I love dl.t.v.
how ever!! they need better lighting. the live feed is to dark.! open up the budget and get better lighting for that room. and the wall panels don't look good at all. the lights glares on the back wall.!! any how,love your show. ill keep watching. are u gonna do any e3 gaming coverage?

tom.

I can agree with the lighting, but i think the walls are kinda cool. Could be worse. =P

Love the show,

I can agree with the wall thing, it kinda looks like you guys are recording in a metal tool shed. Maybe a hot chick with big flashlights would light things up lighting dept.

My co-worker just asked me what I was watching, lol! Why, this ep, of course! So, I am tryng to get him hooked on DL.TV! We'll get 'em, one at a time, lol! ;-)

Keep Roger on the show. Let Heron hold the camera.

The tech viewer, that commented about Roger Chang's glitches, during a previous show are what I like in DL.TV entertainment. That viewer needs to reveal to this DL.TV tech community, what egotistical tech savvy persona she has, so we can evaluate her merits accordingly.

To all the DL.TV staff, thank-you for all you're hard work contributions, in providing excellent by-weekly tech shows for all of us to enjoy... Roger keep-up the good work, and ignore egotistical remarks as such in the future.

Patrick Norton, should also add ALSO NEVER Try and repair a broken apple Notebook your self. did we ever hear what became of that notebook?

Thanks for showing off Handbrake Roger...I noticed while you were mentioning it, the camera showed the screen saying it supported Windows, so I immediately went and tried it out, since I was wanting to get into easy H.264 encoding, and I love it. I was previously using AutoGK, but I wanted to move away from XviD and go towards H.264 to get better quality in the same amount of space. So yeah, it works like a charm on the Windows side too.

hey, you guys should also mention, that if you visit merzo.net with Internet Explorer you can drag the items to really compare different things when their right next to each other. That way you don't have to keep scrolling. :-) Great Show!

In response to Roger Chang's comment on Thursday's show regarding that: "Vertical thingy shape on the keyboard" | Its the pipe character.

The name "pipe" for the character "|" was a natural consequence of its usage in Unix shells, where it is used to notate the usage of the unix pipeline construct.

go figure. . .

Hey, don't tell that guy to solder his case leads, it is really easy to fix. I used to do contract work for major retailers and sometimes the replacement motherboards didn't match the pin out of the case leads so I had to work this out on the fly.

If you look close on the black plastic connector there is generally a small tab that holds the brass pin connectors in the plastic holder. Simply take a pin or x-acto blade tip and lift the tab and the brass connector simply slides out. Determine the proper position of the leads and reinsert into the black plastic unit paying attention to lining up the brass connector to engage the plastic tab. If the new motherboard has two connector blocks you can sometimes take your razor and cut the black plastic in two to create two connector blocks.

Trust me this works great and saves a case replacement.

Be carefull with Power Supplies from (some) Dell & HP/Compaq PC's. They don't always have standard pinouts so using them on a new m/b may release some of the magic smoke. As for the front connectors: its sometimes possible to release each actual wired single connector from the plastic & insert it into a normal 2pin connector.

I have to take exception to the "Dell parts can kill" response you gave. I was recently rebuilding an older (866 Mhz) system for use as a file server and used a known good Dell power supply to replace the faulty one from the original box. When plugging everything in, I noticed that the PII connector went on harder than normal, but didn't think much about it. Big mistake. Turns out Dell's PII connector has the directional tab in a different location than standard. Long story short, puff of smoke and busted mobo PII connector. New PS and new board on order. Bad day.
Love the show, keep it up.

I'm responding to the Dell components not working in other computers discussion. I took some classes at a nearby Community College and the Instructor of this one class said that "Compaq" computers weren't as good because they are/were proprietary as well. You couldn't add any non-Compaq hardware without running into problems. Is that still the case since HP makes the-now "HP/Compaq" computers or are they still proprietary?

Roger is a great change of pace. Love the show. What happened with What's New Now? Everyone too busy?

Ouch Roger. Ouch.

I was behind a couple days on my DL.tv watching. I woke up the morning, went out, spent 2 months of hard earned cash on a new used Pontiac Grand Prix. Tonight, still a little happy with that 3.8L driving machine parked in the driveway, and Roger tells the world how cheap and plasticy my new used car is ;) Roger Chang, always a way with words ;)

Is Sunrocket out of business? I've been a customer for about 2 years and I can't make calls. Furthermore they don't take calls. I heard they fired everyone at their call center, whats up?

Don't sweat it, Nick! I drove a Pontiac Bonneville for ten whole years, and that thing lasted and lasted! Not that I didn't just throw it over for a new Caddy, lol, but still.........I loved my Pontiac!

SunRocket is no more in the list of VoIP providers. I am recommending Lingo to SunRocket customers. In my opinion, Lingo offers comparatively better services to VoIP users. At present, they have good promo offers for SunRocket customers such as monthly $21.95 promotional calling plan and annual $195 calling plan plus one month free, free shipping, free activation, free equipment and 30 day money back guarantee. I think this could be a better option for SunRocket customers.
