Then click on each of the little icons across the bottom. Leave the "Hardware Acceleration" alone unless you have problems with stuttering playback. <br /><br />I think you will find all of them are ticked by default, so who knows what's going on without your knowledge?microdavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-24466384390560954572010-02-04T23:32:58.779+00:002010-02-04T23:32:58.779+00:00Could we be convinced to allow cameras into our ho...Could we be convinced to allow cameras into our homes? Already done.<br /><br />Every laptop now seems to come with a camera installed, above the screen, facing the user. For videoconferencing apparently.<br /><br />Even a little Acer mini-laptop has one. I don't videoconference and I don't want a photo of me so I put tape over it. It's not as if it can even be turned around and used to photograph anything else. It's useless other than to the few who videoconference. <br /><br />TV sets with cameras for interactive games... already here.<br /><br />Getting a camera into your home and hooking it up to the internet is a doddle. It's already been widely achieved. Next tinfoil hat conspiracy - they might start providing free laptops and broadband to people who can't afford to buy their own home surveillance. With cameras built in.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-655579939015435732010-02-04T23:12:22.998+00:002010-02-04T23:12:22.998+00:00I agree with Sir H., monkey wrenching will be rela...I agree with Sir H., monkey wrenching will be relatively easy, as will decoys.

I've seen demos of this technology (from another source) that highlights individuals behaving in an unusual manner and also spots objects being left or abandoned (e.g. bags etc).<br /><br />It's all very simple to implement now - after all the CCTV is already there, all you do is run the TV signal through the analyser and it's done.JohnRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021101596935644363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-67163015399644000652010-02-04T21:47:01.318+00:002010-02-04T21:47:01.318+00:00Why am I suddenly thinking of the final scene in t...Why am I suddenly thinking of the final scene in that remake of 'Invasion of the Bodysnatchers' (the Donald Sutherland one)?JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.com
