Oh well, there goes my idea of starting a company to print giant realistic guns made of chocolate.-app103 (December 13, 2012, 10:57 AM)
It appears this was a Non Compos Mentis issue on my part. All I had to do was click the HD button at the bottom of the Facebook Video screen and the black squares or checkering vanished.DOH!
Though I'm not sure if I turned the HD on or off.-crabby3 (December 13, 2012, 03:26 AM)
@Tinman57: Ah! That probably explains it. I shall try and get the drivers at that link. Thanks.
UPDATE 2012-12-13 1654hrs:
The link you gave is for AA-SS1P20B/US and not AA-SS2P20B.
It looks like the SS2 (the one I have) might be a later (newer) model of the SS1 (?).
The references I can find also sometimes mention AA-SS2P20B and S/PDIF OUT Port in the same context. S/PDIF OUT is apparently a multimedia digital compression technology incorporated into some multimedia devices. I shall have to search up to see if I can find a driver to suit that can operate on my laptop. I can find no reference to such drivers at samsung.com via the link you provided.-IainB (December 12, 2012, 07:40 PM)

Actually, quite a lot. I used bittorrent through GetRight, my downloader for downloading free apps, text or pdf files, and public domain music. I have NEVER used bittorrent for illegal activities, so why should I be treated like a criminal? And why should Hollywood dictate that we should all be "monitored" online? We are all supposed to be innocent UNTIL found guilty, at least in the U.S. anyhow.What DMCA really means is "Destroy My Company, A$$h0le$"....I'm no fan of DMCA or site takedowns in general - but let's be honest here, how much legitimate content does any of the usenet indexers or torrent sites have?-Tinman57 (December 10, 2012, 06:25 PM)-f0dder (December 11, 2012, 01:15 AM)
I still have one of those keyboard cleaner things, but instead of blowing it sucks. And it sucks in more ways than one too, don't have the suction to pick up a hair off any smooth surface. I just use the vacuum cleaner attachment with the fuzzy tip....
I'm not talking about those useless pen size vacuums. This is the one I have, except it's a newer model naturally. Basically they changed the buttons to look more "modern." But the body and innards are the same. The bit with the arrow slides out. There's a small brush attachment that inserts. It has quite a bit of suction so that only the first speed is required. The brush prevents the vacuum from reaching the point of pulling the key tops off.
It would be perfect for cleaning the desktop area under the monitor, inside the case, docking stations etc. if they just provided a flexible attachment. But with a 19" CRT the angles produced by the stand are too radical to negotiate. Much easier just to blow the dust off.-MilesAhead (December 10, 2012, 11:51 PM)
Hey guys,
I am sitting here, very bored, and wondering...How did you guys hear about DonationCoder.com?
Is there anything in particular that drew you to the site? Perhaps the opportunity of getting a full Serial Key for some of mousers software? Maybe it was the wide range of discussion available here.
I honestly want to know!
Also, if we have any Lurkersw who would be willing to register and let us know why you choose not to be a member here, that would be fun too! (I realise that if your registered, you would no longer be a lurkerw...but oh well! - Register, Reply, then delete your account if you really want to!!!)
Is there anything that would make your experience here at DonationCoder.com more fun?
Any comments you guys have, would be brilliant to hear!!!-Stephen66515 (December 10, 2012, 06:41 PM)

But Sticky is a loosely related (in a third cousin sort of way) synonym of the antonym of clean.-Stoic Joker (November 28, 2012, 01:49 PM)
Nah. I've worked with glues that were very very clean and very very sticky.
For me a paper towel with a bit of alcohol is good enough. Some on a Q-Tip for the tops of the keys. And that's only on occasion. Most of the time I just vac.
Which reminds me. They used to make a gizmo that amounted to a flashlight with a small blower on the end. Instead of canned air you could just use that. Too bad the construction was so flimsy. They seemed to die in a couple of months. But it made me think of a battery-free solution that would last for years. A junior bellows. Take the thing that hangs by the fireplace and reduce it to about 1/4 size. Have it rigged out with a spring so you could work it with one hand. Just squeeze the handles and a jet of air is produced. Small enough to get in under the old CRT monitor. But nobody would produce them because they would last too long.-MilesAhead (November 28, 2012, 03:30 PM)
Every one of those measures is a nonsense and worse: unworkable combinations of authoritarianism, censorship, and wishful thinking.And this has stopped our police state how?-Renegade (December 10, 2012, 05:56 PM)
OK - if this is the way we are going let's ban science from schools and universities and lock up all current chemistry graduates as they probably know how to make a bomb and therefore could potentially aid terrorists.Yeah, here in "Merica" there's supposed to be the "intent" clause too. But somehow our legal system has managed to tread all over that as well.
If the Telegraph statement is accurate an appeal should be pretty automatic - in British law 'intent' has to be present to allow a judge to convict. Given that the judge stated there was no intent the prison sentence (in fact the conviction) should be thrown out easily.
Personally I think the judge should be locked up because he done more to encourage terrorism in that statement and sentence than the plaintiff!-Carol Haynes (December 10, 2012, 05:44 AM)
Regarding the OP quoting the smartplanet article: I ran this by our agency psychiatrist, who is quite the expert in addiction treatment. He says this new drug's mechanism of action isn't really understood, and that it isn't ready for public consumption.-kyrathaba (December 09, 2012, 12:23 PM)
And this has stopped big pharma in the past how? lol Hell, two of the prescriptions I used to take have been pulled because one caused bladder cancer and the other one did something else bad. Probably memory loss. lol-Tinman57 (December 09, 2012, 07:30 PM)
Both good points.
Have a search to find out just how many billions in fines they have paid.
Oh, and did I mention that it just came out that Big Pharma was paying the East German government for unknowing/unwilling/uninformed human experimentation before the wall came down? There is NOTHING they won't do for profit.-Renegade (December 09, 2012, 09:11 PM)
I've wondered if a "computer dinner" is different than a "TV dinner"? Am I so weird that I am the only person who has thought about this? Is a "laptop dinner" different than a "desktop dinner"? Would a "mainframe dinner" be a multi-course feast. A"supercomputer dinner" would be Molecular gastronomy.I think it will all lead up to a.....-Arizona Hot (December 09, 2012, 03:45 PM)

Ah yes, I remember now. Anyone ordering/reading this book would be put on the FBI watch-list. This happened sometime in the 90's I do believe.-Tinman57 (December 08, 2012, 08:15 PM)
Supposedly. Word was somebody claimed to have seen a list obtained from FBI files released under FOIA that listed people who were ordering the book - mostly from Loompanics Unlimited. Several people also claimed to have been targeted by the FBI for nothing other than ordering books from the same source.
I don't know if it was ever actually proven. It may well be an urban legend. Besides, the FBI had files on everybody back then. Often for the stupidest of reasons. Probably still do since "keep busy" is the watchword of most federal agencies who are looking to justify and increase their operating budgets.-40hz (December 08, 2012, 08:22 PM)
