Focus stealing has led to me typing a work login password into an msn window <_< thankfully it was a friend.

hotkeys can be turned off under accessibility options in the control panel, well they can on win xp, don't know about vista. You may have to change some start menu options to access the control panel in vista, as in xp service pack 3 its an option in the start menu that turns on/off the control panel.

So today, I experienced a bit of "Vista rage" myself. A wile back, I re-installed the Vista side of my laptop. I got it to the point where I was at the customized OEM desktop and I assumed the job was done. Then today, I went to go visit my mom, help her clean house and I figured I would use her net connection that is ~10X the speed of mine to install all the Vista updates. When I booted Vista at her house, the thing told me I had to activate or buy a new product key. The fun part is that they don't even let you log into your own machine unless you activate, but I didn't know that the network drivers weren't installed by the OEM recovery media (WTH). So, I had to call them because it was impossible to activate online. I didn't get the chance to do the updating. Maybe I should just start browsing the web with an unpatched system. :)

Nah, it isn't dead until they stop letting people activate it. :) I just wish I sprung for a netbook with graphics that don't suck under Linux. Ever see a 1.6 ghz machine struggle to play 480P video? I'm pretty sure I saw 486-class machines playing full-screen FMV back in '95.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.
