My Vista install CD has arrived!
Watch it now sit on my shelf collecting dust. But I have it, should ever decide it's time to make the switch.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I searched on Google for a while and couldn't find a fix
This exchange is what made me think I could ignore the 4 Terabytes message and just try to clear out half the drive.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Bwah, that's great, Daniel. Wonder if Apple will try to put a stop to it..

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
There were rumors that Apple would lock up a hacked machine the next time it tried to run an automatic software update, but they seem to have been debunked. The semi-official word, as far as I know, is "Do what you want, but don't come crying to us when it breaks and you've voided the warranty."

Awesome. If they can get networking working, I might buy one (although they are $400 here in the UK, mumble grumble).

Bit Pim Rocks. I have successfully created and downloaded edits of songs by Brian Eno, The Buggles, the Wizard's Baker medley from Home Movies and (what the heck) the Lothars onto my cell phone as potential ringtones. Take that, Virgin!

I seek help from the uber-geeks. I copied a bunch of .wmv files to a CD-R in a DVD-RW drive. However, those files are unable to be read on a regular DVD drive or on a regular CD or CD-R drive. Whyfor not? They're just regular data files, aren't they?

For one, what format did you save it as? if it was UDF, that would be a factor.
For two, did you "finalize" the CD? Some formats don't do well if the CD is not closed.
If it was done as a multi-session burn, it might not be seen on another computer.

How big is each wmv file? If they're small, it's possible they are just pointers to data that's still out on the Internet.
