US House, Senate Agree on Anti-Spam Bill
Folic_Acid writes "Rep. Billy Tauzin, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce committee, has announced that the House and the Senate have reached a deal to both pass an anti-spam bill, the first ever federal anti-spam law in the United States. Specifically, the law contains: opt-out, authority for the FTC to set up a "Do-Not-SPAM" registry, criminal charges for fraudulent spam, including five years in prison, statutory damages of $2 million for violations, tripled to $6 million for intentional violations, unlimited damages for fraud and abuse."

I just swapped over most the internals of an eMachines rig over to a different case for someone. I did install a new DVD drive they had lying around instead of the stock eMachines CD drive. Well the swap went fine, except the DVD drive will only read CDs and not DVDs. WHen I go through Windows Explorer oy My Computer to try to browse through a DVD, it says there is on disk in the drive. The only DVDs I have on hand are movie ones. And yes I've installed a DVD player. This DVD drive is very generic, I have no idea at the moment who made it (I'm trying to find out who). What are some issues that prevent me from reading DVDs? Is there a setting in Windows or BIOS I may have missed, or a special cable needed to be used, or some special driver? Any hints would help in getting the drive to read DVDs. Thanx
