Second that. VLC is a great app and quite reputable. Avoid Cnet downloads at all cost.
I was looking for a DVD burner, found one, and didn't stop to Google whether or not there were known issues (which I normally do), just installed it.
Stupid, stupid, stupid...

Cool, thanks. It was one of those days that started with, "All I wanted to do was..."
And you know how that usually works out.

There's also infra recorder[^] which is neat and fast.
Did I mention that it's open source, and so you could be rest assured it doesn't come with any unwanted crap.

Yep, that comes under the heading of "Nothing is ever easy" 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Download any stuff like this from Ninite[^] - one stop installs with all of the crapware taken out. If it ain't on Ninite, it ain't worth installing!

6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I?
Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

You are casting nasturtiums against poodles.
The Standard Poodle is a hound, a hunter if you like.
They are very close to greyhounds and are fast, very fast.
They are also very clever.
The long curly hair was bred in so that they didn't hurt themselves whilst running through the black forest (yes, they are German, not French, think of the name and say it with a kraut accent).
Of course what people don't know is what their quarry was.
They were bred to hunt Lions.
Not many dogs would chase down and kill lions, but poodles did!
Now I know what you are thinking, "There are no lions in the Black Forest" and that just goes to show what a good job the poodles did!
Why were there lions in the Black Forest?
Simples.
The Romans were crap at fighting in forests, especially ones they were unfamiliar with, so they threw in the lions to scare the Frankish Hoards into surrendering.

Funnily enough, a quick bingle shows no mention of lions but instead that poodles are good at hunting the ferocious TRUFFLE!

So, by that reasoning...
Since Daleks were made to exterminate and poodles exterminated the Black Forest lions, does that make you Poodle Dave?

I thought it made him Dalek Lightbulb?

You are welcome[^]
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

Thank you.
But I still can't replicate the stern German accent so it still comes out as bad French Accent.

Quote: bred to hunt Lions
Our late Poodle, officially "Skippius Maximus", or "Skippy" for short, had a thing for a stuffed toy lion and would drag it around and attack it on a regular basis - completely ignoring all other stuffed toys. Now I understand.
He was, otherwise, very intelligent. Also, because of his curly hair he did not shed all over the place (unlike our Irish Setter) and didn't stink when wet (also unlike our Irish Setter). Poodles are cool.

Irish Setter: Uh? What's a light bulb? Gimme a biscuit!
Great Dane: Sorry about breaking that bulb with my tail wagging!

Labradoodle(like mine): What does changing a light bulb have to do with rubbing my belly?

If you think dogs can change lightbulbs, you're barking.
