How to Play Blu-Ray Discs in Windows 8/7, OSX, or Linux

I never was much for Blu-ray, but I finally got a device that reads them. Thankfully, it’s really easy to play blu-ray discs these days.

Here’s one way to play Blu-Ray discs for free on your computer:

  1. Download VLC
  2. Download the files on this page, and place them in the locations mentioned.

 

Bonus: If you want to rip your Blu-ray discs, Lifehacker has a nice how-to.

The Best Fast Food Cookies Are…!

Note: This post is a perfect compliment to my post from several months back of “Which Milk Brand is the Best?“

I have had an addiction to fast food cookies since college, where these delicious sugary snacks (and chocolate milk) would keep me awake even through even the most boring of economics lectures. I have been particularly loyal to one brand in particular, but I felt that I needed to thoroughly examine the other options to see if I was missing out on even better cookies.

Fast Food Cookies Evaluated:

  • McDonald’s
  • Subway
  • Jack in the Box
  • Taco Del Mar

The following stores do not sell cookies, at least in Seattle: Burger King, K.F.C (even though it’s on their nutrition guide), Wendy’s, Taco Time.

Evaluation Process:

  1. Each store’s standard would be judged by the all-time, most popular favorite cookie: the chocolate chip.
  2. Each cookie would be eaten as received from the store, and then heated at home later.
  3. Three Judging categories: Taste, Texture, and Value/Price

Fix iSCSI Blu-Ray Blue Screen of Death 12e

I recently bought an LG NAS which had a pretty cool feature: a Blu-Ray player accessible to my network.

The only problem was every time I would try to access it to play the Blu-Ray, the computer would crash with a blue screen.

The Solution: Turn off Window’s iSCSI Initiator and replace it with a better working one.
Download the StarWind Software iSCSI Initiator.
