Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Our wings are not tired

One of the theatres I design at is still using the BeOS for their audio playback system.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I have one cable channel that's all colored fuzz. Sadly, it's UPN, so I'd like to have it working before the new Veronica Mars. After waiting a very long time being told that my call was important, I got a person who kept insisting that I had to make sure the *television* channel was tuned to the channel. Both my cable box and television manuals say that you don't have to do any television channel programming, just put it on 3. After I hung up, I tried programming the television anyway. to no affect. Have any of you ever heard of that?

She kept saying, "We don't want to have to put in a service ticket, do we?" in the tones of a German prison guard.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Have any of you ever heard of that?

No. If you normally use a cable box, then you don't mess with the TV channel.

"We don't want to have to put in a service ticket, do we?"

Ummm.... yeah "we" do!

All is well that ends in pizza.

It sounds like one of the cards in the box downstream is going bad. The tech will be able to clear that up with a mad dash up the pole, or maybe pulling a card in a box somewhere.

Unless it's my house, then it'll take severl months and seventeen phone calls before someone believes I have cable issues.

This is why I don't have cable any more.

I'm trying to reload Azureus, and keep getting told I need to have port 50678 UDB open. I tried going to my Security and adding the port, but it asks me for a name, and I don't have that.

I just want some TV, man!

Help?

Is it too much to ask to find clean, dare I say it, hip, interesting clip art to update my ezine? I've slogged through what seems like hundreds of sites looking for simple designs (not photos) and now I'm overwhelmed.

Anybody have any favorite resources?

I found some images I liked at my email campaign (Constant Contact) site, but they are the wrong color. Curses.

Security and adding the port, but it asks me for a name, and I don't have that.

Call it Fred?

I was thinking Velma. But it appears to be working.

Silly responses aside, I have a question of my own.

If one had an AVI and wanted to edit it on a Windows XP machine, what software would be able to make easy edits? Remove a segment from a film or TV show, and make it a seperate avi file, for example.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

but they are the wrong color

Beej, can't you just change the color? I'd do it for you, if you don't have the software.
