    Microsoft Sued Over Minor Subscribing To Xbox Live

    How is this any different than the kid using the card to signup for a porn site that auto renewed? What would he do then? Sue the porn site? "I swear your honor! My kid signed up for the porn site with my debit card! Not me!"

    Gaming within Virtual PC?

    Nope. IIRC VPC emulates generic video, so the video card in the machine makes no difference. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/

    Linux + VPC?

    Download the ISO of the distro, then create a new virtual machine and boot it with the ISO mounted in the cdrom of the VM. VPC won't work with some distros. VMWare has a bit better compatibility.

    Bluetooth Mouse

    How do you convert avi or wmv to H.264 or .mov?

H.264 on the otherhand, would take hours. And yes, when encoding short clips, even at the same size and bits, it was still...

    How do you convert avi or wmv to H.264 or .mov?

    Yes, great quality at the cost of huge file size. I encoded a 4meg file and it grew to 10meg. Encoding a movie from 700megs grew to well over 1.5gigs. I can sacrafice some quality for half the size using xvid or divx, and not have it take days to encode..

    How do you convert avi or wmv to H.264 or .mov?

    Best Antivirus

    I used AVG for a while but got tired of it not wanting to update alot of the time. And I didn't care much for its interface. I tried F-Prot but got alot of false positives, like it locking me out of php files for websites because of the code in them. I tested Nod32 but didn't care for its...
