Gave us: I own a Casio Exilim EX-Z55 5.1 mp that does fantastic macro autofocus shots. i just can't imagine it getting better than that. I'll snap a pic and post it. And you'll lose. That is a lame camera choice, but seems par for someone that "can't imagine". It's 4 years old, and it's doo doo. |

For someone that brags about having so many millions trickling through your company, one would think you could afford a modern scope. Bwuahahahaha! It's a Tektronix 11801A 20 GHz sampling scope. I got this one on ebay. The current version, with a couple of sampling heads, would cost about $70K. The 11801A has a magnetic-deflection, vertical raster scan color CRT, which is very difficult to photograph. The Cybershot, even on a 2-second exposure, has all sorts of goofy scan artifacts. The distortion is real, namely on the screen itself, not a result of the photography. The snap I posted is the rising edge of an output pulse from our first all-CMOS digital delay generator... http://www.highlandtechnology.com/DSS/T560DS.html We had the formal release party for rev C this afternoon. The trigger-to-output path passes through 10 distinct CMOS stages and we've managed to get the prop delay down to 20 ns and the jitter below 20 ps. Sounds spurious. :-] |

The former work reliably in all weather, but they have AGC voltage test points to find the peak signal for perfect alignment. Do the residential satellite receivers have anything like that?

"Anthony Fremont" wrote in message If you lose reception on a sattellite (3 LNB dish here) and tune to a channel on that sat, the fun begins. The receiver immediately throws up an error screen and refuses to pay attention to most button pushes. I've aligned point-to-point microwave dishes, but not satellite dishes. The former work reliably in all weather, but they have AGC voltage test points to find the peak signal for perfect alignment. Do the residential satellite receivers have anything like that? I suspect they're designed for installers who aren't equipped to measure a voltage. They have a "Sat Buddy" or something like that, no display just a speaker. They hook it to the LNB and move the dish around. It beeps as they point it. They basically seem to center it between the extremes that it loses lock at. Pretty simple IMO. I'd prefer a meter of some kind, but it seems to work alright. Surprisingly (or not) these guys know very little about how any of this stuff works. These most certainly don't work in all weather conditions. The kinds of rains we have here in houston really seem to knock them out for a while sometimes. But it can come down at rates of 8"/hour. I'm sure DM won't believe that either. |

Are you saying that you can get right up to your screen and you can't ever make out _any_ compression artifacts? If so, then you're still a liar and you're blind. You're an idiot. I ALSO know more about High Definition TV than you do, as well as the transmissions of their signals, as well as what I see when I examine such a transmission. I worked at General Instrument when all of this started, so I have been in it longer than you could ever have been, and have a deep understanding of compression technologies. I have worked on SCPC, as well as MCPC systems, and you likely don't even know what either of those are, even though every transponder you ever hooked into uses them. Looks like you didn't even get what you paid for. Isn't that how life pretty much works? Depends on who you are I guess. Bwuahahahahahahah! The question is, when are YOU going to start paying attention. Try some of the online reviews posted by HD, and home theater type mags, to start with. For what? Dish is the only game in town for the most HD channels that aren't basketball oriented. You have no cable in FL? Sheesh. No kidding. When was I ever kidding? |

Customer enters product code, and VIOLA! weight gets taken, next item, please. I was right then, you don't actually buy any yourself. Do you have the "product codes" all memorized for the hundreds of different items? You weren't right about a goddamned thing, BOY! The produce area HAS codes right on the product labels up on the bar above the display trays. When you bag it, you tag it, and you mark the code on the bag, and it is only a four digit code, so don't go getting your bloomers in a bunch whipping off retarded remarks about bar codes, dip****. You are SOOOO ****ing stupid! You could be a bit more retarded, just not in this life. |

Idiots like you contribute to the volume that real folks that need assistance end up waiting on. I agree, I'm sure you need plenty of assistance. No, but when I do call the DMV or wherever such a system is in place, I don't conceive of some lame conspiracy either. Good job, ditz. Conspiracy? I was just pointing out the standard dialogue that you get from these things. |
