 | | Recommendations for Media PC OS?
|
|
It appears that we may be building a media computer for our house soon... Basically, it will play movies (off CDs/DVDs/network) and music. Probably doesn't need to do anything else since the video card is too slow for 3D rendering. What OS/software (...) (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I'm in the same boat - I'm in the middle of watching the series so I'll be prepared for the movie. Aside from all the great characters, writing, etc., you know what I really like about this show? No sound in space! Did you see the (URL) LEGO (...)

I'm late to the party, but what a freakishly awesome show! Just finished watching the DVD. And they canceled it?!? I guess there was some crappy reality show that was more important. So, what's this about a movie? :) (19 years ago, 10-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Funny. Actually, you apply chirality every day when you put your shoes on--you put the right shoe on the right foot and the left shoe on the left foot rather than vice versa. You just aren't thinking about the terminology when you do so. :) (...) (19 years ago, 9-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Server is back up, and something like 15-20,000 free form records (the more automated ones are being scraped rather than hand transcribed) have been transcribed already by volunteers, but there's lots more to do yet.

(...) I would agree, things like Open Office are probably technically as good or better than the MS originals. A lot of the MS development time is probably spent on designing what the products do, not just how they do it The Open Office developers (...) (19 years ago, 5-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) So many people volunteered to help with this that the load from many many simultaneous connections apparently took the New Orleans Network (where the data is being collated) DB server down, they're upgrading and said they'd be back up soonish.

There are a LOT of different missing persons databases out there, making it hard to search them all if you're a relative or one of the missing, so someone came up with the idea of consolidating the info.

With Outlook express you just select the message, then Message / Cancel Message from the menu (don't choose Edit / Delete - that just removes it from your local drive!).
