Show Notes:

This long episode is part 2 of our 2 part series on modding. We start off interviewing our very own Captain Slug. The Captain talks about his genius case modding, nerf guns (seriously), 25ft wide HD projection, computing from bed, and his UN-modded (!) Antec P180. Jordan Drake brings us the latest tech news, and we finish with a fantastic news roundtable; Scott Wasson from The Tech Report and Hazaro from OCF talk about the latest nVidia 8800 GT cards.

And we’re done!

Good ep, Scott knows his stuff

Godfather1138 · 11-26-07, 03:20 PM

Is anyone else getting choppy broken audio?

Ben333 · 11-26-07, 04:19 PM

Was clear on my end.

How were you listening to it? I think if its starts playing in your browser, and your internet is slow.... you'll probably get a choppy playback (as it tries to buffer).

Clear on mine as well though.

Godfather1138 · 11-26-07, 05:13 PM

I tried streaming the mp3, and also downloading it. Both ways had the same choppy pattern, but it is the only thing (including videos) that I have had this problem with. My wireless network is not the strongest but it is reliable (G over 2 floors in a townhouse with several other routers to interfere). Just wondering if I'm the only one having problems with it. BTW, this is the first one I have had this problem with.

Hazaro · 11-26-07, 06:47 PM

Was clear for me as well.

Godfather1138 · 11-26-07, 10:34 PM

Dang, now I'm just feeling left out :/

jdrake90 · 11-27-07, 12:37 AM

Thats a curious issue... Have you tried using mp4?

Jordan

Godfather1138 · 11-27-07, 03:33 AM

Yes... I'll figure it out eventually. Can't miss an episode, just wouldn't be right.
