All is well that ends in pizza.

Just don't download the Lost ep18 from btefnet. They claim it is watchable but my friend downloaded it and said it is, in fact, watchable ... if you don't mind black screens and large green blocks covering most of the screen at random intervals.

I downloaded the same 350 MB file and get a nice crisp clear picture.

That means he doesn't have the correct or an up-to-date codec. If you don't want to update to a new codec, Try VLC player [link] instead.

Hey Jessica!

Someone on another board I am on was asking if anyone had experiences with VOIP, and I relayed to her what you said about sound quality, and she was wondering if she could get a quote from you. I sent an email to your profile addy with more details.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Web browser forensics. Interesting, if you're interested in web browser forensics. Or if you're curious as to that it would take to prove or disprove you've been up to naughtiness.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Daniel ... I've been using VLC for a few months and turned him onto it. He tried that and a few other programs but the video was rooted in all of them. Weird.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ok, I need help, because I'm tearing my fucking hair out. I've only got WordPerfect on my fairly new PC, and I HATE it. Because everytime I open my resume, it has fucked with my bullet formatting. Now, I went in and just inserted symbol to see if that would fix the problem, and it hasn't. And I could just re-format by hand everytime I print out a reume, but the thing is, I'm e-filing a lot of applications and everytime I upload my resume to a POTENTIAL EMPLOYER I don't want the formatting on the bullets to make me look like an incompetent idiot.

Does anyone know what the problem is? I am going crazy. It's not like job hunting isn't stressful enough...

Are you opening it up on different computers, Erin, because WP usually reformats for different printers.

Not the resume. It's all on my PC.

Anyone else encountering the Comcast DNS issue tonight? If you're in the same boat, you can manually point to different Comcast DNS servers (68.47.160.6 and 68.47.160.5 are ones I got from another board) and it should work. I've been having connection issues all day and thought it was my adapter and/or router.

My comcast was dead last night. I wonder if my problem was bad Comcast DNS servers too....

Is it possible to connect to b.org using an IP address, for those rare occasions when someone might lack a working DNS server?

Erin, I suggest that you download and install openoffice. [link]

It's an excellent free program that's fullly compatible with MS Office and will keep your bullet as they are.

I love Wordperfect, but only when I originate documents in it. Converting from Word into Wordperfect is a nightmare.
