If it says there is no disc, it is either: 1. Broken CD, Well I have tried various audio CDs, and they ain't broken CDs. Those CDs still works perfectly in other computer. The weird thing is that the content of the audio CD (the .cda files) are still shown in the Windows Explorer, but WinAmp just …

Your system is not infected with anything . At least, not from this CD. Windows Media Player sucks and obviously has other issues beyond supposedly wanting to connect to the Internet since it was complaining about, among other things, invalid file formats. Where is the disconnect coming from that …

Electronica debate

Oh god, you're not going to put Oakie and Moby in the same discussion are you? To compound that with rambling of Nick Warren is almost criminal.... I merely said that they are examples of Electronica artists whose tunes happen to reach mainstream audience --none I've compared the quality of those …

Better stick to the topic, and don't flame about music stuff. Agree. It seems a thread split is needed. Back on topic : You may not have ran an app, but unless you can show ALL sessions on the CD I can only assume that something was run via autorun.... Hmmm... Maybe that's the reason why something …

IMHO Moby IS commercial Top 40 and he's CRAP and he's DERIVATIVE and he's so last decade.... He is one of those few Electronica artists whose songs manage to reach mainstream audience, but he is still an Electronica artist --same case with Oakenfold. (but of course, I still pick Nick Warren all the …

You probably won't like to hear that, but i believe the most efficient solution for the problem would be to reinstall your OS. I knew it. Somehow I knew that I have to reinstall the whole thing. :depressed: :dead: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y71/kreshna_iceheart/smileys/punchballs.gif Well …

I agree. I've heard of the Sony rootkit, but there's no indication in KAN's post of any nefarious activity. It looks like his WMP has been screwed around with and it's probably his own fault. Normally, you should be able to play RedBook audio CD (plain audio CD) in Windows regardless whether you …

Help! I've been infected by rootkit!

I recently bought a Moby 18 DVD + B Sides album (Mute Records) on ebay: http://i13.ebayimg.com/04/c/07/9f/43/f6_8.JPG It comes with a DVD and a 18 - B-Sides "bonus CD"; which is I gullibly presume to be an audio CD. Actually, it was the "bonus CD" that I was really after, because it has the song …

Hmmm.... It seems that bypassing emulation for video hardware is uneccesary, because emulation is still faster due to video card performance we have today. How about GLide wrapper, though? I've never tried such thing, but is running 3dfx games on GLide wrapper faster than running on real 3dfx …

Re: Another search engine?

Well, the "narrowing the search" panel on the upper left is actually pretty neat, although some of the sections seems to be redundant (there are already video and image search on Google anyway). But new features aside, is there anything that can really, significantly differentiate a search engine …

Another search engine?

Posted on 2007-06-14, 16:23

Well I remember those days of "search engine craze". Google was still relatively unknown, but we had Yahoo, Hotbot, MSN, Altavista..... But just recently, a friend just pointed me this . Yup, it's called Exalead --another search engine. Well, I just wonder though: is there still any significant …

But imagine if you had one system that could play any DOS, Win 3.1 or Win 9x game as they were meant to be played. No need to waste real CPU time on drawing pixels or calculating waveforms. You could use MS-DOS rather than some lesser implementation. Naturally it would have to be tied to a PC …
