That's true. In fact the my-HD and most other tuner cards don't have component inputs to record from a digital cable box anyway. For timeshifting HD, you really need a D-VHS deck, or one of the HD-PVRs that either the cable or dish companies provide. Of course with the latter options, you are...

If people are too dim to be able to read English (and Spanish I'm sure) instructions and only punch one hole then they don't deserve the right to vote.

Amazing that 4 years on, people still bitch cause Bush won by the rules. Electoral college isn't a new thing ....

I just ordered a MyHD MDP-120. I was thinking of getting a second ReplayTV, but then again my only signal source is OTA, and I have pretty crappy reception. So I thought I might as well try for HD reception, and be able to capture to the computer. I discounted the AccessDTV card because...

I had a Nortel 24 port 10/100 switch, rack mountable with three of those cursed 40mm fans. Annoyingly loud. I now have a Dell with no fans.

Are you sure about the HDTV AIW? I know they have the component out dongle, but a quick Google revealed nothing of one that can tune HDTV. Would be a sweet card. Apparently the DVICO cards do have some driver issues but they are a continous work in progress.

The point is that in the 44->48->44 conversion, you are losing quality/introducing artifacts. If AC97 just left the bloody 44 alone, there wouldn't be any loss.

I believe each monitor is limited to 1280*1024 max rez when running Parhelia tri-head. And you can't do three DVI, I believe it's two DVI one analog, or perhaps two analog and one DVI, I can't remember. Think it's the latter.

I believe if you have a pair of front stereo speakers with excellent imaging, and sit exactly in the same position, right in the center of them, then a center speaker could be done away with. Es[ecially if you are a foot away from the computer screen/speakers. But if you are slightly off-axis...

Yeah the Intel 1000BT Server chipset in my Dull 400SC used PRONo something as the management tool exe. When I first saw it listed in Task Manager I thought I was infected with some dirty virus/trojan. Imagine my surprise when it went away after I closed the Proset utility :)

The guy making the DIMMS? Is it some kind of backyard operation?

Re: FINALLY TOOK THE JUMP!! I would perhaps swap the Adaptec SCSI RAID for an LSI 320-1 or similar, a few $$$ more but good performance.

Don't panic!

Not safe for work http://www.caadacforums.com/apfn/sb/jane.gif

Nah, already have a 5040 with a 200GB drive, next purchase will prob be an HDTivo when they are finally released.

That's what a ReplayTV/Tivo is for. It's usually right around 30 secs between plays, so as soon as one down is finished, hit the 30sec skip and away you go right into the action again. And you can skip past all the half time crap as a bonus :)

Wow, what a game. Damn shame that retard Panthers coach went for the two point conversion so early, prob cost them the game, or at least overtime.

Guess your neighbour hasn't seen the Wildcat4 7110 option :) Should be a little faster than the FX3000.

We just finished the snowiest January on record, about 65" for the month - tho I'm sure nothing compared to Finnish standards :)

PCI-X 133MHz slots (not to be confused with forthcoming PCI-Express) are good for a theoretical 1GB/sec. Opterons have plenty of headroom yet, I would anticipate them moving up to 3GHz at least.

Agreed. People like that should face severe penalties. But let's not assume that everyone is devoid of personal responsibility.

Damn this thread turned into guns and I didn't notice :) 1). I can agree with a waiting period for a first gun. But say you already have 5 guns. Why on earth would you buy a new gun/ waiting period if you were going to go out and murder someone etc? Wouldn't it be easier to use the ones you...

Picked up the truck yesterday. Lots of fun and plenty of powa! Does have overdrive, I was mistaken. Dual 16 gallon fuel tanks and you can almost see the fuel guage moving while you look at it. Scary stuff! Takes about 20 mins to warm up. And the noise, poor neighbours. The all-seasons were...

I noticed that "The Gods Must Be Crazy" movies are coming out on DVD shortly. Great movie.

