[CGUYS] Server restrictions
Formerly I was happy to have access over a different network that didn't relate to my primary ISP. This would be in keeping with my belt and suspenders approach to most technology. I reasoned that a backup strategy would be preferred in the event, etc. So I have a dialup account which I have maintained religiously for many years. In fact I was among the first 1000 subscribers to what was then erols.com. The TV store that became an ISP and then got bought out by what is now RCN. With some changes along the way. I think PEPCO was involved at some point. Anyway, my question is why do I not own the network connection if I pay for it. I pay to access RCN and I pay to access VZ. I'm sorry if this looks like a whine, but it was transparent up until recently. I could access RCN servers over a VZ connection with no problem. Now that appears to not be an option. I absolutely understand network diversity, I'm a professional manager or supposedly so at this. But my perspective is necessarily limited by what I do and where I work. Any insight would be welcomed, this situation is a major pain. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I know you can load multiple addresses and have it plot the route. Then you can change the order yourself to optimize.

If time is money, then the fact that you can import footage in faster than real time is gold. If the premise is that there is enough footage to require more than a couple of tapes, then that becomes hours to ingest the footage into the editing system. The weak part of the tapeless system is that leaves open how to archive the footage. You transfer the footage from the memory cards to the hard drive, but then what? The memory cards get wiped and reused but then that leaves the footage... on a hard drive? The memory cards are better for workflow, but at some point I would want the footage stored on tape for long term.

Re: [CGUYS] silly Recommendations
I think most electronic studios have gone to HD/Computer storage away from tape. Tape is a notoriously fickle and unreliable medium for storage. TV studios use mostly HD storage for their studios, along with radio stations. Radio is almost totally Computer driven these days. They can sit at a console and program their whole day including commercials etc. (I have been at a studio for one of my club activities when we actually read ads on the radio. Cramps their whole day.) Stewart At 06:10 PM 12/5/2009, you wrote: You think a $4000 HD video recorder is an appropriate investment for entry into video production???

Re: [CGUYS] WiFi SD cards
How does one tell/notice that that is happening? Maybe mine does it too, or does it only happen on Mac USB ports? I haven't read the manual. I have both an Olympus FE-5010 and a FE-370. In practice, when I connect my camera to my computer, I simply transfer all the pictures from the camera to the computer as a batch, disconnect/shut off the camera, and view the files on the computer using one of several photo viewers/editors. So the battery drain on the camera is negligible. Fred Holmes At 11:26 AM 12/5/2009, tjpa wrote: >When I connect my Olympus digital to my Mac the camera powers itself >from the USB.

Re: [CGUYS] Apple rejects and why
Depends on the front. HTC has put a lot of work into it's SenseUI, I use it on the android phone I have and there is a version for windows phones. On WM it only goes so deep, so eventually you end up back at WM and some of the screens in that OS haven't been changed for years. Suddenly you are staring at a screen that looks like WM 4. On android it makes a big difference too, it's very clean and easy to configure. My phone has seven home screens which can be customized in almost any way from full screen widgets to 1/8 sized screen widgets showing almost any kind of info, launching apps etc. This IMO is another advantage over iphone which can show almost no info without actually opening apps. Verizon just got a version of the HTC hero on it's network, the eris, it's like 100 bux and is a good strong phone. Basically the same phone I have. Verizon left that phone alone, I'm not sure if they disabled GPS like they have in the past. One of the reasons I didn't go with Verizon is the level of control they pound into that phone, I've got a GPS chip, let me use it without having to pay even MORE.

Re: [CGUYS] Apple rejects and why
Worth reading: NYT has a long analytical story about the App Store and Apple's competitors... App Store Is a Game Changer for Apple and Cellphone Industry http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/06/technology/06apps.html "Still, the App Store is markedly better than the alternative, says Peter Farago, a marketing executive at Flurry, a mobile analytics company in San Francisco. Gone are the days when mobile developers had to negotiate with major telecommunications companies if they had any hopes of publishing their applications on a mobile phone." “It took six to nine months to build a relationship with a carrier, maybe a quarter-million to get the infrastructure built, and the company took 50 percent or more from each dollar,” Mr. Farago says, a process that limited access to mobile platforms. “Apple has helped create a much healthier middle class of developers and expanded the pie for everyone.” M$ has only 800 apps in its equivalent of the App Store and is quoted saying this is because they are "emphasizing quality." * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I think the memory makers were faster on the draw with this one...but yes there are wifi enabled cams I posted a link on another thread about sugarsync. This too is handy with phones as you can auto sync between cloud and your camera phone pictures. It will do it automagically and where ever you are, not just in bluetooth range of your computer. Take a couple shots while you are out and about...get home, leave your phone in your pocket and the pics have already been sync'd a folder. Handy. What happens if the wifi breaks on your camera? Will it still take pictures? At least this gives choice, imagine your wifi on the cam breaking, you can replace it easy by just buying a wifi enabled sd card.

Re: [CGUYS] Google free DNS
Who would you rather have tracking every IP address you visit? OpenDNS? Google? There are no secrets in your Internet activity (without using some serious anonymity techniques, that most people won't or can't). When I first read the subject line, I was hoping that "free" modified "Google" as in Google doesn't have its hooks into this. Google is a Democrat conspiracy to track everything anyone does on the Net. Fred Holmes At 12:01 AM 12/5/2009, Tony B wrote: >I've used OpenDNS for so long I almost missed this.

So old in fact that it is really hardly news anymore at all. The reality is that just about any egregious abuse that can be conjured up by communications providers and government is what will be perpetrated upon the public. Its been widely done and publicized previously in differing flavors. Much of the public became outraged, government looked into it, decided that they liked it very much and "pardoned" the industry for their transgressions. Those previous "pardons" served to tell the comm industries that just about anything along these lines that they do, as long as they are in concert with government, and even if not legal, are acceptable and desirable. Are we not in the Information Age? Does anyone not understand the meaning of that term? Do we not openly refer to our current decade in that manner? Additionally, we are also in a National Security State, replete with our own Department of Homeland Security. Are we not engaged in an unending war that was identified as such by the administration that launched it? How much more evidence of our situation is required for folks to either sheepishly accept our status or to try to do something about it?
