What a sad sad day! So you’re saying that plugging the coax into the STB upgrades the signal, and then shooting it into the tuner with a coax is basically downgrading the signal again?Coax, composite, and s-video can only carry a 480i signal so if you are using any of these from a STB you are only getting a 480i picture.
You must use HDMI, DVI, component, or VGA to get a 720p/1080p picture from the STB.
The primary reason for this is that the signal coming into your STB is has a much higher bandwidth than the one that STB is able to transmit to the TV.
It’s kinda complicated. Just accept you won’t get digital over a coax once it goes through the STB.

They work well on the Wii although I had to format mine on a GC first.

I was just editing, heh. I have verizon fios. To access any of their good channels (other than 2-49), you need a set top box. I am curious on how you connect their service to a tv tuner card (do I plug in a coaxle from the wall, do I need to plug the coax out from the STB, etc. ThanksWhich is exactly why I asked. You would not be able to access anything other than their standard cable without a decoder box so getting a card based around a TV tuner would be pointless. Since coax cannot carry digital signals in the quality range that you’re going to want I recommend not even bothering with a tuner at this point. You’ll never get the use out of it that you want and to even come close you’d have to spend a good chunk of money. I would wait until someone releases a card that has component or HDMI input.
yousillyGoose said:
ps- it seems like something called “IR Blaster” allows the tuner card to control the set-top-box? Is that the case?If it’s a universal remote it should be able to. It most likely would not be able to access the more advanced features of the STB.

Vista was just plain awful (and I used it too, and it was as awful as XP was stable).XP was much less stable than Vista and took three service packs to get to a useable and reliable state. I think it’s funny how everyone forgets just how terrible XP was for the first 4 years of its existance. Vista become stable and mostly reliable after the first service pack and with SP2 it’s even more so (statistically) than XP SP3.

The Mac is definitely a good machine (for the money). And because it’s on a Unix base, it’s about as stable as XP was (and that can only be a good thing).For the money, Macs are terrible machines. They cost about 75% more than their competition with identical hardware. OSX is only stable until some tiny little thing breaks then it’s pretty much a reformat every time.
Also, did I mention Macs come with terrible gaming performance for the price? A $1500 Dell will get you a hell of a gaming machine but $1500 of Mac can barely touch solitaire.
We had nuke in the very first rotation I made and I caught nothing but hell over it after a month or so. It’s good every now and then but if it comes up at a bad time it’ll kill the server.
RTM (release to manufacture) is the real thing.
I absolutely love it and haven’t had any significant issues with it yet.

I only see a few things on the list… I don’t think I have enough powerz to work on the database control of the admins… I’m not sure it’s what you meant.It’s not. What I meant by that was Liam had a plugin on the servers that allowed SM to pull certain things from the forums db. When you reloaded the admin list in-game it would query the forums db and pull who has it in the forums, tie it with their steamid in the forums and the write the resulting list to the admin file.
I’ll have to confirm it with Adam but if this is something you’re interested in working with I can almost guarantee you the access you need to make it work. It would take about 80% of the work out of managing admins in the servers.
Keep in mind you can copy game profiles to other Wiis. All you need is one profile with everything unlocked and you can copy it over to the others.
LOL I like that graph.
IE8 supports almost nothing yet the web looks 10000000000000000 times better in it than it does in Opera. Yet again proving my point that designing your product around the ACID test doesn’t make your browser any better.
Btw, IE8 only has partial JPEG and PNG support and no TIFF support? That’s like every picture on the internet. I call bull*edited*.
I also recommend you look at my todo list. It has several things that need doing as well.
Some of which I didn’t know how.

Another thing that could be worth a shot at trying is maybe adding Zblock,since it apparently just stops Bhopping completely. But hey im no expert on it so dont quote me on it unless you do find out that its true.Zblock does absolutely nothing. Period. It doesn’t stop hackers, exploits, glitching, walling, scripting, anything. All it does is keep legitimate mods out of our server and *edited* off everyone else who does manage to get in without getting autokicked for some obscure setting or not having a good enough video card.
YahooEarth said:
zblock doesnt stop true b hoppers, just scripters…But back to ad’s…if the 1.*edited**edited* server has them, why can’t we?We do. Or did. If we don’t I don’t know why, they’re on the server and set to run.

tron would be a better place for it. Lets get one up. Take your time.I’ll install it over the weekend.
All PC council leaders now have access to their respective servers. Sorry it took so long.
Adam Faulkner: I added the TF2 CL (shatteredvoid) and L4D CL (owocm) to the correct forum group.

