14:52.16zmey_goh
14:52.33zmey_gdick_turpin: did you like it?
14:53.04dick_turpinYeah forked out £20.00 last night for Quick Time Pro and it wouldn't do what I wanted
14:53.32dick_turpinWill let you know tomorrow if it plays OK on my ipod
14:54.25zmey_gactually it was in .flc format originally and i converted it into .avi for your convenience
14:55.56dick_turpinLol it has to be .mov
14:56.39zmey_g.flv format not .flc
14:56.46dick_turpinI also bought a Banco De Gaia song off iTunes as well
14:57.14zmey_gi have all of it, not the best quality but ok
14:58.47dick_turpinSeems OK to me but then again I have to wear glasses for reading and computer stuff so.....
15:01.12zmey_gfor converting i used DeVeDe but not sure it can do it in .mov
15:01.43zmey_gyou can use winff to do it in linux
15:03.04zmey_gdick_turpin: i have some dependence problems to install it and have no time to fix it and no need either.
15:04.11dick_turpinI used this this

16:37.11aguaithefreakzmey_g: it'll be *.exe as well
16:37.48zmey_gaguaithefreak: didn't know this.
16:38.17aguaithefreakzmey_g: and works quite fine
16:39.34aguaithefreakzmey_g: I have to admit that .Net framwork is designed much better than the F**KING MFC
16:47.41zmey_gaguaithefreak: i have no much knowledge to judge this. but people who can deserve my respect.
17:43.27z00daxpopey:!!!

18:44.52aguaithefreakzmey_g: bad spelling/grammer....
18:45.14aguaithefreakzmey_g: !!!! your're great!!!!!
18:45.28zmey_gIELTS woun't check you on grammar
18:46.09zmey_gthe main point to succeed in IELTS is timing
18:46.30aguaithefreakzmey_g: plz tell me more....
18:46.56aguaithefreakzmey_g: what you mean by "timing"?
18:47.53zmey_gyou have limited time for specific task. and you have to make the best of it
18:47.55aguaithefreakzmey_g: I should take IELTS test in some certern season?
18:48.12zmey_gwhat?
18:48.15aguaithefreakzmey_g: oh~~I see
18:49.29aguaithefreakzmey_g: nothing, I just misunderstand the "timing" 's meaning
18:50.12aguaithefreakzmey_g: so whats wrong with your laptop when you install WinXP?
18:51.12zmey_gfor exampe. you have 3 min to read the text of 3000 words and answer the questions. you cant possibly do it even under normal circumstances , so you need to prioritise and pick up key words and make a right guess
18:51.33aguaithefreakzmey_g: a usb err sounds like you need to download some driver from the company for windows
18:51.36zmey_gbtw cube works perfectly
18:52.13zmey_gi had some errors on hardware detection stage.
18:52.28aguaithefreakzmey_g: no depandency problem? lucky you!!!
18:52.28zmey_gwindows didn't boot
18:52.57aguaithefreakzmey_g: it sounds like 2 possible
18:53.17aguaithefreakzmey_g: 1. hardware fault
18:53.53aguaithefreakzmey_g: 2. MBR is crash
18:54.51aguaithefreakzmey_g: normally I install WinXP first then Linux(or any other OS)
18:55.18zmey_gi didn't without problems in the past
18:55.39zmey_gin different orders
18:56.24zmey_gdon't think this is something to do with MBR
18:56.26aguaithefreakzmey_g: is grub still work after you tried to install WinXP?
18:56.32zmey_gas i boot from cd
18:57.38zmey_gsure it works i tried to boot from windows xp cd and boot process failed on the initial stage
18:58.38zmey_gbtw, the hard drive  wasn't even populated with linux than
18:59.23aguaithefreakzmey_g: so it is about MBR, Windows launch to ramdisk first then try to write on MBR block
19:00.02zmey_gstrange
19:00.23zmey_git was new laptop with all default settings
19:00.27aguaithefreakzmey_g: is your laptop a new one which come with Vista?
