  2. Re:Sign Me Up! on New Solar Cells 20 Times Cheaper · · Score: 0

    This would be great for the house i live in now. (In the Phoenix Arizona area) I am wondering how much the startup costs for this would be and what kind of equipment you use to acomplish this. Also, is there a retailer or distributor that i could look at? I would greatly appriciate it if you could expand on your setup a little more.

    "like most people, you don't have any clue about what's going on in the world" Riiight. "Like most people you prefer to be a "consumer" living a comfortable life " I suppose you're one of those CEO's that would rather rip people off for money than being an average working "consumer." "rather than being a citizen of a democracy." Hmm, I'm sorry, i happen to be a citizen of the US, a democratic nation, so you have no idea what you're talking about. "FYI, Osama did release a lot of videos and audio tapes" Yea I saw those episodes of Saturday Night Live too, those are great. Oh, and I suppose you think we never set foot on the moon either huh?

    Anybody else notice the tube coming out of Barbra Streisand's property that is eeking some pretty nasty looking stuff? My guess is that her septic system goes straight to the ocean. Good job Barbara.

  11. Snapstream is Great! on Home-Grown TiVo Stories? · · Score: 0

    I have snapstream version 2 and run it on a 800Mhz box for recording. The box is hooked up to the network and streams shows to my clients in the house even while recording.
    I am a beta tester of version 3 which is very close to coming out. Version 3 has a full screen interface plus it will do all the web server stuff that version 2 will do. Although the full screen interface requires a little bit of a faster machine it's a clean / quick interface with lots of features. Check it out!

  16. Re:Saving Bandwidth/time on P2P Programs on K-12 Networks? · · Score: 0

    As a side note, I also made a batch file that will disable/enable clean slate easily after the computer was started with the boot disk. :)

    Another funny quirk about clean slate is that since it resets the computer to a default state every time you restart when daylight savings time rolls around the windows clock comes up every time you start your computer (IE it thinks that every day you are hitting the new time and brings up the clock to make sure that it set the time correctly)

    Depending on how bright the kids at your school are, more than clean slate may be needed as I figured out how to get past clean slate and I don't even consider myself that bright in comparison with others I've met.

  17. Saving Bandwidth/time on P2P Programs on K-12 Networks? · · Score: 0

    I'd suggest two things...
    1) You could get an internet filter to filter out bad and questionable sites.

    2) Get a program called clean slate installed on the computers - it will bring each computer back to a preset configuration every time the computer is reset.

    Problems with these:
    1) Don't forget IPs of the sites. My school has a filter and forgot to put many of the IPs of the domains they blocked and thus i can ping the domain and use the IP to go and surf through the site.
    2) Using a boot disk, I've found that you can edit the config.sys/autoexec.bat files so that clean slate only turns on and off when you want it to. (thus you can turn it off and install a program, then turn it back on and it will thing that that program is part of the default config.) I discovered this after my school installed clean slate and i was frustrated with it removing the programs/settings that i installed/changed. This could be fixed by disabeling the floppy boot in the BIOS but the admins at my school don't understand such things. :)
