  1. The free ones work on linux with mplayer. on 'Harry Potter' Offered (Legitimately) on the Net · · Score: 1
    I just got the free film "The coming round" from thier site to play in mplayer.

    Here's what you do.

    1) Make sure you have mplayer installed and working.
    2) Make an account at thier site.
    3) Click the play movie button for a free movie.
    4) View source.
    5) look for the embed tags. Add 'http://www.cinemanow.com/wmp/' to the front of the src= (mine was cnplaylist.asp?movieid=402&bitrate=300&user_id=xxx xxx&chkuser=&movietime=&maincontent=&swbit =1 the userid is for authentication, so I deleted mine, sorry)
    6) run mplayer on the URL like so....
    mplayer 'http://www.cinemanow.com/wmp/cnplaylist.asp?movie id=402&bitrate=300&user_id=632908&chkuser=&movieti me=&maincontent=&swbit=1'
    Enjoy!

    I don't know if this would work on thier ppv movies though.

    Could you put parts for two computers in a cardboard box and call it a case? could you weld/bolt/tape two atx cases together and call that a case? I think your best bet would to build your own case. Pexiglass mabey?

  9. Re:5.4 million? on Fax-Spammers fax.com Sued For 2.2 Trillion · · Score: 1

    In theory, if I tell a phone solicitor to take me off their list, they have to or face a fine, but the fine is 500 dollars.

    In the US, they don't need to do anything if you ask them to take you off thier list. If you want them to do any thing tell them to ad you to thier 'do not call list'.

    A guy from Fry's sold mu buddy an Athlon XP 1900+ telling him it was 1900MHz, then I came over to tweak his BIOS for him, and boy was he ticked when he saw it was 1600MHz. I'm fairly sure the fool from Fry's didn't know any better, but I had to explain the Athlon modle number scheme to keep him from hurting somebody.
