Figured it out - had to resend the activation email. Seems to be working now.

Just noticed that my description appears as, "I have not Confirmed, or I used a BAD email Addy." Not sure what's going on - I was able to reset the account password, so email is working as intended. I've also had this account for around 14 years, so don't understand why it would need to be...

So... It's been a couple of years since I last logged in, and wanted to post in both the XJ and KJ forums. Problem is, hitting 'New Post' results in an error stating that I don't have the correct privileges to post in either forum. Have my account privileges changed?

Right. Just gonna come right out and say it: I like the Renegade - at least, what I've seen of it so far. Qualifying that statement: I've been XJ-less for three years, thoroughly dislike the Compass / Patriot (I tried to give them a fair shake; they just didn't cut it), and owned a 1999 Subaru...

Well, the time has finally come. I've got to let the XJ go, and it's up on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300582695535 If you have any questions, please contact me through eBay. I'm about to head out of town for several weeks, and need to keep management...

GET YER HANDS OFF MY JUNK!

SPAULDING! GET YOUR FOOT OFF THE BOAT!

Totally understood. If there's one person that I am more than happy to see wet their pants and cry uncontrollably over their choice of computer or OS, it's Mac or Linux zealots. Both are appallingly obnoxious, and (typically) horribly technically-ignorant yet willing to entrench themselves in...

FIFY

That nails it it exactly. Where Apple triumphed with OS X was to make Unix / Linux / FreeBSD usable by humans. No Linux distro has come even remotely close to that same level of desktop usability in the 20 years that Linux has been in existence - and I say this as a NeXT/OpenStep bigot, and...

Partly ;) But I get where you're coming from on that one. Mostly I just felt compelled to defend my Mac-desktop-loving ass :D For people who don't use FreeBSD, sure ;) Words to live by. Don't care who it is or what they use; I just wish they'd cop on to that concept. Yeah, but you get...

Check out VLC Media Player. It has filters built in that can both deinterlace for playback as well as transcode (or just rewrite the original) without interlacing.

Possibly, but it could also be doing a couple of other things in the easy-to-check category. - Screwing with the hosts file. See this link for info on how to reset it to its default. - Screwing with DNS settings. Give this a shot first and see what happens. - If the above doesn't work, take...

I took a shot at doing this once as well. If there's one thing I learned from that process, it's that you want to take the photos before you eat the food, not several hours after. Really helps to keep the readership numbers up.

Mint's nice. I'm running it as my VM distro for when I need a desktop/testbed Linux installtion to run <insert software here>. And it supports the VMWare tools very nicely. It was surprisingly hard to find a lightweight distro that did. Bingo.

R :D

FreeBSD FTMFW :D Burn's a useful thing to have around. For some reason, it's been able to burn a couple of ISOs for me that Disk Utility wouldn't but everything else under the sun would.

I've had the same iMac since 2007 and the same Macbook Pro since 2008. In every instance where I've had a problem with one or the other failing to accept a blank disc, it's been down to one of two things: 1) Bad disc 2) Dirty lens Definitely give cleaning a shot; hose some air-in-a-can into...

There is a reset procedure for the iPod touch, which is what it sounds like you have. The downside is that it requires iTunes, but should work. - Launch iTunes; do not connect iPod yet - Hold home & lock button on iPod for approx. 10 sec. - When the display on the iPod switches to an image of...

Price is now $100 firm and I'll ship it on my dime. Would like to get this out of here.
