  1. Re:The burning question. on Boot Linux In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    Back in the mid- to late-90's there was an open competition to see how many levels of nesting you could achieve. For some reason I think I read about this on Usenet. Don't know who kept track of this or what the record was. I remember hearing that someone had achieved 9 levels of nesting at one point. I'm sure that's been superseded by now.

    Consider running powertop and making the changes it suggests. Typically this irons out unexpected power drains with little user pain (answering Y/N.)

    VH1 Classic has played the video multiple times in the last couple years. Not very frequently, but I always stop everything I'm doing and sit down to watch...

    I use my @gmail.com account and @(google-hosted-domain).com account open simultaneously in seperate browser tabs with no problems. Everything works just like gmail and seems to work great!

  6. Re:Mac == Resale Value on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    So you're buying your Mac for investment purposes? Resale value? Come on, it's a tool. It will become obsolete as time goes by.

  8. Re:Definitely MapQuest on Best Online Mapping Site? · · Score: 1

    Mapquest loads very slowly lately. Usually trying to load advertisements from atwola.com. Takes up to a minute for the page to appear. Very annoying.

  10. Re:Sony - So Long Sony on Has the Quality of Consumer Electronics Declined? · · Score: 1

    I'm was a Sony devotee throughout the 90's. Still have a lot of their stuff. I've had way too many bad experiences lately to continue buying their crap.

    My list:
    * Sony Playstation 2 (I'm on my third one) $$$ -- Sony replace the first one at no charge, charged for the third one. They just stop playing CD media, DVD medita works fine.
    * Sony MVC-CD300 Digital Camera (back to factory twice) $$$
    * Sony Amp (7 years no problems)
    * Sony Discman (4 years, no problms, durable!)
    * Sony 5-disc changer (7 years no problems)
    * Sony 200-disc changer (5 years no problems)
    * Sony 900Mhz cordless phone (looses signal intermittently)
    * Sony 27" TV (blew electronics, into shop) $$

    Maybe it's just bad luck, but for now I'm moving on up to other manufacturers. I try to understand what I can about consumer electronics. I may have forgotten the cardinal rule: you get what you pay for.

    Anyone had particular experience with Sony's ES line of products? Higher reliability and higher price tag, or just higher price tag?

    >All you get it a black box

    Try using PowerDVD player, which allows you to screen captures at full resolution while playing a DVD. Copyright issues are your own problem after that.
