    Is this legal?

    If you don't like the prices that are being charged for various forms of media, then don't give them your business. When large numbers of people start doing this, the corporations supposedly abusing their right to price the product will give in to the market and lower the prices or will go out...

    Fry's HDD deal... Seagate 200GB $108 - 60 rebate

    Saw this deal in the newspaper the other day...picked one up today, might get another tomorrow (if they're open on the 4th? probably not). Awesome deal!

    How can I get a region 3 DVD to work?

    Movies are commonly released in theaters or on DVD on staggered dates according to region for marketing reasons. For example, a movie that is already on DVD in the US may still only be in theaters and be months away from DVD in Europe. Region coding is an annoying mechanism designed to prevent...

    How do I use Azureus?

    Check out the official Azureus User Guide. Google: learn it, live it. Not all Bittorrent sites are illegal!

    Acronis True Image

    Ah...well for your purposes it's not a big deal to have the image on a separate drive. I have an older version of TrueImage so I don't have personal experience with the Secure Zone, but from Acronis' description on their site it sounds like that will accomplish what you want. Is the "hidden"...

    Can You Animate In Adobe Photoshop?

    You can create animated GIFs in Photoshop CS2 without Imageready; the Animation palette is one of its new features. Googling for ".mov to .gif" came up with this as the first result, but it's shareware. Not sure of a free way to do it without doing it frame by frame.

    Acronis True Image

    Is there a specific reason you want to put the image on a separate partition but (I'm assuming) on the same drive? For backup purposes, you should put the image on a different physical drive in case the original crashes. TrueImage creates an image as a single .tib file which you can mount as...

    HD Formatter?

    If you have Linux running on a box (knoppix will work too), the easiest way would be to do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/drive bs=1M drive=hda1, etc. Repeat a few times for security. For Windows, check out DBAN (be careful) or Active@ KillDisk.

    If I install AIM, will I get *-ware???

    Alright...I haven't installed AIM in a long time (GAIM for me :) ) so I don't have first-hand experience but this thread [broadbandreports.com] says the following: 5.2 - no bundled *ware, but it probably has a security flaw 5.5 - *ware installed automatically 5.9 - *ware optional during...

    If I install AIM, will I get *-ware???

    http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ Gaim is the open-source alternative to AIM. It's compatible with AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, IRC, and a few other protocols. It supports most of AIM's features...not sure if there's any left that they haven't implemented. There are some extra features too like...

    A great Picture

    Nice! I especially like the second one, although the fishing pole seems out of place (but that's what Photoshop is for ;) ). The third one is beautiful too, although the cars are distracting...would be even better if taken from the angle of the second photo. Great job with all three!

    New Azureus Version out

    Distributed Hash Table - it's used for the new trackerless torrent feature I'll be waiting a while longer to upgrade - the last version incorrectly reported upload stats to my favorite torrent site and I haven't heard yet about this release.

    any bit torrent clients have these features?

    Azureus has the features you seek plus a whole lot more; it's far more advanced than the client you're using right now. Many people like ABC as well but I haven't tried it, you might want to give it a shot. IIRC there have been some problems with cheater modifications of BitComet (to falsely...

    What's THEE Best Digital Camera Printer?

    By a dedicated printer, I'm assuming you mean a portable-type 4x6" printer since those are the most common...I'd highly recommend the Epson PictureMate. It's $200 and you get a $50 Visa shopping card if you buy it by the end of the year. Extremely easy to use, just select the picture number and...

    Simple Games For The Girlfreind

    Oh really? My gf calls other girls "chicks" all the time, and she's about as pro-women's rights as I've come across :confused: I know a lot of girls who like The Sims 1/2...if she's not into RPGs or FPSs, that's a relatively safe choice. Go for the sequel if her box can handle it.
