The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I seem to have deleted almost everything on my hard drive (Mac).
I tried to turn on the Filevault option, but after seeing that it would take a couple hours to activate I tried to cancel. For whatever reason, the cancel button didn't work, so I just turned the machine off.
When I turned it back on, I found that my wallpaper had changed to something I had a couple years ago and that everything was gone from my desktop except for a handful of things. Looking at my hard drive, I find that pretty much everything is gone and that, as best as I can tell, my computer is pretty much in the state it was after I got it back from Apple a couple years ago after it was sent in for a repair.
I'm guessing that there's no way of getting everything I downloaded since then back, but I thought I might as well ask in case there was some way. Also, I suppose I'm interested in finding out exactly what happened.
