are you talking to yourself ? hehe... I bet it looks like that. It's comments from other users that did not bother registering and just sent an email. I still think it was a good discussion and put it here... Not only is the menu text tiny. The article text is decreasing :? I'll look at the CSS whe...

Are you talking about the Yamaha PDM-4210 Plasma Television?

Does the plasma actually have two displays or are you talking about picture-in-picture functionality?

Nice to see someone who knows his ways inside the PS2! It sounds like your problem is more electrical than mechanical. That is, it is not a jammed drive but instead some failed component (a single capacitor can cause this issue). Without having an descriptive electrical chart for the PS2 there is no...

The "Value" package (32MB card) costs 24,700 yen. The other package (with 1GB card) costs 30,000 yen. The second option is a good deal as you get a speaker dock and some other goodies (check online for the full list). Don't yet know the firmware version, as it's a Christmas pressy so I ha...

I don't have any experience with that camera. Getting it working with my 2100+ was hard enough :-(

Just try support again, different staff know different things.

If you require a camera for commercial purposes I would recommend Axis.

Have you forwarded all the required ports on your router (web port 81, and 3 ports for the camera (control, sound, video) usually 5001-5003). The video feed works when logged in directly to the camera (66.225.33.124:81) but only in http-v mode which suggests that the video/sounds ports and not being...

I have 2 JAP games only. Lumines is 99% in English and Ridge Racer is 100% in English.

Back in May there were only JAP games out but now with US and UK games out there is little reason to by JAP games... I think.

The JAP game market has some cool RPG titles that will never get translated... shame.

There are torrents "out there" with PSP games so yes it is possible. But the downloaded games will only work on modified (hacked) PSPs so you will void your warranty. While the PSP games are expensive I find them very long lasting and I only buy one at a time. I think this together with th...

The way to unlock a phone depends a lot on the make of the phone. Older Nokia phones can be unlocked with a remote code that is deducted from your IMEI number. Not sure about newer models. Sony Ericsson uses stronger protection so you cannot get a remote code deducted from the IMEI number. Your oper...

The NETWORK lock that I am talking about is the restriction to only be able to use your own network for calls. Often it is cheaper to use other networks which is why people want to unlock network locks. I think you are talking about the phone or SIM lock. For this you have to get a PUK number from y...

Isn't the audio embedded in the video stream? So if you can pull the video stream programatically, you should be able to get to the audio as well. Maybe the software from security.com is used with cameras with video only and as such does not support audio. Is it open source by any chance so that you...

The video is MPEG4 (high compression) and using UDP the video looks very fluid. I have upstream of only 25Kb/sec and am using medium quality video. The quality degrades quickly with more than one person connected due to the low upstream :-( Over LAN, using maximum resolution and quality. I recon it ...

Yeah, I have seen that problem before. The piece of plastic is there to hold down the DVD firmly while it is spinning (I think). If there is not enough contact between the DVD and the plastic bit, you will hear scraping as the discs is spinning under the piece of plastic. Not sure how to fix that ho...

I got a decent DVI cable from PC World.

They also have DVI to VGA convertors.
