    Bidenomics

    This inflation, is an insidious monster that sneaks up until something pops. That pop was when the Wife suggested we order pizza. We have not had that for a great spell. Soon she came back and said "BS! $52 for 2 pizzas"! Time to fire up the pizza stone, no ordering out.

    I can still say that, if I put enough Sun-in with Lemon, into my whitening hair. Here goes; Since our electric provider is warning of black-outs, does this mean that people with electric cars, will have to un-plug them? :smash:

    Sagittarius A*

    What does 3.5 million gigabytes of data look like? This is the black hole (a racist term according to the Dallas City Council) a the center of the Milky Way (candy bar?). I'll bet that is a whole bunch of hard drives!

    Think!

    It was appropriate back in the '65 and it brought tears to our eyes then.We changed the world back then too. Redone in 74' and 99' it was still true.! It was true in this 2008. Now here we are almost 60 years later. Just a simple song of the ages. Have you ever heard of Gog and Magog?

    Config Tool Problem

    I have Config Tool V 5. I have used it in the past to connect via the "little blue IE" icon to NVR and all cams. I now can't connect to only the NVR, IE says can't reach that page. I can ping it w/ CMD, log-in with Pale Moon as well as Firefox but not w/ IE. It seems it began after an...

    Thank You

    I bought a 24 port POE. A killer for sure and here the next day. It was a "garage Sale " item etc. I laughed when I opened the outer box as the rip in the top came from a fork lift. I laughed and giggled as there was only some small crease in the top lid WHO CARES! WORKS PERFECT! Now why the...

    Swann NVR 8580 and Integrating Dahua Cameras and NVR

    Out of necessity, I run a mixed system of 2 NVRs a Swann 16-8580 and one of Andy's NVR 5216-16P. 1 in living room and 1 elsewhere. One may use Andy's cams on the Swann and vice versa. The ZOOM function may be controlled by BOTH NVRs. Be careful with bandwidth as the Swann NVR will fall apart...
