    Really? on the player, or the language you have to select to play the disk? (on some discs sold here in Scandinavia you only have the choice between Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Finnish)

    The dvd I did this trick on - it said right at the beginning, there was a blue background with some kind of hallmark and a whole bunch of language options, and I think it was just for the language to be used to give the warning. But obviously there aren't such annoying warning messages in most other languages.

    Why would you do such a thing, and who gets annoyed?

    Just came by another one:

    People who can't write an entire sentence

    on msn

    before

    they have to

    hit the enter key!

    Which in effect makes my

    damn start menu

    flash like a christmastree,

    and making the

    messages a pain

    to read.



    I think i made my point...

    You wouldn't shoot a policeman.
    You wouldn't steal his hat.
    You wouldn't go to the toilet in his hat.
    And send it to his widow.
    You wouldn't steal the hat back.
    Piracy is a crime.

    But seriously, if you have a HTPC, just install AnyDVD. I haven't seen those ******* things in a year.

    I HAD a HTPC.



    It made funny noises and smelled nasty afterwards. I haven't bothered to fix it yet, as i never really used it anyway.

    That's not the point. Lots of windows isn't a problem, since i have a huge start menu.

    No you don't, if you have a message in a new tab, it will be a different colour.

    One of my pet peeves is that when I work on somebody's PC I always max out the screen resolution right away, but some people are like wtf I can't see the icons, hehe.
