  1. 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.

  2. At that price, get two!

     

     

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. For me it would be Battlestar Galactica (the new series)!

     

     

    BSG isn't too bad, wish they would stop with the drama stuff though. I want to see things blow up! :lol:

     

    Haven't seen Firefly/Serenity and Battlestar Galactica though.

     

     

    Rent a copy of Serenity. NOW :P

  6. well i googled for about a half hr and came up with absolutely nothing!

    we discussed it in school today and i she told us all to bring in proof of what we thought it was, chemical or physicle change.

    thanks :D

     

     

    Wow.

     

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

  7. 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.

  8. uhhh yeah, mercury, bromine, hydrogen, oxygen, gallium, there are many liquids that are "waterless". Just look at the periodic table.

     

    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.

     

     

    not to bash you, but if you were trying to be clever and ask a hypothetical question, you failed horribly.

     

     

    I'm afraid I'll have to agree.

  9. so hold the button in after the computer is unplugged? that doesnt make too much sense..

     

     

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

  10. This is a good topic. not meaning to hijack or anything, but i have 768 ram, and a 2 gb processor. 28 services load and run at start up. my computer is clean as a whistle for spyware and virus', but i have a REALLY slow start up. im really not sure why. so i just dont turn off the computer for the most part. any suggestions other than disabling services and checking for spyware?

     

     

    Great article on Start-up/Boot Times
