    Converting widescreen to prehistoric TV

    I usually just convert directly to the target aspect ratio, although I don't have a lot of experience cropping stuff down :)

    Converting widescreen to prehistoric TV

    You want use the cropping feature under the filters before you resize the movie. Unfortunately this solution is just about as bad as the others you have already attempted. While the action will usually be in the center of the frame, you might end up cropping some of it. I prefer to watch...

    Remove Linux dual boot

    On second thought.... I recommend GParted over Partition Magic. BTW I forgot to mention it above, the Recovery Console is a feature on the XP CD, I assume MCE has it too.

    Remove Linux dual boot

    You can use something like partition magic to remove the linux partition(s) and probably even merge it into your ntfs partition. Then to get rid of grub/lilo you just have to boot into the recovery console and use fixmbr and maybe fixboot.

    wtf firefox

    I can... Tabbrowser Preferences add-on turns this functionality on by default... its a great add-on as well... just moves a lot of those "about:config" options into the UI. Hope this helps :) edit: I REALLY wish that the Mozilla Team would move this extension into Firefox... I think...

    Questions about Windows Vista

    Found Switch for Windows Vista which was exactly what I wanted to replace Flip3d! :), saw another named smartflip but it wasn't much better then what came with Vista. Guess I'll wait for SP1 to see if it responds faster after sleep... :(, luckily shouldn't be too much longer to find out...

    Questions about Windows Vista

    Well I solved one problem, tried installing the clear type power tool for XP... which appears to work. Text now looks a lot better. :) One additional question... how do I change the name of my "Documents" folder on the desktop?

    Questions about Windows Vista

    So.... I finally bought a new laptop... which is a HP Compaq 6910p :)... Onto which I re-installed Vista x86_64 using vLite using HP's kindly provided recovery DVD(Real OEM Vista + OEM Activation! :))... with full hardware support, I was even able to track down the x64 driver for my Fast IRDA...

    Anything better than MS Outlook?

    I use Mozilla Thunderbird with the Lightning and MinimizeToTray Extensions... better is subjective though.

    so i want to "learn" linux

    If your going to do Linux from Scratch... do yourself a favor and don't do it with bleeding edge hardware like me... I got through it... but it probably wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been :) BTW if you run into trouble getting something to work... the Gentoo forum is a great place to...

    Cable Co's, Media Center and HD

    I continue to fault them for their choice of DRM since the competition from the disk formats isn't anywhere as close to as bad. I believe that they don't want anything to inter-operate outside of their platform, and since they were forced to "allow" this kind of support they made it as terrible...

    Microsoft .NET framework 3.0

    That and the ability to execute potentially exploitable code.... while a low risk, it still is one... which is why you should only install it if you need it....

    How do I make XP the default at startup?

    OMG I hate bcdedit... was it really required to make a boot loader so ridiculous cryptic? Anyways, its much faster to try Vista Boot Pro First, I simply installed it once, copied the program to my flash drive and can quickly work with the boot loader on any Vista system. I prefer the command...

    Is that all there is to setting up an AD domain?

    Hmmm I still probably wouldn't consider it for most of my tasks but that is cool, its limited to 1 server per domain right?
  18. B

    Is that all there is to setting up an AD domain?

    I am not sure, I have setup several test domains, fully configured, never had any issues. I have never used Small Business Server but apparently they make it easier to setup, which I am not sure how.... o well, maybe people just have low thresholds for challenge.

    Is VPN Right For Me?

    XDMCP Server, google it :) Cygwin/X clients on Windows Linux clients have everything they should need A) Setup X11 TCP/IP Port Forwarding and open SSH in firewall... or B) Require VPN for access. Or do A and B. I am assuming these are not web apps and you want a terminal server. #2 I...

    Creative's offerings

    Unless Alchemy will work with "any" openAL card.... although I doubt other vendors that supported openAL in the future would be allowed to ship Alchemy. Though if it does, gamers will sure find a way.

    Creative's offerings

    You make the mistake of thinking that openAL has anything to do with Microsoft... it is Creative's Open Source Cross-Platform API for hardware 2D and 3D sound acceleration that does not rely on directsound or direct3d. It will be passed directly onto the hardware and will not go through Vista's...

