The star for the location is on the wrong side of the road.

How does one go about trying to get this fixed by the service, MapQuest or whomever?

Also, the road is mis-named (it still carries the county name, instead of the city name)

My company used to have att as the phone T-1 provider with an Avaya Definity phone switch. Our office is in Dallas and we could call ANY phone number in the 972 or 214 area code and it was treated as a Local Call (we did NOT have to dial a "1").
We switched to a different T-1 provider for our PRI channels (and to an Avaya IP Office phone pbx) and now there are many phone exchanges within 972 that we have to use a "1" (long distance) to dial.
We did NOT have a metro line before and we dont have one now.
What happened?
Is there some other sort of service that we had before that made these calls local ???

This one person I know has a smiley-face icon next to her email address (the icon that turns yellow or grey, depending on whether the person is signed in or not), but she uses AIM and when she said she was signed on, her icon remained grey. Can I still IM her somehow, or does she have to get a Yahoo! Messenger account? And do you have to pay for one?

The latest software of iTunes has caused my powerbook to crash. When I try and log in with my password, the screen starts and then bounces back to the log in screen. Please tell me that there is a way to reinstall osx without destroying my music. I've got 3,000 files here.

Save me.
