  1. I've been switching over all of my soundtracks from MP3 to Ogg Vorbis lately because of how much better the sound quality is, and how the file size is nearly the same as, if not smaller, then the original MP3 file (and this is with a higher bit rate too!). Only problem is, I need some way to tag them, since Foobar recognizes all of them under the same album, which makes it hard to find different soundtracks. I've found a few on Google, but I would like your opinion as to which one I should use.

  2. Isn't it just called Gear? To be honest, I'm from the US and I'm not impressed by the commercials. I'd rather watch the British version, even if they take one too many shots at Americans being fat.

    They are calling it TopGear fully. I don't find the commercials too impressive either, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it is as good as they say it is.

  3. I think C# is awesome, because it hasn't got the downsides of C/C++ (pointers, malloc, and so on), and has great things (WPF, LINQ, and others). Once you get used to Lists and their LINQ extension methods, it's hard to use arrays again :P

    I hate scripting languages - I know a little bit of JS but all those vars with no type are really ugly...

    I know a little C# myself, but I'm trying to fully learn it at the moment. Unfortunately, Microsoft's default programs for doing this are much too expensive. Any suggestions?

  4. Meh, I don't see the point of that video anyway. If you don't like a program, then don't use it. Especially considering that OpenOffice is completely free. If you want to shell out a few hundred bucks on MS Office, then do it.

  5. Notice how the program in the screenshot for AVG's new system tune-up utility, looks EXACTLY like Auslogics Boostspeed: http://store.v3.co.uk/p13899-avg_pc_tuneup_2011_1-pc. Don't they have anything better to do other than copy a perfectly good program and run it off as their own? <_<

     

    Also, compare the descriptions of both programs:

     

    AVG: http://www.avg.com/ww-en/avg-pctuneup#tba1

    Auslogics: http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/boost-speed/

     

    Notice how alike they both look? :rolleyes:

     

    Here's a quick screenshot comparison:

  6. Thanks Tasgandy. Turns out the old ship wallpapers are all smaller than what my resolutions are, so they look pretty blurry when I put them on my computers. However, I did find one wallpaper that I really quite liked:

    Quite a funny image, especially the facial expressions of the sheep. :lol:

  7. I'm getting bored of desktop icons now. Are there any good free docks out there that aren't too resource intensive? I need it to be able to run on this Win XP comp. Anything is fine for my other comp, so any suggestion as to a good dock would be good.

  8. Haven't even noticed the forum was down. Hmm... Dennis, have you been using mind control on me? :huh:

     

    Oh my goodness, and I loaned him my lucky screwdriver. He did say he was only going to fix something.:o

     

     

     

    Remember, it's an eBook!:lol:

     

    OMG! You changed your avatar! Is this the first time in a few years? :o

  9. Why is it that so many people manage to argue over Windows XP and Windows 7 in any topic? If someone uses Windows XP deal with it. If someone uses Windows 7, then also deal with it. It's everyone's personal choice what they want to do, and arguing won't change anything. B)

  10. I read a post on AskVG the other day about a program named QTTabBar that was once abandoned, and is now back in development. It seems like a great program, and on SourceForge, it hasn't received any negative reviews/ratings. I'm wondering if anyone has tried out this new version, because I'm thinking of trying it out myself.

  11. Hi, I don't have anything but a default wallpaper and default Windows Aero because I spend my time in apps not the desktop. But anyway, with my latest toy, which I gave the hostname Bizmark, some of you might get a kick out of the hardware. I've got 16 logical processors running at 4GHZ, three Nvidia GTX 480s in tri sli which gives me a total of 1440 CUDA processing GPU cores, a RAID 5 array for my online storage and a 240GB SSD for boot. I have 12GB of registered ECC RAM, with chipkill protection and background scrubbing of soft errors.
