It’s funny, reading the method he goes through to stop explorer and then restart it.

It’s coincidental that a bash.org quote was posted today that pretty accurately describes Aaron’s instructions:

783472 +(150)- [X]

It’s really simple to watch a move, just open the console, and type ” ffmpeg -i “$(find ~/.mozilla -regex ‘.Cache.‘ -a -not -regex \ ‘.CACHE.‘ -printf ‘%T+ %p\n’ | \ sort -n | awk ‘{ print $2 }’ | xargs file | \ grep -i “Video” | tail -1 | awk -F : ‘{ print $1 }’)” \ -vcodec msmpeg4v2 -b 200 -ab 64 -ar 22050 -s 320×240 \ /tmp/video.avi ANYONE CAN DO IT

After a normal round of updates, my system would completely lock up about thirty seconds after it booted. I tried using system restore to rollback the changes, which worked the first time, but when it happened again I never could get the box working correctly. I switched back to XP Pro, where I will probably stay until there is a Vista SP2 that fixes the festering pile of horse shit.</p> I was running a retail copy of Vista Ultimate for about a month or so, but Windows Update kept breaking it.
