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!
Well Allyson, that's easy, then YES Yes you can return the card. Glad to be of help! ;)
I am not sure how I am destroying these DVD players! I have to buy a new one every four months or so, and last night my most recent DVD player has now decided that everything I put in it is a bad disc!
I wonder if your getting enough air flow for it. Is it sitting on top of of the cable box? The amp? Something pouring out a lot of heat? Is it enclosed in a bookcase with no room on the sides? A glass door blocking the front? Just an idea.
As for Skype. I've got my bluetooth headset from the phone working on the computer, so I can walk around the house and talk on Skype and not be tethered to the computer at all! Just an idea if you have BT on your computer.

But then no webcam!
Sure, we don't have rocket-cars that take us to the moon. But there is still some cool stuff.
I thought the question was audio only. However, if you wanna webcam, it's still nice to not have an echo or a headset cable. IJS.

Hmmm. This may be it. There are a lot of books piled on and around it.
I think I will get a new, cheap one, a power strip, and try and keep it clean! One of my firends said he will take it and look at it and see if it is just the motor-- I guess sometimes he can cobble things together from other machines people give him.
Okay--I hadn't noticed this because I'd been converting over to iTunes format, but the last few .720p.hdtv.x264-gothic.mkv files don't play with VLC on the Powerbook. What am I missing here? It's not urgent or anything, since I'm still going to be converting over for Apple TV use, but if I wanted to watch on my Mac, am I looking at installing a new app or a new codec (this'd be the first time codec's have come up on this box, see)?
hm. My airport keeps telling me, "connection failed."
Is there anything that would make that happen? It's all set up, green, shows my network in the network selection pane, but can't seem to connect. Keeps timing out. The airport is on the shelf under my computer. Shouldn't have any issues. Odd. too tired to be frustrated.
Anyone know anything about the LiteSpeed Web Server. Is it really much better than Apache? My host is offering a free upgrade, but I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle.

Please get a surge protected power strip, Sophia. Preferably one rated for electronics.

Jon B. We share a host. Apache is working fine for me at the moment. I gather the upgrade will be available indefinitely, so at the moment my plan is to let the pioneers take the arrows. I would actually be interested to hear the answer, but even if LiteSpeed itself is great, I would rather not take part in the initial migration when I can do it after they've had a little practice with this particular transfer.
