Shielded cat5 is only used by particular, specialized equipment. Odds are, all cat5 (or cat5e or cat6, for that matter) you've ever used was unshielded. BTW, here's a place that sells bulk cat5 (and cat5e) very cheap. It doesn't come with the crimper or plugs, but this isn't a temporary deal...

http://www.arrowx.com/info/ is their new temporary status page. -=Marcus

www.useddvd.tv sells them for 50 cents apiece. -=Marcus

<< A lot of people have been mentioning this "Jetprint" paper. Can you purchase it from a regular stationary store? Is it a exclusive brand? Does it work better than the Epson paper? >> Heh, not really. Jetprint has several different lines of photo paper, all of which are awful. You'll...

<< I've been using Trillian for a few months now, for MSN, AOL, ICQ... It works pretty well. On the negative side, I have to close it and open real ICQ to transfer files. >> That's been fixed since version .7, if I recall. I use it too, although IMO it's still a bit unstable, and I can't...

<< Just be sure to check the dates on it (yes, film gets old). Some places clear out old film cheap. If it is old your pictures just won't look as good as they should. If it is new and you do stock up, be sure to put it in the fridge or freezer. It will last MUCH longer that way. Same goes...

It is disputable whether the difference between them is noticable, especially on normal video equipment. The best way to tell is try it yourself. What you would notice is less mpeg artificing (blockiness, and distortion around edges). BTW, the Costco web site will let you order even if you...

<< how is it compared to the sony my sony is coming in the mail >> The thread I linked has lots of comparison. The iMP-350 is better in most people's opinions. -=Marcus

I'm not sure if it's been getting worse lately or if I've just been getting less and less patient, but loat times on the forums are consistently poor. I get about 8K/s from the site on my dsl (I get much more from most sites), and the html itself is so inefficient that each post, no matter how...

Sounds like marketingspeech to me. Is BigDoggie from the dark (x10-emplyoed) side? Are posts on AT their latest annoying and questionable marketing practice? -=Marcus

Here's a lot more images, in a direcotry: http://down.iriver.com/sampleimages/ I'm thinking I'll go down to their store and buy one monday or so. -=Marcus

Funny thing about electric cars is, if you take into account the pollution from the power plant that produced the electricity the car gets charged with, they're actually higher emissions than traditional gasoline cars. -=Marcus

<< max resolution is 640x480, eep. 720x480 is NTSC standard, I love my Matrox RT2500 :D >> No it's not. TV is analog, and although people often equate the scanlines to mean 480 resolution, there's no such thing as the 720 or 640. Both of those resolutions are ridiculously excessive for...

<< The quality of this thing has been widely reported to be VERY POOR. 480x480 is NOT high enough resolution for most people. And the captures are not DVD compliant spec. The ADS USB Instant DVD continues to amaze me. It works so great. Captures are "DVD legal" spec. Caps can be used by...
