When the Dreamcast was still in full bloom, I read that Sega had an exclusive contract with Ferrari for using their cars in games by Sega RD2, creator of F355 Challenge. Don't know if this has an effect on Gran Tourismo.
I've had good luck with ffdshow. Only other thing is I also have WMP 9. This along with ffdshow will play the majority of the video. As for audio and subtitles, you'll need something like vobsub and ac3filter. Normally you can just Google for the extension and there should be a website that shows you how you can play these files.
According to the article, most DVD+Rs struggle at 6X and 8X. The article is false in that the Plextor only writes at "8X" for DVD+Rs. Only Pioneer's newly announced DVR-107/A07 will write both DVD+/-Rs at "8X."
drive1: Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a path.
[drive2:]path Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
a virtual drive./D Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.
Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.
You still need to mount your network drive, but use subst to create a drive letter to a specific path.
This would work until your directory gets corrupted, then all your files are inaccessible. Or is there another utility that will hunt down files on a CD/DVD ISO?
Avery had a bad batch a long time ago (roughly 5 years ago) that shrunk more than they should which ripped/dragged the lacquer and reflective layer off of the disc. Ever since I heard that I try not to use labels.
Recently, I placed some labels on TDK 80 mins (these discs had a writable surface that is incompatible with some storage plastic sleeves--made the CD label sticky) and discovered one of the failed due to "something happening" to the label side. Closer inspection looks like the reflective surface has come loose. Cannot say if it was heat or the label, but all my other CD-Rs that basically live in the car don't exhibit this behavior. The labels are suspect.
Next thing you know, we'll hear about incompatible or a bad batch of ink.
Yup, I do agree with you. I like fansubs because it can expose someone to lots of anime and thereby popularizing it. At something like $50/DVD, I will not simply purchase something like Macross Zero without seeing it. Whether if someone buys it after they have seen/obtained a copy is left to their own ethics. Many will not like the subtitles permanently edited onto the video and sound is normally DD5.1. I believe I've said that there are fansubs that are very bad. Quality is spotty much like downloading MP3s.
There are commercial releases that are first rate. One such outfit is Studio Ghibli. I believe all their DVDs contain the original language with both Japanese and English subtitles. On the other hand, you have something like Initial D where the dubbed soundtrack is edited to cater and please an American audience. Even the video and "original" soundtrack has been edited. I suppose people who like these types of licensed releases would happily go back and watch Robotech and Warriors of the Wind. You can pretty much know that fansubs will not do this type of buchery. With licensed releases, deviation from the original content is always a concern.
I agree, and the fansubs are better in quality and content than the commercial/licensed offerings. I suppose this is kinda like open source vs closed source (commercial). Projects where amatures do something for the pure love of it is done differently than something with a commercial agenda. It also applies to Ballmer's recent comment about how closed source is better because they have roadmaps and timelines. I say that because these timelines are set in place causes some of that something extra to be missing. There are bad fansubs, of course, but it is probably due to them wanting to release something before everyone else.
One of the better fansubs I've been fortunate to watch is Hikaru no Go. An anime about the game of Go--ancient master of Go comes back as a spirit and coexists within a boy. Lots of Go concepts are mentioned in passing in the series but I think the additional subtitle text explain them well.
I don't worry about backing up the OS at all since if I have some sort of crash, I will do a reinstall. It is more of a hassle, but when I do have a crash, it will be (hopefully) several years after my last install and I can clean house and start afresh. So the files that I am interested are personal files.
My files are organized by those in my home directory (Documents and Settings/login on Windows) and others in/mnt. My home is relatively small and they contain files that I have manually created. On Windows, I also have a directory of applications. All of them run as-is without the need of an installer or I have a registry file of its entries on an installation. Other applications that require an installer do not get backed up. Finally, I have some system-level files like in/etc, and under Windows, my hosts file and minor things like that. These types of files are taken care of by DAT tape. Larger stuff in/mnt include GB upon GB of files I have scoured from the net. They are mainly anime, but as I accumulate enough GBs, I write these to DVD-R or CD-R and remove them from online storage.
It's a haphazard way of backing up, but I find that when I have a crash (occurred once), I ended up not really caring about the files I've lost/backed up since I can Google for a newer version online faster than looking for the right tape/CD/DVD and restoring.
For my personal systems, I don't think I'll ever do RAID.
That's what diagnostic lights, LEDs, messages and such are for. You don't need to be constantly reminded your computer is working. People who do system monitoring certainly don't sit in the computer room listening to all those systems hum and say "oh, sys234 has a problem."
Your link to sfgate ends with an article about socks. I was thinking somehow this guy is going to tie sock stealing with Comcast broadband bandwidth stealing somehow... until I saw the column list to the right.
If you have any programs that modify the default ipfw settings, your control panel will say another firewall is running. Stuff like PC emulators that have a virtual ethernet driver will modify the firewall settings.
I don't have any USB 2.0 (high-speed) devices but my Ratoc USB/Firewire combo card has its EHCI device enabled according to ioreg. 10.2.6 showed all devices as OHCI.
Slashdot Mirror
From the press release, it appears the Linksys is wireless only. I would have preferred a 100baseT connection.
Actually, I prefer to look at www.macintouch.com. Their reports on Mac OS updates are great.
Maybe you're running Jaguar or some other version of OS X. Panther 10.3.1 has the directory world readable and I was able to reproduce the seg fault.

22-14. If you don't know what this means, you're not a Space Invader fan.
And where do you keep your FLAC files? CD-R?

Have you tried the Windows subst command?
/D
/D Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.
Associates a path with a drive letter.
SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]
SUBST drive1:
drive1: Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a path.
[drive2:]path Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
a virtual drive.
Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.

That's not the point. The point is paying more to see the last movie. Why not watch it in the regular theater instead of IMAX? I don't get it either.

Fansubs will come out in less than a month. You can then read your way through, along with the subs of the songs.
What about those who installed the QuickTime for Java Update (6.4) on Oct 24 under Jaguar?
According to http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/news/press/00/pr0025.htm , the BOOMERANG data shows the universe's geometry is likely to be flat.
This isn't ideal, but it meets my needs.

Special effects is just a fancy term for smoke and mirrors.
Can you give more details about this? I turn off WMP's ability to contact MS and don't save the most recently opened files.
But the pictures will be either "pan-n-scan"ed or letter/side boxed, depending on the original painting's aspect ratio.
