Scary Foreigners in the News

Posted By Miguel Olivares
Right...

Do the names McVeigh and Nichols ring any bells? How about Columbine? Yup, it must be them danged ferners, too.

How about terrorism against other nations? Supporting military dictatorships all over the world, throughout the decades, should be classfied as terrorism.

Turning a blind eye to genocide in places like Liberia, while telling the Ameican public they are liberating the people of this other country is absurd, plain and simple.

What about the Iran-Contra affair, the mining of Nicaraguan ports, remember that? Violating the sovereignty of another country is justified, as long as it is "America" doing it.

If you want to discuss illegal immigration, and find an answer to the problem, fine. But don't be all self-righteous and try to blame everything on the rest of the world. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

Ethernet to USB converters

A simple adapter would not work. You need a NAS server.

If you have and old computer that you do not use, you can run a Linux based server:

Or something like this:

Cannot Find ToUcam what about this?

Posted By Miguel Olivares
If you are referring to the SPC900NC, yes, it will work for planetary imaging.

The 900NC uses the same Sony ICX098QB CCD sensor that the ToUcam 840K uses. I don't have direct experience with it, but I installed the firmware for the SPC900NC on my Toucam 740k.

Who else sees black dots cross the moon?

Posted By Miguel Olivares
I've seen these a few times. I made an animated gif from the 8 or so frames where the "dots" appear in the AVI.
