    Erik, that article about the bot-herders should scare the pants off you if you're using Windows, especially if it's sitting on an always-on connection to the Internet. I don't know much (good) about Vista but at least up until it one had a 50/50 chance of getting their new Windows computer...

    VCR tape to digital help

    [ QUOTE ] Only frags when running Fat32 file system which XP doesn't use. [/ QUOTE ] I take it that means you're saying NTFS doesn't fragment? Sorry to have to inform you, Erik, but you need to defragment your NTFS partitions almost as frequently as you did your FAT filesystems. Of course you...

    File Sizes an issue ??

    The software is great. I would recommend no changes in that respect. Before you make any changes to the server setups/locations we should definitely talk.

    File Sizes an issue ??

    It's funny that the site was down for most of the day today... At least this forum has a sensible setup whereby the forum images are called directly from the filesystem instead of via queries to the database, and the images have sensible caching directives in the HTTP response headers. Even...

    Maybe you tried to fix it, but the very image in your post above is still the 600+ kilobyte version. In the served web page, the avatar is limited to 200 pixels wide by 250 tall, even though the image itself is "physically" 1076 by 1155. The browser dutifully shrinks the image for display, but...

    File Sizes an issue ??

    I'm still stuck on dial-up connectivity, like yet roughly half the private Internet connections in the U.S. Page size in general has gotten ridiculous. Most sites seem to think that since the page loads for them in just a couple of seconds when testing a new layout that it's a cool one. They...

    Three saws to prune/ remove anything

    The few times I've had the 28" on the 066 it's been in hardwood with the bar completely buried swinging through the cut and let me tell you, with full-comp chisel chain it cuts like gangbusters. I couldn't see needing even half-skip chain, much less full-skip on a 36" bar on that saw. Maybe...

    Three saws to prune/ remove anything

    What size trees are you guys cutting? A 36" bar? My 066 came with a 28" but it's almost totally unused. I stuck a 25" on it (has better balance) and almost never come across trees larger than 48". Before dropping cutters all the way down to full skip I'd try a loop of half skip.

    Have a flashback on me!

    Must be an Internet Explorer thing. I don't have a browser (though do have several) which does anything with pasting javascript code into the location bar. I'm sure that script is benign but it's no wonder all you Windows guys have to spend so much time and effort protecting yourselves from...

    Which Bulletin Board?

    Whichever one is free and open-source so you can be sure it's only doing what you want it to do.

    Digital cameras

    The camera can't read your mind. If you want something in the foreground in focus, place the focus spot on that thing, press the shutter release enough to set the focus, then while keeping pressure on the release, compose your shot before pressing it the rest of the way. If the focus spot is...

    Three saws to prune/ remove anything

    [ QUOTE ] MS200, 372, 066. [/ QUOTE ] Back before that was edited from MS200, 361, 066 I almost posted that I agreed "with the list above". Am glad I didn't now! I usually get chastised for saying it, but in my opinion it's wise to run saws with which you can share bars/chain. The reasons...

    Three saws to prune/ remove anything

    I'd say the biggest difference is that the MS361 exists and the MS391 does not.

    [ QUOTE ] Oh well, time to move on. Why was Jesus wrong about one of his most important statements; "The time of God is at hand."? Early Christians believed in an imminent second coming. Guess they were wrong too. [/ QUOTE ] Hey, I covered this; did you read it? [ QUOTE ] Wait a minute. Is...

    Climbing saw recommendations

    I just picked up a 192T the other day. I'd have gotten the 200T but they didn't have one in stock and I needed it right away. With the narrow-kerf chain the 192T ain't half bad and it do weigh next to nothing.

    Re: Christianity Creed: A definite summary of what is believed; esp., a summary of the articles of Christian faith; a confession of faith for public use; esp., one which is brief and comprehensive. [1913 Webster] If you'd meant "regardless opposing creed" then I'd agree. Christians were...

    There is probably no God

    Re: Christianity I find it interesting that you use the term "true Christian" (hahaha!). It was mentioned earlier in the thread that some folks believe in a yet future Armageddon, etc. Those people, whether they know it or not, are denying the "prophecy" made by the very person/entity/being...
