	Thank you. Now I'll run back to the manual and find out exactly what  
they say I should use (now I'm confused and not sure) and be back with  
the same questions about price, quality and where to find them.

[CGUYS] iTunes Exclamation Problem?

2008-01-14 Thread Richard P.

I've been working with iTunes and have discovered a problem that keeps 
showing up. I keep getting an exclamation point next to some songs 
without warning or reason, indicating that the song can't be found. I 
just spent the last 2 hours going through and re-importing about 100 
songs. While re-linking, I kept seeing other songs pop up. After I got 
it all done (or so I thought), 100 more showed up, and they look like 
different ones. I'm new to this iPod/iTunes thing so it could be user 
error but if it is, I don't know what it is.


Also, is there a way to re-import the files as a batch, or is it one by one?

Any suggestions? TIA!

Richard P.

Re: [CGUYS] Canon Pixma printer ink question

I bought a set of compatible carts for my Epson on Ebay for a fairly

I then needed a couple of extra black carts and bought them from the 
retail end of our recycling company (www.inksmile.com) and they 
turned out to be the exact same ones.

Well, climate change is undisputed (though some of the non-consensus
view scientist were arguing against even that - though the most prominent
of these as much admitted that human caused climate change rub against
his religious sensibilities [he was the guy at UofAlamba, iirc, who claimed
the satellite measurements of ocean temp contradicted the idea of warming -
and it turned out his data was dependent on some erroneous assumptions,
all part of the scientific process).

The more problematic is determining the cause.  This is harder to pin down,
and we really only  can make probabilistic statements, rather that assert
"facts"."  The scientific consensus is that the current changes appear to
be consistent increased greenhouse gases from human activity. I don't
have any problem with that.  We do have to remember that all of this
is about not just what the uncertainties are but what you do in the face of 
uncertainties.  And this is invariably subjective and will reflect our 
individual
interests and beliefs.  So it is a bit counter-productive to treat people that
disagree with us  as simpletons who don't understand cut and dried science.

I say 'us' because I don't own any corporations and have very few
 right wing or religious beliefs or friends that I need to protect, I AM 
shit-scared about what will happen in the lifetime of my children.

[CGUYS] Missing Drivers?

2008-01-14 Thread Harvey Simon

When I try to use Netflix's online movie player I get the following  
message:


Your computer's video card driver may not support the Netflix Movie  
Viewer. Sometimes simply rebooting your computer will fix the  
problem. If not, please obtain the latest driver from your computer's  
video card manufacturer or its web site, install it, reboot your  
computer, and try to play a movie again.


I'm running Vista with Paralles on a MacBook.  Until recently I'd  
been able to use this Netflix service without a problem but recently  
deleted some files and fear I may have accidentally deleted the driver.


What am I missing?

Thanks.

Re: [CGUYS] High quality brand (non SDHC) SD card?

2008-01-14 Thread db

SANDISK and Lexar, the two "quality" brands that I am familiar with 
,don't seem to be making anything bigger than 2 GB SD cards in medium to 
higher speed  models (60x  ... 9MB/sec ... or better) that are suitable 
for digital photography. 

All of their bigger cards (4GB etc.) are the new  SDHC format which my 
camera will not accept.


I went to their websites:
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1063)-SanDisk_Ultra_II_SD_and_SDHC_Cards.aspx
http://www.lexar.com/premium/index.html

When  you are taking you SD cards in and out of the camera all the time 
to swap cards etc, the small SD card's case gets stressed.  The AData 
card's case was noticeably flimsier than my SANDISK cards and the case 
eventually started breaking up while my older SANDISK cards are as good 
as the day I bought them.


Surely someone knows of a quality 4GB 60x or better SD card that is not 
SDHC?

Subject: [CGUYS] High quality brand SD card?

I want to buy a DURABLE high quality brand of SD card with medium speed 
RW capability (~9 mb/sec but don't need  the fastest speeds 
available).   (It's for for my Canon digital camera which can also shoot 
video but doesn't RW at the fastest speeds). 

I have had a 512MB and a 2GB SANDISK Ultra II SD card for a while and 
they have been great. 

