Where am I, a novice, supposed to find a "community made codec pack"?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=community+made+codec+pack

And having downloaded one, which one's the best? I swear, it's like wanting to buy a shirt, and then having to spend time researching stitch counts and whether the garment was dyed after assembly or the fabric was dyed before stitching.

I'm sure you know that if you don't do any research, you're definitely *not* getting the best one. So, either you care to get the best one or you don't... if you do, then you certainly don't want VLC. If you don't care, then you can't use that as an argument against downloading a codec pack and being able to use any player.

Maybe this will help

Geeze, you're so full of shit I'm not going to even read all of this. I stopped when I hit, "The evidence is in any study on diet and exercise." What the hells does that even mean? Any study? Have you done any study? Have you read any study? Do you know anything on the topic?

Give me one study. Give me a single study with a diverse sample of people that shows that people with the same caloric intake and same exercise routine will all weigh the same, even as a general trend. Hell, give me a single article or website. I'd almost settle for any single person other than you, but there probably is at least one other kook in the world.

On second thought, don't bother. I know you're wrong, and by now, you probably know you're wrong. If you don't... well, I'm not going to try to sort through your posts for meaning anymore. Instead, go read something on the topic. Or even talk to your family doctor. Or look on the web for any number of websites for more information.

I may as well have been arguing with the Time Cube guy.

I trust David Pogue, and he reviewed it this week

This question sounds like it deserves the LMGTFY treatment though.

What do you think will get you that information quicker? Asking a question on a forum, or just fucking googling it?

Explanation of what RMSE is.

I'm not a hardware guy and I'm no fan of IBM but I must be missing something here: what is it about mainframes that makes them so different from servers?

Well let's see: here.

Thanks for that link. It's nice to see belittling/patronizing people has become automated in this day and age.

Unfortunately it was ridiculously unhelpful. I had already visited Wikipedia and the other links (like the one from wiki answers) where pretty much vapid and devoid of any information at all. What I did find on Wikipedia:

Nearly all mainframes have the ability to run (or host) multiple operating systems, and thereby operate not as a single computer but as a number of virtual machines. In this role, a single mainframe can replace dozens or even hundreds of smaller servers. While mainframes pioneered this capability, virtualization is now available on most families of computer systems, though not to the same degree or level of sophistication.

So as the multicore processors increase and as virtualization improves, I'm currently led to believe that there is little difference between a mainframe and a small server farm properly networked and load balanced? Feel free to actually add some information in your reply ...

Isn't there an US amendment ~?

The answer you're seeking: may shock you.

Note that their stated position is that it is not an individual right. They have taken on what they see as 4th and 1st Amendment issues in gun cases, and individual chapters (Nevada) support gun rights, but basically, the official position of the ACLU is "that the Second Amendment protects a collective right rather than an individual right" (From http://www.aclu.org/crimjustice/gen/35904res20020304.html)

According to my layman's understanding of climate change theory, the energy comes from the sun. What your car is doing is emitting CO2 which builds up in the atmosphere. Because of the extra buildup of CO2 and other so-called "greenhouse gases" the energy that would normally leave the earth into space does so at a much slower pace, thus the average temperature of the earth is slowly increasing.

You can easily run hundreds of thousands of hosts off a single DHCP server. It is not cpu intensive particularly if you have a decent lease duration.

big.
Big is probably irrelevant, I used this to distinguish between the dev's grandma giving them £10 for a pizza during one night of development and EA giving them £500'000 for the rights to the game. But its a needless distinction.

It's too bad that there is no way to look for the answer on the internet

Scotland is part of the UK in a similar fashion to California or any other state being part of the US, for example. The UK is comprised of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Perhaps someone else could explain for the benefit of you guys in the US how to use google though.

oh, wait, that now points to a slashdot post, perhaps if you look down that page you can find someone who has searched it out for you.

It doesn't matter if it's bad faith or not, ICANN wants the domain to have a useful purpose. That's why people put the "search engines" up. However, the likelyhood of them showing up to defend their useful purpose is slim to none. The problem you have is that in order to file with ICANN for ownership of a domain, you need about $3000.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=icann+domain+dispute&l=1

Last time I had to do it, it took about a month. This was last year. We filled out the paperwork, then our "dispute agency" (ICANN itself delegates to an agency) contacted us for MORE paperwork, then the other guy didn't reply because he had used an "anonymous registrar" so we won by default.

http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=world+population+peak

Can you quintuple the number of people living in your house?

There's plenty of land. In America, the "number of rooms per person" (the total number of rooms in everyone's houses divided by the total number of people) has almost doubled in the past 25 years. Technology makes life better faster than popluation grows.

I actually believe that I will contribute more to society through my work than through my child, but perhaps my career has a bigger impact than yours does.

Well, there's a tail to every bell curve, so I won't say you're wrong, but are you sure you can't teach your children to be as useful and productive as you? Did you know there's a low correlation between wealthy parents giving their children money, and those children being wealthy as adults, but a high correlation between wealthy parents teaching their children "how money works" and those children being wealthy as adults? Teaching your children how to live well is *huge*.

The real "culture" most of us pass on in the West is consumerism: we are obliged to buy, and produce so we can buy, until we die.

So if you think that's bad, don't do that. ;) Act the way you want your children to act. Children spot hypocrisy. But I'm sure you know that.

Triangle keys won't help, what you're looking for is called a magnifying glass.

I just checked and it seems that Microsoft does not require validation for IE7 any longer. They do not prompt for validation to download the IE8 installer, but at only 16 MB it probably phones home to grab the rest during install which is something a Windows pirate would probably not want even if WGA is not required.
