Gmail finally really open to everyone

Nearly three years after Gmail was first released, the free Web-based e-mail from Google is being opened up for anyone in the world. Beginning Wednesday, everyone and their mother can sign up instead of having to get an invite from a Gmail-using friend. Google has been phasing out the invitation restriction geographically, with total general availability offered in Europe last week and in North America, South America and Asia this week. The service is still in beta test mode, however.

Many people thought Google's ad-based searchable e-mail service with an unheard-of gigabyte of free storage was an April Fool's Day joke when it was announced on April 1, 2004. Privacy advocates and others objected to Google serving up ads based on the content of the messages. Making Gmail accounts available only by invitation, and thus a scarce commodity, increased their allure and led to auctions of invites on eBay. Later, rival Web-based e-mail services followed with full search functions, vast amounts of storage and ads.

Good choice, I love CloneDVD 2 its a great product by a great company.

My personal favorite is CCE w. DVD-Rebuilder but only if the compression is over 40% or if I really like the movie I let CCE w. DVD-Rb run while I sleep.

Actually, I would personally advise staying away from SpeedFan.

Under certain conditions it takes over your MoBo's control of the fans and your fans will no longer work until you uninstall SpeedFan.

I almost fried my 6800 GT due to SpeedFan. It showed the temp of my card and I played a few high intensity games then I watched the temp rise to near 100 C which caused the card to start pixelating and at that temp, from what I can recall, your can can become permanently damaged.

Luckily I uninstalled Speed Fan when I noticed it getting close to 100 C and the fan kicked on for about 30 minutes under the Windows Desktop and got the card back to stable heat levels.

Peace

 

I don't use it to control fans and disable all that I prefer its temp monitoring ,do you of anything thats better at just listing all the senors?

 

ImgBurn 2.2.0.0,2-14-07

ImgBurn can write most types of CD / DVD images and it supports all the latest writers (including booktype / bitsetting on many of the major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, NEC, Plextor, Sony). You can even use ImgBurn to erase / format your rewritable media!

ImgBurn will do its very best to burn DVD-Video double layer images using the layer break you've specified in the IFO files, but also calculates the best place for you saving you the trouble.


