Made by a friend of a friend of a friend for a friend or something, I dont know. But it's really sweet and watching it makes my day.
I'm creating a CD-ROM that is a flash embedded HTML file that autoexecutes when the disc is loaded. Thus far, I have had no issues with the overall project, except for the fact that each time the CD autoexecutes, that commonly annoying Windows security message stating "To help protect your security, IE has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer..."
Are there any workarounds to avoid this message? Note that I am creating a training oriented CD-ROM, where I would prefer if users do not have to adjust there security settings....Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I went to bed around 12:30, tossed and turned (albeit very gingerly) for several hours, and finally gave up on the idea just now. My shoulder is fucked up and I can't find a resting position where it doesn't hurt.

"If I had an older system and had to put my foot down and choose a system with the future in mind, I would probably lean toward the Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 platform for “future proofing†if Oblivion were any indication of future games. If you have a higher-end AMD Athlon 64 system platform right now though, there really isn’t any need to go scrambling to Intel Core 2 at this particular time for gaming. I’d wait it out and see what the future brings.....
Lastly, I would advise everyone that is thinking of rushing out and purchasing their latest upgrade that we are sure to see HUGE pricing slashes out of AMD before the end of the month. "
Basically the graphics card is what makes games go fast, folks. CPU's are still boring as hell. Move along now, nothing to see here. :/

I've got to buy new tires, my slicks are like 2 years old with 2000 miles on em at least. They've never gotten a puncture, which is amazing but they're getting a little scary with the thought that they could go at any minute.
It's been YEARS since I've bought new tires and I'm wondering whats the hot shit now?
