    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.

    What is the best Blu Ray Software to consider?

    It seems these guys mostly changed the title of their article with "2012 something". The text is still talking about PowerDVD 10 and CinePlayer BD with 3D. The latter does not even exist anymore according to this review...

    HDMI, audio, and bitstream questions.....

    I agree with Mozex. You can have more than one audio output at a time but only one of them is default (which is normal to be this way). So if you Blu-ray player has the option to select the audio device (and most probably it has) than just use the xfi card as default. If the player can use only...

    What is the best Blu Ray Software to consider?

    If you want one of the fully capable players I think the choice is between PowerDVD and TotalMedia Theatre. It's hard to say which one is better but I think both of them have free tirals so you can choose the more suitable one for yourself.

    Free BluRay player software

    I think digiarty's software is not exactly fraudulent but as far as I've heard they offer low quality products and they have a very aggressive behavior constantly spamming bloggers to write about their software...

    Left Alt + Shift now working properly for changing keyboard layout in IE8

    Hi guys, I have the following problem that appeared a couple of weeks ago. I use Left Alt + Shift to switch between 2 input languages for the keyboard. Everything was fine until recently when this combination stopped changing the keyboard language in IE8. I've found that now I'm able to...

    Blu ray playback software

    There are a couple of free trials listed here http://www.reviewmaze.com/2011/09/free-blu-ray-player-software-region.html but they will probably work for free for about a month only. I also thought that Roxio's player is the cheapest one but I visited there site yesterday and it seems they have...

    Best Blu-Ray player software for PC

    I think TMT works fine with BD 3d. At least according to the articles I've read. What do you mean? The command of English should not depend on the "newbie" status of someone at a particular forum? :)

    Best Blu-Ray player software for PC

    Hi guys, I don't want to start a new topic so I will ask you here. I've read in these blu-ray player reviews http://www.reviewmaze.com/2011/01/windows-blu-ray-player-software.html that both, Powerdvd and Totalmedia Theatre work great as integrated in WMC. Could somebody share a personal...
