  1. Re:Sigh on 65 CPUs From 100 MHz to 3066 MHz · · Score: 1

    Hey now... DVHS supports HDTV and dolby digital 5.1 in its NATIVE format. And it is recordable. Amazing, a VHS format beating DVD.

    On a side note, the only old tapes you should copy to dvd are ones that are a) not retail (like rare tapes [UHF doesn't count anymore]) and b) home movies (its tedious to watch yourself as a child sitting down on the grass with your parents, and worst of all, copying Betamax to VHS instead of digitizing it. Now yet another thing to add to the ToDo list... Digitize Betamax Home Movies...

    my puter was in the dining room (suspicious parents) and thats about 40 ft (including about 3 or 4 walls) and i got 100 signals. it did go down when mom ran the microwave which was right through the wall from me. Then i switched from channel 6 to 3 and the signal got loads better. Odd, hurumph?

    In order to get at the top and note important things.

    AT&T intel and such are doing Cometa Networks, planning for 20,000 hotspots by the end of 2002.

    Cometa Networks

    Argh. Saturate this.

    The joltage system was a little fucked, they didn't have routers which could log access, you had to have two routers, aka DSL or Cable Modem, then router (i like blocking access on 1434 and such), then puter, then access point... this requires puter on all the time. Most dont leave their puter on this much. Boingo doesn't require a puter on but costs like 700 bucks!!!

    Hey now, Whats going on here? I've never heard of Dvorak. i want to see one. and a typing program that teaches it. If i type faster on it than i do on a qwerty, then i'll switch.

  10. Re:Some more good comics on New Resource for Online Comic Artists · · Score: 1

    Exploitation now is a dead comic. He's released a book. Also, i'd like to note that most of those are hosted by KeenSpot, the Premium version of Keenspace, a comic hosting site. Keenspace provides free hosting to anyone, and for some reason they even accepted mine! Anywhoo, i think that lethaldoses is with keenspot, not sure. RocketBox may be a co-location for my comic in the future.

    uhhh... cpu horsepower DOES have an effect on video, just take my p133 with 64 megs of ram (and thats after the upgrade!). I cant watch movies encoded in most of the new algorithms, specifically DivX... what happens is, the sound keeps playing while the video goes ahead, pauses for about 30 seconds, goes ahead a jump, pauses again... life with cheep parents...
