PowerDVD is by far the best DVD player for Windows
I disagree. The best DVD player for Windows (and Linux) is VLC
It supports menus, surround sound (even DTS) and AFAIK all the other things PowerDVD does. But on top of that it is region free and allows you to skip the commercials and copyright warnings that PowerDVD forces you to watch:)
Both of which support menus surround sound and all the usual bells and whistles, but are also region free and allow unrestricted skipping of commercials and copyright warnings:)

Thunderbird lets your download, read, and send email, but Firefox doesn't let you do that.
Most DVD players on the market support DVD-A and CD playback.
No they don't, most DVD-A discs also contain data in the VIDEO_TS folder to maintain compatibility. But make no mistake this is NOT the same thing as DVD-A.
"I'd agree with you that a war of extermination is going on in the Middle East, but it ain't the Palestinians who are doing the exterminating"
Then you obviously haven't heard of a little group called Hamas, which has a charter calling for the extermination of the Israelis (with text lifted from Nazi documents from the 1930s included in it).
Hamas is an independant terrorist organisation. Holding the entire nation of Palestine responsible for the actions of an extreme minority would be like invading Ireland because of the IRA!
Not true at all. The hardest thing to overcome is the language barrier and actually communicating your needs to the programmer. However I have heard that Indians make much better testers than their counterparts in the Good Ole' US of A.
I seriously doubt they will be able to block the emails generated by my scripts. How will they tell them apart from valid email, samples of which will be embedded within the data carrying emails?
They probably just won't allow POP access to the 1GB mailbox. It's going to be a webmail service. I seriously doubt you could write a perl script to store and retrieve data from tiny encrypted emails over a webmail service that would involve parsing thousands of html pages to filter out all the ads etc etc etc.
Actually a fruit is: "The ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant, together with accessory parts, containing the seeds and occurring in a wide variety of forms."
A tomatoe fits all of these requirements. Basically, if you can eat it and it has seeds... it's a fruit.
Try to publish kiddie porn, though, and they'll haul you away. Because kiddie porn is causing harm to someone. The kids! (See paragraph about practical limits above.)
What about so called 'virtual' child porn. Photo realistic computer generated images not actually involving a child?
Geographically, one might call an inhabitant of Britain a Briton (or British person) and an inhabitant of Ireland an Irish person (don't know of an equivalent noun).
Because freenet is not searchable, the only way to search freenet is to use a tool like frost!. So I agree that if frost, (which is the most widely used search tool on freenet), returns only child porn then it is a fair assessment to make that freenet is used mainly for child porn.
True, nothing beats the real thing, but if I have the choice to get something nearly as good as the real thing for 0% of the real price. I'll take the free option unless I REALLY like the music.
And some of the really tight asses out there print out the album covers! Too much work IMO!
I don't use kazaa, all the mp3s I get on usenet are 160-320 VBR.
I have a pretty high end system and all the double blind tests I have done very few people can consistently tell the difference, but like you said, it also depends on the type of music...
At a 192+ kbits with a decent encoder, mp3 is almost impossinle to tell it apart from the original... sorry, but this is true, you would need a very high end system and very good ears to hear the minute difference. And even then the artifacts are nothing to wine about!
On the other hand, I think everyone could tell the difference between reading the original book and a pirated version on paper from a laser printer!
Ok so the whole thing's a project to create some sort of retarded new media player type thing that's cross-platform? Well great... If it wasn't launched by Real, the people who brought us the SINGLE MOST UTTERLY AWFUL video format.
There is nothing inherently wrong with the real video format the compression and error correction is actually quite good for low bitrate streaming... it is the bloated adware infested interface that is awful!
Does the Helix multimedia platform give developers the ability to write programs that play real media files?
I only ask because it would be brilliant to have a some software other than real player to do this job... man words cannot describe how much I hate that program!
With a decent encoder, MP3 at 192 kbits mp3 is *almost* perfect, for most types of music. Pump it up to 256 or 320 and no human ear can distinguish between that the source material in a proper double blind test. Try it.

They ironed out those bugs long ago.
I just tested the latest version with the T2 DVD (Very complicated menu structure) and it worked fine.

It's also free as in beer and speech.

How long before they block freenet?
Umm is this a joke, they do have a spellchecker built into the search engine. I use it on a daily basis.
And their online translator is here.

If you want to try good luck.

An Irishman.
Something tells me NASA didn't write the software with Visual Basic.
Remember to factor in inflation.
A dollar in '94 is worth about $2 in todays money. So really not much has changed...
Yes, imagine the legal fiasco that would follow if they stopped a car at a very inconvenient place such as... I don't know, a railway crossing? :)
Yeah, but in the UK local calls are not free. So these 'free' isps cut a deal with BT and get a share of the phone call.
He's not even an original troll!
