  • How to sniff streaming FLV actual URL address?

    I like to watch streaming media and listening to streaming radio. I want to consolidate my list of stations into a player that supports flash files, such as VLC. I can use Orbit Downloader Grab ++ to download the actual .flv files, but I do not want to save the stream, just find out the referrer URL to view on VLC, any ideas?

  • Turtles for adoption?

    A neighbor who lost their home to foreclosure gave me her two terrapin turtles, they are the small kind that can live in fish tanks. Unfortunately, the only fish tank i have is full of goldfish, and the terrapins started eating my fish! Any ideas where I can take these turtles so they can be adopted by someone? I took the turtles in as a favor, but I don't want them to eat my fish, and I don't want to invest in another fish tank just for them.

  • Can an 8mm camcorder use blank Hi8 tapes to record?

    I have a canon ES50, made around 2000 in the original 8mm tape or "square 8" format, its a great little camcorder that i have just dug up from my closet and want to start using again. While searching at the stores for new blank tapes, i have discovered that 'Hi8" tapes are more readily available than regular "8" tapes, physically and mechanically,the tapes are the same; and they are both analog recoding formats, not to be confused with "Digital 8". I know that a tape recorded on Hi8 will not play back on a regular 8 camcorder, because of the difference in analog format, but can a blank Hi8 tape be used in a regular 8 camcorder to record in the regular 8 camcorder format?

  • 2wire 2701HG-B Gateway has unknown network devices?

    i have replaced a 2wire 1000HW gateway with a 2wire 2701HG-B Gateway router/dsl modem. in my network list i am able to see all the computers in my home network with their correct connection type. For some reason , i am getting two IP addresses being assigned to devices for which the connection type is unknown, deciphering the MAC addresses reveals nothing . this is the devices in question and listed as active.

    View Device Details

    192.168.1.64

    Connection Type: Unknown

    IP Address: 192.168.1.64

    IP Address Allocation: DHCP

    IP Address Type: Private (NAT)

    Hardware Address: e1:6c:d6:ae:52:90

    192.168.1.65

    Connection Type: Unknown

    IP Address: 192.168.1.65

    IP Address Allocation: DHCP

    IP Address Type: Private (NAT)

    Hardware Address: e9:eb:b3:a6:db:3c

    If i reset the network list, the "phantom" devices will disappear, but will later return, maybe under different ip addresses but with the same "Unknown" connection type. Pinging the IP addresses in question returns "destination host unreachable". With my previous 1000HW i never had these "phantom" devices. Is this a feature of these more recent 2701 design?

  • BK burger shots, White Castle wannabe failure?

    i just tried the new burger shots, an obvious ploy to copy the white castle slider. i found them horrible, the bread is cold, and the meat patty is just the generic Bk broiled taste, and where is the onions?, for the money, the whopper junior is better. BK forgot that what gives the white castle slider its taste is the sautéed onions and the steamed roll. your thoughts?

    I'm 32, there is no history of male pattern baldness in my family, my brother who is 2 years older than me and my father, who is 60, both have a full head of hair. I noticed that most of last year i had horrible dandruff, i could not put my fingers trough my hair without dandruff specs coming off. i tried some shampoos but nothing seemed to help the dandruff, suddenly the dandruff went away but then my hair started falling out, specially above my forehead and on the back of my head, could there be a connection between the dandruff and the hair loss? anyone had this happen to them? any treatments? will rogaine help?
