  1. homemade webcam on Making a Homemade Webcam? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Step 1: Buy a webcam.

    Step 2: Take webcam apart.

    Step 3: Make a webcam out of parts from step 2.

    A webcam is a lot more electronics than optics, so your high school photography class won't help much here. A lot of the stuff that goes into a webcam is going to be surface mount only and very tiny. I understand you want to learn about them, but you might be better off buying one and taking it apart and studying that.

    It sounded more like you were showing off.

    "Oh look at me!! I have something slightly different than everyone else so look at me!!! I'm so cool because I am different."

    I see arrogant jackasses all the time so you haven't made me see anything abnormal.

    If I had to choose between mcdonalds horseshit and a random diner then I would choose the diner. At least there is a chance that their food won't suck. I don't understand what the big deal is with consistently horrible food.

    No it hasn't. APIs are used when writing a program to interface with another program. I doubt many configuration scripts deal with APIs.

    But these go to IPv11. You are over there computing all day at IPv10. Where can you go? Nowhere. When we need that extra network boost, we can go to IPv11.

  11. stupid surveys on 429,000 Do-Not-Call Complaints · · Score: 1

    I got a call the other day from some stupid prolife group. It was an automated deal and the lady said if I wanted to take part in an abortion survey to stay on the line. I did it for shits and grins. It said to press 1 if I was prolife or 9 if I was prochoice. Naturally, I pressed 9. Then it thanked me for being prolife and if I would like more information about their organization to press 3. I wanted to complain, so I pressed 3. After telling me some bullshit about them, the lady said if I wanted to make a financial donation to press 6. I pressed 9 again and the lady thanked me and said I would get something in the mail in a few days. What the fuck?

  12. Re:Leftorium? on First Linux-only Retail Store? · · Score: 1

    It is no more exclusive than a game store(exclusive market: people who play games) or taco bell(exclusive market: people who like fast food tacos). I doubt that the owners will require customers to present proof that they run linux at home. Therefore, it is open to anyone.

  13. Re:Don't use Wireless on Restricting Wireless Access on Campus? · · Score: 1

    All over the place? In all the wired classrooms I've seen, there are jacks and power outlets at the desks(actually a big long table thing). It's no more than a couple feet from the laptop to the jacks. No cables on the floor or anything. If you just throw a hub in a room and say, "hook up" then sure, you might have problems. If it is done correctly, though, then there is nothing to worry about.

  18. Re:Multi-cards vs multi-heads on Alienware Discuss New Video Array Technology For Gamers · · Score: 1

    Matrox cards have never been about power(at least not 3d acceleration power). Their main focus is on image quality. Not everyone needs super-fast 3d acceleration.

  19. Re:IR - varmth on Theaters vs. Camcorders, Round 27 · · Score: 1

    Yes, that is a very good idea. Spend lots of money on a very powerful IR emitter array to jam camcorders and heat up the audience. Or they could just turn the air conditioner down a bit and save lots of money.

  23. Re:How about an effective one! on BYU Project to Silence Computer Fans · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? There isn't a general purpose cpu or gpu in the world that requires watercooling for normal use. Sure, you can't use the heatsink off an old pentium 133 to cool your brand new pentium 4, but there are very capable heatsinks to cool the newest, most powerful processors. Notice how I haven't mentioned anything about fans. That because fans don't matter nearly as much as a good heatsink design. You just need something that moves air over the heatsink. Fans have been used for hundreds of years, and I don't think the physics of moving air changes when a heatsink is involved. Fans are perfectly capable of cooling a processor at stock speeds. Anyone who runs watercooling with stock speeds is doing it because of the noise.

    If people are complaining about overheating then just about the only way the fan could be at fault is if the fan is not spinning. If you run a processor at stock speed with the oem heatsink and fan installed properly then there should be no overheating issues. And please tell me where these fans are that require water?
