  1. Er... "Deember"? on Call of Duty 2 Causing Server Unrest · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can't say I'm familiar with that month. How long away is it, again?

  2. foobar2000, CDex, and some spare time. on Organizing MP3s and Other File Collections? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I keep my music organized in seperate folders, like so:
    Artist\(Year) Album\Artist - Album - Tracknumber - Title
    Orginizing it at first took a while, especially with bad tag info and weird filenames, but fb2k and it's masstagging and freedb lookup took care of that. Now, whenever I get a new CD, I've got CDex set up to automatically rip to the proper folder, so it's pretty easy to keep it organized.

  3. Who uses FireWire, anyway? on XP Service Pack 2 Breaks FireWire · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've yet to find someone with a use for it.

  4. Re:Was I the only one... on Carmack Discusses Delay of Q3A Source · · Score: 1

    Of course, can't really expect an iD/Valve collaboration any time.. ever. -- Wasn't HL1 based on the Q2 engine? Or am I just pulling that out of my ass because I haven't have caffiene yet.

  5. Autopatcher 2000. on Windows 2000 SP5 Replaced With Update Rollup · · Score: 3, Informative

    Seriously... just use Autopatcher 2000. Same functionality as a "Update rollup", but with some tweaks and such. It also means bringing Windows 2000 almost completely up-to-date (If you have SP4 slipstreamed.. if not, you can download the network install and put it on the autopatcher 2k CD in the Service Pack dir) before letting it touch the 'net. (I say almost - the only update I needed was for IE6, which I only use for Windows Update).

  6. Re:Haha, this is me on The Tech Support Generation · · Score: 1

    Can't you make norton update without user interaction? I dunno, I haven't used norton in a while- I use avast, which does autoupdate definitions.

  7. Re:Disc balance ? on Can DVDs Kill DVD Players? · · Score: 1

    ...it is possible, however rare, for a Zip disk to physically damage the drive by ripping the heads off (The heads snagged on a torn piece of the disk material itself). It's not related to the COD, but it can happen.

  8. Windows 2000 top 10... on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    1. Some form of firewall and AV
    2. WinAmp
    3. Serenade
    4. Juno. (It sucks, but I don't have a choice.)
    5. FireFox
    6. Gaim
    7. mIRC
    8. WinRAR
    9. Metapad
    10. OpenOffice.org

    I haven't really reformatted recently, after the last one I made a ghost image with all my base apps on it.

  9. Re:the end? on DRM Technology To Be Added To MP3 Format · · Score: 1

    MP3, maybe. But I doubt it, as long as someone has LAME somewhere, there will be non-DRMed MP3s floating around on the net.
