  1. Wait...  So let me get this straight.

    She has to pay $222,000 to the RIAA?  The article said they're a lobbying group.  Are they going to turn over the money to the various record companies?  Or just keep it for themselves?

    If a bank gets robbed who goes after the robbers?  The Bank's Lobbyists, The Bank, or Law Enforcement?  I don't have a law degree or anything, but this sounds completely backwards.

  2. I hate to recommend it, but AIM has a feature in it were you can share a folder with your buddies.

    If you saved your vids in it, your friend could d/l them whenever he wanted.  That is if his college doesn't block the port.

  3. You could just write a program to open the exes (open, not run) which would lock the files.

    associate the exe extension with notepad? :P

    Wouldn't that cause notepad to try and open notepad with notepad that would try and open notepad with notepad .......

  4. Harmony - Firefox w/ Flash 8 & Internet Explorer w/ Flash 9

    After doing the setup for pandora's jar you might notice that IE constantly asks you to upgrade to the latest version of Flash.  Needless to say this gets old fast, but I've found a solution!  It boils down to the fact that Mozilla browsers have Flash as a plugin, but with IE it is an ActiveX component.  Here is a link to an install from Adobe that has ONLY the ActiveX component upgrade, and doesn't effect the version installed in Mozilla browsers.

    Flash 9 ActiveX Installer Link:

    To verify the version of Flash installed, follow this link in each of your browsers:

    I hope this helps someone besides me!

  5. We tried it ourselves and it removed Vista infront of our eyes.

    That is just too funny.  Classic Microsoft.

    As for OEM installs, here's my .02

    Yes, OEM installs suck, but busting your balls trying to get the drivers and sheit working after a clean install can almost be as bad.

    Don't fix what isn't broken, but I think in your case if you really need to do disk cleanups, you need a fresh install.

  6. Linux and FreeBSD are free.

    Is there one for windows?

    Windows and Free don't go in the same sentence.

    To anyone interested in doing something like this it's going to take a lot of hard work, your own cash, and a nice phatty pipe to handle any significant amount of traffic.  My suggestion is to CTRL-ALT-DEL and rethink this one.

  7. Even if you figure out a way to get the video wireless, don't forget you need the audio too.  :lol:

    I did something like this but hard wired everything and used my TV as Monitor 2 on a dual monitor setup.

    Good luck - let us know how it goes!

  8. Instead of silence why not everyone open up there own radio stations? Or move them all entirely out of US territory? Why not fight a war of attrition and refuse to work with anyone but the artists themselves (play there music, and mail them the money directly)?

    Outside of the US?  Sounds a lot like the Russian run Allmp3 or whatever that site was selling mp3s without having licenses themself.  That didn't really work for them too well in the long run.

  9. Deepfreeze.  Ahhhh, that brings back some memories for me.

    Good program to keep naive users from accidentally destroying their systems.  Contray to what VaKo said,you can set it up with what's called a "thawed" folder were users are able to save data to that wouldn't be destroyed on reboot.

    Last experience I had with it (5+ years ago, I think?) to proved extremely hard to circumvent.  Good program, but I don't think it's exactly what you're looking for, or maybe it is.  ::shrug::

  10. Yes, I'd also recommend Group Policies if you're running a Windows environment.  Or Local Security Policies might work better.

    You can find these in the Administrative Tools Folder in the control panel.

    Or if you don't want students using USB devices at all, there is always the old fill the port with hot glue trick.
