Also, if it's a g-network but someone is accessing it at 'b' speeds, the whole wireless network will be slowed down.

technically its just for the visiting designers, so like 10 people or so? Wow, very interesting Tommy about the downshift to B if anyone else is at B. Dude, that's like USB chain. How mean would it be to bump it to G only? Screw those old laptop people! ;)

Um, okay....

Here's a really friggin' irritating one: I just bought a copy of iWork today. Bought it at an Apple store. First one to crack the shrink wrap. I installed the program successfully, however, I am now trying to open Pages, and it is asking me for the serial number. The serial number on the stickers on the "Installing iWork '08" guide book that came in the box that I bought today. At the Apple store.

I have entered this serial number six times now, double, triple and quadruple checking my entry each time. Typing it in in the four character blocks they separate it into for ease of entry. Double, triple, and quadruple checking each block as I type it, then quadruple checking the entire string.

iWork insists that this is not a valid serial number.

Bidunno Sean. I bought my serial online (unlocked the trial) and it worked just fine. If you're sure you're not doing some zero-oh switching (and surely you would have figured that out), I'd say it's support time. Annoyingly.

If you're sure you're not doing some zero-oh switching

Nope. None of the letters could be confused with numbers, and none of the numbers could be confused with letters.

Wow, that is annoying. I got my iWork from the Apple Store in the retail packaging and it worked without a hitch. Sorry you are having issues man.

I started this over in Boxed Set, but since nothing is ever easy for me:

Ahemming help.

I dl'd what I needed from mininova using u-tor...

I dl'd the vlc player to play the video.

Nothing happens.

But, beyond getting it to play in the vlc, I need to be able to convert the file to an avi or mpg or something not a torr... file

Just out of curiosity, how big is the file you downloaded?

16 KB.

And to be honest, all's I need is the final scene of the second season finale of Eureka. My file obtained from Stage 6 has a huge Ghosthunters ad on the bottom that makes the scene non-salvageable. I even bought the ep off of iTunes hoping I could run it through Tunebite, which is great for removing the DRM from the music files, but notsomuch for the video (I don't have enough RAM, I'm guessing).

And I'm sure that after banging my head against the monitor and finally getting the video to play from mininova, it'll end up having the same damned advert on the screen.

I swear, occifer, I just wanted to make a Henry vid.

16 kb is the torrent link. You still need to dl the video.

Sean try it without the spaces.
