Title: Wha? Buh? Meuha? NOOO!!!
Post by: an0n on April 30, 2004, 04:51:30 pm
I just wasted 3 hours downloading an ep of Enterprise. I say wasted because I right-clicked, Open With, DIVX, Click.

Nothing. Not just nothing, it actually destroyed the file. No 'into the recycle bin'. No 'moving it accidentally'. It's just gone. Completely and utterly.

Piece of ****.

Any ideas?

I'm guessing you've searched the PC, right clicked to undo last action and all the usual crap?

In which case, download it again :p

Get yourself a copy of PC File Inspector, scan the drive and try to recover it?

Normally ScanDisk is pretty good at grabbing 'missing' stuff but I tried to run it and Windows started *****ing at me about not being able to run it while in Windows.

I had this happen to me on a Mac with Ilustrator files, but I've never heard of it on the PC.

Windows killed my My Pictures folder t'other day. Wasn't in the bin, wasn't any where else. It was just gone. Luckily I had a recent back up...

Try MP Classic, it's smaller and faster than just about any other media player out there and will take all the codecs WMP does, it even plays WMA and WMV files if memory serves.

*sits and cries and bangs his head against the wall over and over and over*

I redownloaded it. I watched half of it. The laptop cut out because it was overheating. I rebooted. I played the file again. It kicked up an error. It removed the file again.

Normally I'd just be annoyed, but my back hurts, my head hurts, I feel sick and I'm tired. I may just cry.

Enterprise? fall on your knees and pray as much as you can for that display of goodness. Pray whatever god you prefer, or pray me.

you haven't been watching the last season have you?

Venom, the last season was awesome. No other Trek series besides TOS can compare to this. Well, maybe season 6 of DS9 where the DomWar came to its peak... :p

But that's still startek, with pyjamas and latex headed aliens ( condom heads :p )? With 2 cents technobabling and frying pans? Which challenges even Buck Rogers on the Kitch scale?
Ok, it has Scott Bakula, but that's not enough for me :p

Nothing I have ever seen, short of 1950s SF movies, can even compare to Buck Rodgers in campiness.

Batman?

Wait, you're right. The Batman TV series is tied with Buck Rodgers.

It's supposed to be campy, they only took the basic premise from the novella it's based on.

There's no Uber-Asian Empire that has conquered the USA
There no Dis Rays or Hover Beams
The Heroes don't have a all-purpose wonder metal that make carbon nanotubes look like breakfast flakes

In short, while I love it *beedybeedybeedy*, Buck Rogers is in name only.

ok, there's still the startrek cheap aliens, for the most part, though some of the xindi are cool I especaly like the Aquatics, too bad they don't show them that much, the insectoids are also fairly cool, but a bit on the cliced side.
hows this, the Enterprise has had sevral new ass holes torn into it, it has been a flying debris feild for the lastfour eppisodes (a new record for star trek I beleve) they have a crackhead vulcan slut for a first officer, and the cheif engeneer is starting to have halucinations about his sister (killed in a Xindi atack in the season premere along with 7 million other people) and one of his officers who was killed in a recent eppisode, unlike every other trek put out there are no expendable redshirts, every time someone dies, they make a big deal out of it, show a funeral with most of the crew present.

I have a feeling they'll be killing off Mayweather or Hoshi sometime soon.

They've been drifting into the background for a while now and they're just begging to be kidnapped and raped by some Klingon raiding party.

Nah. Romulans. Need to get into the whole Romulan War storyline.
Title: Wha? Buh? Meuha? NOOO!!!
Post by: an0n on May 01, 2004, 01:45:23 pm
I think they're building up to that.

Enterprise will ream the Builder's and piss them off no end. Then the bald, yellow-skinned wierdos will kick off the Romulan War to try and get Earth that way.

I bet the shadow guy is a Romulan, that's been my guess most of the time, ether that or he's Daniels.

It's Picard's stupid clone :p Or perhaps Khan....

Nah, you're probably right.

It'd be rather funny if they destroyed the Sphere Builders, made peace with the Xindi, then went cruising out of the Expanse and right into a Suliban fleet.

...and get saved by a combined force of Andorians and Vulcans lead by Commander Shras(sp?) and thus is born the Federation.

it's Shran, not Shras

Oh yeah, I never really watched season II. What ever happened to the Sulliban?

They ignored them to go find the Xindi.
