Wash ,'The Message'
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!
Any Canadianistas around? We're trying to equip our Toronto office, only apparently nobody in Canada sells professional A/V equipment. Or watches TV.
Is there ANYWHERE in Canada where one can buy a multi-standard DVD player??? (We need to buy in-country for tax reasons -- otherwise we'd just get everything in NYC and ship it up.)
I could look into it for you. Bay Bloor Radio (for example) are a high-end audio/video phile place, so may not be what you're looking for.
They sell Pioneer among other things, and Pioneer does multi-standard, don't they?
ETA: sorry Jess, just realized you were looking nearly an hour ago and probably have something by now.

Nope! I've been working on other things - my supervisor is actually the one handling this (I don't rank highly enough to spend money on my own). I'll pass the links onto her, though - thanks very much!
[eta: And for this piece of equipment, a high-end consumer deck will be fine. We did finally manage to track down one of the THREE Beta SP decks in Canada. I guess all those TO production companies just smuggle their equipment over the border...]
Okay, did what I should have done in the first place, and called my buddy Brad, who's a steadicam operator for a few leads
Precision Camera (Sony) [link]
Cinequip White (Panasonic) [link]
Best lead is probably Applied Electronics (various) [link]
You totally rock.
Hivemind in action!
How well-implemented is AJAX? I just read this excellent tutorial that makes me want to use it on my website, but if older browsers, or like Opera and Safari, don\'t play well with it (as is hinted at here), then I don\'t want to bother.
How well-implemented is AJAX?
Since AJAX isn't a well-defined term, there's no clear-cut answer to this question. It all depends on what JavaScript features you are planning on using.
Good point! Initially, I\'m interested in using Javascript to call a php function. The result of that function would replace the contents of a div without reloading the page.
You know what's more boring than copying stuff off old zip discs to dvd? Copying stuff off old floppies to dvd.
