Thank you both for the help -- at this point i've tried just about everything i can think of, including changing channels, and using OpenDNS instead of the Comcast servers. I changed from open/WEP/WPA/WPA2, and saw no change there either.
This is a 3 year old router, so perhaps it's time for an upgrade.... :(

Hi
I'm finishing an animation which I need to burn to DVD for a client.
Flash gives me the option of saving quicktime files with different resolutions. I'm thinking 800 x 600 but it appeared really pixelly in imovie.
I've just bought toast 6 which allows you to drop a quicktime file straight into Toast and it then converts it to DVD.
I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good resolution to render the movie in?
Thanks
David

What he's doing is not so bright, but that's what he's specialized in, crack DRMs, and he's old enough to want to make a buck or two, you can't blame him trying. Sure it's not a long term plan but like any full-on criminal, he will try to break into a bank before he get's caught (again) and send to prison - regardless how much people want to rally for him - it's not really legal (sure, flame me if you're a lawyer). Breaking into someone else's house and sell a copy of the key is not exactly bright not matter what you think about the house.
End of story, I hope he'll learn his lesson one day... but I doubt it. good luck but he won't survive the legal system.

you have to stop thinking in computer terms and do it in video terms, I guess your project is for broadcast so you have to render at D1 pal resolution at 25fps

personally I think there will be loads of macbooks on ebay due to the upgrade. They hold the value though so what we thinking? �8-900 ? somewhere in between.

Just a couple of thoughts (background... I shoot a 5DII, have 750GB of images, and have a MacPro with 6.5TB of internal storage + external no-caddy drive bays for backups).
Don't buy 350/500GB drives. They're older technology, and they're no longer the most cost effective in terms of GB/$.
The sweet spot for GB/$ is in the larger disks - 1TB to 2TB - and these disks will also be faster, as the data is packed tighter on the disk surface. You'll read more bits off the platter for every disk revolution.
Make sure you have a good backup strategy in place - and design that from the very beginning. Back up to external drives and try and keep a copy offsite. I also use an internal partition as a TimeMachine disk - just for my boot drive.
Edit. Oh yes... one more thing. RAID IS NOT A BACKUP... and don't trust anyone who tells you it is. RAID will ONLY protect you against disk crashes, NOT against accidental deletion, theft, water damage, electrical glitches, virus action, fire, accidental damage which together are more likely than a disk crash. To be safe, you need three copies of data, one of which should be in a separate location.

if it hasn't been said before, then I'll say it. It'll be out when its ready.
You can't rush jailbreaks, there are bugs and glitches that have to be ironed out first. Even then you'd still have to compile it into a nice neat package so idiots won't brick their idevice from not following simple directions that require more than 3 steps. Just have patience and enjoy the OFW while you still can before you jump over to the jailbreak and appreciate its offerings more...when it's released that is.
an easy way to keep up to date is to follow the normal iphone devs and hackers on twitter like geohotz, musclenerd, comex, ...i'm sure there are others, they always post updates and repost news links and such.

I was reading into OSX lion and apple states this:
''Multi-Touch gestures make everything you do on iPad easy and intuitive. Now a richer Multi-Touch experience comes to the Mac. Enjoy more fluid and realistic gesture responses, including rubber-band scrolling, page and image zoom, and full-screen swiping. In Mac OS X Lion, every swipe, pinch, and scroll looks and feels more responsive and lifelike.''
So how does this differ from the current use of the trackpads for macbooks? they can already swipe, pinch, scroll and zoom. So how is this different? Is it just more fluid and sensitive? Or am I looking at an awesome upgrade to the mac trackpad? (which is already far superior to a mouse!!)

+1 on that. I hate when people jump on the bandwagon.
When I was visiting my grandma a couple years ago I asked her who she was voting for, she said Hillary Clinton... I asked why.... she said "Because Obama is a Terrorist" ... wow, news to me... not a fan but not a hater, lol. I asked where she'd heard that, and she said the news. I asked her to clarify and she said "All my ladyfriends are talking about it... Fox News discovered he had ties to terrorists in the middle east" ...
Fortunately for her, I was quickly able to "enlighten" her to reality.
Unfortunately for so many, especially in forums like this, people repeat what they hear. Twice today already I've run into people saying there are issues with devices they don't have. They get that info from somewhere... so comon, consider your sources before you post. While MR community is a good source, it's not necessarily accurate. Unless you come up with an original thought, don't stated it as fact, precede it with "in my opinion, based on......"
If you want to just propagate BS and repeat what others have said, return your apple product, because iPhone is clearly a defective product thanks to Consumer Reports opinion that it's unable to place calls because of it's antenna design. Oh, and cancel cable, because Disney Corporation is a bigot corporation who hates all jews, muslims, and gay people. LOL, ugh, people, don't be sheep.

