DVD Region/Format question
clutch
I have been looking for Lost Highway for a while now, and while checking out an Australian site, I found. However, while it supports regions 1-6, it is PAL enconded and the US uses NTSC.

The Matrox Parhelia
Palos
It looks like a beast on paper, I want to see some benchmarks of this puppy I guess it will all boil down to well written drivers (as usual), and support for Opensource development. Matrox can start things they probably didn't think of (remember the killer app/hardware factor in the Linux revival?).

Atreyu
Greetings everybody! I've just moved to a new apartment and I'm having a very frustrating problem. I can hear an FM radio station through my computer speakers whenever power to them is turned on. It's loud enough that I can tell what song is playing and even make out some of the DJ's sentences.

Bye Bye Privacy :(

I think this serves a higher purpose than to filter for keywords and accounts at different ISPs across the world. They know that it is virtually impossible to pinpoint a suspicious activity based on eavesdropping and log analysis, for the following reasons: - To anaylise all the info in realtime as they boast, then ...

I just recently upgraded my Mitsumi 4x/4x/24x burner to an LG 32x/10x/40x burner. The first time I tried to burn a disc at 32x I got an error at 5 %, this is using Nero 5. 5. 8. 2. I tried again and burned 3 straight discs correctly and since then haven't had a problem burning.

Know any good Win9x forums?
postitlord
Can anyone recommend a Windows 98SE forum? Or just a general Windows 9x forum would make me happy. I tried searching in Google, but results were mediocre. Either too low traffic to get responses, or too few members, or the forum itself was horridly setup with that 200 pixel margin wasting space on the left.
