I have a DVD question -- if I burn a DVD in an HD DVD Burner (like my laptop), will it play on a blu ray player?
A regular DVD? Probably.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Not sure where to post this, so tech thread seems best bet of those I subscribe to.
Seems HBO is sending out stop orders to IP addresses that are bit torrenting their content. So, should anyone be doing illegally d/l HBO stuff, you might want to reconsider.
I learned, because or organization got such a letter. Seems one of the visiting artists accidentally still had BitTorrent open in the background. So when she plugged in here at work, she started to seed from our IP. Made for an interesting morning.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My boss got one the other week, for torrenting John Adams (which she wasn't) -- best theory is that they traced it to her by IP, because the torrenter was connected to the looniversity-wide wireless at an access point that happened to be registered in her name.

ya, it was for John Adams here too. Office honcho was thinking it was the wi-fi, and hounding me because I give out passwords to visiting artists. It was someone hard plugging in an office. Made me chuckle.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I got one of those emails for downloading Microsoft Office at home. I wrote them an email back telling them to bugger off. They're normally just emails saying you've been a naughty boy and to stop doing it, which is fine for home users, but bad for work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, if I create documents with MS Works, will people with Word have any trouble opening them? I'm wondering if I really need to pay for Office at home.

Jesse,
Why don't you use Open Office?

Well, Works is on my computer now, so. Anyway, same question. Any trouble opening Open Office docs in MSOffice? Mostly I'm thinking about resumes and cover letters, so I guess I can just make them pdfs. Then I'm double safe that the formatting won't go kerlfuey along the way.
