin or addon that I need?

Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to bookmark specific threads anymore?

That's one of the main things I used DU before in the past.

Is there a "My DU" type of functionality in the new board?

Where replies to recent posts etc. show up? Not obvious to me cruising the board.

Any Starcraft 2 players here?

Love the game. I'm a gold league player and play Zerg. I'm up for casual games any time.

I'm on the North American server, my character name and code are Yama.813 if you want to friend me and hit me up for games sometime.

I'm happy to chat on skype during and after games to to go over things. Also happy to let opponents practice cheesy early rushes like bunker rushes, proxy barracks or proxy gateway/starport, cannon rushing etc. against me as it helps me practice defending against those.

Feel free to send me a PM also if you're too shy to post your username and code here.
