Those freakin artists. What atrocities will they undertake next?

The video was taken with film... the fact that the codec was able to capture the detail of the film grain without distorting it (or having to add back in like later DIVX) shows that it is working extremely well. I'd like to see this codec at sub 1000Kbit/s rates..

I had about $1000 stuff taken from my car the night before a huge test in highschool. They took my stereo, CDs.. school books.. graphing calculator etc... insurance would only cover the things permanently attached to my car (the stereo)... so it was worthless.

would you be interested in selling number 9 by itself?

actually I think the regular 4 channel fortissimo II can do that.. I have a TOSLINK SPDIF in and a TOSLINK SPDIF out and the line in and the mic connector are on the DIN cable. I don't have any TOSLINK gear to test with though.. maybe I can hook up the DVD player to it and test... if you're...

aren't the radeon7000 cards (and original radeons) comparable with the geforce256... and basically just directX7 parts.... since the game requires DX 8.0 it'd be smart to get a DX8 card... say the ATi 9100 or geforce2MX/4MX.

I dont think MS has any qualms about admitting that.

i think there are a few subterranian office spaces available within a 10 minute drive fom my home... In Kansas City most houses have basements, which is a good thing. A finished basement is a nice addition to any house. The house I'm living in has a walk out basement that stays very...

Has anybody considered a partially sub terranian house? It makes sense to me to have say half of your house underground, or even most of it. The earth is at a constant 53F? It just seems so much more economical to have the Earth help insulate your home and keep its temperature regulated. I...

yeah the equipment isn't anything new (the 310's been around for atleast 3 years I believe) But for somebody wanting to network a few computers easily it would be nice. At minimum they could keep the NICs and sell the Hub and put the money towards a new 100Mbit switch.

System Requirements Minimum Requirements: 450MHz AMD / Intel Processor 96 MB RAM 16MB Direct3D Compatible Graphics Card Recommended System: 700 MHz AMD / Intel Processor 128 MB RAM 32 MB Direct3D Compatible Graphics Card Generic requirements: DirectX 8.0 DirectSound compatible sound card...

Designing a codec is a trade off.. you can design codecs that have a very good filesize to image quality ratio, however this is at the cost of higher CPU usage from the more complex algorithms used to compress the video. The trick is to develop the most efficient codec so that the videos using...

i meant cdrlabs.com

well if you don't like Intel strong arming, what about Via. I've heard thay do it as well.... that leaves SiS and Nvidia, and uh AMD.... gee.... Personally I don't think I'm going to buy a chipset based on the merits of its CEO. On the cpu side you've got the winchip, the crusoe.. the athlon...

I'm glad we don't have any ad banners on this site. I hate the side scrolling flash ads on cdrinfo.com's forums. I was very shocked when I visited their forums (1st time in a month or so) and say that the ad was for a product that illegally defeats pay-per-view cable authentication. Ads are...

oh yeah, they also said it was a pentium MMX... which btw also did not exist at the stated time they gave.

Have you ever had someone tell you rediculous uptime stories... I had one person tell me their NT 4 server at a university had been up for 7 odd years before it finally went down because the building caught fire... Unfortunately for the story teller NT 4 was something like 5 years old at the...

I think what they were more trying to do was set precidents so that they wouldn't have to keep filing painfull lawsuit after lawsuit. Once the precidents are set it's easy to stop the piracy p2p programs from popping up. I personally don't find anything wrong with software that uses the p2p...

gunning? pfft! I'm gonna beat it! too bad I don't have a UPS... there have been several times that the power has flickered and my other computers have turned off while the lil compaq chugs away. I'll assume that's a sign of a good PSU and a low power drawing system.

Those are sleek....

Tea, I have the only 2 good compaqs made me thinks.... They are both Compaq presario 860's (one's a CDS: mening it has a SB16 SCSI and 2x SCSI CD-ROM drive) One has an intel 66 DX2 and the other a Cyrix 66 DX2. One collects dust while the other... well.. im only keeping it up because I wnat...

Along the same lines I was looking for an IBM NIC... for a ps/2. Of course the PS/2 used the microchannel bus (MCA). IBM would gladly sell me a 10baseT MCA NIC for a mere $100 new. 3com had the same NIC for about 1/3rd the price... unfortunately I trashed the PC and a few days later found the...

This is the 1st time that I have heard about a different warranty on the replacement product for something like a HDD.. or maybe anything. I think that's why it's generated so much attention. It's not acceptable to most of us. Mark, you may be right that Maxtor had the 1st no quibble HDD RMA...

Why hasn't anybody mentioned M/S yet? affraid you'll lose your kickbakcs? I have been under the impression that if a large vendor such as Dell, HP, Compaq, Gateway for example sell anything other than Windows with their PCs (not counting servers) that they will lose the cushy deals they have...

i think matrox uses the letters MGA as the prefix for their gfx chips... the Matrox millenium / millenium II I know used the MGA prefix (my millenium II PCI has DVI and VGA if that's what you mean by dual port) and I'm pretty sure all of these cards have chips that start with the MGA prefix...

Isn't VGA and MGA and MCGA, etc etc. a standard? For instance to meet the VGA standard a vid card would have to be able to output 640x480@16 colors @60Hz analog. And for a monitor to be considered VGA capable it would have to be able to display this correctly. Same applies to XGA, MGA, MCGA...

yeah, I've heard of similar problems with maxtor warranty lengths. I think Merc even made a post or 2 about it. This is one of the reasons I've never bought a maxtor drive, the other being that some were terribly slow while others of the same capacty/model line were fast (this was back when...

yeah, that seems like a real boner to me.. ethernet costs what $5 to integraate into it? and will make the machine usabe for many times longer...

The new version has a "sponsor screen" it's a 2 second or so splash screen that opens when you start the program.. I don't think you see it when you use Ultimate zip through the explorer shell extentions... only when you open up the program's main interface. anyway.. the version I have doesn't...

I use UltimateZip v2.7 Beta 3 http://www.ultimatezip.com/ It's an excellent little program. fast, configurable, works on everything...

you have a brother Tea?

After dealing with Guillmot and spending $25 to RMA a tnt2 (i didnt realize the phone call was international) that they just sent back to me without fixing and after dealing with linksys refusing to honor their warranty at all I really am not up to taking any more crap. IBM has fully honored...

yeah, i havent noticed a slowdown for a while

yeah, the p4 celeron isn't nearly as competative as the pIII based ones were... unfortunately. I think Merc's rule of thumb of 25% applies well for the p4 based celerons

I think Celeron's are good. They are 90% of the power for 50% the price. near their initial release back in the slot 1 and early socket 370 days they were sometimes faster than the competing pII/pIII CPUs that were available and they were always faster than the equivalently priced pII/pIII...

i don't like it at all... i want my themes... i want options...

well... i guess I have had to RMA 2 WD 1000JB's.. but it was to the retailer (www.mwave.com). They were both DOA and they were both mwave's fault. I'm glad they don't have the same policy as newegg when it comes to warranty replacements.

i know IBM doesn't do the limited warranty on replacements.. I've heard newegg does have a limited warranty. e.g. you can get the one you bought replaced within the warranty period( i think it's 30 days) But the replacement is not covered by any newegg warranty at all (even if the original...

I don't see how that's legal at all! I'm no longer buying WD or maxtor drives, period. I'm sticking with seagate and IBM, and I'm considering Samsung as a serious option as well.

I'd keep a close eye on her

As far as I know the warranty on the RMA'd device is only good until the warranty from the original runs out... e.g. you buy a drive that had a 3 year warranty... 2 years in you RMA it.. the RMA drive basically continues the warranty for 1 more year.

doh! i completely missed the point... yes the <pre> tag is exactly what you want.. of course you could throw in my CSS to get the desired cutsie extras :wink:

Try something like this: <body bgcolor="#000044" text="white"> <font face="Arial"> asdfasdf Code: <SPAN style="{position: relative; left: 0.25 in; color: gold; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: lightblue; padding: 10 px}"> this stuff between SPAN tags should...

I enjoy a good Sci-Fi flick... John Carpenter's: The Thing (the kurt russel version) 2001 a space odyssey Them Forbidden plannet War of the Worlds The original Time machine Fahrenheit 451 (The George Orwell book was better) oh, and who can forget The Incredible Shrinking Man Twilight Zone...

That sounds terrible... but I think my friend already played that hand and ran into the do you still have your reciept crap so he had to fold his cards. I should call them tonight or tomorrow... depending on their hours.

best i could get was 5 kills and 2 injuries...

in moz it gives me an error on the high res images saying that: The image "xxxxx" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. I'm thinking they botched the pics and only certain (more robust) image handlers are capable of displaying the images.

I already did that... like I said, I don't think it's more than two years old. and I am almost positive that linksys didn't even produce this model 5 years ago, so it MUST be under warranty. On the PCB there is a place for "Start" as well as the lot number and a few other details. The lot...

Hey, my friend bought a Linksys 8 port hub from ebay about a year ago and it stopped working for him recently. He tried contacting Linksys tech support and they went through the standard motions and determined that it had failed and needed to be replaced. (Hub turns on and resets, but only port...
