clothesmaking question

For anyone out there who has ever made a pair of pants with a fly-button (as opposed to elastic waist), or in fact anything that has that kind of button on it:

I have a pair of jeans where the fly-button has come apart somehow into two component pieces (male and female). I guess something came uncrimped or wore out in the female part. I assume it is possible to buy a new button and set it in the jeans, but do I need any kind of special tool or equipment to do this (like one needs a rivet setter for rivets), or can it be done by hand?

wtf Google's "suggested groups" for me?

okay, I suppose. I am not sure exactly what search data it distilled this suggestion from, but it's not that weird.

soc.bi - join
Group description: Discussions of bisexuality.
Usenet, public

again, not sure what precisely this would have been based on from my aggregate data. probably not anything particular but just "other people who who also searched for that searched for this as well" kind of thing (although they have missed the mark in suggesting it for me).

I give up on this one.

*cackle*

I'm totally amused by this search result:

Results 1 - 100 of 666 for talk.religion.newage ascension (0.83 seconds)

The devil's work, indeed!

backups

I feel like I should know this but that my brain is just extra dumb at this moment.

I want to back up my hard drive on DVD but both Nero BackItUp and Microsoft's Backup (rightly) complain that E: has only about 20 MB on it, I assume since the disc is not formatted. Surely there should be some way to handle this without having to DirectCD format the thing. I am just drawing a blank.