More recently, I bought a A DATA 4 GB 133x SD card which has been 
lousy.  I had formatting problems and then the thinner plastic case fell 
apart.


I am looking for another 4 GB medium speed SD card but my camera cannot 
use the new SDHC cards and it turns out SANDISK does not make anything 
bigger than the 2GB Ultra II SD cards.  Everything in larger sizes is 
the new SDHC format which my camera will not accept.


Can anyone personally recommend another quality brand of SD cards other 
than SANDISK?

Thanks to all who responded to my original questions about this. The

Re: [CGUYS] Optical drive firmware questions....

2008-01-14 Thread Tony B

Probably just a hardware failure then. Maybe intermittent; a dust mote
on the laser, or a crack on the circuit board. May come back soon, may
not. I personally doubt the firmware upgrade was responsible for
'fixing' the drive.

Again, you've gone to much more effort than I would have. I'd be more
worried about a _lasting_ repair and would likely have just replaced
the unit.

Re: [CGUYS] Optical drive firmware questions....

2008-01-14 Thread Fred Holmes

It's always possible that some software "upgrade" broke something.  If it was 
an MS patch that broke it, the drive manufacturer may have decided the easier 
route to the fix was to change the firmware of his product.

I've had a lot of things get flaky at some point in time, and have often 
suspected that some MS patch had broken something.  If I had the time, I'd try 
going back to an earlier OS state and see if that fixed the problem.

And it may have been the drive manufacturer's fault.  Everything may have 
worked with "loose" coding of both firmware and driver.  MS may have tightened 
up the driver, and it broke something.  The answer was for the drive 
manufacturer to tighten up the firmware code.

I guess the restored functionality after the firmware upgrade puts the

Re: [CGUYS] Must see TV...Off Topic????

I just watched a show on the Science Channel, I think. Can't remember
what it was called, but it had to do with 7 people of differing
abilities who where at the top of their fields and then measuring
their intelligence in different ways. However, one of the things
brought out in the show was that people get smarter as they get older.
It had to do with a Scottish(?) government program that gave a very
wide IQ test to the population. They then found these records, found
those who were still around and gave them the same test. I think there
must have been about a 60-70 year period between the first and second.
They said in the show, those given the test were 11. I can remember
them saying something about those who later took the test being in
their 80s.
The mind is a wonderful thing. Learning how it truly functions is
something we probably will never do. We could probably mirror our own
grasp of it, but fulling comprehending it? I doubt it.

I think that we all need to keep an open mind (small as it may be)
and many different opinions should be welcomed. When science
sorts out the various opinions, then we will be closer to fact.

An interesting and distressing series apropos this discussion is
"The Hidden Workings of Our Minds" at http://www.spring.org.uk/2007/12/hidden-workings-of-our-minds.php

Based on experimental findings...

1. When coming up with their explanations, people don't seem to
access the correct thought process(es). If they do then it only
happens when the explanation is plausible.

2. Sometimes people do report the correct reason for what they've
done, but it's probably only a coincidence.

Makes one humble.

When you finish your movie, save it as DV, or it can be a compressed 
.mov. I use Roxio Toast to burn DVDs. It can do video DVDs, including 
menus and scene selection--if you've added markers in the original. In 
the sidebar, choose Video --> DVD Video, and select Options at bottom 
for setup choices. Drag and drop the video onto the window and continue 
from there. Use any picture or photo for a background in the menu. You 
may have to read the help files for this, or ask the list.

An interesting and distressing series apropos this discussion is "The 
Hidden Workings of Our Minds" at 
http://www.spring.org.uk/2007/12/hidden-workings-of-our-minds.php

Based on experimental findings...

1. When coming up with their explanations, people don't seem to access 
the correct thought process(es). If they do then it only happens when the 
explanation is plausible.

2. Sometimes people do report the correct reason for what they've done, 
but it's probably only a coincidence.

Makes one humble.

Re: [CGUYS] Canon Pixma printer ink question

Back when I was feeding an Epson inkjet I found that third party inks 
worked surprisingly well. I experimented with very inexpensive ink and 
found that it worked as well as expensive ink. I'm sure there are 
companys out there who cheat their customers, but I never had any trouble.

I have switched to toner and am happy I did so.
