What kind of rechargeable battery is in your camera? A Lithium Ion batt should be good for 300-500 "full" recharges, or the equivalent of part charges, before it's charge capacity drops down too much.

Tea, what camera did your Dad get? A film based or digital? I'm guessing the Coolpix 5000?

What video card are you using Sol?

1600*1200*85Hz is the max that that monitor can do, so it could well be deteriorating past the point where it can support it.

Well with our rugby league players they go straight for the finger up the date, no introduction required :o

Might be those ebil Korean haXors hijacking your domain Tony :boom:

You did a great job Merc, James' link to the dark underbelly of evil was swiftly and correctly dispatched to the netherworld. Fortunately I captured it for further investigation by the Church of the Lovers of Bill. On a completely unrelated note, an Aussie Rules footy player was today suspended...

Me too *blubbers* I claim anything under 203.220.*.* :P

ST glass fibre is the good stuff :D

Yes. Just like a .bmp. But it file size can be nearly halved by using a lossless codec such as MonkeyAudio. Of course, what with SR.com still posting insanely large 200KB+ pictures of the HD reviewed, why not just go for the big lardy stuff ;)

IE6 says web page could not be saved because one of the files is missing. This is after choosing to save as "web page, html only"

Run ATTO on it and see how it compares to Firewire :D

I'm using an OrangeMicro Firewire + USB 2 combo pci card. Firewire section works fine without any drivers, the USB 2 section required the beta win2k drivers to work. I believe Abit have a mobo (Max?) with both usb2 and firewire on board, but it gets rids of legacy ports such as serial (and...

I think both USB2 and Firewire have their place in the market. Currently I have a combo card with both but only use the Firewire for an external hard drive. USB2 will be good due to backwards compatibility with USB1.1 Firewire will continue to be used for DV. We will see Firewire 2 before the...

:?:

One thing to keep in mind is to make sure it is crunching on a large gene (70-80+ AA), as otherwise the mb usage when you finally upload can get costly for people on dl limited dial up :(

It'll keep running happily on -nonet forever. I've run it for 3-4 weeks while I was away and it was still running fine when I got back.

$140 per month! :eekers: I would have suggested Austar broadband (previously chello) which had wireless downloads (I had over 3mbit/sec at times, and they only bitched if you went over 10 GB) and dialup uploads for about $65 per month ($55 with austar tv bundle), but they went titsup in...

The flop becomes apparent when you see the performance of OS X ;)

Nice work! :mrgrn:

Basically there is no hardware acceleration of the graphics used, as opposed to Windows where nearly everything is done by the 2D hardware in your video chip. Also, it is still basically in beta, with speed improvements with every new point release. I guess by the end of the year they should...

Not only that Sol, but I have heard a g4 iMac referred to as a Unix workstation. I laughed for a very long time after that one.

My next door neighbour got a g4 iMac ( the bid range model with combo drive). OS 9.2 performance was fine, but then she said she wanted all the pretty effects of OS X, so I rebooted in that. Performance is absolutely pathetic, any kind of window resizing makes me think i'm using a 386. And...

Buy from the USA?

I'm guessing the price differential is higher in good ole Aus. :cry:

Of course the solution if you have a laptop is simple. When you take it home, get it to download a unit. Then run with the Run off network option (-nonet) whilst at work, it will rerun the unit with a diff variation, and won't need to connect to the Net.

I believe http proxy support will be included in ver 2.0 of the client (just around the corner they say). Many people are waiting to start up their office fleets when that is implemented.

I've had bad memory from Crucial, a failed 256MB Reg ECC DDR module and an overheating 256MB PC133 SO-DIMM (which I believe is using 8ns chips). Given the problems with doing an RMA from Australia I will never be buying from them again.

Sorry should have said thread. I believe it was in the "other place". No matter.

Norton AV 2002. Grab an OEM copy, should be good for 180 days of updated. Now a few years ago I would have rather been castrated than had a Norton product on my machine, but NAV 2002 is surprisingly good.

I was just thinking how long 20GB would take to dl on a dial up modem and realised it must be MB. Tony, did you see the post a few days ago with bizzarro english in it? Lo = Hello? Go = Gigabyte? Mo = Megabyte? Needless to say I didn't reply lol.

Doug: Mushkin has PC2700 and PC3000 DDR, I would take that over Crucial anyday. Tony, you can always unlock the Athlon and lower the multiplier, enabling the FSB to be increased.

Go here: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-39082.html Time provided the link previously. Scroll to the bottom, you can download the tool there. Depending on what your firmware version is you need a different upgrade.

The HP firmware update won't work on anything but HP machines. You need the IBM provided updater, I've lost the link.

20 GB of remote storage Tony? Or is that 20 MB? Merc, make sure those 340MB Microdrives are Mk II models that spin at 3600rpm, and not the first gen models that spin at 4400rpm. The Mk I models did have reports of failures in some cameras (perhaps a heat related problem?) From what I can work...

Is Merc's G2 on crack? http://www.dpreview.com/news/0204/02042203g2crackcomment.asp

That would be me me me.

I think Tony has the FD-100, the FD1000 was a typo he corrected later. I couldn't find a review of it at dpreview.com. Here it is: FD100

What a slug. You can see the confidence they have in the product, a 3 year warranty. Any why is there a frigging 200KB image that is only 259*334 pixels in size? No wonder SR.com is running out of money for bandwidth. Compression anybody? Not to mention the 700KB full size image.

15" UXGA is a strain for many peoples eyes. There is no 15" version of the 2000FP. I would much rather have the 20" version. The 20" was available for just under $1300 yesterday when there was 20% off, Dell does this quite often so it's only a matter of waiting. Of course in Australia it is not...

Respect my authoritah!

I would be much happier if they were using win2k SP2 instead of this semi completed winXP, not to mention it is completely unpatched! Also the sudden deposition of IOmeter for other benchmarks seems a bit odd.

Sorry, I meant the post above the one I quoted. The one about alt-tab does z-ordering. there's a double post about 12 hours apart :o

Hmm an error with phpBB?

A daily glass or two of red wine could well improve your health, with smokes that's rather doubtful.

When you start capture, and the little capture rectangle comes up with the name of the file you are capturing to. Right click on the elapsed time text, then choose "Show total frames"

Wasn't VESA just a poor mans EISA?

Yes but the 1.65V is lower than the current voltage of the AthlonXP 1.73 GHz, it's not a simple overclock like the ill fated p3 1.13 GHz.

Hydravision from ATI has had multiple desktops for quite sometime. They now have ver 3 in beta, available here (I'm not game to try it) http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/misc/hydravision3-00-120.html
