Tony, the distortion is due to the lens. Some are better in this regard than others. Generally distortion is at it's worst at either end of the zoom range. If you set the zoom to the medium setting this effect should be reduced if not eliminated altogether. Switching to macro mode should also help.

It is available. It's called the Dell 2000FP, it's a 20" 1600*1200 flat panel with s-video, composite, DVI and analog inputs. A sweeeet monitor. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.asp?customer_id=19&sku=320-4105

Clocker: Is it possible to convert to dynamic if you are using >4KB cluster size?

Try descaler: http://www.dscaler.org/ It tends to only work on Brooktree based encoder cards.

I would imagine it would be like the AIW cards, i.e processor dependent. There was a leaflet with my AIW 7500 saying a p3 700? was sufficient for dvd quality. For mpeg1 anything over 400MHz should be fine.

Merc: There's a firmware update for the G2 available now. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0204/02041901canonpowershotfirmware.asp

Well I'm at about 35% util when capping at DVD res. I guess it's one of those times when dual 1.47 XPs come in handy :D Now HDTV on the other hand..... but they have special cards for those.

GG price is now $104 + shipping. Amazing what a month does to the prices of the latest shiny tech.

I believe the SCSI capability is via a plug in bridge board, Mercutio has been doing similar things with ACard bridge boards to give SCSI flexibility to his 32x IDE burners.

I guess you will want something with decent macro capability to take detail shots (of the back of the drive?). And perhaps some decent flash capabilities so they aren't dim and dark like most of the pics on the web :) I would recommend a 995, but it would be complete overkill for just screen rez...

No shim needed if you get a cooler designed for Socket A

Is there really a need for hardware based mpeg2 capture in this day of very high performance cpus?

Bottoms up. A new carton of Crownies has been opened and must be drunk before it warms up.

Yes, but with any luck the SOI version wil overclock higher.

Does the Fireball CR and CX have the same pic, with one just squashed a bit? Looking good Tony.

You only get one TV channel? I guess if it was of the appropriate "category" it would be sufficient ;)

When I say back button I mean the back button on my mouse.

It gives me the shits too. The back button here and at SR.com give me an older version of whatever it was I came from, i.e. I will get an old version of the threads view page. The only way to get an uptodate version is to hit the navigation shortcut or hit the Go button. If this could be fixed...

ATI AIW Radeon 7500 and 80GB drive. 30-40 hours of recording. In the USA it works with the GemStar GuidePlus+ software provided and you can select which programs you want to record. MPEG 2 encoding at DVD res takes about 30% cpu for me. Dolby pro-logic is encoded correctly. With the included RF...

I believe the linux client is not quite as stable as the windows version. Or it could be that trademark IntelDodgyMath :D

Well that's goodnews for AMD users. The last thing we needed was some very slow technology crawl with Motorola dragging the chain. After all look at what Motorola has done to Apple's CPU performance with the G4? Makes sense that the easier chips to produce could be made at the new fab, whilst...

The Windows client should work in all versions including winXP.

Senegal has a cricket team? :D

It seems instead of giving us SOI in Barton, they have decided to up the cache to 512KB. Then intro SOI on the Clawhammers. The question is whether with 2 processors running at the same clock speed, one normal, one SOI, does SOI provide a performance increase in this case? I would imagine it is...

Any sport that requires subjective judging to decide the result is a bit dodgy to begin with IMHO. Look at the farce with the figure skating in Salt Lake. Certainly beating someone to death with a blunt piece of wood gives a pretty objective result :D

Has an EULA successfully been enforced by the courts? I would imagine that the simple read this and click here would hardly be binding in any serious court?

Can someone show me where in the EULA it states that I cannot criticise MS with Office? I guess there is always Notepad lol.

But we will still be dependent on slothy 5400rpm laptop hard drives with very slow seeks. Just give me a 68 pin U160 connector on the back of my next laptop please.

Well the Athlon4 is up to 1.4GHz now. By the end of the year I would imagine it would be at 1.8GHz+. I'm still waiting for an Athlon4 laptop with decent non-integrated video. But I'm happy with my 1GHz Athlon4 in the mean time.

If you can't get it running as a service, download Electron Microscope from here: http://www.hardfolding.com/hardocp_genome.html Unzip the files to your genome directory In the options page that opens when you run it, tick the following: Start G@H on Start-Up Hide G@H Window on Start Run EM...

"In fact, the marginal top rate in most countries rises substantially when considering the all-in rate of taxes on income, to 61% in France and Turkey, 62% in Denmark and Sweden, 65% in Japan and 66% in Belgium. The highest all-in rates for taxpayers in the United States fall in the 40–48%...

OIC. Double taxation doesn't sound too good at all :(

The GF 4 MX is a slug. It's not a proper DirectX 8.1 GPU. A decent GF3 performs better in most cases.

For a horrifying minute there I thought you were paying 48% tax on your income!

Given that I'm on dial up, dl'ing it once will be quite enough thanks :) I installed MMC 7.6, still no luck getting any AIW functionality to work (this is after uninstalling MMC 7.5). Still ! in the Device Manager with Code 31. I think I have learnt another annoying lesson. When you upgrade ATI...

Well successfully running the new ATI drivers, after uninstalling the previous ones. But my MMC functionality such as TV etc isn't there (all ! in Device Manager). So I'm waiting on the 15MB of MMC 7.6 to download. I also notice there is a new version of the ATI DVD player ver 7.6 out as well...

You could run with the -nonet option and upload results when it is convenient, i.e. every couple of weeks or so.

I believe there will be an AMD price cut either today or tomorrow.

If a chip is going to be released in June, it would already be taped out and proceeding thru validation/testing, if not already being produced to build up stocks fo release.

If you do a new install in a seperate parition Doug, you should be able to boot into it and access your other data.

Ouch :( I had a similar problem when i went to upgrade from the drivers on the Radeon 7500 AIW CD to the latest offical ones on the ATI website. foobared my win2k install, it would get to the desktop and the screen would go a deep transparent red. Had to install another win2k parition, i've got...

I'm guessing you are looking for reviews of managed switches? Almost all the non-managed switches offer the same performance, as long as the backplane capacity is at least equal to the sum of all ports.

Well we are in Q2 now with not yet a 2200+ in sight. So 2400+-2600+ by the end of Q3 is reasonable. I guess it all depends on how hard Intel pushes the p4 upwards.

How did the upgrade go for you? Did you un-install the previous drivers first? Or just put them over the top?

Ahh, "Who Dare Wins". Worthwhile to watch if only to see Tania :D

and for the loss of all my mental functions as well obviously :oops:

What about just replacing the fan in the AOpen power supply?

Hmm very interesting. The biggest problem I have is that the TigerMP is really too big for the HX08. It fits in there no worries, just you can't really use any of the 3.5"ers due to the ram blocking access. My front bezel was taken off many moons ago. I think I'll go a huge double wide server...

LOL, don't worry Coug, I blame the Absolut for my horror grammar.

You can cache results by using the -nonet option in the command line or using the "Run off network" option in the genome@home program grouping (which does the same thing). Try Genome Spy for monitoring: http://www.franken.de/users/v8/GS/index_eng.htm
