    Drowning in spam

    Two hints from me: 1) When you create an email address, choose a name that is not common and that is not in a dicitionary. If you choose melody at gmail.com you will get tons of spam just because of the name. 2) Use more than one email addresses. What I do is to redirect many addresses to a...

    Cyberlink PowerDVD, DIE DIE DIE

    The problem is not only that there are not real free Blu-ray players but also that there are not many commercial ones. You can read about all of them here but your choice is practically not big cause PowerDVD and TotalMedia Theatre are the best options and PowerDVD is updated quite often (there...

    Google Chrome shortcut suddenly no longer opens incognito window

    It happened to me with Skype updates. That's why I thought your problem could be the same. To solve it I disabled Skype updates but I am going to try with a read-only shortcut now. It will probably work too.

    Google Chrome shortcut suddenly no longer opens incognito window

    Could it be due to Chrome's updates? Have you noticed when this happens? Some programs automatically edit their shortcuts after they've updated themselves.

    Going to Console

    If you are not going to use the built-in monitor speakers then you could probably use a DVI cable for the PC instead of a second HDMI (if you already do not have an additional one).

    The definitive (ish) video watching/editing/encoding thread.

    Who has said something about spyware?? Ok, you are the knowledgeable guy. Now search the Internet and see that pretty much every discussion about Digiarty's or other "free" Blu-ray player software actually ends with the conclusion that these are not fully capable Blu-ray players. So, let me be...

    What if you can learn programming languages faster?

    If you are good in programming in general and already know several languages (preferably of different types) I think a month is more than enough to become quite good in every other language. The problem, eventually, is not the language itself but the technologies related to it. For example...

    The definitive (ish) video watching/editing/encoding thread.

    Did you try it? You'll be the first person I find claiming it actually works for Blu-ray playback... I checked their site again. Here is what I read: "Play Bluray from hard disk backup files and virtual driver." Their software is not a fully capable Blu-ray player. I didn't try it so I could be...

    Hosting research question

    Most of the sites (if not all) that offer reviews will be biased cause they are affiliated with particular hosting providers. You can read through some forums but this information is also biased although not so much. A good thing is most of the providers offers trial periods so you can try...

    Forum software, advertising, and search engines?

    @officer921 I pretty much agree with Thuleman. Your forum is most probably doomed since its birth. As for paid advertising, you can actually bring in a lot of traffic with it but you will have to pay big money. The more important thing is that a forum basically needs returning visitors and...

    The definitive (ish) video watching/editing/encoding thread.

    @aoommen The reason because of which Microsoft do not support Blu-ray playback in their Media Player is quite simple (look here). There are license fees required for every piece of software, hardware, media or whatever related to Blu-ray technology. So, having in mind that probably not every...

    Strategy games are so boring. How do you fans stand it?

    I think the main reason people to like strategy games and classic adventures games is that they could put some thinking in the gaming experience. Not everyone wants to do it so it's really a personal preference. Probably these group of people are different in real life too.

    looking for games for my father

    HoMM3 is a good option and if he is into campaigns then HoMM2 is even a better option. I think the best campaigns in the series were that of HoMM2 and its expansion.

    MP3 cd burning software

    Roxio Creator could be an option. I haven't used the most recent versions though. I think Corel owns Roxio now.

    Help a Brotha Out: Crysis Edition

    You can try to create empty files with these names although there is not a gurantee this will work, depends on what the patcher checks exactly.
