    Copywrite a DVD movie?

    How much do you charge for making the movie? How much is each copy? I would not pay more then $2.00 a copy. If I paid for you to make a movie why would I pay you to make a bunch of copies? The only thing that you might have on the making of copies would be the speed compared to me and I...

    120 ft ethernet connection?

    As a rule of thumb when I’m at work (plant) we do run of 90’ between the IT cans. This gives a few feet to make all the connections. At each it can there is a switch or a hub to repeat the signals. For the better cable can go to 150’ max. The say 100’ without a repeater of some kind. I...

    Windows XP SP3

    From what I have read all SP3 is an all the security updates up to the point of it was released. Some of the optional updates were added but not all of them. If you have kept up with the updates then SP3 will not do much improvement for your computer. IMO it was mostly done for the speed of...
