  • Can someone solve the mystery of HOW TO change the menu font size in VLC?

    I've had VLC for ages and today I open the menu (eg. Tools>Preferences>whatever and find that the menu has suddenly turned into a teeny tiny illegible useless.. menu that I can barely see if I put my face right up to the screen!

    Of course there is no visible option to change the menu font size (yes I got out my Sherlock Holmes size magnifying glass and looked over the options completely) and NO MY COMPUTER does not have the same minuscule font size settings on it

    HOW DOES ONE ADJUST THE FONT SIZE FOR THE MENU  (NOT FOR SUBTITLES, I REPEAT NOT NOT NOT SUBTITLE FONTS)?

  • Why did this happen to my "MyYahoo" page?

    Why is it after I customized my "MyYahoo" page (added widgets or whatever they call them here, feeds and various other things and removed some AND YES, SAVED THE CHANGES) did the next day every single thing default to the general selections given initially BY DEFAULT, but still keep my background choice?

  • When Trump said "I'm the least racist person in this room" during the final debate did he think....?

    ....that he was in a room full of neo-nazi skinheads, klansmen, David Duke and the ghost of Adolf Hitler?

    I mean he said himself that 'he couldn't see who is out there'.

    Why does Mitch McConnell always look like......?

    ...a guy who just got caught with his pants down doing something he shouldn't be?

    I swear every time I see a photo of this guy on t.v. or online in a news story he looks like like someone just flung open a bathroom door and found him with his pants around his ankles doing something sordid to an entire uncooked chicken, or turkey!

    Why is this and does it have anything to do with the fact he is from Kentucky?

    How do I contend with this conflict!?

    I think any fan of historical cinema knows the woman in the image (if you do not recognize her, it is Bridget Bardot in 1953 @ 19 yrs. old).

    My problem is I can not contend with the fact that I find her so incredibly attractive in her youth despite the fact that I recognize and am aware she aged to be a repugnant racist (arrested at least 7 times in France for racist crimes) embittered old hag (I believe that her true nature is reflected in her current appearance, its not that I am repulsed by the fact she aged or aged poorly, its because of who/what she is).

    I don't really have this problem with other old starlets who I find attractive, but learned they were "unattractive" as people off screen (ie. Veronica Lake, who is said to have been literally nicknamed "That B*tch" by most, if not all of her co-stars) it's just with Bridget Bardot.

    Its a really disturbing a conflict that bothers me every time I see a pic of her in her youth. What can I do about this? Not even trollin' here. This is for real.

  • Can I connect my xp computer to my HOME network without it being online?

    With the end of Microsoft addressing updates to XP I don't feel comfortable using my old Dell 2400 Dimension online any more, but I want to connect it to my network to access the external drives I keep connected to it, via my network and NOW main computer (TOSHIBA LAPTOP RUNNING VISTA).

    The laptop will also have drives connected, so don't suggest "switching" or reconnecting. There are other reasons for this. Essentially I want the XP OS computer to be able to take in a store some downloaded material, without it actually being "exposed" directly to an internet connection. The answer may be obvious, but I overlooked something quite obvious before in regard to this setup so I would like other people's (who might be seeing things more clearly and have actual working knowledge) opinions'.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Is using antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer sufficient to sterilize my wash basin before shaving?

    I've been using this combination of products to do a "quick" wash of my bathroom sink before shaving, because I don't want heavy duty cleaning product chemical residue getting in the water after I fill the sink I fill the sink with hot water to use for shaving.

    The mixture is;

    antibacterial soap (two squirts) and hand sanitizer (1 full squirt) on a sponge that is used for only for this purpose.

    I wipe the mixture over everything (sink, handles faucet, outer basin, etc), leave it for 5 mins and then wipe clean with hot water and a sponge (the same sponge rinsed free of soap)

    Is this sufficiently sterilizing my bathroom sink?

    (Note: the sink being addressed is my own private bathroom sink - common area bathroom is sterilized with ajax/comet cleaner and bleach followed by being sprayed down with disinfectant after primary rinse and wipe down)

  • Isn't The Hunger Games just a .....?

    ..heavily watered down American rip off of Battle Royal?

    I mean a bunch of kids sent out to the woods of an island, competing to kill one another and be the last to survive, doesn't sound EXACTLY like the premise of Battle Royal?

    ALSO

    When this comes out again in 3-D (provided it wasn't originally released that way, or if it was when this comes out in the theaters in 4-D aka hologram) will you fork over the money to the film makers AGAIN for a rehashed selling of a film you saw the first time around that SHOULD HAVE been released the way the re-release will be released?

  • Why are there no subtitle files for the 2001 Norwegian film Lime?

    There are several sites that offer .srt files (subtitle file) for even the most obscure films, but NONE offer one for this film. Ive even looked to the "deep web" and no one has a subtitle file for this film.

    Why exactly is this?

    It's OVER 11 years since the film was released and THIS wouldn't even make sense in a Twilight Zone reality.

  • How many other films do you know that are "set" near, actually take place in, or originate from...?

    ......Los Alamos, NM.? For instance, in the 1984 film Repo Man the plot technically begins in Los Alamos, NM. In the 2010 film Let the Right One In, the story takes place IN a town called Los Alamos,NM. Aside from those two films (please do not include them in your listing as you will disqualify yourself from being selected for the correct answer), what other films are you aware of that are set in, connected to, or whose story line begins in Los Alamos, NM?

  • What do you think of Chloe Moretz?

    I love her and think she is like a shinning beacon from the heavens. She is so sweet and innocent, yet confident and talented. She's just a beautiful light that makes everyday brighter, when you look upon her shinning smile.

    Some people even go as far to call her a "Queen".

    I /b/elieve those people are correct.

    What do you think?

  • How does this make you feel about what Leelee Sobieski has done to poetry, in general?

    Do you remember that fateful day when Leelee Sobieski attacked us on live television...?!?

    Does anyone remember ?

    It was after 9-11 and Jay Leno had been interviewing her on the Tonight Show, when suddenly she committed one of the most offensive attrocities I've ever witnessed on television!

    She read this poem;

    ~This Day And All The Rest~

    One day.

    One.

    More than another.

    The other,

    that day,

    those people,

    too many,

    too personal,

    but not.

    People you know know,

    but you yourself know not.

    Crashing down,

    all frown,

    hurting,

    walking,

    silently screaming,

    slowly running,

    often feeling nothing.

    Seeing the lucky ones fleeing,

    seeing those trapped inside.

    Cry.

    Cry.

    It's OK.

    It's not OK.

    Smile if it's natural

    Feel alive.

    The president speaks,

    The situation reeks an act of war.

    I enter my room, close the door

    Sit here.

    Here where buildings do not fall to the floor.

    we young will experience much more

    future, liberty, the freedom to mope about in poetry.

    My brother I love you.

    Old friends and family too.

    Safe for now glad to know I'm alive with all of you.

    Feel what is real feel later heal.

    One.

    One person feeling the same as all the rest.

    Please let us act and do what is best.

    Mind you, this was read by her completely straight faced. With only momentary poignant pauses in which she subjected Jay and the audience to her somber stare, as if to punctuate every line.

    Yes it's been 8 years, but the trauma I suffered from being subjugated to this trite attempt at a contrived commiseration has left me depressed and at times even suicidal, when I uncontrollably reflect back to that fateful day.

    Would I still be able to bring a lawsuit against Leelee Sobieki and the Tonight Show for mental anguish and emotional trauma?

    ....yes, I'm talking about T0sh.0.
