You can use VLC player to play them - it's open source and a very good program. For all-in-one codecs, K-Lite is probably the best one that you can get - it'll play everything. Note however, all-in-one codecs are technically illegal - they violate copyright laws.

Can you post a little more information? Motherboard type/make, interface, OS, etc.? There can be some problems when you replace an integrated one with a newer graphics card.

No kidding. Though at the time I was more interested in a good CPU/Mobo combo... relatively cheap ECS AM2/PCIE mobo with an AMD X2 4200+... I know ECS really sucks, but they're dirt cheap, and the CPU is worth the price of $180 by itself.

Well, you can never truly believe what you've seen on the internet, because it hasn't been reviewed/authenticated. I do know that the Costa Rican stone balls do exist, they've been found in numerous places around South America, but that is the only 'mystery' I've heard of in that list.

I don't want to say "So true," but still...

GMail only allows attachments of 10 megs. You could use AMD Live's free Media Vault, and you can store 25 gigs worth online. Only disadvantage is that you are only allowed 1 gig of bandwith a month for the free version. Fry's was selling a 500 gigabyte HITACHI 7200RPM, UltraDMA 16mb etc. etc. hard drive for only $150USD. Buy a good, cheap hard drive like that.

BSG isn't too bad, wish they would stop with the drama stuff though. I want to see things blow up! Rent a copy of Serenity. NOW

Wow. First result answered the question, Yahoo!, MSN, Google...

Firefly/Serenity is probably the best Sci-Fi/Action/any other genre of show I've ever seen. Stargate SG-1 is a close second. Season 1-6, that is. Star Wars third. Star Trek... fourth?

I like GAIM, the 2.0 beta. The only gripes I have with GAIM is the interface can be kind of clunky at times. IM Windows, for example. Tabbed windows are great, but why do the tabs have to be half (exaggeration, more like 1/6) the size of the window?

With the Windows Defragging tool, it's normal to have a few unmovable files; those are usually ones that are in use/can't be moved. Your computer should be fine, a few files here and there won't make much of a difference.

I'm 16, turning 17 in the school year so that would make me 11th grade (or a Junior)

I likee this one better Why not just set up Tor or something?

My anti-spyware: 1. Firefox. 2. Common sense.

I've been using it for at least a year. PM me for my e-mail, since my forum one is fake

Mercury, sure. Some of the others are gases, and can be turned into liquids but most require pressure/very cold temperatures. Mercury is the quickest example. I'm afraid I'll have to agree.

WinRAR is great and it's free, too.

No way LOL

Apparently under the "Free Arts License" the music is free... no idea how, but still! Free music!

C2D and C2E have been out for at least a month already AMD is actually working on a chip where there are multiple cores combined to function as one super-fast core.

That will complete the circuit and allow the electricity to discharge; same with unplugging the power.

Great article on Start-up/Boot Times
