Edit: As I suspected, most fines are not paid in full. Some are even reimbursed, with interest.

Re-enabling DMA on your optical/DVD drive

If your drive is stuck in PIO mode even though “Use DMA” is selected, here’s how to fix it. Basically you delete a registry value in this key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Santa, please bring me the following…

  • Pantone Huey - color calibration tool
  • Lumiquest Mini Softbox - for diffusing light
  • Manfrotto 3373 Lightstand - for holding a strobe/umbrella
  • Stroboframe Flash Mount Adapter - holds the strobe
  • Manfrotto 2905 Umbrella Bracket - mounts umbrella to lightstand
  • Westcott 43″ Collapsible Umbrella

And they’re all reasonably priced! Or you can just me a Wii and Zelda.

Please coordinate amongst the individual St. Nickolaus’. Or let me know what you’re getting me Mr. Claus and I’ll mark it off the list :D.

Sunday TV of Note

MTV’s True Life: I’m a Competitive Eater (Ep. 28) - Followed Kobayashi and others as they prepare for the annual July 4th hot dog eating contest on Coney Island. The guy can regularly put down 20lb meals! And he’s got washboard abs! His secret? Gastroptosis, and strong mental and physical conditioning.

The Simpsons: The Haw-Hawed Couple (Ep. 386) - Lisa and Homer read the Simpson’s version of The Half-Blooded Prince while Bart is conflicted about his new best-friend status with Nelson. I’d say as good as the Tommaco episode.
