  1. Okay so now that I have free time (track ended and football isn't that crazy yet) I want to fine tune my home network.

    Here is how it looks now.

    Modem>Router

    >Desktop

    ))Laptop and Xbox

    I would like to use my desktop as a home server type of thing, while being a full functioning computer.

    So I would like some suggestion of what type of software I should look into, and different types of things to do.

    I am probably going to look into Movie/Video streaming, Music streaming, and Pictures. Just to learn the basics, which I can handle myself. But what I am asking is the more advanced stuff, I know you can't do too much on windows but I'm sure there is something worth learning. I would love to do the Linux thing but my family isn't tech savy so they wouldn't know how to work Linux at all. So keep the suggestions to Windows please.

  2. So today I was at a track meet and was quite bored because my portion of the meet was over. So i thought of bringing an xbox 360 along. But as we all know that wouldn't work without the neccesary supplies which was not available. So I thought of making it portable.

    Here is my idea:

    -Get a large brief case and secure the Xbox 360 inside

    -Drill ventilation holes so it doesnt over heat

    -Then mount a small LCD monitor inside and connect the xbox to it

    but my only problem is power supply

    Does anyone know what i could use to power it besides a generator or a small battery?

  3. Well I have found an easier solution. Just apply for a job at one of these places and learn how they do it. Or just find a training course online. Because most of these cards are re-usable so if we can find out how to edit them, then we have found the answer.

  4. well it's not that they don't know it. It's just really hard to hack anything, because the ports are so limited. But I have heard of people adjusting their shift points(in an automatic) and things like that to save fuel. But I am not sure if it can be done with your '96, I doubt it. But it is kind of pointless because one wrong move and you have a verryyy expensive paper weight unless you tow it to a specialist, or just know how to back up the data and flash i t back on.

  5. I really like it, it works really good and the software is great too.

    i was so happy when i got it for Christmas cause my notebook doesn't have a lot of space, so it was a godsend.

    I recommend it

    Yeah I've been looking around for some 2.5" portable HDD. My parents said theyll get it for my birthday. So I think I might go with it.

    FreeAgentâ„¢ | Go - Titanium Silver 320G http://tinyurl.com/3julam <---- got for christmas

    ITV-900 PC to TV Converter http://tinyurl.com/dys5jz <--got a couple days ago

    How do you like the Free Agent, thinking of getting one.

  7. i use mobiscope its fully customizable, lets you set the motion sensitivity, you can set it to take snapshots at selected intervals upon motion detection, you can have it send you and sms or email to your phone and even login remotely from your web enabled phone, device, or another computer and see what ever the webcam sees, or view the recorded video or snapshots, it will also support pan, tilt, and zoom functions. i use it on my laptops integrated webcams when im not home. just turn the screen off and leave it run and noone will ever know what its doing. very covert.

    is it free?

    and i don't use linux so i can't use zoneminder.

  8. Okay so I have a webcam set up in my room for hakstalkers.com. But during the day when I am not there I would like to make this into a "security cam" for my room, no real need, just something to mess with.

    So what I am asking is for a program that will detect motion on my room. But then alert me or at least save the video to my computer.

    Please keep in mind I need free, as I do not want to spend money on this.
