I know some people in Houston would realy like a win tonight - the tickets are going for pretty good money lol, not to mention MLB would like as many games as possible, because it is all about the money baby!

Stick a fork in the Astros, they are done. Might as well get it over with tonight!

I saw the ball hitting the blue BMC Software sign, which is in play, not over the yellow line. When I watched it live, I saw how it hit off and thought it was a homer based on the direction the ball took. No one else (White Sox coaches or players) seemed to care where it hit and there is no way the second base ump could tell. At the time, I didn't think it would matter since we eventually were up 4-0. Boy was I wrong. I will say this, having only one hit since the 4th inning was poor. And yes, when I saw the fireworks in the 1st inning, I shook my head in disbelief.

I live in Chicago but I wanted the ASTROS to win, but hat's off to the ASTROS for playing hard and congrats to the Sox for winning it.

The Sox wanted it more than the ASTROS did, that's basically why they won.

This is our only championship for awhile since our Basketball team is not that great anymore and our football team stinks.

I have been a life-long die hard Cubs fan so many would not expect this from me, but congrats Sox!! I sure would love to see my north siders win the title in my lifetime, but none the less a title for Chicago is a title for Chicago. Here is how I see it though.......Red Sox last year, White Sox this year, Cubs in 2006! :)

Yea! Sox Win!

Lol, cubs... I also am a CUBS fan, but not die hard, I am not actually a baseball fan but CUBS > SOX. I think ANGELS might make it all the way next year, if they get ahold of KONERKO unless SOX re-sign him, which I know they will.

Yeah, Sox with definately re-sign Konerko. Winning a world series is something why a team holds player.

He is not the BEST player, but he is a very good addition. I think they won because of Ozzie being their manager. He was always great when I used to watch him play, and I think he knows what it takes to make a great team.

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By Jolo · Posted

      No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.

      Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By naap51stang · Posted

      I have NO problem restricting minors having access to apps. Personally, I'd like to see the restriction extend to smartphones too, but that should be the parents anyway. But on the restrictions ? GOOD LUCK enforcing that. Between VPN's, side loading and what not, I'm sure kids will find a way around it.
