Okay, I give. What exactly is Vegemite?

Many, many years ago when I was 23, I married me a widow who was as pretty as could be. And, about as long ago as that there was something in the ancient flavors of Windows called, I believe Macro Creator. Or something to that effect. Anyway, one of the ancillary tasks this thing could also do is create .AVI's of user actions on the screen. Thus, one could create a demonstration of how to use a software feature by running this capture program and using the application. Then, the AVI would play back the video of everything that happened on the screen. Mouse movements, button selects, typed in text, etc. Is there anything like this currently available for Windows XP? Preferably free. Thanks!

If? You have to be a little more optomistic about the future!

I was thinking about possibly adding something to those Copy Field buttons in the Labels tab in Build mode. You know how when a create job is started and ImgBurn says it notices no label was added and if the user should add and if it should use the one it chooses based on the contents? I was thinking of adding a check to the Copy Field buttons. That if they're pressed and the label field is blank, i.e. the user hasn't entered anything, to make a call to this same function that the build does. The automatic name generation could then be based on the last "Calculate" or to run a Calculate automatically to determine the files added at that point when the Copy Field button was pressed to get the automatically generated label contents.

Why not try the idea of stacking cups in unique pyramids for time and precision? http://www.worldsportstackingassociation.org/

One thing I see Torchwood working well with, IF they go route, is to remember the origins they set up for it. To give the series a sort of version of Daleks for themselves. A main enemy to fight, but, not to make every episode about them. And, that would be to remember the werewolf strain that has infected the Royal Family. So, have the odd outbreak of Lycans here and there to have to mop up. Otherwise, I have to be honest, I don't really see that much reason for the series beyond shock value, purient content, etc. Of course, I haven't seen an episode yet so, I can't comment on the final product. But, what they've said about Torchwood over the year has me a bt worried about how the product could go. I am intrigued by this idea, though, of a kiddie's series for K-9 and Sarah. Pit K-9 against the Daleks!

Don't know; never had to remove one before. But, the premise sounds the same. And it's a sound premise, too. That you always go in the direction of entry with any kind of not flat surface.

Last I remember of Snazz he had gotten pissed over at too many wanker posters coming over here, said he was leaving, and he did.

Well, I've actually had some luck using the MS-DOS COPY command with its + switch for .AVI's into one .AVI that still plays. Of course, this is dependent on how the .AVI's were authored. COPY 1.AVI + 2.AVI 3.AVI

I'm not surpised at all. I always Verify. Because, you never know when that one burn will burn but fail to verify. And, you'll be glad you had it done when it does. However, by the same token, I've seen burns that burn and verify and still failed for whatever reason. For instance, a burn can complete and be just fine, but, if the contents weren't created right for whatever reason, the disc may not be "good."

I never realized it when I made that comment! It would be perfect Torchwood fodder! Here in the US, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim kind of plays loose with the words. One week on Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex - 2nd Gig (I swear, that show must hold the record for longest title.) Batou says, "SHIT!" completely unbleeped when a suicide bomber detonates himself inside their helicopter. The next week, he's bleeped for saying the same word... but, to make up for it, the next week, he's allowed to say it TWICE in the same episode! Of course, this is the same network that allowed him to say prick last year! And then again in this year's finale. You know you're dealing with a finely tuned mind who gets to say things like, "Hey, you're that prick!"

And, remember, you're only as old as the pain feels.

The way I see it, it's not going to matter. You're going to HAVE to install it at one point because Big Brother Bill wants you to and will make sure something happens to make you. Oh, and, how convenient, that Microsoft's little every 2 weeks e-mail thing just happens to come out and just happens to state, out of the gate, that IE 7 is out.

On his 43rd birthday, Corny rolled over and started whispering these sweet nothings into his wife's ear: "Not tonight, love. I have a headache."

