Is LJ broken for anyone else?
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Looks like the price difference between +512MB and +1GB nowadays is only $140 ($119.99 vs $255.99 at crucial.com), so I'd go with ND on the +1GB recommendation.
In fact, it might be time for a memory upgrade for me!

I just learned of this msyelf and thought I'd share with everyone.
KDX by Haxial Software [link]
While KDX works very well over the Internet, it also works very well on a LAN (local area network). KDX does not require an Internet connection, and is thus suitable for use on an internal company LAN, and for home or small business networking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So, oh brilliant buffistechnologists (buffistechnologistas?), I did a quick search online, and it looks like I'm SOL if I want to watch the Serenity trailer using Quicktime on my Linux computer. Does this sound right, or did I give up too soon? Suggestions?

Hey. New board.
You are not SOL. mplayer will play those quicktime files quite nicely if you download them using a direct link. Whatever distribution you use probably has an mplayer package just waiting to be installed however you install packages, if it's not already installed.
If you have problems viewing the QT movie even with mplayer, I can try to make some suggestions, or you could just watch this XviD reencode I made instead.

Okay, here's a hypothetical question.
Let's say that someone had something on her dvr (let's call it a commercial) and she needed to get it off her dvr and onto her powerbook (let's say to put it on the internet). Burning it to DVD doesn't work because the powerbook won't recognize the DVD.
I'm assuming that there's some video capture thing that needs to be bought but, being that it's a laptop, and that I am new to this mac thing, I don't know where to start looking. I mean, I googled but it was of little help.
Anyone have any ideas?
Gris - Apr 27, 2005 11:00:32 pm PDT #2644 of 10003
Hey. New board.
Huh. Well, the question to start with is, what kind of DVR? And what software did you use to TRY burning it onto DVD? Or do you have an external DVD burner? If you have an external DVD burner, does the DVD work in other DVD players, because that could be easy to fix...
EDIT: Also, if you're still around, and you want to work faster, might be easier to work through something like AIM if you have such available.
