It was in the 60s yesterday, and I had the top down on my car. Now it's snowing with 6 inches expected.

That €169 (Alt+0128 for euro symbol) includes VAT, so it should be cheaper here.

If you're happy with the individual frame quality you have now and just want to cut the frame rate, then you can load it into VirtualDub, and select "Frame Rate" from the Video menu. Then pick "Process every third frame (decimate by 3)." Hit OK, and pick "Direct Stream Copy" from the Video menu...

It should be pretty easy to do with VirtualDub and DubMan to automatically schedule it, but I'm not sure how much space you'll be able to save by recompressing them. 1.2MB/min is already pretty low for 640x480@30fps.

It would've been nicer if it was a dual-layer drive.

mubs, I know it's too late, but you can play WMV9 clips without having to install WMP9. You just have to install this codec pack, and they'll play in WMP6.4.

The fonts are fine when I launch it from Gnome; it's just when I'm in KDE that they're tiny. And it's not limited to Firefox - it's any non-KDE app.

I recently installed Gentoo on an old Celeron 400. The install went fine and it's actually fairly responsive. The problem I have is that the fonts in KDE on non-KDE apps, such as Firefox, are microscopic, but in Gnome, they display the proper size. I search Google, and found this, and it helped...

They upgraded MS04-009 to critical.

On Friday, her net worth dropped from $420 million to $335 million.

CityK, it's the CX23881-27 chip, and it is stero on the analog channels. What is a dbx commanding circuit?

It sounded like stereo to me, but I just hooked it up briefly to test it, and I've been using my VCRs tuner instead. I'll check tomorrow to make sure.

I have no complaints about the picture or sound quality of the card, as both are excellent. There's a bug between the Catalyst 4.2 drivers and interlaced resolutions with DxVA enabled, which was causing my reboots, but since I went back to 4.1, I haven't had any problems. Their file converter...

She was inducted into my town's Hall of Fame last year.

In the search window, you have to click on "More advanced options" the click the box for "Search hidden files and folders."

CSI Miami looks great in HD! I wish the program guide was better integrated into the UI. If you press the EPG button, it pops up another window, where you have to click on the TitanTV button. Unfortunately, that opens up you default browser (Firefox, in my case), but TitanTV's one touch...

I think they need to hire a better translator for the manual: "Record is enable that computer is on during reservation recorded time and FusionHDTV is state of record waiting." :roll:

I just installed the card, and some quick observations: If I run it in DxVA mode with the Catalyst 4.2 drivers, I get spontaneous reboots, but it runs fine in software mode. I'll try different drivers when I get time. With the Silver Sensor, I pick up CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, 2 PBSs (1 does HD, and...

I saw that too. Mine's scheduled to come Monday, and I picked up a Silver Sensor indoor antenna today. According to antennaweb.org, I'm 9.4 miles from the ESB, so that should be enough to pick up all the stations except the WB, which broadcasts on VHF at a measly 125 watts. I really want that...

You need SP1 installed for 48-bit LBA support in Windows XP.

Of course ATI announced the HDTV Wonder today, because I just ordered the FusionHDTV III yesterday.

This bug is now fixed in the latest nightly builds.

They were able to get QAM working in their labs, but none of their beta testers have been able to get it to work with their cable companies. Pradeep, where did you order the MyHD from?

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: 5.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.28 That's about where I thought I'd be.

In just over two years, SF has had 50,000 posts (this is 50,001). And the 50,000th? blakewry gets the honors with this post:

"The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat and dishwatery utterances of the man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States." - Chicago Sun Times on Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

I read on AVSforum.com that they demonstrated it during a shareholders' meeting a couple of weeks ago. I hope it's true, but it could just be a rumor.

Now that all the local stations are back broadcasting OTA (albeit some at low power, but I'm close enough that it shouldn't matter), I'm looking into getting an HDTV card, and was wondering if anyone here had experiences with them, especially the software they come with. If it has an easy way to...

Which ones did it take over? I know some of the previous builds took over .gif and .jpg association, but it didn't do that for me this time.

It's my parents' anniversary, and yet another way for the rest of the world to remind me that I'm alone.

In yet another name change, Firebird has been renamed to Firefox, and 0.8 has been released. Any guesses on when the next name change will be?

Why would they do something like that? There's no way you could run it on battery for more than a few minutes, so why even bother? Bragging rights?

While I don't like the idea of licensing to get on the Internet, getting cut off by their ISP until they clean their machine does seem more reasonable to me. They're actively spreading the problem, and possibly affecting the bandwidth of others on their node, if they're on cable. It also gives...

Real Alternative 1.20 and Quicktime Alternative 1.30 were released today.

Yes, you can, as well as the sub they have.

Microsoft has made the beta 64-bit version of Windows XP available to general public for a free download or CD (for cost of shipping). You previously had to have an MSDN subscription to get it. The website is here.

NASA has some nice high resolution pictures of the SR-71 here. I've seen the A-12 they have at the Intrepid Museum, and it really is an impressive looking plane. I have to agree with Will, though, and say that the F-22 looks nicer.

He's done that before, but I thought the security was supposed to be tight.

Yeah, a slow start but great finish. I think the Panthers kicker kicking it out of bounds was what cost them the game. That's something the Giants are quite familiar with. :(

Former Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Berry: "The contagious people of Washington have stood firm against diversity during this long period of increment weather." "I promise you a police car on every sidewalk." "If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very very low crime rate."...

It appears so. I guess they never tested it when the flash memory was loaded with thousands of files, although I don't know why they wouldn't. They've already cleared the files from Opportunity that it accumulated during its trip to Mars. At least is was something they were able to fix, and not...

After deleting 1,700 files from the flash memory, it seems Spirit is getting back to normal: Also, Opportunity is scheduled to leave its platform in about 8 hours.

So who's going to win the Lingerie Bowl? :)

Carolina by 4.

It's on MSNBC.

I heard this on the radio this morning: "A Manhattan lawyer whose catastrophically botched suicide-by-stove attempt blew up three floors of Stuyvesant Town told a judge yesterday he had no idea gas could explode. Full Article.

It's a D-Link DWL-122, and the laptop is running XP Home.

I did some more testing, and it works with SSID broadcasting on, MAC filtering on, and WEP on. But as soon as I turn SSID broadcasting off, it stops working.

I have a screenshot of the Netstumbler graph that shows the dropouts, if anyone wants to see it.