I can't resist reporting this article, because it contains this sentence that you don't see very often:
"Surprisingly, Howe said, their inspiration came from cockroach legs."
Rather than build a robotic hand that could avoid mistakes while grasping a variety of objects, researchers build one that can correct mistakes on the fly, which is what humans do.
Despite its four-fingered form, the resulting hand has several human characteristics. At rest, its joints are opened from 25 to 45 degrees, and the joints at the base (our palm) are more flexible than the joints of the fingers. Dollar also added sensors to detect when a finger touches an object and the angle of the joints. While the hand automatically adjusts for many small errors, the sensors enable it to compensate for larger miscues.
The result is a very simple hand that can grasp a wide range of objects. It could become a platform for future household and service robots, where the ability to grasp different objects is important.

lol 1 last question is is it 1 cable or do i have to buy the adapter? i looked online for just one cable but i keep getting the adapter instead of 1 cord. but my guess is that you have a regular optical cord then plug the 1 end into the adapter? :S
It is one cable, as shown here:

Line to start outside FoodCourt asap. Let me know if anyone else is going, lets Meetup!

Thanks, Dante. Your patient elucidation is much appreciated. I use my desktop for music production, and my laptop for everything else, including photoshop stuff for CD covers, etc.; the next step is consolidation into a single machine (now that I've sold off a ton of synth hardware and am more in-the-box). The color accuracy is obviously not the be-all and end-all for my applications, but I wouldn't want to save a couple of bucks and end up with something I couldn't use in everything I do.
I saw the HP in person today for the first time, and it does look great. As for the form factor element of the equation, I like the fact that it can be lowered on its stand to where the screen is almost sitting on the tabletop, and the screen can be turned L-R without moving the stand. I have a nice couch off to the side of my rig, where I'd like to be able to turn a 30" monitor for an occasional evening's DVD-viewing with friends, and hadn't yet figured out how this would "go" with an ACD (this studio arrangement is new; previously my couch was behind the main seating position at the rig).
Most of the above is doubtless more than you need or care to know, but let me finish my blathering by thanking you again. Best,
vic
I hear yah, and I do care: selecting a monitor always gives me fits!!
It is always good to get feedback. Yes, that HP is sweet in every respect and adjustability is a strong point. I love that factor. The ACD is weak in that area.
You'll be fine for CD covers: I have done a few of them for clients -- the HP would be good for them especially given their small form factor (that is, it is not like you are going huge pages with giant blocks of color).
Good luck with whatever you go with.

Using GSP and Iphoto only makes sense if the photo's have the GSP location information as part of the photo. So that mean that the Camera taking the picture has a GSP reciever in it, which is great outside, but GPS does not work indoors

Not surprised.... Disappointed in the lack of competition for Apple.
From what I've heard the Zune had some nice features. I think one major downfall about Zune is that you have to buy Microsoft points (that's my experience with my Xbox). That is a major pain and inconvenient. It's not simple for the user. I hated spending more money for something then I had to.

I had just finished grad school in June and had taken my first real, full time "adult job" as a teacher. The attacks happened while I was in class, so neither I, nor my students, had any idea anything was wrong. A few minutes after class, a student came by with eyes wide saying "The World Trade Center is on fire!" (his reaction was one of excitement ... of conveying big news). I patronized him but didn't believe him (the kid was, and probably still is, a bit of a troublemaker).
Then a student came to the office of a colleague (next to my office) with the same news. That's when I hit the web and found that I couldn't access any news anywhere.
My colleague and I conferred, and about 15 minutse later we heard someone say "The tower collapsed!" My colleague and I ran downstairs to the TV in the lobby -- that was when the horizon of the enormity of the thing first crossed our minds.
The rest of the day was spent between silent TV watching and comforting the kids who came to our offices.
