  1. Re:Vote volume on Seeking The Source For Ireland's E-Voting System · · Score: 1

    In the UK it is about once every 2 years (although local councel and devolved parliments are combined), if there were lots of extra ballots for trivial matters virtually nobody would turn out resulting in a quick count.

  2. Re:Doh... on Old Hard Drives = Free Electricity · · Score: 1

    and he will send the magnet that can "break fingers" through the post?

  3. Film? on Preserving VHS Recordings For Another 20 Years? · · Score: 1

    Considering that prints of films from 1984 have been restored to close to their origional quality, this would be a good storage method. http://www.bfi.org.uk/collections/preservation/ind ex.html

  4. Re:Why DSL? on DSL Hardware for Wiring Condos? · · Score: 1

    In my uni halls there you could see all the computers in the same house, and acsess all the other computers on the network [through the IP address] As for the registration, this was done by submitting the MAC address of the computer [along with matric and room number] and it was set up remotely. The computer got an IP address from the server instantly, although nothing else worked untill it was activated.

  5. 48 FPS/hz on Projector Torture Test: LCD versus DLP · · Score: 1

    I notice the flicker, particularly in the end credits of films. The light flickers at 48 fps/hz with the film advancing 24 times a second. Part of the flicker may be due to the projector not moving the film smoothly [and keeping it centered] rather than the flicker of the shutter

  6. Re:Home Use? on Projector Torture Test: LCD versus DLP · · Score: 1

    Not seen one used for home use, but the local uni film society projects DVDs for most of its screenings. On their new £5000 projecter the quality is great. On the older projectors the quality is not as good, with the lines more visible and the colour less even. The worst projected video I've seen is in lecture theatres when a bad bit of VHS video is played through a 3-tube CRT projector. Colourfringing, visible lines and much more is the result. [although it gives a nice effect when the lecture stands infront of the picture]

  7. Re:Long life is often needed. on Projector Torture Test: LCD versus DLP · · Score: 1

    On the plazma screens at the local cinema "The Two Towers" can be seen burnt into the image.

  8. Re:Not Ready for Hollywood on 3D "Crystal Ball" Monitors · · Score: 1

    So the plot has no consiquence, just the technology counts
