What's new in Episode 126
STUFF
• 1366x768: This is not an HD resolution. OK, it is, but it's really annoying.
• Power supplies... is there an advantage to putting 'em at the bottom of the case?
• Camcorders: SD vs. HD for Marcos in Brazil
• Thanks Lee, for the heads up on Weatherbonk.com. Weather meets the Google map API!
• We're going to CES in Las Vegas next week, you can come see us! We're taping Sunday at 1PM, Monday, Tuesday and Wedneday at 4PM. Our stage will be in the Sands Expo Center lobby, outside of Hall C. (The shows will be available for download Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning!)

Just curious as to how you guys ended up with the quasi-hd resolution for the video. Is this the native video resolution the video is captured at, or is there some aspect ratio manipulation that takes place.

Now that you have sponsors do you think they will buy you a machine that can get us a show within 24 hours of original airing?

Another way to speed up Firefox for all broadband users.
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
Again don't do this if you are on dial up, or edit the max requests to a lower value if you are on a slower broadband connection.

I may have miss heard the power supply question, but when the power supply iss at the bottom, the case is configured for the BTX form factor not ATX. hope that helps.

The video of Ronaldo's ex-wife and the guy was taken in PUBLIC by someone with the camera, not by them!
So I dont see an issue with it, it's not like Britney sued over her underwear malfunction since it was very much in public. I can't beleive you'd get things so wrong with something you discussed for that long.

This is one of the frist times I have watched past the credits and noticed that you guys included some of the special features from A Scanner Darkly. Whats up with this? and I'm guessing you liked the film as did I.
