  1. Re:There is a simple technical solution... on FCC Proposes Fining AT&T Over DNC Violation · · Score: 1

    How about this as a solution? All telemarketers have to call from the same set of area codes. No matter where they are located geographically, they are assigned a number out of a special set of area codes. An answering machine or CallerID unit that had a list of all the area codes concerned could easily be programmed to hang up or tell them they just got their company fined...

  2. Logo Suggestion on Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo? · · Score: 1

    How about this whistle I just dug out of a box of cereal? I don't need it for anything...

  3. Data Dropouts on Could CDRW Disks Replace Videotapes? · · Score: 1

    I have been doing something similar...capturing using VirtualDub, encoding with TMPgenc, then authoring and burning in Nero. I burn to a CD-RW disc to make sure I have the menus set correctly, and to check the encoding params I am using. I was experimenting this way for a while with just one (1) hi-speed CD-RW disc, and after a while it started dropping bits. I tried doing a COMPLETE/FULL ERASE instead of the quick-erase, and the problem seems to have disappeared. Burning to 4x discs always seem to give me dropouts, no matter how I erase the disc beforehand.