* Added: 'Read' mode for basic (sector by sector) creation of images direct from a cd/dvd.
* Added: Unicode support to everywhere that needs it!
* Added: An 'AUTO' write speed where you can now have custom write speeds for individual media types/dyes on a drive by drive basis. You can also use things like 'CD-R', 'DVD-R', 'DVD+R' etc.
* Added: Ability to preview Cells in the Build mode's 'Create layer break position' dialog box (or doing it via Tools -> ISO -> Display IFO Layer Break Position). This uses PgcEdit's little PgcEditPreview.exe file.
* Added: Option of Standard/DOS/ASCII characters set for ISO9660 file systems. (previously only Standard/ASCII was supported)
* Added: Ability to build ISO9660 file systems where files can have no extension at all (not even a '.' (dot)).
* Added: Options to disable warnings when checking 'seamless' or 'don't update ifo/bup files' boxes in the layer break dialog windows.
* Added: Options to automatically check the 'seamless' and 'don't update ifo/bup files' boxes in the layer break dialog windows.
* Added: Support for reading/parsing UDF v2.50 - as used on HDDVD / Blu-ray discs.
* Added: Build mode now has the ability to look for and optimise duplicate files so that only 1 copy of that file actually exists in the ISO/on the disc.
* Added: /EJECT CLI command.
* Added: 'Auto Change Book Type' option to the settings. This is only used for LG and Samsung drives. When enabled (default), it will make the program send the appropriate command to tell the drive to booktype the disc to DVDROM at the start of every burn - obviously just for Plus format media -i.e. DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL.
* Added: Ability to insert a layer break position in the MDS file made by the 'Create DVD MDS File' tool.
* Added: Early warning message on DVD Video builds where the files are probably too big for the destination DVD media.
* Added: Checks for people loading '*.000' and '*.ISO' files in Write mode when a '*.DVD' one exists.
* Added: Ability to burn small images JUST to the first layer on DL media (normally you would split the data between layers).
* Added: Warning message if user specified layer break differs from that in the loaded *.MDS/*.DVD file.
* Added: Additional check for file splitting suitability when doing a read/build to hdd using the FAT/FAT32 file system.
* Added: 'Sector Viewer' button to Read/Verify modes in the 'Source' box.
* Added: 'Cancel' option when loading an IBQ file and none of the images are in the right place!
* Added: Files created in Read/Build mode are now (optionally - default = on) pre-allocated. This cuts down on fragmentation.
* Added: Options to set process priority during Read/Write/Verify.
* Added: Support for reading hdd partitions to an image file suitable for use as the boot image when building a bootable disc/iso.
* Added: A button on the 'volume label' windows to have it insert the current date/time in YYYYMMDD_HHMM format.
* Added: Answer 'Yes' / Answer 'No' options to the 'Don't prompt VIDEO_TS content' option.
* Added: An optional timeout to the auto volume label window (default is ON and 30 seconds).
* Added: Layer break positions are now displayed in the main GUI if the MDS/DVD file loaded in Write/Verify mode contained one.
* Added: Options on the 'Create DVD MDS File' window are now remembered between sessions.
* Added: The option of preserving full pathnames within MDS files created by Read/Build modes.
* Added: Improved logging options for files that have their names shortened due to file system limitations / restrictions currently in place.
* Added: Ability to add device id strings that are really OEM LG / Samsung drives - for use by the 'Auto Change Book Type' feature.
* Added: New 'Filter Driver Load Order' feature so you can see which drivers all your I/O is going through - and spot ones that could be messing things up. (Available on Windows 2000 and newer)
* Added: When the book type commands fail, the 'reason' (I/O SenseArea interpretation) is now also displayed in the messagebox.
* Added: Support for Vista's new 'OnDVDArrival' autoplay stuff - so it now says 'Burn an Image' (using ImgBurn) as an option when you insert a blank DVD. (This had already been implemented for OnCDArrival and I had assumed it would apply to both - it didn't!)
* Added: Support for showing supported write speeds on CD.
* Added: Support for identifying DVD+RW DL booktype.
* Added: 'TOC Information' to the Info panels in all modes.
* Added: Detection/Identification of 'HD DVD-ROM' etc type drives to the log when ImgBurn first starts.
* Added: Detection of HD DVD-RW read/write capabilities.
* Added: Context menu with 'Copy' option on it to the 'Label' field in the 'Previous Image' groupbox on the 'Please insert next disc' window.
* Added: Message in 'Build' mode when user tries to write an ISO image - where they should probably be using 'Write' mode.
* Added: 'Free Space' to the info page in build mode - used as part of the 'Calculate' function.
* Added/Changed: 'Preferred Format Capacity' value to info window for rewritable media. This value is now used during full erase rather than the maximum one.
* Added/Changed: A little workaround for a glitch in Vista with windows using a non resizable frame under the Aero theme. Pixel 0, 0 is not the absolute top left of the window - making the window appear off the screen.
* Added/Changed: The shutdown options / API's now use the 'FORCE' flag if ImgBurn detects the computer is 'Locked' - this can be disabled in the settings.
* Changed: Only the first cell in an angle block is now shown as a potential layer break. Other cells in the block take on the same SPLIP flag as the first.
* Changed: Check for updates defaults to 'Weekly' now. (Beta versions still do it every time it's started)
* Changed: 'Time' column header in layer break dialog boxes to say 'Start Time'.
* Changed: Some of the 'Program Update' code to hopefully reduce the chance of getting a cached response when checking for version updates.
* Changed: When looking for firmware updates, only the model is now passed to the www.rpc1.org search engine rather than make + model.
* Changed: On a fresh install, people with over 1GB RAM get a 40MB buffer, not 20MB.
