@Arizona Hot: Eh? What elections?

-IainB (November 09, 2016, 07:15 PM)

You being in New Zealand, I can see why you're in denial about Clinton losing in the elections here. What other reason could you have for denying knowledge about someone as loud and blatant as Donald Trump.

I call this Shadow Mountains. My regular camera wouldn't focus on these mountains(too much sun glare probably), so I used my phone camera. It doesn't have zoom so even though it takes reasonably high-resolution pictures, the resolution of the cropped part is much less. Still a decent picture though, and I didn't have to use a panorama program to get it. The original picture is below.

When trying to update MediaInfo from 0.7.61 to 0.7.89 today, the update had problems and I had to reinstall the previous version I had. Has anyone here had this problem? 0.7.89 is the latest version and the installer could do both 32-bit and 64-bit installs. I was installing on my 32-bit machine. I tried to install on my 64-bit machine with the installer from SourceForge and had no problems. I downloaded the SourceForge version on my 32-bit machine and it still had problems so I aborted the install, but when I checked the version it said it was the 0.7.89 version and worked fine.
