Is there any discernable difference in capture quality between the 8500 and 9700? Also, by any chance have you tried the component video out adapter on either card?

Perhaps this guy is related to your friend's neighbor. Steve

Shuttle really has a hit on their hands with those cases. I know I'm seriously considering getting myself one for my next PC.

Be careful out there, although I know you are.

I spend almost all day in front of a monitor, and while it normally doesn't bother my eyes, it simply doesn't compare to paper. Reading short articles is fine on a monitor, but when reading something book-length, I would much rather prefer it on paper. Steve

By any chance, is it directly above a furnace or central air unit? I've seen a PC that had spontaneous reboots be fixed by simply moving it across the room to the side opposite where the furnace was in the basement. It's even still on the same circuit as it was previously, and now runs...

It could be. I generally don't follow the news in Newark as it's just too depressing. The population has been steadily declining there since the race riots in '68. It also has some of the worst schools in the country. In some, as few as 15% can even pass the basic skills tests. Patterson isn't...

Great, I live in the second most expensive part of the country. That's no real surprise, since everything is so damn expensive. I actually live in Essex county, just bordering Passaic county, but it's still the same. The only reason my county isn't included is because of Newark, which is...

TMPGEnc Plus works! The free version is supposed to have MPEG2 functionality for 30 days, but it never worked on any of my files, which is why I didn't try the Plus version before now. Finally, I can edit the all of captures I have. Just in time too, as I'm running out of disk space. Steve

I have the same problem with my BT8x8 card. If I captue in MPEG2 with PowerVCR (the program it came with), I can't edit it in any program I've tried. I've also tried capturing with WinDVR in MPEG2, and it does the same thing. Only capturing with MPEG1 or HuffyUV can I produce files that I can...

I meant the icons for the topics and forums, not the other buttons.

I like the old buttons better, but otherwise I like this theme. It gives a nice, crisp look to the site.

Very nice, The Grammar Police! Thank you.

I guess I'm not getting a new avatar. :(

Congratulations!

I like it, but after having a 2-seater with a very small trunk (Mazda RX-7), I wouldn't get another one unless it was a second car. It's such a hastle if I ever want to carry something in my car that's bigger than a duffel bag.

Thanks, Fushigi.

Is this the right one?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try and see if I can find one locally this weekend.

Home entertainment systems are not my forté, so this is probably a stupid question. I just got digital cable, and the digital audio out on the cable box is an RCA connector, while on my receiver, it's a Toslink. I can't seem to find any Toslink-RCA cables anywhere, and I was wondering if they...

Woohoo! It's only about 20 miles away from where I live, and I'm getting ping times of 15ms!

Great job, Doug. Glad everything is back online.

Along the same line, here's another one. http://www.rleeermey.com/images/Slam.jpg

You can have it, but thanks for the offer.

I have one picked out, but no where to upload it.

Add my name to the list.

I have a DI-704, and I haven't had any problems with it. The one time I thought I did, it turned out to be my ISP. However, I've heard their support is somewhat lacking. Steve

In IE, go to Tools->Internet Options->Content. Click on "Auto Complete" and uncheck everything. Also click on "Clear Forms" and "Clear Passwords". After that, it shouldn't save the info any more. Steve

The alpha was leaked, apparently from ATI. Here's Carmack's statement on Slashdot. It's not too hard to find, but I'd rather wait for the official demo before trying it out. Steve

This is what happens to it when Windows crashes: Steve

Hollywood's portrayal of America is very different from most American's actual experience. For example, from watching police shows, one would get the impression that every cop uses their guns weekly. In reality, 98% of NYPD officers never fire their guns in the line of duty in their entire...

I'm pretty sure he's an original, although I could be wrong.

I was reading the Phoenix discussion board last night, and came across this post which describes how to block plugins in Mozilla and Phoenix. Unfortunately, it only works after the page is loaded, but it's better than nothing. BTW, I'm using last night's build of Phoenix, and it's improved...

You can set it up to ask before it dials out. Run it with the -config option, and it should give you the option to change whether or not it asks for permission to dial out.

When I was growing up, every Spring and Fall, a pair of Malard ducks (a male and female) would stay in our in-ground pool for about a month. It's quite common in this area, and our neighbor had their own pair that would stay in their pool. The first year or two, they were a little nervous about...

I use it for cut & paste. I've never had a problem with accidentally hitting it.

There's nothing better than the IBM Model M Keyboards. They have by far the best feel, and are indestructable. As far as the International characters, I do what LiamC said in the other thread. I use the ALT+Keypad combo. It's not too hard to remember the 8 that I need for Spanish: ALT+0161 = ¡...

Does anyone have any experience with Sampo LCD monitors, specifically the LME-17S1? It's a 17.4" model with built-in TV tuner and 1280x1024 resolution. My Dad wants to get an LCD monitor, and this one is currently US$600 at Costco. The specs seem pretty good for the price, but I don't know about...

I would say either Mandrake or Redhat. However, they're still not quite there yet. Mandrake 9.0 still has some rough edges since it's a .0 release, but on the whole I haven't had any major problems with it. The hardware detection is very good, and Samba and printing just work. Evolution...

That's very good news! There's another story on MSNBC. Steve

Just 2 right now. I have the parts for 2 more, but I'm missing the cases and power supplies. I'll probably build one of them into a file server once the large SATA drives finally come out. Steve

I found this article at ExtremeTech which says: On Thursday, an AMD spokeswoman said that only the company's product strategy had shifted, not the company's production timetable. Officially, samples of the 64-bit Athlon desktop processor are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2003, with...

I filled it out, and it said I should receive it shortly. We'll see. I only care about the Anti-virus and Ghost, anyway. Thanks for the heads-up, Pradeep! Steve

A couple of questions: What does NFR stand for? (Not For Resale?) What's the catch? Is it a trial version?

In the revised article, they specifically said the Clawhammer would be out towards the end of Q1, and the Opteron in the 1st half. Now, I don't know if these will be paper launches, or if you'll actually be able to buy them at that time.

From the Inquirer again: Clarification: AMD asks us to point out that Hammer schedules haven't slipped from its previous advice, as we originally suggested in this article. A spokesman from the company told us that desktop versions of Hammer are still planned to ship (for revenue) in Q1 2003...

According to The Inquirer, AMD said it's delaying the Clawhammer (desktop) until the second half of next year. The Sledgehammer (server) is still scheduled for the 1st half however. How much is this going to hurt them, and will it give Intel a big advantage? Steve

I bumped this thread because I'm working on something for personal use, and I want to do it by hand instead of a WYSIWYG editor since figured it would be a good time to learn something new. The last time I did a web page was ~1996, and obviously a lot has changed since then. I still know basic...

This really should go in the Pub & Brewery. One solution: 1st cube: put 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 2nd cube: put 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 Steve