* Changed: Process priority for Verify mode now defaults to 'Normal'.
* Changed: Some of the little hdd/cdrom pictures to their XP equivalents.
* Changed: New images for the column sort arrows shown in the Queue window (Applies to all OS's prior to XP - XP handles arrows by itself). The previous ones were not very clear.
* Changed: The icon on the DVDInfoPro buttons so it matches the new one used in the latest version of the program.
* Changed: Samsung 'change book type' screen always used to say the current setting was DVDROM. This was 'forced' because the drive doesn't appear to report the current value. ImgBurn now tells it like it is.
* Changed: BD-RE Full Erase code now also writes 0's to all the sectors on the disc. Unlike with DVD+RW erase, the drive doesn't do this automatically.
* Changed: The exe is now compressed using UPX 2.92 (beta). This new version appears to fix the Windows 98 crashing bug that plagued it previously and UPX doesn't suffer from the XP crashes that PECompact does.
* Changed: Update to using NSIS 2.23 for the installation program.
* Changed/Fixed: There wasn't anything 'logged' when a file wasn't readable when building an image in 'Build' mode.
* Changed/Fixed: Errors caught during the sync cache / disc finalisation stages were not taken into consideration when deciding if the burn succeeded/failed.
* Changed/Fixed: Loads of stuff for Blu-ray media / burning. (BIG Thanks to SVP for letting me borrow a drive!)
* Changed/Fixed: Some bits for HD DVD media / burning.
* Changed/Fixed: Now only single session/track data discs can be processed by Read & Verify modes.
* Changed/Fixed: Unless the user specifically overwrites an image in read/build mode, the MDS file will not overwrite an existing one with the same name - it'll rename / create a new one in the 'filename(x).ext' format.
* Fixed: IFO parsing code wasn't processing VMGM / VTSM cell info properly (well, ok, at all!) and so they'd show up as non seamless when they shouldn't have in the layer break selection boxes.
* Fixed: Build mode's layer break code was a little too good at skipping analysis of files it didn't think would work - as such, some perfectly valid potential layer break positions were missing from the dialog box.
* Fixed: Bad/failed copies in a multi-copy queued burn were not being taken into account when decided whether or not to delete an image based on the 'Delete the image when done' setting.
* Fixed: The Patin-Couffin I/O interface caused BSOD's on Windows 9x. This is probably due to changes in the driver as 9x used to use different code to NT. ImgBurn now uses the same code for all OS's. Tested with v36.
* Fixed: UDF Version was displayed using OS's regional setting for a decimal place rather than being fixed as a '.' (dot).
* Fixed: Drag + Drop of folders into the write queue could lead to duplicates if a .DVD and .ISO were present in the same folder and had the same name (well, first part anyway!).
* Fixed: Times were wrong in layer break dialog for PGC's using multiple angles.
* Fixed: Having 'Auto Calculate' enabled messed up builds initiated via CLI.
* Fixed: The 'Verify Against Image File' option in the settings (Write tab) had no effect on the 'Build' Mode virtual image and so a verify always compared the burnt disc to the original data.
* Fixed: Just adding VIDEO_TS type files to the source box in Build mode failed to build a DVD Video disc (after you answered 'yes' to say that's what you wanted to do). The operation was aborted instantly.
* Fixed: /LOG CLI command didn't work if the program was already auto saving the log somewhere due to normal option in the settings (Events tab).
* Fixed: Pasting text into ISO9660 volume label boxes allowed for characters that should have been restricted (it bypassed the normal checks).
* Fixed: 'Weekly' and 'Fortnightly' were round the wrong way in the 'check for program update' option drop down box.
* Fixed: Couldn't just specify a filename (no path) for the /SETTINGS CLI 'File Name' argument. It would save ok but wouldn't load.
* Fixed: LBA offset was wrong in one of the UDF descriptors if the file descriptors for a given directory spanned multiple sectors. (Some OS's didn't then show all the files)
* Fixed: Starting the build/write automatically via CLI could mean the autoinsert thread was run after it should have already been terminated. This could cause errors to pop up as the disc continued to burn (so not really damaging anything).
* Fixed: Memory leak if you used the 'Create DVD MDS File' tool.
* Fixed: Incorrect decoding of I/O errors when using the 'Write (12)' command.
* Fixed: A couple of glitches in the GUI on Vista.
* Fixed: A problem where the MD5 hash wasn't always calculated/displayed in the log after a burn/verify etc.
* Fixed: The open file dialog boxes now have the places bar down the left hand side on Windows Me.
* Fixed: 'Chapter' column in layer break dialog boxes was showing a number with a base of 0, instead of with a base of 1 - i.e. it was 1 too low!
* Fixed: Layer break positions in the list view were only sorted by LBA and those with the same LBA could appear in the wrong order - LU / PGC / Chapter / Cell wise.
* Fixed: Tools -> ISO -> 'Display IFO Layer break position' could start with part of an internal (to the program) string in the 'file' box.
* Fixed: Open/Save File dialog boxes were not resizable.
* Fixed: The AutoPlay (on insert blank cd/dvd) 'Burn Image / Build + Burn Image' entries were passing the drive letter with the '/SOURCE' CLI parameter rather than the '/DEST' one.
* Fixed: Some memory leaks when closing the program down on Vista (with UAC enabled) due to it not being able to write certain registry entries.
* Fixed: Lots of error catching code so Borland's internal exceptions are deleted properly and not 'leaked' when the program closes.
* Fixed: Some issues to do with the 'DVDRAM / BD-RE FastWrite' option.
* Fixed: Old CD-R/RW drives that don't report the current media properly would cause ImgBurn to prompt the user to select which type of media they wanted to erase - when CD-RW was the only one it could ever be.
* Fixed: Discovery mode's 'Sectors' box wouldn't accept a large enough number for use on large discs - i.e. HD DVD, Blu-ray.

