This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.
e.g.
Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?
Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?

Most Americans pronounce the town of "Terre Haute" as "Terra Hot." The "right" way to say it is "Terra Hoat," which I think is basically the French pronunciation converted to more Anglophone phonemes.
Fresh-eyed movie blogRecommend me a music player.
Video playback is worthless. I don't like Winamp, I have problems with AIMP lately, Songbird is too much of a browser and Foobar is buttugly and overcomplicated. I like my players being able to scrobble to last.fm, read lyrics and, if possible, automatically tag my songs.
I will consume not only your flesh, but your very soul.While I'm cool with Winamps overall status, after my recent reinstall, it no longer lets me use the override to play MP 4 music videos and I am also curious as to other ones.
Fight smart, not fair.Ugly, breathing humans are more disgusting than a lifeless human skeleton, to the extent of where i'd rather have people shipping me with a generic human skeleton than someone I find ugly.
Asking cause I tend to find unhealthy/dirty-looking things particularly ugly, and you can't get much worse than being dead.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.Generally it's the sense that you don't notice the beauty imperfections in bones because bones are usually less sexually appealing, although they actually compliment flesh and blood beauty to begin with.
Human skeletons lack acne, they lack hairy eyebrows, disfigured lips, dropping cheeks, crow's feet along the eyes, unsightly hair, and of course, aging. Skeletons have the benefit of never needing to look beautiful, but being able to. There's nothing more sexier than a clean, ivory skull without any loose skin smeared all over it or unsightly cracks, and no flesh dust either.
Unfortunately due to the fact that humans are born to become uglier as they get older, and that beauty must be managed forever lest you mutate into a monstrous curmudgeon, makes the qualities very forgettable as people begin to degenerate.
Bad codecs makes the whole world blind.I use iTunes, but I'm dumping it as soon as I upgrade my phone to something that will also replace my iPod. I tried out Songbird, and they pulled off the feat of being even more bloated than iTunes, thanks to being a music player wrapped around the crashingest version of Firefox ever.
Here's a reference to get an idea of what's out there.
I just spent way too long trying to figure out if there was any library-oriented software I could use with VLC (because I hate having redundant software).
It looks like Kantaris
is the closest to what I was looking for.
So, I just tried hooking up my laptop to my widescreen TV. I used to do this with my old laptop and it worked fine. However, with this one, the video slows down and almost freezes at points.
Any ideas as to why and how to solve it?
"My life is my own" | If you want to contact me privately, please ask first on the forum.@mellon: Northwest Texas freezes during the winter. Specifically the panhandle. Kansas gets fucking cold. Louisiana is too damp and tropical for the most part. The very northern tip might get cold, but nothing interesting is there.
@juan: Check and see if there's anything running in the back ground. I also recommend updating your video card driver.
Fight smart, not fair.So, what's the name of the trope for when a female character's armour formfits her breasts?
NO TREE FOR ME (ALSO LOVES HER BOYFRIEND)Breast Plate I believe. Might be Chainmail Bikini. Anyway, you're supposed to ask those sort of questions in Lost And Found.

Technically, Guy 1 is not incorrect.
