8/30    Anyone know how I can watch DVD's on my Windows 2000 box? I have
        a DVD drive, but am not sure about what software/drivers I need. Do
        I have to buy some software or is there something built into Win2K
        that supports this? How about a free software solution?
        \_ buy PowerDVD or WinDVD.  They're pretty cheap.  If you have an ATI
           Radeon card, you can use ATI's DVD software, which has very good
           picture quality.  Your DVD-ROM drive may also have come with
           software.  afaik there is no good Windows DVD software that is free.
        \_ Your DVD didn't come with DVD software?
           \_ Well, the problem is that I bought a Sony Vaio that came with
              Win98 pre-installed... and I think that had a somewhat-crappy-
              but-sufficient DVD player. But I wiped that and installed
              Win2K and am now trying to find something.

3/25    It's strange that only every other Windows version is a hit.
        NT 4.0: hit
        2000:   flop
        XP:     hit
        Vista:  flop

2/19    I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster.  So I'm used to using
        Xemacs to code.  This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
        but sometimes I have to use a Mac.  On Mac, the meta is usually
        bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
        This makes using emacs a real pain.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?
        (Other than "use vi")

3/15    Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
        the following?
        - Windows 8
        - Windows Server "8"
        \_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
           and went over?  Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

12/21   In Emacs, how do I make it so that it will resize its screen
        when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
        use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
        because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
        \_ Which OS?  Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
           the height to be smaller?

2/14    You sure soda isn't running windows in disguise?  It would explain the
        uptimes.
        \_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.
        \_ Nobody cares about uptime anymore brother, that's what web2.0 has
           taught us.  Everything is "stateless".
           \_ You;d think gamers would care more about uptime.
