Re: [H] MS dot-NET

2010-08-08 Thread Rick Glazier

I have a program (or two) that needs it, so no choice.
I thought it was a *new name* for older stuff.
MS likes to rename things as they make them newer...
I'm drawing a blank, but maybe it has its roots in Active-X???

See:

SilverLight even uses parts of it.

painless and may be beneficial in the future.

The .Net libraries are kind of like the C libraries of old.  The libraries
contain methods that the calling programs can use.

[H] AnyDVD

2010-08-08 Thread Steve Tomporowski
Does anyone have any experience with AnyDVD?  In short, on two different 
machines, it refuses to read these BBC disks, despite being able to play 
the discs on these same machines.  It gives a long-winded message about 
the disk is dirty, bad, or your drive is not on the right region.  Then, 
of course, their forum is pretty darn arrogant about it, that it is 
unequivocally your fault, non AnyDVD.


I probably would not have been bothered if it were one disk, but it's 
disks from two different sets.  The rather funny part is, on one 
computer, if I enable AnyDVD's logging, then it will read the disk.


Thanks...Steve


[H] Asus Netbook

2010-08-08 Thread Steve Tomporowski
I went out and got a netbook, it's an Asus Eee PC 1005PEB, which I've 
upgraded to 2GB memory.  It has an N450 in it, and, although I expected 
it to be slow, it's pretty much a dog and Asus had decided that any 
working area on the screen should be made as small as possible with 
large menu bars, gadgets, etc.  It came with Win7 Starter which brings 
on the question:  I have three options here:  Clean up this install, 
install Win7 Ultimate or install XP.  I just don't know if XP will 
actually be faster.  What I'd like to do is be able to play video off 
the hard drive, not necessarily HD.  It just seems to me that the Aspire 
Revo seems faster. (Yeah, I tried with wired network also).


Suggestions?

ThanksSteve

Maybe a stupid question but have you updated it to the latest build? I  
download and install a new version 1 or 2 times per month. That's how  
rapidly they evolve it.
