I was going to ask how long you were staring into an asshole while tracing that cut, but the thumbs are up... someone else is doing it?Quote:

Mine did that a couple of months ago. Impressed, I was.Quote:

Could you maybe take a pic with your phone and upload it ftw? :unsure:
The fuck is all that? If I wanted faster internet, I have to go out and buy it. I don't just sit around and notice one day my bandwidth increased.
Myself and Boatse live in coal-mining/semi-rural parts of the UK and we simply cannot purchase faster internets.
We have to wait for people to upgrade our telephone exchanges before magical speeds can occur.
speak for yourself, welshist, I could get 100mb internets here if it wasn't so expensive:snooty:Quote:

Lens shift is always better since it just sets the lens and then works passively rather than having to devote processing power to converting the image. Keystone may also distort the edges of the image noticeably depending on how good it is implemented, and how extreme the angles are. With both in combination you do get a lot of leeway on how to place the projector, though.
In my case I watch a lot of stuff through my computer as well, still through hdmi, and could in theory have the graphics card do the keystoning. Haven't tried it, however.
Lumen is a measurement of light. More lumens are brighter.
edit: Technically, I think you can also call what I call lens shift Optical keystone correction, and what I call Keystone Digital keystone correction. Idrk what's more correct. http://htrgroup.com/main.php?section=keystone
So basically like digital zoom and regular zoom on a camera. Except different.Quote:

Cheers :happy:
In a way.
orly. I've recently gone from 4mb to 10mb cus of an exchange upgrade, and it rawks.Quote:

I get 2.4MB/s download speed now, like, it used to be 1.1MB/s
edit: even tho' speedtest.net says i'm on 13mb internets, and not 20.
You got some download limits there with Virgin though?
If you're wondering how much work it is, I can tell you that the lens shift/optical keystone correction was very easy to grasp. Just a slider, pretty much. Same goes for zoom and focus. Setting up the (digital) keystone took slightly more effort. But we're not even talking minutes here. Tweaked stuff a fair bit to get everything just right, however.
I spent considerably more time mounting the projector on the wall and putting the screen up.
It may have changed since the upgrade but it was something like download more than 1.3 gig between 6pm and midnight and they MIGHT slow your interweb down for a few hours.
I was thinking that the digital keystone sounded hard as soon as you said about the graphics card. I don't tend to tinker with that kind of thing, but I reckon I'd be oka with the lens stuff.Quote:

Saying that, I'm not going to be doing anything for a while. I mentioned it last night and the missus reckons there's nothing wrong with the 6 month old tellybox we have and that we could go on holiday abroad for a week with what it would cost.
Which is technically true but spending a week being a responsible parent and getting sunburned < watching a big telly on the wall forevar
Doesn't sound too bad. I've never noticed any limitations and I do tend to steal a lot.Quote:

ewe think that's bad? the wench thought 37" was too big for a tellybox in the front room :no:Quote:

still, at least she'd prefer me to spend my money on tellyboxes and projectors than taking her abroad, cause she fucking hates forrins. :smilie4:
mine always (well, up until the upgrade, haven't had chance to test it out properly yet) runs at fulll speed, 24/7.Quote:

Women, mang.
Always sticking their big tits in your face and pwning your train of logic :no:
Big tits in your face > logic, tho'. You know it makes sense.
I just don't know how you two got together. You seem to have nothing in common :schnauz:Quote:

at least until she cuffs you around the head :naughty:
The point I was making is that I could wait for Dave to get it, and will never see an upturn in my bandwidth. When our ISPs upgrade their equipment, they role out a new plan and charge more for it. My ISP has like 7 layers of internet plans.Quote:

But then I decided I'd role with it and see what happened.
I only do it like once a month, and it has to be ironic, too, or I just don't feel like it's worth it.
I'm also happy enough if no-one realises.
Looking back, those smilies barbie put in are so gauche.
Think about how long it would take Dave to "get it", get it? Also, if it's a pattern thanks for alerting me. That just makes role/roll a new pair I have to hunt down since I do it with you're/your (which I type out incorrectly about 50 % of the time).Quote:
