    Erm so did I :confused: It's not ridiculous tbh that's how big video is - did you know without compression a standard definition film is 88Gb per hour? A terabyte is 1024Gb btw (not that you care ;)) Start > run > type dxdiag hit enter.

    Agree, why not? some of the greatest films were made in black and white and not just 'old films' what about Young Frankenstein, one of (if not the best) the best Mel Brooks films? In fact I had a quick look at imdb.com and I guess almost 30% of the top 250 films of all time are black and white...

    The best FREE software thread

    I have got to add this one Sculptris a 3D modelling/ sculpture tool - I haven't tried it out yet but it looks awesome, right up there with Blender. Created in 6 months by one man, an extremely impressive piece of software. Video demo clicky

    FIFA World Cup 2010

    Mainly agree though group G I would class as a group of death (providing Ivory Coast have Drogba fit) the strongest South American team vs the strongest Africa team vs a strong European team (yeh they haven't been on top form but they do have Ronaldo) Group H - I would tip Chile to go through...

    Where is the final battle?

    From what I've read the battle between 'good and evil' will take place at Jerusalem and Satan will be captured and then later thrown into a lake of fire so Jerusalem probably. Personally though I think the Bible is merely a commentary of life entwined with religious believes that have been...

    Trip to Greece - Any tips, advice?

    And if you still want to go you might not even get there or indeed back again depending on what the volcano does next (and your route of course).

    password protect installations

    The easiest way to prevent installation is to set the user account type to Standard user (get there via the control panel), if anything tries to install Vista will prompt for admin password to continue (iirc - never stuck with Vista went straight to Win 7 and that's the way it does it).

    Who is the best Rock n Roll Drummer of all time?

    The best of anything always get tainted by personal preferences and I'm no different :p John Bonham - The best technical drummer Honourable mentions: Neil Peart - Must admit don't listen to Rush that much but the stuff I've heard he is awesome (and most of his peers seem to think so too)...

    Altair 8800 PC case mod - awesome

    It's kind of Windows and/or hardware related but this is more of a 'fun' thing so posting here (mods if you think it should be moved please do). I've seen plenty of PC case mods before and tbh I've never really wanted one because imo they tend to either be too gaudy or would age very quickly...

    Wscript.exe - Application Error on XP

    Your right it's commonly used by viruses so to check: Can you get into safe mode ? F8 as soon as the bios boot menu disappears if so check to see if the exe is in c:\windows if it is then virus ! but it can still be even if it's located in the proper place (c:\windows\system32). Do you run any...

    RCA to VDI cord

    Odd 1st post but can't see any spam so here goes. 1) Using a TV well a CRT won't be able to match your laptops resolution so be warned the quality won't be great. Is it a CRT or an LCD ? If it's a LCD it should have a VGA input - use that instead....if not read on 2) Not sure what you mean by...

    Windows HOSTS file in \System32 folder

    Yep clicky but I take it you've got Firefox as well from your last post.

    Windows HOSTS file in \System32 folder

    FYI - there is an easy way to manage add blocking, if you have Firefox there is a plug in called adblock plus - after you have installed it you can subscribe to a list generated by adblock which is updated regularly so you'll rarely come across any ad's on any website. The good thing about...

    Opinions - File Sharing and ACS Law

    Now we're getting into mechanical royalties essentially in order to cover another artists song you need to negotiate mechanical royalties to (in the UK) split the proceeds between the original artist and the cover artist but of course you don't make any profits from YouTube unless you count...

    Opinions - File Sharing and ACS Law

    Technically speaking it's the distribution of copyright material that is illegal and you can only distribute if you share it or upload it to other people etc. so you could argue in a way downloading is not illegal.....but if your using P2P software by default you always upload (or seed) as you...

    Disable Windows Media Player

    TBH if you hid it it should be a problem but if you must have you right clicked on the icon and checked any options (can't myself as I'm running Win7). Other things to the are check under C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and in the same folder...