Now that everyone that wanted a Gmail account already has one they open it to the public.

The ads are non-intrusive and help keep Gmail free (ok, they just make Google even more then the ~$9.8 billion it already has in cash).

 

No, I do not and like I said as long as its not used to control the fans it should be ok but if it takes over the fan controls this could result in an expensive problem.

 

Speedfan is not perfect dosent find all the sensors on all older boards but all in all its a good sensor listing program.

 

I know quite a few people that are senile already and have not had the "snip"!

 

I agree.

 

I also had problems with Speedfan....

PREVENTING DISEASE



Miss Bea was in her 80's and much admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. The pastor came to call on her one afternoon early in the Spring and she welcomed him into her Victorian parlor. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared a little tea.

As he sat facing her old pump organ, the minister noticed a crystal glass bowl sitting on top of it filled with water. In the water floated, of all things, a condom. Imagine his shock and surprise. Imagine his curiosity; surely Miss Bea had flipped! But he certainly couldn't mention the strange sight in her parlor.

When she returned with tea and cookies they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl and its strange floater, but soon it got the best of him, and he could resist no longer.

"Miss Bea," he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this." Pointing to the bowl.

"Oh, yes," she replied, "Isn't it wonderful? I was walking down town last fall and I found this little package. It said to put it on your organ and keep it wet, and it would prevent disease. And you know, I think it is working. I haven't had a cold all winter!"

 

Good job I live no where near there then!! LOL!

 

If the guide is comperhenise and the program not overly crippled shareware would there still be a problem?

hey, ireland or whoever can answer this.
I F^&%ed up my directx yesterday. When I was installing directx 9.0c or something, it just froze. I restarted the computer and ran the installer again. It says it's already on my computer, but it's not. I can't run WOW (world of warcraft). what do i do. I hate directx and i hope it gets dead!

Using the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to diagnose problemsIf you are experiencing problems when running Microsoft DirectX applications, the DirectX Diagnostic Tool can help you find the source of the trouble. Here are some of the things you should be looking for:

Incorrect versions of DirectX components. In the Notes section of the DirectX Files page, look for warnings about beta and debug files. Beta files are early test versions and should not be installed with commercial programs. Debug versions, which are used in program development, should not be installed with the final product. Debug versions of the components can cause programs to run much more slowly than they would with the retail versions.
Lack of hardware acceleration. Some programs run very slowly or not at all unless Microsoft DirectDraw or Direct3D hardware acceleration is available. On the Display page, look under DirectX Features to see whether DirectDraw, Direct3D, or AGP Texture acceleration is marked "Not Available." If so, you might consider upgrading your hardware. Or if you are using a product in the Windows Server 2003 family, you may need to enable graphics acceleration. You can do this by opening Display in Control Panel, selecting the Settings tab, and then clicking Advanced. Select the Troubleshoot tab, and then move the Hardware Acceleration slider to Full.
Device not connected. If a joystick or other input device fails to respond, it may not be properly set up. Make sure the device is accounted for on the Input page of the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. If not, add the device through Control Panel.
Unsigned drivers. Microsoft has not tested unsigned drivers for full compatibility with the latest version of DirectX. It is recommended that you use drivers that are digitally signed by Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL).

 

@antomic, that sucks buddy Hopefully you'll get the problem solved soon.

My non-bitch of the day:

Neph, even if you don't read this thread, I would like to publicly say thank you for closing the "Good news blue-ray is going to win the [format] war" thread it was really starting to bug me and I actually thought about asking for it to be closed so thank you for closing it.
