wow, eBay just forced me to do two factor auth by calling me and giving me a 4-digit PIN #. Wasn't able to log in until I did that.

i-fluid, a game so weird and wonderful, it can only be French http://www.i-fluid.com/
Netflix "watch now" does, amazingly, flirt with DVD quality on a fast connection; lack of dolby digital surround is painful, though
@hotdogsladies @ginatrapani when "wrapping", putting the link at the end is kind of uncool; should be in the first 2 paragraphs IMO.
@tobin for recommended netbooks look at TechReport http://techreport.com/artic...

@kevindente the laptop works fine with the DPI changes. I now suspect the hack to get remote desktop working in Home Premium.
@jeffmoser awesome, thank you, I will check out Alan Kay's Dynabook talk http://tinyurl.com/6cvqaz
pressing the dell M1330 into service as a vista media center pc. I forgot it had HDMI out which comes in very handy now -- audio, too!
@mstum true, now I can get the version with the 128mb of video DDR2 memory soldered on the mobo http://is.gd/aqOI

@hisshadow I'm using a raw dump of the Casino Royale Blu-Ray for testing. it's the most intensive video file I have. CoreAVC seems best..
all this codec crap is just stupidly complicated. The UI for ffdshow (et al) is a trainwreck of epic proportions, which doesn't help.
@nycerine nice, I didn't realize CoreAVC was finally available. It's almost 2x as fast as ffdshow on the full 1080p blu-ray rip I have
