Guest spectr Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Spectr, for that price I would suggest waiting for the new Fuji F40fd, that is seriously giving me buyers remorse over my crappy Nikon Coolpix S6 for a couple of reasons, it's super high ISO's so you can get those in the dark shots, superior face detection hardware, and a host of other high end features for it's price. It's been available at 299.99 on Amazon for pre-order for the last month. I like my Nikon, but there are some newer ones out (from Nikon) that I wish I looked at a bit more as they were out when I bought mine. There's always something else in the pipeline, this Fuji looks like it's going to be on top of the pile for a while. Ok shit.. I might have to look into this... any other ideas on something really nice for that price range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spectr Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 wait... one question why does vista fucking suck so fucking much? no seriously, microsoft expects people to pay for this shit?

potholder Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 my copy of dban how long does it take for dban to wipe a drive? I've never used it and always been curious. I know it depends on the size, but do you have any rough estimates, for say a 300GB drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seffiks Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 why use that crap (serious?) NO DATA NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN OVER< THE DATA IS STILL THERE POLICE AND FBI ARE NOT STUPID THE HARDDRIVE WAS DESIGNED TO STORE DATA FOREVER THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF BAD DATA IS TO BREAK IT INTO TINY LITTLE PIECES AND MELT IT so again do not waste time on wiping hardrives if they want the data 10000% of the time they will get what they need so be normal and just delete the hardrive like normal with takes a few minutes and reinstall or install whatever you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUR X3 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 OKay seriously. If anyone has a camera question just ask me from now on... Don't buy a fucking Fuji anything, Fuji is just Olympus' budget company. So chances are you can get the same camera but better in an Olyumpus. Second of all, Canon is by far, period, the best point and shoot manufacturer there is. PERIOD. For 299.99 you can get a SD800IS which is probably one of, if not THE best compact point and shoot on the market. Casio is probably second right now, all their Exlim models are on point as fuck. Get a S700, that's what Lens has, and it rocks fucking hard. Anyway, Sonys are overpriced and overly complicated. Don't buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potholder Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 so again do not waste time on wiping hardrives if they want the data 10000% of the time they will get what they need in my situation, first they'd have to recover the data that had been wiped, then they'd have to break the aes encryption that's present on the drive. but to even get that far, they'd have to make it through the door. realistically, if you were being pursed by any LE, they would have already obtained a wiretap warrant and have logs of your communications and actions, which would be admissible in court. what you have on the hard drive is really inconsequential at that point.

Mauler5150 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 So can anyone on here answer my question about why my SD card won't get read unless I reboot my comp?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUR X3 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 No that's weird. My suggestion is to copy all the pictures on your harddrive then format the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah, like it reads it initially, then when I use 'safely remove hardware' then take it out and put it back in (after taking another photo) it doesn't want to read. I am stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUR X3 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Did you format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have no idea, I just plugged it in ages ago, and it read it as having photos on it. I didn't format it from memory (you can have a guess as to whether the previous owner did or not). I can't see it being a formatting problem, as when I put it in initially it works fine, just subsequent entries don't get read. Another question, I have Nero 7, and was wondering how when you add multiple video files, you can stop the titles from having a pause while they change from one file to another? Because I just want it to continuously play like a normal dvd (or maybe chapterise it but without the lag like a normal dvd). Hope you can make sense of that, because I am having trouble saying it.

Mauler5150 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah, I was thinking it might be a bit gay. All I know is that it is formatted as Canon DV1. I rebooted and it now works. Who knows why it won't work? I give up. Anyway, i was going to have the long distance smokathon with Casek last night, that is why I was gonna post this pic......

Weapon X Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Okay, I have a question. I'm using BitComet for downloading torrents. I'm trying to download Rome season 2 episode 2, but it's not working. What happened is that I had downloaded and opened the torrent a while back, but then mistakenly deleted it. Now, anytime I try to download and re-open the torrent, it says "Torrent task exists!" in a window and nothing happens. How do I solve this?

Go into program files under bittorrent and delete the old torrent file....it should be a bittorrent icon that says Rome season 2. Or do a search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest R@ndomH3ro Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Why Does Skype Read the BIOS? "Myria at pagetable.com, among others, noticed that Skype reads the machine's BIOS code on startup. This probably would've gone unnoticed if the operation didn't fail on 64-bit windows. From the post: 'It's dumping your system BIOS, which usually includes your motherboard's serial number, and pipes it to the Skype application. I have no idea what they're using it for, or whether they send anything to their servers, but I bet whatever they're doing is no good given their track record... If they hadn't been ignorant of Win64's lack of NTVDM, nobody would've noticed this happening.'" -slashdot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
