This is the only forum where I have more than 10 posts, with the exception of SR (2,664 - last post was in '06).

Not sure which "F" word you are referring to?

No idea. That was the screen on full-white.

I've never done this before, and am looking for any tips. I've shot several sequences (4-12 frames) that I felt would go well as a series. What would be the recommended technique and output? Does animated GIF support a decent resolution? Would making some kind of video file require additional...

A bit of both, but the players (mid-tackle, mid-fumble) are typically more exciting.

Here is a very poor picture of a Sharp AQUOS 42". An even more complex pixel structure.

That sounds like an excellent range for this kind of thing. Would that be "the lens" to have? I might be able to get someone else to pay the rental bill...

I suspect it is buffering and decoding the signal. Perhaps there is an RTOS that needs to boot up?

Quite so. The 300 is too long for an American football game Surprisingly the 180 Macro actually focused quickly enough; even during tracking shots.

Indeed. Thanks for your contribution!

Shot the same night football all-star game I did last year. Venue was a Jr. College, so the lighting sucks. I intended to use the 100/2, but got to borrow a 300/2.8 for a quarter. Shot the rest of it with the 180/3.5 macro, probably the best choice to be honest.

Wow, a phone, TV, clock, and emergency light in the bathroom? I hope you have a Toto Neorest 600 to go with all that bling?

Is there any reason this kind of technology can't be strictly software? It doesn't look like it needs anything more than a trick driver and some knowledge of the OS.

Add-on eSATA cards are a bit of a niche market, there may well only be one chip maker who has bothered to commercialize it.

Thanks Doug for keeping us ignorantly blissful. ;)

How about simultaneously backing up the DB dump and file store to a pair of USB drives?

Erm, no. Not really. Though I will be taking next Tues. morning off to service my car. Of course, I will have a pair of laptops, a pair of phones, and a pair of hotspots, just in case. My last vacation was my honeymoon 2 years+ ago.

I'll keep an eye on you. I noticed Handruin has cut way back; time to turn up the heat a bit on him.

I agree, but my concept of small business keeps being expanded. 200 employees with computers, nearly five hundred total, multi-million dollar contracts, and me as the only "tech guy". I really like it.

Maxed one out and it's on the way for the boss.

An SL510 just arrived here. Not a bad unit for the price.

Part of my job is doing what needs to be done for my boss. From keeping his businesses working to driving his kids to school to cooking when the catering company blows it. Identify a problem, be the solution. I enjoy my work.

Awesome. I've missed the comedy.

Also even with FC and a SAN, you will need to partition chunks of your array for each computer to boot from. They can't all boot from the same partition.

And up near Coug is a town called Dildo.

Ouch. Get a different raid card for the internal drives and the route the onboard ports to an esata bracket?

That was enough for two football teams. The high school football all-stars game is this friday, that was the pre-game diner.

Cooked 110 ribeye steaks tonight over oak. Smelled awesome.

I get nervous dealing with the really critical machines remotely. I am not the first person there in the morning, and now that we've moved it is a considerable drive to the office, so getting it wrong can be a bad thing.

Wow. I'm gonna get me a couple of those. I can easily move them for that much.

!

Could be worse, I suppose. Last night I was shoveling broken concrete into a trailer, in the rain, until midnight.

...on a 6TB volume with a hundred concurrent users. Guess what I'm doing tonight...

Killbox says "the file seems not to exist"

All I want to do is delete them. Move, cut/paste, delete, none of that works.

There are a few files in a folder on our file server that I can't do anything with. I'm logged in as Domain Admin (and local machine admin), and it won't let me even view the security tab of the files. If I try to change the ownership of the entire folder, including it's contents, it gives me an...

The Egg. $550

Ordered the TX-NR808. Great discount and free shipping.

Moved. Neat tool.

It was a disk, actually, not a wheel. The weight was seat-of-the-pants approximation, based on what I could reasonably get into my garage, but the flywheel was a handy online calculator. Edit: Revisiting my math, that dimension was for an earlier, lighter flywheel.

Don't like sharing your porn? ;)

That looks like it would do the trick, though I am not an AV expert.

5.8MHz would be terrible for transmission. 5.8GHz is better technically, but it really matters what other devices you already have and what frequencies they are using.

Not a product, just straight math. Purely hypothetical.

Yup. Balance would be critical. A wheel of that size made from Steel would be about 6 inches wide. There would need to be one hell of a CVT for both the drive and generation. A vacuum would be necessary as the outer portions of the wheel would be going many times the speed of sound. Considering...

Haven't gotten there yet. It isn't an energy producer (like a generator), but more an alternative to batteries or hydrogen production/storage. Storing 5.5KWh in batteries would get expensive pretty quickly, particularly considering that, to avoid deep discharges, you would need a significantly...

I can store 1.5 months power consumption for my house in a 20 ton flywheel 6 feet tall if I can get it up to 20k RPM. Who needs batteries ;)

It's more about not wanting to stop the activity I was doing before I went.

Lunar, I think the geek solution is to hook your cable to an HD Homerun and then stream it via the network to any device you have. Using a dedicated wireless transmitter to a dedicated display device seems...inelegant.

I've been thinking of an iPad for that purpose, but holding out in hopes that a larger Android 3.0 device will be available soon.
