And don't forget that all Apple desktops come with the Mighty Mouse, which doesn't only rightclick, but also has a fancy scrollball. Not like OSX ever requires you to right-click though.

DRM. Could be something that's read via Autorun when you insert the disk. It's worth a try to just hold shift for a few seconds after putting the disk in, since this bypasses Autorun completely. Also, does the disk spin up audibly?

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Windows XP Home sucks ass with networking to systems that don't run XP for some reason. Also, XP faced similar issues and complaints when it came out. Not much drivers, buggy new features, and too different for a lot of people. Hell, it took me about a year to switch to it. It's matured pretty decently though, and Vista should do the same.

Six years, actually. Also, Windows 95 used to come on either a bunch of floppies or a CD back when it came out, and Windows 3.11 only required 9 floppies. New features tend to take up space.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Windows_Vista#Digital_Rights_Management Third time in about 2 months that I've had to post this link. Note that the linked article is quoted there, and refuted as well(Under Supporters) Of note are some parts though: Since I doubt ANY major hardware distributor wants to replace an entire line of hardware, I'm pretty sure that the hacked driver aspect will be limited to local installations from a user, as opposed to fucking everyone over. Personally, I'm not gonna install Vista for at least another 6 months or until I get some new hardware. A friend of mine runs it on his system though, which is pretty much comparable to my own setup, and it runs rather well from what I've seen.

It's just like the original version with that as far as I've seen. The speed issues are still limited to a few tracks though(DK Jungle Parkway being a known offender) The only thing lacking is N64 Controller Pak support, There's no way to save ghosts now and the game comments that there's no Controller Pak inserted.

I got my Mario Kart 64 now, along with the news channel. News channel is nice, especially the ability to switch to the globe as seen in the weather channel, and picking reports from certain areas based on that. EDIT: Oh god MK64 is good like this.

Song of Healing and Oath to Order are from Majora's Mask. He probably meant that they're all from the N64 Zeldas.

Kool-Aid accident.

Don't forget Four Swords Adventures. It's pretty much a straight sequel to Four Swords GBA. However, it also includes Ganon and shows how he got his trident, and it shows the destruction of Vaati. We can pretty much assume that it lies between OoT and LttP from this, but takes place after Minish Cap, placing Minish Cap as the first. The Oracle games end with Link sailing off to new lands after going through the linked games(Adding Ganon as a final boss), which could connect to the start of LA. Zelda 1 and 2 are actually rather difficult to place in the timeline. They appear to have a 'new' Link as the main character, but Ganon's back while LttP claims he was totally destroyed. Then there's the case of the full Triforce coming under Ganon's power, while he only has the Power part in Z1. Also, OoT shows Ganon vanishing with only his Triforce part, while the others remain with Link and Zelda. The other games are rather obviously connected though. LttP's GBA release actually has a changed plot to point out the differences that OoT brought.

I do hope Europe gets it either this week(Doubtful), or next week. I can't wait to play it again, especially knowing how much better N64 games look on Wii because of the higher resolution, sharper graphics and lack of blur(Just compare Mario 64 on both)

I'm actually not. I already have it on SNES, and especially with the Classic Controller there's not gonna be enough of a difference to warrant another purchase. Maybe if there were upgrades announced soon... Might be a while, considering the Megaman Anniversary Collection and Megaman X Collection are available on GC and run just as well on Wii. And even then, they'd have to make 'em comparably cheap. They could use it to finally release that GB collection though. Or some Megaman games not seen on the collections(Rockboard, Megaman Soccer, Megaman & Bass and various other spinoffs)

1) Go to office supply place that also sells a large amount of different desk chairs 2) Test them all and find the one you like 3) Profit

The whole 1000/1024 bytes in a kilobyte thing has been going on for years, and it's rather annoying. And the larger a drive gets, the bigger the discrepancy becomes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte#Consumer_confusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Legal_disputes More on it there.

That's a setting in iTunes itself that does this, and it's supposed to organize your files based on their tags(Artist, album) in the folder you set as your music directory for iTunes(Which is also where the downloaded tracks are stored, and defaults to My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music. The only way that you would encounter your issue would be if you changed that folder to your C drive, and turned on the automatic organization stuff(Copy files to iTunes Music Folder, a setting on the same section that holds the folder location settings), combined with some pretty bad tagging. I disabled this option the moment I started iTunes for the first time, added the tracks I wanted and fixed tags where needed(Fairly rare cases), then used it. All my tracks stay in their original folder. The only flaw in iTunes I found was that it doesn't like files being moved to different folders, and won't help much when trying to find the track again.

I just use my cellphone as alarm clock. I can set a few different alarms, on specific days of the week, and assign a different MP3 to each one. Quite useful. Not a default function though, but a French addon program that replaces the builtin alarm clock(Which is limited to short files for some stupid reason)

HD-280 Pro is what I use. Awesome and comfortable headphones.

You can also copy the e-mail datafiles to a separate folder(On another drive if required) and just point Thunderbird to that folder. It should tell you if it's found anything in there already and ask if you want to use those files. As for accounts, I'm pretty sure there's an export function for that.

And it checks for duplicates in your library. But yeah, iTunes is your best option for this. It also allows you to create a Smart Playlist, which basically adds tracks based on certain tag criteria, even if you've just added them to the main library. Updating's a manual process though, it just asks you for the location of the file, and then you hunt it down.

The problem with a LOT of favorites threads is that most posts in them are limited to "<x> is my favorite" and that's it. No discussion, no useful input, and the risk of flamewars because in the end it's all down to opinions. Same goes for those "Who would win in a fight?" threads. Remix threads are specifically disallowed because of the site's goals and rules. You may have noticed that there's no rating or genre system either.

That's what the Remixing forum, as linked in the previous post, is for . Best way is to point out to them that a broadband connection's not only cheaper on average if you use the 'net more than a few hours a month, but it'll also keep their phone line open. And it'll make stuff go faster, even on the cheapest plans you're looking at at least 10 times the speed of dialup. We have a ReQuests forum too, where you can see what other people would like to see remixed, or you can post your own suggestions there. Also, we have a nice little intro thread at the top of this forum, might wanna check it out.

That's an issue on your side, not a flaw of vBulletin. Also, vBulletin does allow some nice things that phpBB doesn't, especially on the security side. Not to mention that it actually gets updates.

Same thing as with phpBB, threads have an expiry date. Also, don't bump threads unless it's necessary.

Scroll down beyond the ads, that should do the trick. No need to register, it's just their way to get more subscribers. Anyway, here's the important part: There's also some stuff about being able to use more RAM at the potential expense of stability.
