Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Anyone know of a quick and easy way to convert files purchased from Yahoo Musicmatch (which are in Windows Media format) into files playable by iTunes and on an iPod?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That Gmail Mail Fetcher thingie I mentioned above? I'm having trouble setting it up. Here's the beginning of the instructions posted at [link]

  1. Click Settings from the top of any Gmail page.
  2. Click Accounts.
  3. In the Get mail from other accounts section, click Add another mail account.
  4. Enter the full email address of the account you'd like to access, then click Next Step.
  5. Gmail will populate the Username and POP Server fields when possible, based on your email address. Enter your Password.

I get stuck at step 3. When I click on Settings and then Accounts, I don't see an option for Get mail from other accounts. I can add another email address, but that's just for sending mail, not receiving it.

Anyone? Bueller?

t edit Never mind. I found a thread about it here: [link]

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I just opened my first season Dark Angel dvds to play them for the first time, and my dvd player says Nuh-uh. It's a Samsung Progressive Scan DVD V4600, and we've not had any trouble with it before. We cleaned it with one of those laser-cleaning discs and tried it again, with no luck. The player still readily plays all the dvds we've been playing on it all along. It's just the new DA discs. The screen says "loading" forever. Once in a while it will give a "disc cannot be played. check disc" message. Same deal with all the discs in the set.

The player was a little balky on Disc 5 of the new SPN dvds, but it did play it.

The discs are all from Deep Discount DVD, so supposedly not ripoffs. It's been suggested that new encoding on the discs may be causing the problem. Any ideas on what's causing the problem, and more to the point, how to fix it? Do I need to exchange the discs and hope another set will play? Am I going to have to buy a new player for the new encoding on all new discs?

Is the logo for hair care or digital audio?

So is it a bad thing that I got them all right on the first try?