Wow... just amazing... Wednesday, in Florida, an 81 year old man was apparently stabbed in the chest by a stingray... OUT of the water! It seems that a boat struck a stingray in the water, flinging it out of the water and onto the chest of a man on the boat. The stinger also stabbed him, yep, you guessed it, right in the heart! Steve Irwin may be able to rest better knowing that his unfortunate accident might very well have saved another man's life. This victim did not remove the stinger, waiting for medical help to do so. Now, whether the victim here did that for the reasons that he knew killed Irwin cannot be said yet. If ever. But, by leaving the stinger in his heart for medical personel to surgically removed, it saved his life. They went in and pushed the stinger out by basically continuing the same direction of penetration. By pushing from the opposite direction of Irwin, i.e. by not pulling out the stinger put pushing it on the rest of the way through and out the opposite end of the heat, it prevented the stinger's barbs from latching onto flesh and pulling out any tissue. This reduced the amount of damage to the heart, which was also clean breaks in the tissue and far easier to repair, which was what fatally wounded Irwin.

Yet, there is actually a city in Onatario, Canada called Swastika.

Bollocks Of The Daleks - Episode 1! Well, the do have all those balls on their bases.

For anyone who is a glutton for punishment, the final build of Internet Explorer 7 is apparently available. But not from WindowsUpdate just yet. It must be downloaded from Microsoft's IE site.

Yes, the Doctor has stated he's 400, 750, and over 900 years old, depending on the writer. The Master thing in Five Doctors is a valid point. However, it could also be written off as just something that CAN be done but necessarily isn't. e.g. a sort of "for the rich only" status. Hence, only the President and the higher ups can offer access to the technology. Although, it seems to be relatively to easy to get, since the Master, himself, gave himself a new regeneration without anyone's aid.

Cracked a darky? In this country that means... well, can't really say what that means. What's it mean there?

Anyone else who uses/is familiar with Panasonic's DMR line of stand alone DVD recorders is welcome to chime in if there's an answer to this. I was wondering if there's any way to read in the information of unfinalized/non-closed session DVD-R's (Or DVD-RW's on some models.) without finalizing them. i.e. take an unfinalized DVD-R/RW to a PC and read in its data without finalizing the disc? Saves time, if possible, to do it that way. Otherwise, with -RW, it can be read it, finalized, and then read on the PC. DVD-RAM is different because it uses .VRO which can be read in, but, only by a select few applications, and hardly any of them read the stuff in correctly. Thanks!

Yeah, it could always be worse. In Germany, it is a criminal offense to just even say the words hail victory. Say "Sieg heil" and you'll get 3 years in prison. Just for saying some words!

Now, here's the weird thing. The instructions for the Bellamy salute actually seem to indicate that you are supposed to have your palms up, as if you're lifting the flag by sheer force of will, radiated out from your upward palm. Also, it seems that it really did start with the hand over the heart, and then went into the other gestures. "Begun with the right hand over the heart during the phrase 'I pledge allegiance.' The arm is then extended toward the flag at the phrase "to the flag" and remains outstretched during the rest of the pledge, with the palm facing upward." Other versions also also began with the right hand in a military salute of some kind. There doesn't seem to be any solid, consistent information... probably because the real answers don't look nice. Because in that photo above, it is obvious that the palm is facing down, not lifting the flag, and thus, is a Roman/Nazi salute.

You something else that's kind of scary? Is how the salute has also been adopted by Hezbollah...

This makes me wonder. Is there an equivalent of the Pledge Of Allegience to the flag of the United States of America in England? Is there a daily morning ceremony where kids in Britain in school have to go through with the British flag? Part of A Levels? If so, what's it called and what are the words? I've always been a little uneasy about the Pledge. I'm not against it, but, I just find it a tad confusing. It seems a bit hypocritical to go through a sort of memorized Catholic mass type of procedure every morning to pledge your allegience to the government when you're given the freedom, supposedly, to do what you want. I mean, it's a sort of indoctrination. However, it's not forced to do, so, that's why I don't have a problem. But, just try NOT saying it. You'll be so ostricized by teachers and other students you might as well do it. And, of course, my merely discussing topics of debate like this in today's current political and ruling environment in my country makes me a target as a traitorous anti-American giving aid and comfort to the enemy, obviously.