    Any better alternative to Creative sound cards?

    How is this creative FUD when they are the only ones who support openAL and EAX 3-5?... it may be an inconvenient fact but it is still true. It is also one of the most powerful hardware accelerated cards, if 5 fps matters to you. If another vendor invests the money to create a hardware...

    Creative's offerings

    Vista drivers work fine IMHO, THX Console (Sub redirection required imho) seems to work in 64 bit mode, so between that and the X-Fi console I had all features working.

    Ballmer repeats threats against Linux

    Of course... necessary evil... if Microsoft had all the patents how do you defend yourself? That was a very silly response stash. Just because the system is broken doesn't mean the system will fix itself or protect you from its flaws. Also why I mentioned the legal ****** storm... Which Linux...

    Ballmer repeats threats against Linux

    I wonder if someone can just get this legal skirmish to go into a full blown war and kill software patents forever... I am sure Linux vendors could band together and sue Microsoft for slander or something. For that is what this truly is, they most likely have no patents that would hold up to...

    whats your record uptime for a windows XP desktop?

    My Beyond TV server only restarts for power failures :), The server is rock solid, the client has only recently become as stable. BTW I upgraded to 4.6 for Vista(Client), just as stable and no wierd divx issues yet, as with some "other" versions of 4. I still want to convert to a HDTV Mythbox...

    Quick Vista "User Account Control" Question

    I wait since that is all I am allowed to do really. I guess I could hammer away at it and see if I could break UAC myself but I haven't done anything like that since high school.

    Internet Explorer & Windows Server 2003 SP1 R2?

    On Server 2003 you go to Add/Remove Window Components and remove Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration. If this computer is acting as a Server and not a workstation I suggest you leave it on. BTW I do not know if it the same for R2.

    Quick Vista "User Account Control" Question

    I simply don't trust a thin line of Microsoft code until it has been tested. No amount of song and dance from Microsoft will change my mind until it has been deployed for a while. I truthfully do not think they have a pro-security philosophy still, but one of allowing security to be second to...

    Standby problems on Gigabyte 965P-DQ6

    Hi all, I love my new DQ6... for all but one thing... I cannot exit from S3(STR) standby mode :(, thus I cannot use it. The system has no trouble entering standby but when it tries to resume it will continuously reboot, requiring power to be removed for several seconds for it to boot normally...

    Quick Vista "User Account Control" Question

    Actually it isn't more inconvenient because I can open up a command window running as administrator and launch anything I need to. I also don't have to worry about any flaws in UAC either... which makes me rest easier :)

    Quick Vista "User Account Control" Question

    Its much better and safer IMHO to disable UAC and revoke your admin rights then it is to live with UAC. That way you must enter your administrator password in order to completely trash your machine. Don't get me started on the new "permissions" pop ups GRRR *grinds teeth. Anyways I uninstalled...

    Should I upgrade my speakers?

    I have a 7.1 Setup, Onkyo SKS-H520 Speakers(pretty much HTIB), plus a Yamaha HTR-5860 for 7.1 analog in from my X-Fi... Expensive but it sure delivers... now with work and school I really do anything but play music on it when I get home, but when I do fire up a game or movie its worth it. EAX or...

    Linux SUCKS and should never be used by human beings.

    Processor throttling is handled by Kernel, I think you can also control it through user space utilities in the system. Fan control is handled by the bios AFAIK, but some fans can also be controlled by Linux in addition. Linux laptop support has made great strides over the past few years and...

    Rate factory built Desktop PCs . . .

    I prefer HP over Dell, they're latest machines are all really well built, come with real OS install CDs, have fairly straightforward driver downloads, fairly good tech support, will ship parts or send us a box overnight to ship back laptop for maintenance, and get it back to us within a week or...

    Atheros AR5005GS minipci vs intel 2915 minipci?

    I have used both, I have the same Atheros chipset in my desktops, not card mind you, and the Intel 2915ABG Card in my laptop. I have to say I would go with the Intel card over the Atheros card for a few reasons. First, I prefer the Intel ProSet for Wireless over the Windows Utility or the...