Well you can always turn logging on if you want a record of what is said. For a short conversation, IM is more efficient than email.

We get some lake effect, tho not as much as people right on the shores of Lake Ontario. We prob had about 6 inches overnight, and a couple more inches today. Yesterday was worse, plenty of ice with slush on top, and idiots who think 75MPH on all-seasons is fine. We usually see them off the road...

Who's going to be the lucky one? :mrgrn:

Well it's not so cold anymore, but we certainly had some exciting icy weather in upstate NY. Anyone else slipping and sliding around today?

I'm happy with Veritas RecordNow DX 4.56. Nice, simple, does the job. Came with my Sony 500A burner (hooray goes Merc!). Nowhere near the incomprehensible bloat of Nero, and the product works in my X-box as well.

Mine doesn't have overdrive tho I don't think. Just three speed.

Haven't worked out mileage yet, but I'd be happy with 13 GPM :) I'll have to get some snow tires for it or I'll just be doing donuts all over the place.

Also purchasing a truck, an '87 Chevy C10 pickup, with a 5.7L V8 donk. Started beautiful after 20+ days under a foot of snow, she purrs lubbly.

Went to PF Changs a few weeks ago, their Mongolian Beef was fantastic. Duck wasn't half bad either. Also went to Champs Sports Bar whatchamacallit, bourbon soaked pork chops were heavenly. For today, a few rounds of Sleeman Honey Brown Lager.

Get the all-in-a-box setup, then you can always upgrade later as the quest for multi-channel nirvana takes hold :)

Obviously you are going to get a higher quality sound from two speakers worth a combined say $1000, as opposed to 6 speakers and a sub-woofer for a combined $1000. And there is a three dimensionality achievable with two speakers in stereo. But that dimensionality I have found is very dependent...

Do we want the aliens on Mars to think of Jacko as a representation of humanity? :o

Currently: P4 2.4 (C) 512MB ECC DDR 400 in dual channel (Crucial) 40GB Seagate 48x CD-RW 8MB ATI RAGE PCI vid card, that can't even do 24bit colour at UXGA rez. FW 800 enclosure with 160GB Maxtor FW 400 enclosure with Hitachi 200GB FW 400 enclosure with Sony 500A Sad to say it seems just as...

I believe it is currently still 67 for men.

Feedlots in Australia are certainly on the way up with the rise of demand in export markets such as Japan. http://www.infarmation.com.au/alfa/lot-feeding.asp Tho I dunno if they are allowed to use hormones as they do in the US. Fortunately in Tassie it's mostly dairy cattle, still romaing the...

Don't worry jtr, you will prob need to hit 85 before you are eligible for Social Security, the way the system is going now. At least some good news today with Pataki cutting $800+ million from Medicaid in the forthcoming budget, saving counties over $200mill. Too bad about the schools that will...

If it was DOA couldn't you have returned it to place of purchase?

Not without switching to a new socket/chipset, SOP for Intel of course :D

Perhaps become a reseller and purchase an Action Pack subscription for less than $300? Giving you the Servers, XP Pros and all the Office goodies.

I don't see the pictures. They seem to be some kind of Flash movie? Idiots!

I believe it's pretty much a case of paying the ATF a bunch of fees, and paying the big bucks for a "transferable" gun, auto MP5s going for about $10K IIRC. It helps if you live in the right state too.

You can't fix the health "care" system in the USA without serious government intervention. In particular, the cost of prescriptions. Honestly the US is developed in certain areas but when it comes to health care for all it gets a big fat 0. Of course you don't pay the high overall taxes that pay...

Nice :) I just ebayed some mounts for my shotty, looking at a 2.5x Pentax scope for it. No excuses for next season!

Real pisser was that the post offices were shut. Tho having Saturday delivery sort of makes up for it.

Perhaps the long weekend has affected viewage?

Surely it is the Canadian/Qebeck governments that charge customs fees? If it is a small gift package, then it may go thru unopened and undutied. UPS you will get hit for sure.
