    Recording many hours of video

    Sadly, It seems Sony does not know its own products. Once the project was transferred to me and I got to look at the camera, I notice the word "streaming" written down the side of the camera. Their website also meantions using it as a webcam out the USB port. What are we doing with it? I...

    It Professional's role in preventing piracy

    When I see this problem, I act as the companies advocate and warn them about the problem and inform them about the fines and consequences of piracy if they get caught. I also tell them I will not install unlicensed software. Usually they are either unaware of how severe the consequences are or...

    Joe, frustrated rants are in good supply around here. You are in good company. Your primary criticisms are related to not growing as quickly as ___ and your feelings as an outsider. It is a "Good Old Boys Club", by the way. But not exclusive. It is also a photography club, an AV club, an AA...

    Recording many hours of video

    Based on the my web search, a good solution might be a color security camera and a PC. Sony claims $500 Sony memory stick camcorder we have will not recod directly to PC. Other suggestions?

    Recording many hours of video

    What sort of equipment would be needed to record 10+ hours of video? I presume recording directly to PC would be most economical if not most handy. Super high quality is not mecessary.

    It's much easier to use task manager to make this determination. After using your computer normally or heavily for the day, pull up the performance tab. Look to the lower left.

    Thanks honold. I thought it was the rarp command but I couldn't find it. I wonder what I was on when I used it before. Also, I discovered that for rarp to work you have to have a rarp server running on the segment. For future reference, based on your techincal explaination I ran: FOR /L %A in...

    Yeah, that's sad. I have one that does too. I think the scenario would be more accurate if toward the end of the conversation the Tech hit the mute button twice so that it's unmuted when he thinks it's muted and vise-versa.

    Blew up television, need suggestions for new one

    I'm working with some steep angles as well (a couple of the chairs are close and to the side). Right now the screen is 19-20" away from the wall. Would I have to reach into exotic technologies to find a TV 12" deep max?

    Site outage June 2, 2003

    I think he is trying to resell sever space to people he knows (online or offline) and host the resold space on the same server as SF. That way when a script goes crazy, he can track down the problem and "yell" at the offender. The current offenders are anonymous to Handy.

    How far away from the TV do you sit when you watch? I have recently obtained enough furniture to sit on in the room with the TV that I'm re-thinking the fun in watching a 19" TV from 12' away.

    Boot from external USB2 drive?

    He means that the BIOS must support it and the device (thumb-drive, HD carrier, CDROM) must support it. In this context, a device is something that plugs into the Universal Serial Bus.

    Yeah, I had difficulty picking an appropriate answer some of the time. Like, does a fire hydrant have a hard outer shell? Well, not in the same way a turtle or brown-cow ice cream bar does. I really wasn't sure when to use "irrelevant".

    I won with a fire hydrant. It doesn't think fire hydrants are fun. However, "It does not matter if our answers disagree, over time the game will change its answers to reflect common knowledge. If you feel that the game is in error, the only way to fix it is to play again."
