Yep, iTunes is finally here for Windows 2000 and XP (no support for 9x at the moment - dunno if there will be). I just like the tag line on the site - "Introducing iTunes for Windows. The best Windows app ever." (Considering the number of complaints about it buggering up under Windows 2000, that may be a little premature...) I quite like it - give it a go at the Apple website

If you follow Aarons' advice and set the IMAPI service to disabled (actually, I have mine on manual, just in case ) then Nero shouldn't give you any problems. I've been using it since the original 5.5 release without problems under XP. If that doesn't work, then I've no idea what the problem could be.

classic. "Safety Dance"!! Floyd, Kraftwerk, AC/DC, Sabbath (with Ozzy only!), Genesis (with Peter Gabriel), Hawkwind, Motorhead, Jethro Tull, Gong, Half Man Half Biscuit - pick any one ('coz I can't!)

Er, not sure I understand the question, but.... why not just install Nero and use it? Just ignore XPs' built-in burner and use Nero as needed? I use 5.5.10.50 with XP (cos I hate Nero6) without problem.

2 years for file swapping? Jeez, thats a slow connection....Oh wait, I see I agree with FthrJack, all it will do is make a big hoo-haa, grab a few headlines when little Emily is nicked for downloading a few Westlife tracks she hasnt got, but hardcore swappers are just going to continue albeit in a modified, less obvious form. If they tackled the cause, and not the effect (ie (in the main) hugely overpriced cds') maybe that would have an effect, but at the end of the day unless they're gonna form the mp3Police and go round knocking on doors demanding to see the contents of peoples hard drives, the effect will be all bark and no bite.

Hi there, welcome to MSFN!

Love it!

looks to me like a living leg-end.......someone pass the peppercorn sauce.....

Alcohol 120% gets my vote for speed and ease of use, and comes with its own virtual drives (with emulation) thus bypassing the need for daemontools.

I've heard other people say that, but I just can't see the connection. The Darkness have more in common with NWOBHM bands like Saxon, early Maiden, Witchfinder General etc than overblown pompous rock like Queen. Don't get me wrong, Queen weren't a bad band by any means, but they were far more pop-orientated than rock, I mean - Fat Bottomed Girls, I Want to Break Free, etc was purely pop. Becoming popular by messing around? Surely thats the whole point, with most bands these days sounding like they've been raised on Valium and gin, it's nice to see a band actually looking like they enjoy what they do, and not taking themselves -and everything else - far too seriously. I stick by my guns - The Darkness rock ....got your number Dave....

Hmm, surely baseball is just rounders for men in nice shirts...? :ow: :rofl:

Hair metal is back! Grown men in catsuits (well, a grown man in a catsuit ) playing good old-fashioned rock n roll, upbeat and in your face. No Radiohead/Linkin Park/Insert-Other-Band-Here -style miserablism, no 40yr old men in shorts and caps being "hip" and "down wiv da kidz", just a full on late 70's/early 80's rockin' attitude and guitars you could cut cheese with! (Think Def Leppard with talent )If you haven't heard them yet (not sure if they've migrated outside the UK yet, but they've got a pretty impressive world tour lined up) then IMHO, you should! See more here www.thedarknessrock.com. Maybe they ain't for everyone, but they're sure as hell for me :punk:

Just in case anyone is interested, Ordnance Survey release a wallpaper each month (they're the map experts in the uk, they used to be a government department before they were sold off). Each one is a scenic shot of somewhere in the UK, with a small monthly calendar in the bottom right of the pic. Quality is usually high, and it tickles my fancy! If anyone wants to take a look, it can be found here.

I'd recommend any detonator prior to 43.51 (after this the drivers are optimised for FX cards). I'm using 43.45 with a geforce3 ti200 under win2k3, works fine.

It's nice, but not good to look at after an evening on Malt whisky....

I've got windows 1.0 - want me to mail it to you? its a 930kb .rar file..... (I'm guessing this isn't counted as warez, more as abandonware - please let me know if I'm wrong).

Hmm, not sure, if the guy wants to do it, why is anyone else bothered? If the person in question is happy to top himself on stage, what's it got to do with anyone else? No-one is being forced to watch it. It's most likely nothing more than a publicity stunt, to get people talking about them - and this thread proves it has worked. Just ignore them, they'll go away. Don't give them the oxygen of publicity, and let them fade back into obscurity.

Hi guys, I've just noticed my post count appears to be "stuck" on 99 posts - and have been for 3 or 4 posts now. Any reason? Or is it just gonna make a liar of me, and count this one? *Edit - I bloody knew it would make a liar of me!*

A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments, tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion. The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too." The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead. So the vet brings in a black labrador, the labrador sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the labrador thinks your dog is dead too". The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers: "£650." "£650 to tell me my dog is dead?!" exclaims the man. "Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you £50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional £600 was for the cat scan and lab tests."

Not sure if anyone else here is old enough to remember it, but one of the most acclaimed demos on the amiga - in fact, on anything! - was Jesus On E's, a 2 disk epic ( ) with a kickin soundtrack, and some clever (but often basic) visuals. I've stumbled across the website of the guy who did the music for it, and it can be found here http://www.spoonwizard.com/. The site contains downloads of the .mod 's that made up JoE, and as a bonus, there's divx video of not only JoE, but a number of other demo's , including my second fave, Spaceballs. If you remember it, revisit it. If you've never heard of Jesus on E's, now's your chance! :excited: - top one, nice one, get sorted.

Dunno mate, I'm a ZoneAlarm Pro fan meself...why not try v4 and find out? Then you can let us know
