    Looking for a rec for a file compressor (for Mac)

    Can any of you give me a rec for a (video) file compression program for a Mac? I'm working on creating classes for Udemy, and even a short 5 minute file comes in at over 100MB. I tried DLing Handbrake, but the "compression" means that the entire file is cut to about 1/10th of the length of the...

    I think I have a computer virus

    Or, that's my best guess right now. I haven't been able to access Gmail since last night, and just now when I was going to go onto Facebook to ask if anybody else had a problem with Google, now I can't get onto Facebook either. I can get on here, and on LinkedIn, so I know my ISP is at least...

    Mac alternative to NeoOffice

    Fellow Nerds, I have reached the end of my patience with NeoOffice, and as I just found out I'm not alone. I faithfully install every blasted patch they make for this travesty of a word processor- in fact the last patch got DLed tonight. Yet almost every day I find it buggy, frozen, and 50%...

    Ton. Sept 22- Big Bang Theory on Craig Ferguson

    Just found this on Facebook, and on the off chance I'm not the last person on earth to hear about this, the BBT cast will be on Craig Ferguson tonight. Link from CBS- probably only available in the US.

    Time to get new friends

    *facepalm* I thought I'd posted this in MISC. But I posted it in the AL. Dammit. It's hard to read when your crying. Today I had an epiphany, and not one that I really wanted to have. To give you all a bit of a background, I quit my job with the state back on Jan 31st, giving my notice...

    Oh, s**t- it's my anniversary!

    I swore that this year I wouldn't forget it. As of today, I've been at the BBS for 8 years. I joined to find out more about Lt. Reed, suffered through Nemesis, and lived to tell the tale of how hot Dr. Mc Coy was in his younger years. I've also weathered so many updates, server changes...

    Need gift ideas for my smartass friends

    Okay, I know that my original idea of a $10 Target gift card just ain't gonna cut it. My improv class is having a Christmas party on Sunday, and we're planning on playing Dirty Santa/ White Elephant at the party. The gifts can be up to $10 USD each. I hate getting gag gifts, and since...

    Jan Karon's Mitford series

    I just bought the first book of the series at Half Price Books (12.95 on sale for $3.00!). I've been curious about the series since all I know about it is that it's about an Anglican or Episcopalian parish (I don't know which one), and I've gotten the sense that it's a little Hallmark movie of...

    My improv teacher was in Babylon 5!!

    Thats' right, he played Jinxo! He's one of my friends on Facebook, and he updated earlier today that he just got a 14 cent royalty check from the episode. I'm watching his episode right now. He's got a wee bit less hair these days, but it's Tom alright. I should dress up like Ivanova...

    Spider plant, peace lilly or aloe

    As I gaze out my 9th floor floor length window, I want to get a nice house plant to liven up the place and clean up the air. I don't know squat about picking an indoors plant, a Google search really didn't yield a site that gave me a good answer. At this point, I think having either a...

    Fair warning....I switched meds

    My doctor switched me from Paxil to Cymbalta yesterday. He said that after taking 3 different SSRIs that he'd try something different. I have an appt with a therapist on Monday to talk through the ungodly amount of stress they put me through, my ensuring depression, my desire to go to another...

    Starfleet Approved Admiral Pike appreciation thread

    Really- did you think that the brass would let us get by without starting an appreciation for ole "Reach Around and Fire at the Romulans" Pike? I think not. Let's punch it! :D

    Hunk of the Week, 06/22/ Bruce Greenwood

    That's right, kids. We're sticking with the Star Trek theme this week, but we're paying homage to the man who brought Starfleet its biggest headache since Broken Bow. I'm talking Captain (and later Admiral) Christopher Pike, the man responsible for dragging James T Kirk out of the perpetual...

    Scotty's intergalactic word quiz

    During which the entire cast is stumped on the meaning of (I'm assuming actual Scottish words since Pegg yells for his wife at one point). Personally, the best part for me is Karl asking about sheep. :angel: Enjoy!

    Australians, I has a question

    Is it correct to call only New Zealanders "Kiwis," or can I call yous guyses "Kiwis," too? I've just been going with "Aussies" for you, and it's a pain in the butt to stop and remember who's from where. Mostly it's the Keith Urban Vs Karl Urban thing that's giving me fits. :klingon: Thankee!

    Star Trek Movie flow chart

    I was going to put this in the "TOS gets new fans" thread, but given how funny it is, I thought it was better to give it its own thread. Speaking of new fans, someone made a flow chart of the Trek movies over at Live Journal. Now, we can debate the merits of the chart for hours (wouldn't...

    AVG 8.5 hijacking the 'net on me

    I downloaded the newest AVG last weekend, and since I got it (and Lord knows I had an alternative :rolleyes: ) I've noticed that when I try to go to a new site, I get a redirect from some stupid AVG search that tells me it supposedly can't find the site I'm looking for. I'm talking about sites...
