    RIAA Wins Big in LimeWire Lawsuit

    So, I have a question. If the RIAA wins and gets the $150,000 for each infraction doesn't this mean that they cannot sue the individuals who downloaded the files? I know it's not technically double-dipping but you would think they would not be able to do this.:confused:

    The Five Stages of Data Loss Grief

    For my pictures (I don't have as many as some of you) I keep them on a usb stick attached to my car keys. Most of the time they are off-site and in the event of a fire they are right next to the front door and I'd probably grab them on the way out.

    Food Fight: Greenpeace Invades Nestle’s Facebook Page

    Seriously. Someone I work with supports both Greenpeace and PETA and the amount of time they spend in their imaginary world of rainbow farting unicorns is frightening. Reasoning with her is impossible.

    No Audio with VOB in WMC

    Yeah, installing the AC3 codec didn't help. What app would I use to convert the VOB's to ISO?

    No Audio with VOB in WMC

    Is it because the codec is built into VLC but not WMC? Kind of a n00b here. :p

    No Audio with VOB in WMC

    Devil- I used DVD Shrink to rip them to my hard drive. Ended up with video_ts and audio_ts folders. delvryboy- I can give it a try tonight but since they work in VLC I didn't think it was a codec issue.

    No Audio with VOB in WMC

    So I just finished backing up a few of my DVDs, opened up WMC in Vista64 and started playing one as a test. Video is fine but for some reason there is no audio at all. I can hear sounds from WMC itself (like the menu sounds) but nothing from the movie. I checked all the volume controls (those...

    BF2 Alternative

    So I'm learning.:( Not that I'm complaining though. While it's a bit dated I still enjoy the game. It's just that in it's prime there were hundreds of servers with 50+ players on there. It's dwindled down to about 100 now and was hoping the players had migrated to something similar.

    BF2 Alternative

    This may sound silly but what I really like is the whole top-down structure. Assuming you are on a good server with good players I love it when the commander is doing his/her job, giving orders to squal leaders who then in turn have their sqaud members act out on those orders. To me it gives a...

    BF2 Alternative

    Well, I do have quite a few of these games to catch up on so I'll give TF2 a try. I forsee myself lining Valve's pockets nicely once I install Steam tonight...:p I should probably have revised my OP as the more I think about it the more I realize that I am probably just looking for good a...

    BF2 Alternative

    mmmm, granade spam.... I've got 2142 and played it a bit but I'm more into modern-ish combat. I spent a lot of time on the MoH series and kind of grew a bit bored with the WWII era. I am assuming that there is no release date for BF3. Any idea when BC2 will be out? One other question...

    BF2 Alternative

    Fairly simple question. I have gotten back into playing BF2 recently after being tied up in WoW for a while. I was wondering what newer games out there compare. The two main things I'm looking for are squad combat and BF2 sized maps (meaning 50-60 players). COD:MW2 looked good but I really...

    Camera Control Software?

    I hope this is the right forum for this but I was wondering if there is any sort of software to control my camera's functions with a PC. I have seen some older software around, Win95/98 days, but nothing newer that would support my camera, Fuji Finepix S5200. Thanks in advance! :)

    Starting World Of Warcraft!

    One thing to add here is that you don't get caught up in leveling your professions too fast. Leatherworking and Alchemy are probably these easiest, and cheapest, as long as you have skinning or herbalism. Enchanting and Jewelcrafting can get quite expensive and those two are usually a good...

    It should be in the options under "Interface". Not at home atm so I can't check to be certain.

    Starting World Of Warcraft!

    There is a thin bar above the default action bar at the bottom of the screen. There is also an option in the settings to display the exact amount you have/needed for the next level.

    Switching Between Displays

    Oh well. :( I have it set to extended desktop but I cannot move my mouse off the side of the screen when the game is in full screen. I'll give the windowed mode a try tonight. BTW, is there any preformance decrease by running in windowed mode?

    Switching Between Displays

    I'd rather not to be honest. I tried looking for help on nVidias site and came up with nothing useful and as far as I can tell there is no documentation included with the software.

    Neverwinter Nights 2

    As others have said, outside of the D&D rules and the setting they are not all that similar. It was a decent game by itself, but compared to the original it left some things to be desired. I played it recently on my rig below and it's runs pretty well. The patches really helped. The worst...
