this is with roadrunner business class at my college apartment.  The results are EXTREMELY varied though, later in the evening it'll go down to like 400 Kbps 

I finally found a fix to this problem, it's apparently some "color profile" issue.

Everything looks good now 

I checked on another computer with that same image too though, and it looks like how it does on paint on my other computer, on Windows Photo Gallery and Photoshop all the images look like they're too dark or something, it's driving me nuts

If you have all the service packs and windows updates and everything on the nlited disc...my guess would be 3ish hours (assuming you restart the comp after those installations that tell you "u must restart your computer")

Yup, here's MS Paint next to Photoshop

I just got a new computer a few months back with Vista on it and I've noticed that there's an image distortion problem

Basically, anything image i look at in the standard windows picture viewer shows up with the wrong colors. I opened up Photoshop and it seems like I have the same problem with that as well. However, when I open up that same exact image in Paint, it looks fine.

Here's a picture of the problem:

Any idea what's up with this?

I have a spare Wireless XBox 360 Controller for Windows, and on the package it says it's "Dual Platform".  Does this mean that it will work with the 360 too (without having to buy anything else)?  I don't really have a need for it on Windows, but if it works on the 360 as well...then I figure I might as well just keep it (got it for free...thinking of ebaying it).

guys i hope the people i have sent accept the invite

check your spam email sometimes for it

and enjoy joost what are the 1st impressions ? does it buffer a lot ?

do the adds annoy you ?

got the invite, thanks!

    * 1. Can I please get an invite to Joost?

    * 2. rmomin at lonestar dot utsa dot edu

    * 3. Reason: I've been hearing about this Joost thing for a while now, and it looks really coooool, and i wanna try it out!

    * 4. Tell all your friend to check out their speed at testmy.net <<already been telling them =)

is that really ur mom shug?

maybe he wanted a sex change, and decided to experiment

My friend is trying to crop scenes out of a movie so that he can put them on his iPod.  He tried using TMPGEnc 2.524 and said that the audio doesn't work when he cuts the video into the part he wants to keep.  The file is xvid avi, if that makes any difference.

Do yall know of any programs that might be able to do what he's trying to do?

Good choice, i have the older version of that laptop (Inspiron 9300).  I'm guessing they don't offer the GeForce 6800 card anymore?

I'm sure some of yall are going to think this is horrible and mean.  But this cracked me up like nothing else has in a looooong time.

Blooooooduh.  Faaaaneeeee.  Bebejugga.  hahahahah

i wonder if Time Warner in Austin, TX would acknowledge this as well...$45 for 6mb connection is seeming kinda pricey

Oh? since when isn't porn copyright protected? i'm sure all the guys and gals prefer to be properly paid for their hard work rather than having it distributed for free.

and aside from that i think saying i'm spreading propaganda just because i speak my mind is unfair. i could say you are spreading propaganda for a left wingnut group of your choice because you rail against law and order.

if you're going to take the right winged conservative stance, then the people producing porn shouldn't even be doing it at all, much less getting paid for it.

politics wasn't initially part of this topic; it should be kept that way.

richcornucopia you're obviously knowledgeable about speeds but you're careless.  "Mbs" and "kbs" mean absolutely nothing.  In the case of your post you have mistaken "Mbs" for the actual term"Mbps" standing for "Mega bits per second" and "kbs" for the actual term "KBs"

Your numbers are accurate if you make these replacements.

BUT for all you speed weenies who want to sound intelligent next time you open your mouth at a lan party here are the facts.

bits SUCK, likewise so did technology in the 70's I mean come on, the first cell phone was the size of a backpack.  At the time transfer speeds were being developed the speeds were all measured in bits/second (don't confuse bits/s with baud it's a common misconception but they are not always equal)

computers are extremely powerful now and have enormous capacities.  Your computer (I assume most reading this are running some version of windows) shows you all your files in KB, MB and GB and some crazy dude might have a file that says TB.  These are "Bytes" Kilo, Mega, Giga, Tera, respectively

1 Byte = 8 bits

8000 bits = 1000 Bytes = 1 KB

We do everything on computers in the Kilo, and Mega Byte range.  Luckily some idiot decided that data transfer rates, LAN, WAN, Serial blah blah, should be measured in bits.  GREAT IDEA!!  Anyway no sense in arguing, what's screwed up is screwed up.

So your lovely cable/dsl/dialup providers give you these pretty numbers in kbps or Mbps.  and here is the easiest part.  If you learned to add in 1st grade you can calculate what the rates are actually moving at so that it is relative to an MP3.. Because last time I checked nobody said here just grab my three-million three-hundred twenty-five thousand ninehundred twenty-five bit MP3.  NO.. he said here it's just under 3 Mega Bytes

Cable provider says you get 768Kbps, sounds good.  Well lets check

768 Kilo bits per second = 768,000 bits per second

Divide 768,000 by 8 to get how many Bytes... = 96000 Bytes

and 96000 divided by 1000 (Kilo) = 96 Kilo Bytes or 96KB WOW

or I could cheat and see that it's already in Kilo bits and divide by 8

768/8 = 96KB  By todays High speed standards, that sucks.  11 seconds or so a MB that's 30-40 seconds for a 3 min MP3

Okay a tricky one for that math wiz

3Mbps okay I like to use the tricks of the trade.  rather than convert a bunch of times make the Mega into Kilo and divide by our crafty bit -> Byte conversion.

3Mbps = 3000Kbps

3000Kbps/8 bits = 375KB

There we go now we get our 3 min MP3 in 10 -15 seconds

Okay well you get the idea.  don't make mistakes with your "B" = Bytes and your "b" = bits and you'll feel good. 

If anyone made it to here I applaud you for listening to my rambling.  I Hope I made someone smarter and the dumb more confused.  Good Day.

daang, lol, its like Cisco class in highschool all over again!  Nice explanation though, i needed a 'review' on that stuff.

the sad thing is that you think it's funny to be breaking the law?

whoa...I wasn't aiming to portray that I think it's "funny to be breaking the law"...even the OP seems to have taken it lightheartedly (note the three laughing smilies)...so no need to get all uptight about it.  nowhere did i say i'm supporting it, i was just going off what the OP posted.

uploadingit.com--home of the porno!

i guess this is why the majority of websites don't allow super large files//certain file types.

i gambled there when i was 15.  i was with my father and my uncle though, and it was only slots.  but i won like $20 on the quarter machine, and it was still 'gambling'.  i remember some lady came by and she no doubt saw me and i thoguht i was screwed, but to my surprised, she asks "Can I get you guys any drinks?"...lol i was like wtf?

so, age limit=15. 

a software application called speedfan - may work for you to control the fans speed

http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

You may have to use some of the commands / switches to get it to work

Good Luck

he said he already tried speedfan.

I use Notebook Hardware Control, maybe it'll work for you.  http://www.pbus-167.com/nhc/nhc.htm

Thats a new one on me. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like it just like windowblinds from stardock?  Not a big fan of that product but think this visual styles may be pretty cool.

nope, visual styles aren't related to windowblinds at all.  they use the actual microsoft theme system to apply themes, thats the beauty of it

why would you give google the information you should be keeping in outlook or something like that? or one of the many free calendar programs?

So i can access it from any computer.

that, and because all the stuff on the calendar isn't anything super personal, its just test dates, school calendar, etc, so i don't really mind if Google has that info or not.

lol, its meant to be =)
