Nope. But, here's a BIG spoiler... Starbuck's a WOMAN in this new series! About real Starbuck spoilers there's only one in the premiere... and, it's a revelation that I saw coming about a year and a half ago. If one just keeps their eyes open and remembers past plot points. HA! I loved it! The Doctor introducing himself as a former companion! Sweet! And one that, plus, had had his mind supposedly wiped of his time with the Doctor to boot!

Now, did me ears deceive me or did the Doctor introduce himself as Dr. James McCrimmon at the start of Tooth And Claw!?

In all fairness, I did not test Firefox extensions with it. I know from my past testing that the .X whatever extension of the files automatically opened in Netscape when double clicked, because Netscape was last installed after Firefox had been. So, they may actually work. But, if they did, why didn't the Extensions page for Netscape just link to the Firefox one?

Now this just BOGGLES the mind...! I never noticed this in the update to Netscape, 8.1, that was released 10 months ago... and the reason why makes it obvious. Install or update to Netscape 8.1 or 81.2, the current update, and check out its About screen. There, it openly states: "Netscape 8.1x BASED ON FIREFOX!" Now, Netscape had been based on Mozilla for, well, forever. BUT now it is openly copying Firefox instead of trying to make something of itself? It's even copying the Extensions, except there are currently no Extensions for it. Why? If it's based on Firefox, then, the Extensions NOT working for it are just typical fucker regressing. I guess Netscape is now in its 2nd death throes. At least if it has to copy something, it's working off of something that had worked well at one point. But, why copy it at a point when Firefox seems to be getting worse? Also, why bother with Netscape as an alternate browser anymore? If it just copies Firefox and is sitting around waiting to implement things Firefox already has and can't work in Netscape, what's the point?

I call's them as I see them... or, in my case, can't... uh...

I guess you've never seen Doctor Who?

Oh, a line like that writes its own gags!

Episodes I have seen, but, not JUST the only ones I have thus far. The Christmas Invasion New Earth School Reunion Rise Of The Cybermen The Age Of Steel Army Of Ghosts Doomsday And, oh, is the end of this season an absolute cracker! I am glad they've coupled new Who with new Galactica. Before they were pairing new Who with old Galactica.

Oh, yeah, always COULD be. One of the things that makes life's failures more painful in the end. But, Sony's track record with the Playstation going to PS2 doesn't bode well. My original Playstation had to have its entire motor/laser assembly replaced in 2000. By late 2003, it needed it replaced again. My PS2 also has already needed 1 motor/laser assembly replaced, too.

Yeah, Sony tends to have good ideas, but, lousy execution. Such as their choice of hardware in the PS2.

I remember having high hopes for DVD-R DL. THEN they started releasing the specs and the fixes layer break position and I knew things were starting to look bad. As for one unanswered question CDB is CaliBration Database, isn't it? Mostly, it's a bullshit error. The kind where the "cause" is that they are errors difficult to specify a cause for. Most of the times the problem is in the System type of technical support database replies. It's a Power Calibration error, isn't it? That, basically, at some point, somewhere, the PC and the drive could not keep up with the data. One got behind or ahead of the other. Thus, when a field was gone to be read, there was nothing there, and, expecting something to be there, the system didn't know what to do because it had never been told what to do in that case.

Well, over in the UK, everyone lives in police boxes. So, they're bigger on the inside than outside, so, these kinds of questions might be moot.

I was a tad bit worried that Davies brought back Cassandra. It seems he's too keen to return to characters of his too soon. The Slitheen first and now the Lady Cassandra. I am not entirely sure I buy how she came back. The cat people as common, everyday hospital workers was a nice touch. I remember when seeing them in previews before I saw Tooth And Claw, I thought they were a part of it. Technically, they weren't really zombies. "A planet ruled by zombies?" They weren't dead, after all. Merely, they had every infection known to man... which begs the question. How, exactly, if they had every known disease... WHY are they only INFECTIOUS by touching? Surely, breathing the same air they're breating into would mean they're also passing air born diseases, IF they have every sickness known to man. A bit fluff, I will grant you that, but, it wasn't that bad. For once, it takes the overused running down corridors idea and makes it more "believable." Even adding in running down stairs, jumping onto elevator cables, etc.

