Installed today's updates on an XP Professional machine and haven't had any problems, but I also don't have SP3 installed on this particular machine.

I would check for driver updates for the network card, but my guess is you already did that.  [ghost_wink]

Current Talk '07 II / Re: DVD Long-Term Availability
« on: July 01, 2008, 04:18:32 PM »
I can see the same thing happening with Blu-Ray.  Most people (myself included) are perfectly happy with standard DVD's.  There's no huge jump in quality like there was between VHS and DVD.
I would beg to differ with you on that. Last summer, I rented Letters from Iwo Jima from Netflix, and the rental DVD was two-sided with HD DVD and standard formats. After watching the full movie in HD, I put in the standard version just to see if I could tell the difference. It was like night and day, even down to the clarity of the lettering in the subtitles.

When the DVD format was introduced, some people said they saw no real improvement over VHS. In fact, I'm sure I can probably find some folks here on this board who still won't make the jump from VHS to DVD with their DS episodes. My guess is that their not seeing an improvement across formats has more to do with the money involved in making the switch than it does with the actual quality. That financial argument I can buy. The argument that there is no actual improvement in quality I can't.

ProfStokes, are you suggesting that the Fest has published an event schedule to which they will not adhere? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

A quick update for the Selby fans and/or people who like to nag me. David Selby will be at the Fest this year, but only on Saturday. He's supposed to talk about his latest book, Lincoln's Better Angel, and sign autographs for a while.

And if my word ain't good enough for you, there's an update on DavidSelby.com announcing this.

Umm - should you really be publicly admitting that your mother and sister are whores?  [ghost_huh]

(Well, IF we believe Carson.  [ghost_cheesy])
If the shoe fits . . .  . People who can't take as well as dish out sarcastic humor and insults have no place in our family.[ghost_wink]

Granted, Vicki didn't wear loud colors, but if she had to wear plain pumps, how about red patents with that navy dress, or a combination of red and blue?
If you believe Carson on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, red shoes are for children and whores. I like to point that out to my mother and my sister whenever they wear them.  [ghost_cheesy]

I did'nt care too much for the character Dirk Wilkins.
In my family, he's usually referred to as Dirk the Jerk.
