Just mention Microsoft. Honestly, don't even bother looking for excuses there...

If you’re more into that atmospheric side of Drum and Bass, you really need to dive into High Contrast, Alix Perez, Makoto, Cyantific, Klute, Teebee, or Calix... and honestly, don't sleep on the old-school legends either—think Bukem, Bad Company, EZ Rollers, Doc Scott, Fabio & Grooverider, Adam F, or Ed Rush & Optical.

Whatever, man. They just decided to chase the paycheck, and there you have it—commercial pop-breakbeat mixed with some light guitar scratching equals big bucks. It's a damn shame, really—they actually had some killer stuff going when they first started releasing music.

Look, this thing is totally free and honestly, it’s a solid bit of software: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Daniel Booth37 said:Look, he didn't break the 19-second barrier just yet, but mark my words—that day is coming. Besides, he’s already admitted he wasn't exactly thrilled with how that race went. 😂

I’ve got a hunch he’s actually clocked a sub-19 somewhere already—maybe he just hit a lucky streak at a meet with a lightning-fast track or something. 👍

Jeremy White69 said:Puff, saying 3:35 for the gold sounds ridiculous—and honestly, I’ve been wondering lately why everyone assumes they're just going to cruise to a win at the finish line. Like, what's the actual reason some runners don't just push it "normally" and clock a 3:32 or whatever their max gear actually is? 🤷

And don't even get me started on those athletes who have an incredible finishing kick but somehow slow down the pace mid-race—it makes zero sense. The Kenyan runners specifically baffle me; both of them could easily drop a 3:30 if they wanted to, yet they don't have much of a chance in a sprint finish, so instead, they just run these weirdly paced races. 😕

Honestly, if I were in her shoes dealing with that test, I’d probably just lose my mind and tell them all where to shove it.

we seriously need a new Jackson to show up in this event... otherwise, the whole thing is just a lost cause.

The men's high jump has been stuck in a rut for years now—honestly, it’s probably the one discipline I find completely unwatchable.

Edward Evans68 said:..well, she looks like a guy, and honestly, she runs like one too. She just absolutely crushed the competition. 😁

But look—back in October last year at the 6th junior Commonwealth Games, she clocks a 2:04, which was her personal best—about a second slower than this other South African girl, Juanee Cilliers, who’s actually their first junior (and she's a full year younger than Caster). If you drop 10 seconds in just 10 months... something stinks. I mean, if we were talking long-distance stuff, shaving off 10 seconds isn't a big deal, but for this? It feels like a bit much.

She does have that 400m sprinter build, though—reminded me of how different Bekele's physique is compared to all those other scrawny types running the 10,000m.

Maybe it's some kind of genetic anomaly, but we're still waiting on the results from the gender testing conducted by World Athletics.

Daniel Booth37 said:I can't quite put my finger on why, but this race setup seems tailor-made for hitting fast times. Both men and women face 10 hurdles, but the spacing between them differs—9.1m versus 8.3m. My guess? It’s just to account for the longer stride length of the average male sprinter.

The 110m for men has been the gold standard—roughly 120 yards—ever since the discipline was first cooked up in England, whereas women have dealt with all sorts of weird combinations of distances and hurdle counts. Eventually, 80m with 8 hurdles became the norm, and then 100m solidified as the standard once it was officially embraced as an Olympic event—maybe at Tokyo or Mexico City, I can't recall exactly... though those 80m hurdles were lower than what we see in the 100m today. Back then, there wasn't one single governing body for everyone; women had their own federation, so things were a bit of a mess until the standards were finally synchronized.

And what on earth was that absolute disaster during the 1500m last night? I can't stand those races where they just jog around aimlessly for most of it and then try to sprint the final 300m. 🤮

Daniel Booth37 said:Sure, Bekele is arguably the greatest long-distance runner we've ever seen—no argument there—but he hasn't actually shifted the goalposts for the sport. I mean, comparing his records to something like a 9.58 in the 100m is just... well, it's apples and oranges.

Look, time will eventually decide what counts as a real benchmark and what doesn't, so let's please stop trying to compare things that simply aren't comparable. 😉

Comparing Bolt and Bekele really comes down to this—they’re both basically untouchable in their respective lanes. We're talking about world records that feel pretty much bulletproof right now, like nobody else is even in the same zip code. That said, Usain still has some catching up to do if he wants to match Kenenis (or Haile Gebrselassie) when it comes to the total haul of World Championships and Olympics titles.

Jeremy Johnson30 said:Biggest disappointments (surprises) so far:

1. Yelena Isinbaeva (honestly, maybe stupidity of the year—or decade—for skipping those "lower" heights; that arrogance and underestimating the field totally backfired)
2. Krisztián Pars (was easily the best this year, yet walks away without even a medal)
3. Jacus van Zyl (had the best result of the season, then just tanks out in the semifinals)
4. Angela Taylor (looked like a lock for the finals—maybe even gold—before the meet, but ended up crashing out in the first round)
5. Gulnar Galkin (the undisputed queen of the steeplechase lately, and she leaves empty-handed)
6. Meseret Defar (everyone assumed she was a safe bet for at least a medal, if not the gold, but she finished with nothing)
7. Nadezhd Alekhin (held the top seasonal mark, then somehow jumps a whole meter shorter in qualifying and misses the final entirely)

I’d also throw in Dobrinski—didn't even snag a medal in the decathlon... the hammer throw final was an absolute train wreck; I haven't seen a more pathetic showing in twenty years, though the shot put was actually decent. 👍

I was also pretty surprised by the crowd in the race walking—honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if half of Berlin were out on the streets during the marathon. 🙂

Olivia Murphy24 said:well, I’m kind of on the same page—but hey, when a woman tells me to write something, I write it. ☕

Alright then, let’s hear this "insult" you're talking about—this is getting boring... did you at least screw him? You know, the way that really gets them going? 🙂

There’s a free converter right here if you want to try it—you can actually use this thing to convert stuff into SVCD format: http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/

Maybe try converting those original files to MPEG-2 first—WMV just isn't the best format for this... you could also try using Handbrake to whip up an SVCD.

The options look fine to me... but I have to ask—are those MP4 files actually playing alright when you run them through a media player? Did you run into any weird error messages when you were adding them to the DVD compilation?

Look, just—search for the NeroHistory.log file and then just copy and paste the error description right here...
Don't go pasting the entire damn log, though—it's way too massive—just grab the specific part from whenever you were actually burning that disc.

Seriously, just read the rules before you go dropping some "awkwardly timed" question on us: http://www.american-forum.com/showthread.php?t=458515

This is the exact memory you're looking for:

The key thing is that it needs to be DDR2 and PC533—you might see it listed in some catalogs under the PC2-4200 label, but don't let that trip you up, it’s the same stuff...
