Because. That is what your HD DVR is for. Don't have one? Too bad.

COMPLIANCE

Compliance with what. I just told you that I would be completely

It's called HDCP, little boy. I caught up years ago. You are in the

These most certainly don't work in all weather conditions. The kinds

If those small receivers had a test point for a meter (and maybe they do)
you could probably make it a lot more reliable.

Most of the microwave links I've done were for Nextel cellular. I asked my

Here's one for you. I saw the first Xerox Star workstations, the

Where did Arcnet come from, know it all? That was before ethernet.

Yes, technically Arcnet was first, but it was also proprietary at that time.
It had to play catch-up to Ethernet AIR and didn't amount to much until the

An analog meter of some kind would seem the sensible way to do it, but then

Pretty much. It works well enough though, the signal strength reads pretty
high (even over 100% on some transponders ;-). But I could tell by watching
him, that it could "hear" the sat over a surprisingly large arc of dish
movement. Seemed quite forgiving. I put a DirectTV dish in back in the mid
90's and it was pretty picky about pointing. I'm sure SNR's and gain are

(pre-Knoxville worlds fair)and delivering them, jukeboxes, pool table,

in satellite again. The IR job ended because members of my family were
murdered, and I went back to Cincinnati to be with my family, and WAS

kill him before the door guard cop could stop me. My family stopped me

No matter what you get, if the protected content flag is in place,
the hardware won't let you do full resolution with it.

How often do you think it won't be set? During commercials?


It won't be there on ANY of your claimed to have the right to
material, like off your HD camera. You WILL NOT be able to record
your DVDs or HD DVDs at full resolution, nor should you be able to.

Grow up, little mad man.

WTF are you talking about now? I don't have an HD camera, and I don't try
to record HD DVDs (though I think you mean copy/rip not record). I'm not
trying to "steal" anything. You are just jumping to conclusions as usual.
OTOH, why shouldn't I be able to rip my HD DVD to my MythTV box and play
them back as HD? Huh why not? It's only fair use. You just don't get it.

I bet none of those have analog inputs, do they? If you think a
Dish box is going to feed an HD signal to some HDMI capture card,
your crazy.


The output device feeds it, period. THE INPUT device is where
decisions get made as to whether or not you get it in full res.

BONE UP, BOY!

Well, there you have it. Just how ignorant you really are about this techy
stuff. It's a negotiation. If what you say were true, then recording the
signal would be a cakewalk. The playback device will most certainly not
hand the signal off to a device that it doesn't trust. It's that simple.

My gear has gone up on several weather balloons (NOAA), and looks at

Your gear?


When you make only three of something (HV supplies, and they beat the
**** out of two of them, and send the third one up in the balloon, and
it is NOT an off the shelf item, it gets VERY personal. So yes, MY
gear. MY HAND ASSEMBLED, BENCH TESTED AND CHARACTERIZED BY ME,
CERTIFIED COMPLIANT BY ME. HV supplies. Custom orders are like that,
as was the half rack 50kV, 250W supply we made for one of the two
national labs I mentioned.

Hell, even the normal production run groups we made for SAIC to go
into the Geiger counters that are used on Nuke subs and ships were
VERY personal devices.

ALL of my **** works top notch. Highest specs in the entire
industry. 0.000006% ripple on an X-ray supply used for looking at
buried gas pipes in city streets, and new production pipes in the
factories where they get made. The better the DC, the better the X-ray
flux, the better the contrast ratio.

You, on the other hand, have a system rampant with viruses, and a
****y little boy attitude that nobody else in the world could possibly
have escaped such attacks. When in fact, most companies do NOT have
problems with viruses.

Grow the **** up.

I have done what I have done, and all your "liar liar" baby bull****
cannot change that fact.

You don't even understand the points I'm trying to make, yet you
argue on....non stop. As for DRM, how long should Mickey Mouse be
denied his rightful place in the public domain? His creator has
been dead for decades. Or don't you understand the plain English in
the Constitution about "for a limited time"?

The Disney Studios have that PROPERTY, not the dead ****er, you dumb
****.

John Lennon is dead, but you won't see the individual or the studio
that has the rights to his works placing them in the public domain any
time soon... EITHER.

Can you really be THAT ****ING RETARDED?

How long does it go on? It's supposed to be for a limted time, not frigging
forever. Mickey Mouse is like 100 years old now. Where's the limits? Why
do you defend this DRM stuff so viehmently? You will grow to hate it, I
promise. Just keep buying tech toys and you will see.

In general I think you're 100% correct that there's been significant
pressure from the RIAA/MPAA/etc. applied to the well-known
manufacturers such as ATI, Happaugge, etc. to *not* released non-DRM
encumbered capture products.


Wrong. It was LAW and the standard from the get go.


Wrong, AFAIK the law never prohibited making HD capture cards with analog
inputs. Unless you could back up your claims.

****ing retards, all of you that don't know about modern Hi Def.

Making some more friends are you?

you ever will.

e's not wrong. You have to mount the filesystem with special
arguments to write to it.

No, you don't. ALL drives come up read only on Knoppix Live, and
always will.

You have to make them R/W and it can be done via menu with a few
mouse clicks.

You are so ****ing thick!

You don't even understand what is going on behind the scenes. You just know
how to use a GUI, how lame. Stick with windos, it's what you deserve.


It does NOT matter that it MAY or MAY NOT perform a command line
operation in the background.

The fact is that it is NOT how you say it is.

You don't deserve ANY OS, with the stupid **** you spew.

Knoppix, it's gui or anything you "click on" have little to do with the NTFS
kernel driver. Try actually installing Linux and working with it from the
command line (for 12 years) and then tell me how much you know about it.


I have been running linux, BeOS, and DOS, as well as variants of
Windows, and other OSes for years.

Linux, in particular, since '96. I know more about it than you think,
but you spew "liar" every time someone challenges you like a little
two year old.

So I can scan it using another windos machine dufus. A Knoppix CD isn't the

I never said it was. You , on the other had, diss'd the hell out of

I'm a programmer that became and admin out of interest. I now am a PC tech
because it's easy and the pay is good. I'm self employed and I have tons of
free time (too much it seems since I'm burning it up with you). The real
problem is lame-brains like yourself that think that because they can boot a
live-cd they're a pc expert.

No, idiot. I used to install Linux. Now, booting from a LiveCD
ensures that I have the latest auto-detect routines, and likely the
latest drivers available and the greatest ease of service. You do
know what ease of service is, right?

I fix allot of stuff that people like yourself
fixed first. I charge extra for that.

Sure, bub. I don't **** up systems, I fix them.

You're a ****ing dweeb that can't even keep viruses from running
rampant through your company networks, and I am supposed to believe
you fix other people's **** ups? You ARE the **** up, in my view.
