Last time I heard cracking zip "encrypted" files was laughably easy. Still doesn't make me not want to kill the idiot who released this thing.

I thought this opened a year or so ago? Maybe they just started building it back then.

I like PCSX and Pete's plugins are by far better than anyone else. If only he would open source his OpenGL plugin PS1 emulation would be perfect.

Just like private trackers there are private Usenet indexing sites. These sites also usually encrypt their posts. Anything they do looks like random data. Could be anyone who is just sharing some files cheaply.

I think you might want to look into Media Player Classic. It looks and feels just like mplayer2 but can play pretty much anything.

Of course if you don't want to do that I'm sure this has something to do with mplayer2 not having an IE plugin. Sorry I don't have any specific ideas on how to fix it.

"They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter." What kind of moron college freshman can't figure out a typewriter? You hit a key and that letter pops up and hits the paper. Wow its like rocket science. Sure some of the fancy electric ones from the 80's were a bit more complicated. I bet ...

Wow the world doesn't revolve around Intel and Windows. Really I could care less what chip Apple uses. Sure with an Intel it may be easier to get wine running on it but Intel, IBM, Motorola, they all run a MacOS of some kind and linux. The chip really doesn't matter, hell even Microsoft had windows ...

When I call Dell I always get someone in what most likely is Texas. I know I definitely have had a few there so I figure the rest probably are as well. We have Dell Gold tech support or whatever they call it. Its pretty nice. I did have to talk to HP support from India and she spoke perfect english ...

I did this to a crap Emachine p2 400 or so. The fan had completely broke and pulling the proc out like this bent about 90% of the pins. I just tossed the computer at that point. Lucky for me the few times it has happened since I have been lucky enought to not damage anything. Stupid thermal paste.

My Mitsubishi monitor did this once. It got a real violet tint, I know it was the backlight I thought it was going to go out. I left it off for a day and when I turned it on it was back to normal. That was at least a year ago its been fine since.

I still have a 20Gb Rio Karma its anything but delicate. I have dropped it 3 times while playing and countless times while it was off and it still works just fine. If it does ever break I don't know what I'm going to do. Nothing else has gapless playback, sure I'd probably get over it but it really ...

You can tell that stupid internet security thing to not bother checking for a firewall. I do that on all computers because there are multiple firewalls between them and the Internet and I don't need a big red X for users to ask about.

Does the mouse move on the blue screen? If its that far then the kernel is loaded, the video drivers and mouse and stuff also may be loaded.