Thanks for the reg key. I've got a feeling I'll need to actually edit the registry on this one, but, I'll try MSCONFIG and TWEAKUI, since I've got those on hand ALL the time.

Actually, there's very little I'VE broken. It's always something else breaking it BEFORE I could get to it. Seriously, I rarely break this shit. It's always some other fucker who's done it, and I have to clean up their goddamn mess.

Well, I must have some brains... I don't use MSN! Anyway, I'd probably just use PM to ask you and then maybe get an e-mail address from there if I did ask. And then from there, Spam you claiming that I met you on adultfriendfinder and wanted to chat with you some more, but, you needed to first check out my fake blog. Which is locked down with age verification because I am so naughty, which requires a credit card number, just to check your age and are thus over 18, of course...

He hasn't made things any easier for himself or his party. He thought he was doing damage control when he came out and said he was molested by a clergyman and that he was gay on top of that! Supposedly, the guy was also exchanging these e-mails/engaging in cybersex with the page DURING a session of Congress!

It also seems to depend on the player. On some, I've seen no indication of the layer break. But, the Playstation 2, proving yet again, as if it needed any, that it's a pretty shitty player all but stops the DVD to play a little tune: "HERE'S THE BREAK!"

I've got some weird error text, etc. in the Registry for the options under Autoplay for one of my optical drives. And only one. The others don't have it. There are two entries with strange, random text, like black rectangles, etc. Even a strange option with no icon to play the disc inserted into the DVD drive with "Google." So, where are the list of these autoplay programs stored so I can go in there and edit them? Thanks!

I'm glad you know what you're doing, anyway. I don't think I'll ever be able to straighten out this mess of a standard. I've been hacking away at it, bits and pieces for 4 years now. And, I'm only just like within the last year creating my own from scratch and trying to best control how the DVD behaves. i.e. I want it to do it "my" way. Maybe, at least, I can pick your... brain... yeah, brain... on down the line.

Eventually, they'll just cut out the middle man and make the implants forced. By law, you have to have your eyes replaced with transmitter/receivers. And, you'd need to get them anyway because they'd make sure that the only way you can view movies is by having them beamed directly into your cerebellum. Yes, one day, the implants will be manditory. Just like the injections.

That's what he said!

Uh... I kind of gathered that. What is GoUp, though? From what I read, it acts as a Resume. Which is one of the reasons why I don't use diable PUO's globally if a program offers them. I've discovered some nasty things tend to happen regarding menu streams if their VOB's follow, say, the VOB's of a main feature. WB's episodic DVD's are like that. The WB logo that plays at the start of a disc is often times shoved between the main feature VOB's and the menu VOB's. So, if the PUO's are removed, pressing Next in the last chapter of the last episode will load the WB logo. And, because it wasn't expected to be called at that point, all kinds of registers, etc. aren't properly set, and the menus go berserk. I tend to leave the PUO's alone and selectively remove the ones I need.

Well, the easiest way to do that is just replace them with a 1 second blank VOB. It accomplishes the same thing but doesn't force too many messy changes. Just change it to call 1 second blank VOB.

Need someone with some experience in editing IFO's, etc. or PUO's in general. I'd like to know what some of these strange acronyms mean. In particular, what buttons on the DVD remotes they equate to. Thanks! TopPG or PrevPG Search - I've seen a couple of different versions of this in Google, depending on the editing software the hit found. So, sometimes, it's been called Top or Prev program search. Would this be Title/DVD Menu/Top Menu button? NextPG Search - Next program search. I am guessing this disables the Next button? GoUp - This SEEMS to be the Resume? Is it?
