The site ita mentioned is fine for current TV shows.
Yeah, I gave up on anything more than a couple weeks old, from anywhere. Not enough seeds.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Stoopid question:
Is it possible to use Roxio Easy Media Creator installed on, say, computer A to burn a DVD on a DVD burner installed on computer B? (Windows network, DVD burner is shared on computer B and mounted on computer A.)
I don't know why my boss set it up this way....

True. At least get one with touch sensitivity. Even some of the Casios have that, and without it, it's just a piano, not a pianoforte. Heh.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Having realized that it's kind of a PITA to need my computer to be on for DH to print, we're looking into getting a second printer. Having also just spent mumblesomething on the new iMac, we're looking for something pretty cheap.
This looks pretty ideal in terms of what we want to pay. The only catch is that it doesn't come with a printer cable ('cause, cheap) Short of going to a Best Buy and seeing if they have one I can look at, how can I find out if it needs a USB A / USB A cable or a USB A/USB B cable, so I can order them together?

You could assign the burner a drive letter on computer A and see if Roxio recognizes it. I was able to do something similar with a DVD copying utility I've got.

Have you thought about a print server, Jessica? I know that one is more expensive than the printer you linked to -- but it was just the first one I googled.

Nah, it only sees the internal CD drive, not the networked DVD burner (even with the DVD burner assigned a drive letter).
My boss did it that way because the computer with the DVD burner is an NT 4 machine and the Roxio software only works with 2000 or XP. So I'm just gonna switch the burner over to the 2000 machine that has Roxio installed on it.

OK, I'm all ready to burn a DVD, except there's not enough hard drive space (on the computer with the burner) for it to store the files temporarily while it does the burning. (The files it's gonna burn are all on other computers.) (In fact, both hard drives on that computer are smaller than the DVD I'm gonna make.)
Do ya think it'll work if I specify a network drive as a place to store the temporary files? or am I just begging for a buffer underrun?