Obama brought up ideas to use in the new bill by republicans, even an idea from the guy I voted for, McCain. I dont really think hes making any republicans “take it like a man” and deal with the new bill.Take note of reasons 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6.
NuRayZ said:
ObamaCares for you.What’s the GOP alternative? Oh yeah Insurancetakesallyourmoney
Actually the GOP’s plan was to fix Medicare and roll the ~30% of uninsured legal Americans who legitimately cant afford it into the financially stable version of the program. This allows everyone to use the existing infrastructure and wouldn’t interfere with the private sector.
Btw in case you weren’t aware. 21% of the uninsured make over $75,000. That kinda conflicts what you’ve been told so so here’s more to chew on. ~40% of the total uninsured have household incomes of over $50,000. When you subtract those who can afford insurance and the illegal immigrants you discover the uninsured in this country is actually a very small minority, one that can easily be rolled into an existing program without re-arranging all the pieces over.
YouWinGameOver said:
but from what I understand you aren’t going to watch him because he’s a dem? That’s bull*edited*. I watched most of George’s speechs…I didn’t watch it because:
1) He doesn’t control what gets passed in congress.
2) He doesn’t know what congress CURRENTLY has in the bills.
3) The current bills would destroy the private industry.
4) The current bills would force me on the government plan when I graduate.
5) The current bills would force doctors to base my long-term healthcare solely on family history. With a history of heart issues, I’m a goner at or around 60.
6) He’s blatantly lied about the bills in the past. The death panels were really in there, written so vaguely that the panel could refuse care to anyone at any age for any reason. I don’t watch anyone give a speech where I know in advance they’re going to lie. That includes Algore as well.
7) I knew he’d blame the republicans for not passing this without debate or discussion.
8) I knew he’d blame the public outcry on “fear mongering”.
I can do this all day…
I do believe I said Teamspeak was free-er a long time ago.
We could very easily host this on TRON with almost no additional load. If you want I could install it and give you two superadmin and let you configure it how you want.

Video games are extracurricular, unless you plan on become a game designer.So is extreme weightlifting, tennis, and ultimate frisby. The difference is that I am required to take a phys ed class based on one of those.
I think it’s awesome that a school gives that option to those who’d rather use their phys ed requirement doing something they enjoy rather than running around a track.
When you look at it from that prospective, it’s really not that big of a stretch. I mean WCU gives you credit for playing ultimate frisby and disc golf. Smash bros is no less of a sport than that.
My bad it was Owoc that I was talking to. According to the meeting minutes, he was elected to fill the position at the meeting.
If someone was elected to something at an official meeting they need to be the one that fills the position.
If there’s a student that wants to do it, they need to have priority over alumni and non-students. That’s how I set the system up. The alumni are here to teach new members how to do their roles but they should only be used to fill the roles under extreme circumstances.

I’d get in touch with some of the folks in RageQuit.rQ is full of sketch players until you watch them in RL then they become legit.

2) What if we got rid of the map “rotation” entirely, and just had a vote towards the end of each round for a map out of a list of all possible maps, which the community would pick out?No.
Btw, did I mention no.
I’ll uninstall windows from the server if you do.
EDIT – For clarification: The last time we did this it completely and utterly killed the server. Like 0 regulars. We switched it back to rotation and it was semi-popular again in a month or so. Full a short time after that. Lemm can do this if he wants but I think I speak for all the alumni when I say it’s a bad idea.

Update 2: Gomez stated that he is not the CL for L4D.Gomez still thinks he’s the CL. He’s also asking for login credentials.
Please straighten this out.

As I descended the stairs, my roommate says “Obama is about to make a speech, don’t you want to hear? It will change history.” I promptly head back upstairs and enjoy the comforts of not being apart of history.I lol’d.
Hard.

For the private WoW server you have to get in contact with blizzard and go thru a bunch of people and you never quite get to anyone who really knows what the hell is going on.Sounds like fun. Can you link me to the starting point of the maze?
This question is worthy of a double post:
Why did you, as a republican, watch his speech?
Obama said:
And to my Republican friends, I say that rather than making wild claims about a government takeover of health care, we should work together to address any legitimate concerns you may haveMost of the wild claims he’s referring to either were in the bills or still are. According to Obama, as a republican, it is your job to lay down and take any change that he and the democrats want to push out on the American people. If you have a legitimate concern, you may voice it, but it will be ignored.
Obama said:
Instead of honest debate, we’ve seen scare tactics. Some have dug into unyielding ideological camps that offer no hope of compromiseIt’s hard to compromise when the democrats want only their way. Anything other than their way means the republicans aren’t compromising enough and are using “partisan tactics” to get their way.
Need I remind you that they’ve changed the rules on this so they can break a filibuster with 51 votes? Their goal is to get the public to support this, which they aren’t. Right now support for healthcare reform is lower than it was back when Hillary was pushing it through.
adam37 said:
Bump.I am a republican who agrees with obamas new plan he talked about tonight. Discuss
What does this version have?
Or better yet, what did he lie about and say this version had that it really doesn’t. It’s easy to get confused because Obama himself doesn’t know what’s in the bills floating through congress.
