Thanks Howell, it stated PCL6 somewhere I looked and I assumed I was safe. GRRR!

Ugh...do you know of any indication on the box or marketing info of printers that would indicate one way or another?

To be honest I don't know. My soundcard encodes everything to DD before my receiver gets it, and it is 5.1. I haven't payed any attention since it just works.

We have an accounting program with a really out-dated back-end. Some reports need to be sent to a network printer directly from the unix/dos-based server. Apparently, the SAMSUNG CLP Series CLP-315W I recently purchased doesn't support that, even though it is PCL6 compliant. According to the...

I still use RipIt4Me as a front-end for DVDDecrypter, then I encode using AutoGK as a front-end for the various tools it needs to output XviD. It will preserve DD and DTS streams if you like, I convert to 5.1 MP3 with a target file size of 2GB per movie. That is plenty to not lose quality.

If you look at the daily graph for the indexes today, it really looks like a rollercoaster.

So long as you maintain a balance of over $50k, SFCU will give you a better rate. Right now it is about 3.2%.

The only deer issue was when one ran into me. I was enjoying a spirited drive down a country road at night, and saw the deer in time to stop. The thing didn't move, and was right in my lane, so I slowly drove around it. Just as my window was passing the deer, it bolted straight into my window...

Merc, Thanks for sticking around for 11,000+ posts. I've enjoyed all of them.

Anyone here listen to Marketplace on NPR? They had an interesting and not groundbreaking concept the other day. That those who are older want the govt to do whatever it takes to save some of what is there now, and younger people are willing to watch it take a massive hit now, so long as it...

Just wrapped a 20 hour day, and I need to leave for work again in 7 hours. Catch you guys later.

...and how much redundancy you support.

Mentally disabled is mentally disabled. Stupid is stupid. You are not allowed to discriminate based on disability, but I can certainly fire you for being stupid.

I'm not saying that there aren't any intelligent people in the south/southwest; the odds against that are quite low. I'm just saying that they are in sufficiently short supply to create a very strong stereotype.

I figured ;) He's from Texas, and not a part of Texas that is known for intelligence, if there were such a part. In fact, none of the states that border Texas are known for their intelligence.

Tannin, I would agree with you, that he is so eloquent that he makes it even more obvious that he doesn't actually know anything, but the accent ruins it completely. He just sounds clueless.

That is the new version. I'm using the last, and it doesn't support output to .hdr or .exr That is one of the reasons I'm looking to buy the new version. After giving Photoshop all night to chew, it seems to have came up with a good result. Just under 1GP @ 32BPP; I told it to save and then...

And Paulson as CEO of GS wasn't?

Nope. It doesn't like the 32-bit part. It just spit out a highly underexposed 16-bit TIFF. Time to try the Photomerge function in CS3. Shame it doesn't give the same kinds of controls. If that doesn't work, I'll have to try doing the tone mapping to the individual images before the stitch, which...

I've already used Photomatix to convert the 388 RAW files into 96 radiance (.hdr) images - it's batch mode is great, as it the ability for it to crop any edges that didn't include all the exposures. Now I just want to send the 96 32-bit images into a stitching app. What other programs should I...

I'm getting ready to order the new version of PTGui Pro. Is it still the best app for doing massive HDR stitching?

I now have a RAID-0 of 3 1st Gen SSDs and a RAID-0 of 3 VelociRaptors. In real world photo editing stuff, the 10k disks win hands down. Within the month I'll order the X25s, and by the end of the year I'll have some FusionIO cards (tricky to RAID them, how many PCI-E slots do you have?

Has anyone gotten an X25 yet? I see a number of sites selling them on google, but none that I recognize.

Not a fan of the 5DII? Not enough of an improvement? Too many kitchen sinks?

Baylands Nature Preserve :-P

I'm really happy with this shot. I know it is too over processed for most of the people here, but I like it.

My grandfather died on December the 6th some years ago, and we are considering getting married on the same day. (Yes, Pearl Harbor, too.)

Three strikes laws would be one way.

Sorry to hear that. Do you have any pictures to share?

Looks like it does.

Synergy is awesome. It is very smooth.

Yup, the packages I'm receiving today are from "BALDWIN PARK, CA, US" and tomorrow's delivery is from "MEMPHIS, TN, US".

I suspect once volume picks up they will give you guys some warehouses, too.

Reinstalling all your apps would be a pain, but the interface is identical to XP. Really, you can't tell by looking at the desktop or using applications.

Yeah, it would. But I'm typically allergic to programming.

Not yet, but it is on the list. If you feel like sharing any resources here, that would be awesome.

That is what Action Packs are for.

Yup, WMI Asset logger nailed it, thanks Mercutio.

Going to Server 2003 is really painless. You'll want 64-bit anyway to support more memory, and Server 2003 x64 is basically XP with support for larger dicks and more RAM ;)

Yup!

Thanks for the tip, Mercutio. It looks really good.

The OS is the limiting factor. You cannot have an NTFS partiton greater than 2TB in XP. Server 2003 and Vista both support GPT disks, which can get much larger (my main array is ~10TB now, with a single drive letter).

I'll second the Audio .90. We used them at the game center and they very rarely failed under ridiculously hard use.

Great info, thanks.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I know the IP address and the machine name, but I have no idea where the box physically is. I want the username so I can locate the machine. All the boxes I've built while here have the office number as the machine name, but some were done by others, and this machine is...

I have an IP, and from that a machine name. I need to know the username of who is currently logged in. Any advice?

Yup. This was less than 10% by any measure. Nothing, really.

Nope. He just trusts Samsung drives more than Seagates.

Or, just get a fast SSD and stop worrying about seek times ;)

Forcing the swap file to be further from the OS than necessary causes more head movement. They way to avoid swap file fragmentation is to make it a fixed size.
