    Which version of WMP did you like best?

    I wasn't really a big fan until Media Player 11. I now use it over Winamp.

    Sony DVPNS75HUpconverting DVD Player $111.90 @ Amazon

    Extelleron, you need HDMI to take advantage of the upconversion. I have this player. It is pretty good.

    Can't find satisfying PVR software

    I use Media Portal. How old is the comp? I just meet the minimum requirements, but it seems to work OK for me.

    Free Visual Studio 2005 Standard Editon

    Yeah, I got an email that it shipped in early March, but it never showed up. Oh well, no big loss if it doesn't come. I downloaded the Express editions anyway.

    TV Tuner Software

    I'm using Windows XP Pro. I have it installed on my older machine, which is an old 1.4 Ghz Athlon. The requirements say that is the minimum, but it is running pretty well so far. I may get a little more RAM for it though (I have 512 MB now).

    TV Tuner Software

    Have you tried Mediaportal or GB-PVR? Those are the 2 free ones I know of for Windows. I am trying out Mediaportal right now. Looks very promising.

    PNY Geforce 7900GT $289.69 @ Monarch, $299.00 @ newegg

    Yeah, I have a 9800 Pro as well. But I need to upgrade my mobo for PCI Express. Hmm...maybe it is time to go dual core at the same time. :)

    Looking for a program to convert CDs to MP3

    Exact Audio Copy (EAC) is the best. CDex is pretty good too.

    baseball games

    I have MVP 2005 for the PS2. It is really good, but I bet another one is coming out. Didn't EA buy an exclusive contract? Or was that just for football?

    Can't you just use winamp to generate the html/text file based on the playlist for said DVD?

    Which band has fallen the farthest EVER? UPDATE w/ POLL!

    People actually think Pinkerton was horrible? Wow.... I love Blue and Pinkerton. Green had some nice poppy songs, but didn't really last for me. I remember Maladroit had a couple of good songs. I mainly remember Keep Fishin'. It seemed like a lot was filler. All I've heard of the new...

    The meltdown in Houston continues

    Typically Oswalt has one awful inning a game. And pitches next to flawless the rest of the game. But, yeah, that was even worse than usual.

    The meltdown in Houston continues

    That would be what is known as "the Oswalt inning."

    CIV IV

    I'm surprised so many people hated CivIII. I really liked most of the improvements.

    OMG, funniest video ever...

    LOL! Thanks, I needed that.

    Pujols!!!!

    Lidge got himself into trouble by walking Edmonds so easily. I was actually thinking they might walk Pujols and pitch to Sanders. Oh well....

    OMG!!!! Astros won tonight!!! 2 Cardinals ejected!!! Great Game...

    Yeah, what a great game. Did you read Edmonds lips before he got tossed? He was asking to get thrown out....lol.

    i love this screeeen... -_-;

    I've had my 2005FPW for about three months now and have had absolutely no problems with it. I even checked for dead pixels and didn't find any. I absolutely love the thing.

    Brothers in Arms

    I absolutely loved it. Playing through it again on hard. Last couple of levels are hard as hell!

    How to disable files listing in directory on website directory?

    As simple as unchecking "directory browsing" if you are using IIS.

    I'm thinking about selling HL2/CS:S

    Is HL2 really that buggy? I've never had it crash on me before. I'm more of a single player guy though. I've played CS and HL Multi a few times.

    Brother's In Arms for PC

    I loved it. But I can see why a lot of people would not.

    The most awkward and uncomfortable minute of footage I've ever seen.

    Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 and Operation Flashpoint GOTY

    http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/377887.asp?q=flashpoint Gamepost gave it an 8.7 and IGN gave it an 8.8.

    Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 and Operation Flashpoint GOTY

    Thanks! I ordered both of them. I've been wanting to get Flashpoint for awhile, and Soldiers looks good enough to take a gamble on.

    Dell 2005FPW - Deal DEAD

    Yeah, I'm not sure how he did this either. I went ahead and pulled the trigger.

    Dell 2005fpw $459.30

    Dude, you actually convinced me. Especially after I saw the $384 deals that were around not too long ago. I hope that happens again!

    Dell 2005fpw $459.30

    Heck, it is a pretty decent chunk of change even for a working man! I am definitely tempted though.....

    Gaim problem

    Is it crashing? You might want to get the most recent version and see if that helps.

    AIM Alternatives?

    You can get the system tray icon by going to the Plugins section in the Preferences windows. From there you can click on the System Tray Icon option. This causes Gaim to minimize to the system tray when you click the close button. Hope that helps.

    What video player do you guys use,

    I use WMP 10 and ffdshow for codecs, but I am thinking about trying out Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative because I hate Quicktime and I refuse to install RealPlayer on my system.

    What is wrong with google on my friends comp

    You might want to see what ActiveX stuff is running through IE. Go to Tools > Manage Add-ons. You are probably going to see some funky dlls. I had a similar problem to the one above and removed the problem by getting rid of them in IE and zapping them with Microsoft's Anti-Spyware.

    Brothers in Arms for $34.99 plus as low as $1.99 for shipping total = $36.98 shipped!!

    It isn't just another WW2 FPS. It is very different from Call of Duty. In BiA you can't just rush an enemy's position. You HAVE to use flanking tactics. So far I am enjoying it, but it is getting hard towards the end. I would say it has some issues, but it is a definite step in the right...

    I use Winamp Lite for audio and WMP 10 for video.

    Brothers in Arms

    I picked it up this morning. It's $37.99 at Fry's. I've played it for about two hours. So far it has been really impressive. I was a little wary after hearing a lot of the negative comments online. If you like your FPS with more strategy I would recommend it. I must say the graphics are a...

    Good news - Brothers in Arms is GOLD

    I've been really interested in this game since I watched that video you have posed above. Looks like it will be a lot of fun. I remember wishing Call of Duty was more like that when I was playing it.

    Notepad screwed up?

    I am guessing you are using Lucida Console, which I believe is the default. The 'l' looks like what you described in that font. Switch to a different font and see what you get (Format > Font).
