    This is one of the dumbest posts I've seen in some time, and thats saying something. This doesn't even qualify for "Troll" status

  4. Re:The Russian court has got see reason, here. on Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet Probe · · Score: 1

    I think you making far to big an assumption. I wasn't saying "Yay, Christians!" but offering an example against the assumption that no atheists aren't vandals. Glare at people that have jesus fish, big crosses, , etc? I'm sure there are people that take it to the next level, and key someone's care because they have such accouterments.

    Lots of people are asses, Christians or not.

    There's plenty of people who've had their Jesus fish ripped of the back of their car. My aunt has, for one.

    If you have extra Macs, you can with DVD studio and Shake. Look up qmaster.

  7. Re:Benefits of IPv6 on Federal Agencies Must Use IPv6 by 2008 · · Score: 1

    No, but there's an ip distribution problem.

    Look at it from an economic perspective: You have a limited resource imperfectly distributed. If some people who want/need the resource that can't get it, because its already been distributed, then you have an artificial shortage. While reclaiming and redistributing is a valid option, you should never ignore the option of increasing the amount of your limited resource.

    Honestly, my favorite 5 man was warrior, druid, mage, mage, shaman.

    Got my Druid to 60, and done everything up to Onyxia. Druid is definitely the best soloing class, but at end game, you're not useful in small ground. A very good all round guy to fill out 10 and 15 man raid groups, but not really wanted in a 5-man.

    Of course thats what he meant. I'm asking how he's getting it off of the tape if he can;t get to his office.

  11. Re:Compression on Best Way to Back Up Photos and Video? · · Score: 1

    Not really. When i tried it with DV footage I was working with, I got on average like a 1% compression. As much as 5% for one clip, but -2% on another end of the spectrum.

    What do you mean you only need one? How do you plan on restoring from your offsite archives if you building burns down/floods/becomes uninhabitable?

    You really do need a second one some place offsite.

    If I gain a resource I didn't have before, I've profited. The definition still fits. Profit comes in many forms other than money.

    When IE handles PNGs properly, maybe people'll start to use it more (alpha channel, what alpha channel?)

  15. Re:The problem with these on Rugged Mini-DV Camcorder for the Road? · · Score: 1

    Not all of em. JVC's pro models that use HDs record as DV, not MPEG-2.

    As far as the cheap ones got, its even worse. Some record as MPEG-4.

    Those aren't the most mobile of things. I mean, there are some that are mobile, but I think thats quite a bit beyond what the OP is asking for.

  17. Re:DV Deck on Rugged Mini-DV Camcorder for the Road? · · Score: 1

    No, you want a couple cheap cameras to do play back from. If you've recorded on a consumer camera, a pro level deck will do nothing for you but cost more money.

  18. Re:Inexpensive redundancy. on Rugged Mini-DV Camcorder for the Road? · · Score: 1

    Exactally. If you keep killing cameras, rather than pick up a professional Beta or DVCam (assuming you don't actually need the pro features, which it sounds like you don't), get several MiniDV cams. Treat them like something that gets out; replace when necessary.

    Ok, you're just wrong. Right clicking in Safari gives an application-specific contextual menu, just like almost every other program in OS X.

    What you don't get is the full menu structure in a contextual menu, which is what you want.

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but the you already get an application specific context menu.

    You can also have an iconless desktop. Set your Finder prefs not to show drives, discs, servers, and then don't put anything on the desktop.

    Thats a bit of a generalization. While there are such kids out there, there a lot of adults like that also, and many more kids who aren't.
