Are you just being cheeky or is the image I inserted into my last post not showing up?

That's what it was. The Top button had become replaced with the Slysoft fox logo.

See what I see? I am guessing this is another case like my Smilie that was replaced by a King Of The Hill image of Bobby kicking someone in the groin. So, will test clearing my cache.

Do we now suddenly have the Slysoft logo appearing under each post on the left side? And, if so, why? It seems to be a link to a Javascript to do something that does nothing.

WHAT?!

Aw, man! I'd not heard of this yet! I was still recovering from the loss of Joe Barbera! :cry: I loved Over And Over. "She would a'wait and a'wait and a'wait and a'wait for her steady date. SHE would a'wait and a'wait and a'wait and a'wait for her steady date. SHE would a'wait and a'wait and a'wait and a'wait for her steady date. Ah ooom! Ah ooom! Ah ooom! Ah ooom!" There's just something about the Ah ooom!" that makes you want to sing along. You know it's there, you know it's coming, and, you wait for it.

Title says it all. Any suggestions welcome. Have already tried VideoLan/VLC Player. Thanks!

Tonight's Dr. Demento Show added another yule classic: You Ain't Gettin' Shit For Christmas! By Red Peters You know, they say Christmas is a time for givin' at least that's what the Good Book says. And, at our house every Christmas Eve, our son and daughter and their families always drive down from the big city for an old-fashioned family holiday. Heck, Ma dresses up the house like a Christmas sky. You can hear her in the kitchen singin' while she's bakin' cookies for the children, and she spends hours wrappin' the presents. She's been buyin' since last August! She hangs all the stockings all over the fireplace. And the morning of, I cut me down the prettiest Christmas tree you ever saw in your life! This year, we really outdid ourselves! Ma and I are gettin' on in our years, so we decided to give the kids tax-free cash gifts of $10,000 each! Well, I reckon it was around noon when I heard the dog barkin'. It was Jim the mailman in his old Santa cap, coming up the walk, teasin' the dogs, as usual, holdin' a package. While he was headed over he said, "Pappy, looks like you got an old package from your daughter." Well, Ma tore it open and to both our horrors we unwrapped a fruitcake and a note that read: "Hello, Mom and Dad; At the last minute we got a cheap fare on the Internet and went to Hawaii! Hold on to our gifts 'til after the first of the year! Love, Princess!" Well, Ma's heart was broken and I felt a lump in my throat as I thought to myself: CHORUS: You ain't gettin' shit for Christmas! You can shove that fruitcake up your ass! You ain't gettin' shit! No, you ain't gettin' dick! You ain't gettin' shit for Christmas! Well, you know, Ma hasn't had a drink in 20 years, and I, I've been off the sauce myself for awhile now, and heck, if there was ever an excuse to start drinkin' again... SFX: Doorbell Who in tarnation could that be?! Junior and his family?! Ah, it was some delivery fella standin' there, holdin' what looked like a fruitcake tin with a card attached! "Pop, the company condo's free this week, and you know how much Pumpkin and I love Hilton Head! Please forward our gifts to this address." SFX: Beer can opening Hey, Ma, save some of that for me! Well, Ma took a conniption and things turned real ugly! She started breakin' things and hurlin' turkey and those two fruitcakes right through the front window and the whole time she was yellin', CHORUS SFX (Playing while Chorus repeats): screams, punches, shouting, breaking glass, objects thrown, wood cracking, crying, machine gun fire, bombs going off, fire truck sirens And to all a good night!

Typical. More of my stupid life. Jumping uselessly through hoops that others don't have to. It seems that the copy command above may be only half the steps. After it created the resulting combined MPG there was something wrong with the key frames or something. The video was mostly lengthened still frames. But, when I loaded the MPG in VirtualDub and used Full Processing Mode to save it to a Divx AVI using the highest quality, 10, preconfiguration option thing, it saved an AVI of the two MPG's merged together that played properly... whatever.

I'm just glad I've found someone who can explain it to me. I know so little about DVD's, it all seems so confusing, and too many places don't want you asking because it's easier to just shut about talking of the internal workings of a DVD than it is to filter out those asking for copying reasons versus someone who wants some knowledge.

Maybe Time-Warner will do better. I've not switched over to RoadRunner yet, but, it sounds like I'll have to. I'm worried most about losing my Usenet bandwidth, though.

Question about seamless layer breaks. How exactly do they work? The layer break has to be present in there, I'm guessing for it to work. That if you IFOEdit the IFO, you'll still find the layer break listed in there. But, how does the player simply not pause at it like before?

The current accepted theory on why yawning is contagious is a psycho-social one. It was observed among dog packs that, in general, one accepted time of evening, on average, was when every member would go to sleep. So, to insure that everyone went to sleep at roughly the same time and each member would be refreshed all at the same time upon morning, the contagious yawning naturally evolved. The first one to get sleepy would yawn and spur on others to do it, eventually all of them becoming sleepy and go to bed at roughly the same time.

I jokingly said it was a hauntingly similar case to the Russian Polonium 210 poisoning.

Let's see. 2 cents converted into GBP DVD+RW pence, that's 2.4 cents.

I wish that elf would keep its sex life to itself, too!

Braggart! Keep your sex life to yourself!

OMG! Just looking at made me OMG! again! Looking at my reply immediately after it posted made me again!

About adjusting the virtual memory. What was, supposedly, the amount of RAM you can have where they say you can turn off virtual memory, for the most part? Or make a really small file. I forget, but, there's a supposed listed amount of RAM where if you have you, you can effectively disable virtual memory. Because, if you have 4 GB, who wants to create a 6 GB swapfile if they can avoid it. For instance, back when I had just the 1 GB, my VM file was 3 GB.

Hmmm, if that was the total listed RAM, i.e. the value that appears in the About thing tab when you right click on My Computer, i.e. where you find the System Restore, Hardware, etc. tabs, then, the use of gibibytes versus gigabytes wouldn't be the case here. If that's a remaining RAM value, i.e. from a MEM result, then, it's because of the results of whatever hardware has seized a chunk of system memory for its own use.

Because people think it's called Images Hack instead of Image Shack.

Now they are saying it wasn't a stroke, heart attack, or anything directly related to the cardiovascular system. Only indirectly. Apparently, Senator Tim Johnson had a congenital birth defect that resulted in abnormally enlarged arteries in his brain. He had bleeding on the brain, basically. And, blood is fatal to the brain, believe it or not. Blood does not directly come into contact with the brain for this reason due to the blood-brain barrier. Nutrients, etc. diffuse, I guess. I'm not an encephalo-expert. Anyway, he has successfully undergone brain surgery, but, was last listed in critical condition. However, it is stable but critical, so, good news where one can find it for his family and friends, right?

It's probably not the free disc space. Those listings for DVD burning are the maximum, worst case scenario. Meaning, if you were making a full DVD+R DL, what it would first do, maybe, is copy all ~9 GB of the target discs's data to the program's temporary directory. Then, it would create the image from those files, effectively, doubling the space to, roughly, ~18 GB, 2 x 9. And, if you didn't have the required free space in a case like this, the burner application wouldn't functioning. Meaning, it would tell you it can't operate due to lack of necessary free space. Unless it's terribly written, which is typical HP.

I never could understand the fascination for slapping balls around with sticks to prevent them knocking over other smaller sticks just for a bowl of some ashes.
