Thank you! I hope so too. >~< They gave me three tasks by email to complete afterwards, which I had no idea about. haha I don't know anyone who applied for the positions I did. Most people I know were interviewed for the other positions they have open. I'll find out likely today or tomorrow if I got the jobs or not.
Actually, this was one of the better interviews I've had. Which was surprising. Maybe since I already knew them and we wound up laughing about stuff I said. Somehow I've gotten better at hitting the nail on the head on what to say. Sometimes I worry I'm too honest though. This was also the first time my menial work experiences actually factored into the job, although it's mostly unrelated.

Aren't there only a specific amount of times you're allowed to switch regions and then it stops and you're stuck on whatever the last one was? I'm not sure since I don't trust my laptop with my life to try a DVD in it. haha Although I remember getting that message on other devices..
HL: Found a potential new roommate, just waiting on hearing back from him. ^^ He's also totally cool with having a cat around if I decide to foster.
LL: I'm so tired/drained lately. I just want spring to come. I want sunshine. It's been a really bleak, snowy winter and it's taken its toll. I just want to see grass again and be able to walk outside without slipping on ice constantly.

VLC alllows a dvd to be played without worrying about regions. I'm not sure if other players can do the same but it's always been vlc for me and dvds.

I would have thought that as this is a problem with the computer settings it would affect everything, even if you use VLC. That is, while VLC itself doesn't care what region your DVD is, the computer still might not allow it to work. But I guess I don't really know! It might be worth a try.

My computer has never bothered to argue about DVD regions; I can play anything on it thru VLC and Windows Media Player so I suspect the region limitations are only programmed into actual DVD players.
That being said a good quality DVD player will allow you to choose a settings option of "region free" from the manufacturers manual. I bought an NAD DVD receiver L 53 about 12 years ago and its been a fantastic piece of gear, with the ability to switch off region settings.
If some people have to choose settings in their computer software as Arren suggests, that is probably a limitation of the DVD player installed in that particular PC, but all DVD players are governed by their software so as Roar says, you may be able to play a different region DVD using free player software like VLC (which is simply fantastic and worth having anyway!)

Oh, I'll have to look into that. haha I just was switching through three different regions on my computer before and eventually got it stuck on one after it counted down. What is VLC though?

you can click any of these links to download the player and then install it in your pc. then from the software you can play the file.[easy but not bulletproof]
1.Daum Pot PLayer
https://potplayer.daum.net/
2.vlc player
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
3.The KM player
http://www.kmplayer.com/
the number are according to their quality
if you still cant watch [i know you are, its for historical purpose] it then you can do the following
rip the dvd [ it means convert the dvd into some other format and save it to PC, it is 100% legal if you own a dvd][this is the best way but requires time and a powerful pc]
1.Handbrake
https://handbrake.fr/ [normal but better]
2.MediaCoder
http://www.mediacoderhq.com [very good, easy]
then there is another option that lets you reset the counter of your dvd you need to get the exact model number of your dvd and flash the firmware, that way the region counter will be reset.[ its hmm complicated but fun]

VLC is an acronym, it's actual name is videolan player. It's basically a player that was designed for video streaming and, consequently, is able to play almost any type of video or sound files. It's also why region codings don't give it any trouble.

Happy birthday, Roar!!!
HL: My mom took me out to eat! Free food! I'm a fan of free food. AND it was tasty.
LL: I live in an apartment that is separated from a house by a thin plywood wall. The other side of the house is having a party. I was at it, I got done with it, went home, and now it's STILL HAPPENING. I can't escape.

Happy Birthday, Roar!!
Free food is amazing. I've always appreciated it but now I do more than ever. haha Before when my mom bought me food I'd just be like cool, thanks. Now it's like almost crying and thanking her so much.
LL: If I make it through this week with hopefully a job offer then I'll be fine. But there's so much work and stress this week.
I feel bad taking any time to myself and like I should be up before 7am doing work and not sleeping until 2am. It's the only way to get it done, but I've been so tired lately.. Not to mention giving up on the idea of cooking. What is food? What is sleep?
