    Donuts

    No option for all of the above? I love just about any type of donut, but I definitely prefer Dunkin' Donuts over Krispy Kreme.

    Best DVD Burner for less than $200.

    You won't go back to using Ifoedit after trying it. As Merc said, it's very quick, and anyone can figure out how to use it.

    Can't delete a file

    You could either put the name in quotes or just type in the first few letters followed by *.avi. For example: del "movie with long name.avi" or del movie*.avi

    Best movie you've seen

    That would be me. As long as there's a baseball, football, or hockey game on, there's something to watch. Yes, I watch too much TV.

    Norton System Works Pro 2001 and W2K SP4

    Firebird & IE both load in about 1-2 seconds on my PC. I really can't tell much of a speed difference between the two.

    I read it was going to be in the $700-800 range. It's basically the same chip as the $3000 Xeon, but with a different pin count.

    Image management software

    Well, I tried importing about 100,000 files into Photoshop Album, and it locked up about 80% through. It was able to handle about 20,000, and still be fairly responsive, but I don't think it can handle the really large amounts you need, Merc.

    Image management software

    I have the same problem, and I've been trying a few different programs. Besides ACDSee, there's Adobe Photoshop Album, Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album, and Ulead Photo Explorer. They all have the same basic features, but so far Photoshop Album seems to have the most promise, and has a good...

    Seagate Warranty Information

    I recently purchased a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160GB PATA 8MB cache drive, thinking it had a three year warranty. But after shmorg posted a comment in the article feedback that said his drive came with a one year warranty, I checked my own drive with Seagate's warranty validator. Sure enough, I...

    How long do CDRs last?

    I have cheap generics that are at least 5 years old, and they all still work. I don't think I've had one yet that's become unreadable (aside from scratches).

    [news] - XBIT - Ten DVD-Burners Roundup

    I also took a look at it, and I have a couple of screenshots I can send you of it. One shows a black line which shows up in different spots during the motion part of the video, and the other shows the interlacing artifacts. I'm not quite sure if either is the problem you're talking about. The...

    [news] - XBIT - Ten DVD-Burners Roundup

    TMPGEnc doesn't capture files, but it'll convert them into either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files. The latest version has preset settings to create compliant VCDs, SVCDs, and DVDs.

    [news] - XBIT - Ten DVD-Burners Roundup

    That's the bit rate for the audio. The video works out to about ~20MBytes/s. Does the compressed file skip on your computer? Have you tried converting it with TMPGEnc?

    Incredibly bad online shopping experience

    Buy.com used to have very good prices a few years ago, but now I think they're just average. I haven't bought from them in a couple of years.

    [news] - XBIT - Ten DVD-Burners Roundup

    I think the max bit rate in the DVD spec is ~10 Mbit/sec, so you are probably going over that. Depending on the source, you probably only need about half that to make a good recording.

    How do people meet people?

    Yep, that sounds exactly like how I feel. I'm not good at interacting with people, or making small talk. It takes me a long time before I feel comfortable around people, which is part of the reason I'm glad I have a close family. My relatives are about the only people I really feel comfortable...

    Whats it mean when I get "Pinged"?

    I'm pretty sure you can. I think it's somewhere under the options, where you can tell it when to notify you, and what to log.
