but people in the UK who have a TV have to have a TV license or they get shot, as do their family and their dogs.
Right. But now people who don't have a TV can still watch the show. I'm guessing then, they're not enough to put a dent in the market.

Video or audio? I wonder if the NBA has anything like that?

Strawberry disappointment.
What if they just have a computer monitor?

I'm not sure about that. I think the idea is that the programmes will be available for download once they've been shown.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Video, in .WMV format. I downloaded Game 1 of the '88 World Series. The only problem is that the resolution isn't great. Looks fine when viewed in a small window (320x240), but it's pixellated at full screen (and my full screen is lower res than you usually use).

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Speaking from a somewhat insider perspective, I will just say that the chances of the BBC ever actually following through with this are minimal at best. They'll make a valiant start, but this is the sort of thing that they're very good at planning, and very bad at actually executing.

Okay, this is interesting. The family of a Marine killed in Iraq wants to read all his email. Yahoo said no.
I feel for the family, but in the absence of any indication otherwise by the deceased, I tend to agree with Yahoo.

You infected it! hee.
What version of Windows is it, and do you have any access to things like the sound controls and device manager?

Microsoft actually has a page with a link to their sound troubleshooter, it's worth a shot. [link]
I was thinking maybe removing the sound card from the device manager and reboot, let XP find it again. (making note, of course, of what sound card is listed.)
Have you already checked the advanced sound properties?
