<0> buy*
<0> I'd never consider anything but blacklight, but have it your way
<1> when I startup, there is a long time between the appearing of the "account selection screen" and the windows xp loading screen, which is a black screen. Is there a way to reduce that lenght? Like turning of some options or things like that, changes in registry...
<0> try microsoft bootvis
<1> tried that one
<1> are there no direct options or registry settings that I can manipulate?
<0> check msconfig for unneccessary applications running at startup
<1> what is loaded between the XP loading screen and the user selection?
<2> Ar`Kritz: well, my concern is that most red cathode light kits are cheap pieces, and I want a nice vivid red, not some wishy washy pink
<3> how do i find a product id? like on the computer
<2> Angelus`: What?
<3> I said how do i find a product id? like on the computer
<2> Yeah, but I didn't catch what you meant, exactly..
<0> nago: cathode lights are cheap period, and blacklight makes any light surface look awesome
<4> curry, u still around?
<2> Ar`Kritz: I can see that we wont have further beneficial discussions ;)
<2> Know of any good modding communities? :>
<4> what are you trying to do nago?
<0> nago: ok, let's agree to disagree ;)
<2> Oh, I just want to see what brand of CCFL kits are good. I want a nice vivid red. :>
<4> pctoys.com
<4> check them out, pretty good prices
<4> and great products
<4> for modding
<4> i have used them multiple times for different projects
<4> if you call them, ask for tim, he will take care of you, tell him shawn from computer solutions told you to call him
<2> I have a few pctoys things, yeah, they're usually pretty good. The only 12inch red cathode I see, though, is from Logisys, and I've had uncannily bad luck with Logisys products
<3> nago do i need to use smaller words?
<2> but I could drop him a note and ask anyway, no harm done
<5> #intelligent for smart pros people who make things happen
<2> Angelus`: Sure. Whatever helps.
<6> hey anyone know of any *nix software that will compile an avi into dvd format and burn to dvd-r?
<4> better off to call them, i have found that he can hook me up with stuff not even on the website
<2> Hrm, alright. I'm not a big fan of the phone, but I'll jot the number down :>
<2> Thanks.
<4> no prob
<4> this freaking computer, err
<2> Burn it!
<4> ****ing dells
<4> i hate them
<2> Spray carb choke cleaner all over it, then snip the fan wires
<4> pieces of ****
<4> lol
<4> sounds like a plan
<6> <4> this freaking computer, err <--- so which is it? a computer? or a dell?
<2> fwooooosh!
<4> give it back to the customer and tell them it had a compustible issue
<4> hahahaha, solet
<2> One of my friends way back in highschool had a gateway that he let burn down on purpose...there was a scorched mark in the motherboard and it was on fire, and he was still playing counterstrike just fine
<2> so, it's true- CS will play on just about anything
<4> lmao, nago, thats funny
<3> nago I mean can you read yet?
<4> i repaired a computer that was under water for 2 days once, but these dells are a pain in the arse
<2> Yeah, it died shortly after, but I don't know how a motherboard can burn out like that and not immediately shut down
<2> Angelus`: I'm still working on it, just give me a few more years, I'll learn this language eventually.
<4> angelus, whats the problem
<4> maybe i can help
<4> <-knows a few words, ****, damn, hell, and **** :)
<2> All the important ones!
<4> yup
<4> multiple uses also
<2> http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/images/products/6875/6875358cv1a.jpg Hooray bestbuy!
<4> http://www.blowfish.com/catalog/toys/alt_vibrators.html hahahahahhahah
<4> solar powered vibrator, lmao
<4> wtf
<4> there selling point is.......
<4> Put the power of sunlight to work for your ***ual pleasure!
<4> hahahaha, thats the funniest ****
<2> Oh, I had another question. When I'm soldering led lights to wires, I find it a real bear to insulate those wires afterwards. Suggestions?
<4> heatshrink
<4> is the best way
<4> you can pick it up even at radio hack
<2> I have some, but maybe it's the ghetto kind..it's either too small to start, or I can't shrink it small enough for a tight, clean fit
<4> http://www.weicowire.com/tableofcontents2.htm
<4> there u go
<2> rad
<2> I've been soldering for a while, but I'm still pretty much a nube
<4> thats what i started out doing in my profession, just takes practice
<4> http://cableorganizer.com/heat-shrink/heat-shrink2.htm
<2> yeah, I'm somewhat good at it, but I don't really have any supplies since I moved out of my parent's house
<4> thats some good heatshrink there
<2> all I have is a cheap 5 cent clamp, a pencil iron and stand, and some silver solder
<2> makes doing wire-to-wire soldering a bit of a bitch :>
<4> all your doing is soldering wire together, you really dont need anything great
<4> just remember to flux the wire ahead of time, will make it alot easier
<2> not sure on the term, but you mean coating the wire with solder?
<4> hold on
<4> http://www.vishay.com/company/brands/measurements-group/guide/tt/tt609/609b.htm
<4> read that
<4> flux makes solder flow better
<4> most solder has flux inside of it also
<2> ohhh, that stuff
<4> thats what the percentages stand for
<4> higher the flux ratio, the less heat and easier it is to make it flow
<2> lets see..what do I have.. it's not 60/40, some other shtuff
<4> usually the thinner the solder, the better also
<2> 96% tin, 4% silver
<4> whats the flux rate though
<4> should say on it also
<2> doesn't say
<2> it's from radio shack :P
<4> hrm, its only a couple bucks
<4> is it thin or thick stuff?
<2> .032 in diameter
<2> it's like a pencil graphite width
<4> damn
<4> thats big man
<4> your not soldering pipes together
<2> not normal pencils
<4> i would suggest getting very thin solder
<4> easier to use
<2> it is pretty thin! .. maybe it's not inches
<4> ah, im thinking of the graphite of a regular pencil
<4> your talking about the refillable types
<2> I'm thinking of the mechanical ones, like one of those sticks of graphites
<2> yeah
<4> yea, thats not bad
<2> :>
<4> http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=2377
<4> will help you come up with the best tin/silver ratio for what your doing
<2> haha, I'm poor, so this will have to do for now
<2> the soldering isn't so bad, I just have troubles making a good solid connection between the wire and the somewhat rigid led ends with nothing inbetween
<4> solder is very cheap
<4> even top end solder is less than $5
<4> ok, buy some flux
<4> its called paste flux
<4> comes in a shoeshine can
<3> I would love to register but to do that i need the product ID and i don't know where to look and you retards just sit there spouting **** out your mouths!
<4> then dip the ends of the led leads in the flux
<4> then add a tiny bit of solder
<7> hi
<4> do the same with the wire ends
<4> then combine the 2
<4> will make your life easier and you will see it works better also getting good connections
<4> http://www.seattlerobotics.org/guide/images/flux.jpg
<4> is what it looks like
<7> does anyone know about DSL?
<4> anyways, i was a electrical tech for quite a few years and had to do that **** every day
<7> like if I get DSL router, am I able to use my computer wireless from anywhere?
<4> canon, yes
<8> flux is elite
<4> canon, no, just within the area in which it covers for your wireless connection
<4> usually it will be inside of the house, unless you add a amplifire
<8> not miles away
<4> amplifier
<8> but usually in your yard
<8> for example, i could use my wireless in my truck in my driveway
<8> or in my backyard
<7> if i add an amplifire then I can be on the laptop wireless on the train?
<4> you could add a tower in your backyard about 200 feet up in the air, and buy a 400db wireless antenna, lmao
