Utility to disable powersaving?

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-03 16:42

are there any utilities out there to automatically disable the screensaver (or more specifically, having the monitor automatically turn off with the power saving options), while any kind of video is playing? some programs have options to automatically turn off the screensaver, but not powersaving. my monitor is kinda on its last legs and my electric bill is too high so ideally i'd like to keep it off as much as possible.

winamp for example has an option to turn off the screensaver while the video is playing, but it doesn't seem to affect the "monitor off" powersaving mode.

having to turn it on and off manually all the time is a pain in the ass because inevitably i forget to turn it off, and the monitor shuts off in the middle of a movie, i turn it off, then forget to turn it back on when im done and leave it running all night.

You don't need a utility. Assuming you have Windows, right-click the desktop, go to 'Properties', then click the 'Screen Saver' tab, then click 'Power...'. There's a combobox next to 'Turn off monitor:' that has a 'Never' option.

Use a real video player that turns crap off.

Use a real video player, like Media Player Classic, and not that Windows Mierda Player, CockTime or RealFag bullshit.

I know your skin has a hue to it. But you are still not classified as a person of color by the majority of people descended from europe.

White people are called "white", It's not a PC thing, White people called themselves white, Black people "Black", Native Americans "Red Man", Asians "Yellow" and so on.

Remember the water fountains and bathrooms labeled "White" and "Colored"?

"White" labeled stuff was only for use of white people. Stuff marked "colored" was for everyone else, mostly black folk. Everybody else was Colored People or "People of Color". That is why I call people that are not white people of color. That, and the fact that most of the races I can think of have either been enslaved or opressed by people of european descent.

Remember Hawaii? It used to be a soverign country with a royal family and such. In comes USA with the "Bayonette Constitution" incident. Come, be part of the US, That's the only way we can protect you from our merchants. You'll still be free, we promise...

Royal family joins. Goodby royal family, now dance for us civilized people of yet another peacefull civilization!

Anyhoo, Violence IS the only thing people understand. It's a universal language that says ACT RIGHT. If Hawaii was capable of using violence to get greedy american businessmen to act right, they would still be a soveriegn country today. Read a book.

I don't give a damn, I just call things by their name, and I have colour. Might even get picky and say I'm pink, not white, and you're brown, not black.

Remember Hawaii?
Yes, when white people do shit, it's white people. When a nigger does shit, it's just one person who happens to be black but could have perfectly been white, amirite?

Read a book.
Reading books won't make a nigger any better.

PROTIP: Don't use automatic power off shit, just push the goddamn button when you walk away/return.

Don't change these.
