Impressive, but not very portable.

And the 'brain'

Or the dick.

How complicated, mine are just USB cams, plug straight into the PC and it records.

Uh ok. I'm a human not a geek, you've just posted greek. I use a GUI.

Isn't forever more like 30 seconds? No big deal.

Why?

That last sentence doesn't make sense. I can';t give you ten dollars unless you already have another ten dollars?

The US is pathetic, it's scared of Russia.

Not nonsense, well known problem. Same program running on Intels and AMDs, the AMDs get sluggish. See LHC@Home for an example.

I would think so, it's quite versatile.

The main problem is if it's on it breaks the VT-x.

Surely reading glasses are not the same as magnifying glasses?

It's more the movement of the hands rather than the eyesight that's the limitation I find.

Not with our 5 mile long iron ore driverless trains.

Longest and heaviest in the entire world.

Still no big deal, but a bit of a nuisance.

More rabid rightists than most.

Well, these are Sony 'starlight' SUPERHAD 0.01 lux PAL/NTSC cameras, need no IR LEDs, can see in the near dark, I use those for many things (shooting down F35s comes to mind).

USB cams over twenty meters or more cable?

I have 9 virtual desktops, 1 has some icons you can click on, one has a browser, one has a Usenet newsreader, one has an audio mixer, and 8 actually have a terminal. GUI is for dummies, like going to a supermarket and searching on the shelves for what you need from what is plonked down there. My computah speaks English and I can just type commands. Much simpler and faster than mousing around in menus (if what you want is there at all). Of course you need to know Unix... It is like going to a hardware store and asking 'I need this' and the guy will get it for you. But of course you need to know about what you want, Maybe in the US these days reading and writing is on the way out (if it ever was in there ;-) ) and people will carry a book with pictures and take it and point to one to commie-nukate or whatever it was . Its a SLOW way, but was already used in the [flint]stone age as drawings on rocks have shown.

Some people read comics (like poopeye), some read datasheets, some read code, and some just read what their computah says.

Same thing if positive.

Perhaps you are short sighted and took your glasses off.

(Wasn't there a disc jockey who got into "trouble" for saying, "I feel like a 16-year-old boy... but where can I get one at this time?" (That would be legal now. I hope Gordon Brown apologised.))

Same lens but my magnifiers have an LED. They are more convenient for some things than the old magnifiers on a gooseneck with a round fluorescent.

Been using this for a while now:

Selectable color temperature, dimmer.

And +2.5 and +1.75 reading glasses from the drugstore. If all else was to fail I can use a camera and monitor. peeseebee hole:

Yeah the low lux would be nice. I tried IR but couldn't find a bright enough IR light. Considering just a PIR powered white light.

But I'm guessing you paid a lot for a Sony camera.

I could do 100m if I wanted, what makes you think this is a problem?

Can't you afford real ones? I just have 5 monitors. I can see them all at once.

It's the way the human mind works, at least normal ones. If I showed you 50 pictures and asked you to find the widget, you could do it far faster than finding the word widget in a pile of 50 words.

It isn't English.

Menus make it easy to find things. For common stuff keyboard shortcuts are always available.

No need to learn that s*it.

If I want a 7mm widget, maybe they have a 7.2mm one which would be better. Maybe the guy is busy, maybe he doesn't know exactly what I need. Very easy to walk down the aisle that contains widgets and pick the one I need. The largest part of the human brain is devoted to sight.

You are abnormal.

No, I don't need any glasses. Why would I need to be short sighted to focus on something close? What's the closest you can focus? I can focus an inch from the end of my nose. Not that I needed to move that close, you must have really low resolution retinas.

It's not legal in the USA in half the states. Did it used to be illegal here?

Surely reading glasses don't just magnify, they change the focusing distance. Someone who needs reading glasses is usually long sighted, so it needs to look to their eye as though the book etc is several feet away. Not necessary with a magnifying glass.

Well, what's a lot? about 35 USD

Lots of loss in voltage over USB cables. google: 'USB maximum cable length'

No need for that,

I can tyoe 'widgetENTER' faster than you can find the icon, even without looking. On top of that I use zsh as shell, so usually if I did use a command before it is just cursor up a few times and ENTER, or the first character of the command, cursur up ENTER

You can make it as English (or any other language) you want by writing scripts for more complex stuff I have many of such scripts.

Bye

Ever fired a gun this small?

to 6:10 to see a lego man being killed.

That's not a lot. I didn't think Sony made them that cheap. But what resolution?

Obviously I don't power the camera from this end! The USB cable is for the data.

Yes here is, it means I can see everything at once. And by the way I only paid £50 for one and the other 4 were free.

You have to open the command prompt first or make it in focus.

And actually, I can just press the windows key, then enter widget (or even wid would do) then press ENTER.

To open VLC media player, I only have to press WINDOWS V L ENTER.

Why does linux have such weird names? Some of the disk programs I'm sure they deliberately made them almost the word f*ck.

So exactly like windows and DOS have always done. You had to get a special shell to have command history?

Writing programs to make a computer work ROTFPMSL!

Ooooh you got the last word in, how childish.

Small as I need to go... A friend had one and you can get more accuracy than you would think. More than one human man has been killed with a .22.
