For what little it's worth, I still hate mine.

You just need to complete the Jack Sparrow outfit and you'll be rather popular.

Internal. Care to spill the beans on why you're after a camera?

I only measured ~1000:1 contrast ratio after calibration with the Spyder3, which is quite a bit off from what TFT Central measured. However, with my new x-rite i1Display Pro it measures 2345.2:1 after calibration.

They make a fairly noticeable difference in my experience.

That's the stubby model. Mine is the longer one. I didn't have any issues updating the firmware, but I have only done it once. The firmware in the units I have can connect to a FTP server to save the footage so you don't need a NVR.

I only have the 3 Dahua models I purchased previously (mentioned earlier in the thread). They save their footage to a FTP server running on my 24/7 "server" in the basement.

Nonsense... When you find your neighbor has left his house unlocked while out on vacation you put up a big sign to alert him.

That wooshing sound you heard wasn't the toilet flushing, but the joke flying over your head.

Did he mention using bath salts?

Are you going to make it though the day and still be employed?

My buddy sent that to me a few days ago. I enjoyed it.

Mine is also not affected.

The answer is in your own post.

You're in luck. Most grocery stores will be happy to sell you some for a very reasonable price.

I'd guess derailment...

Unicomp basically is the remnants of IBM's keyboard division.

My current job doesn't have much free time. My previous job did. I got in a lot of surfing (web) and planning of non work related projects. Like things I wanted to do in my spare time. Building speakers, home improvement projects, new PC builds, etc. Do you have to keep busy / look busy or...

My memory isn't that good. I figured there was already a relevant thread on monitors, so I broke out my Google-fu and found this one.

Why not? There's nothing wrong with a little thread rebirth. Don't threads get better with age or is that just alcohols?

This engine may sound good, but you'd never know it from the audio in this video. It's terrible.

I received a refurbished BenQ GW2450 monitor this week. IMHO, for $118 shipped it's quite the monitor bargain. I wish it was 1920x1200 instead of 1920x1080, but the ~3000:1 contrast ratio is pretty nice compared to the 800:1 to 1000:1 panels in most monitors. No dead or stuck pixels either...

Where did you hear about this, and what are they planning to do?

You only shop at Costco?

ESD is like the boogeyman that gets blamed for the otherwise unexplainable.

I'm not sure what monitors you're looking at, but most I've seen still have DVI. However, you can get DVI to HDMI adapters or cables since they are electrically compatible.

And then there are companies like the one I work for. They're trying to save money everywhere in all sorts of petty ways. To the point where they've told us the coke/diet coke and bottled water in the fridge is only for visitors, not for employees. But, the IT department contacts me the other...

At this point I'd say they're probably the latter. I'll know more after I compare all 4 pairs of the identical model.

It seems unlikely. He only had one pair to sell, and everything is spot on identical to the other pair, the packaging and everything.

Maybe, but that seems like a pretty crappy thing to do. It's not his fault.

So I have a pair of headphones I really like. I thought they offered great performance for the price. They're a pair of AKG K540 headphones that I picked up from a seller on ebay around a year ago for just under $80 new in box. I was turned on to this model by a coworker who had a pair. I...

That hasn't happened for me. I've clean installed with upgrade media more than once without any issue. Activation worked too. One of the times I had to change a regkey first though.

You could try here.

The Blu-Ray for Oblivion includes a Dolby Digital True-HD 18bit 96kHz 5.1 isolated audio track on the disc of just the musical score by Joseph Trapanese and M83 (Anthony Gonzalez). It's quite fantastic. Time Magazine has a short write-up on the making of it.

I guess you should have kept it simple.

I've already heard that you want to charge good NiMH batteries at 1C because at lower charge rates the deltaV detection may not work correctly.

Did you try Clonezilla?

See, there you go again... Talking about your organs. :rofl:

You've been discussing them all along... Beside, now that they're removed, they're not your organs.

I was going to post pretty much the same thing this morning, but didn't. I'm glad to see someone else had it covered.

Then how do you click? Doesn't it not have any buttons?

Adhesive isn't going to work. You need something in there to force the printed flex cable to make contact with the metal fingers in the connector via pressure.

Was that the lowest quality version of that you could find? :p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P08B_lBUL0E

I discovered some of their videos the other day. They're pretty good.

No update?

That isn't very well suited for rear projection per the description. I think you'd be better off with a rear projection screen and a motorized roll up front projection screen that comes down in front of it.

So from which side is he going to watch the image reversed? I'm not aware of any sort of screen material that will do what he wants.

He wants a rear projection screen that also can be viewed from the same side as the projector?

Yeah, I know they can be hidden most of the time. I did that on my work laptop also. That doesn't mean I should want to use it though.

Yikes... That's likely going to be expensive.
