I think $4300 would be easily acheived using Phat's ideas But still, paying taxes on a prize? Is that some local texas law or something? Does anyone have a tape of the show that they can post here? I want to see it. (It reruns some day soon, I think).
oh yea for those of you who dont know, I got it recorded off my AIW...sadly its the whole episode and i dont have an editor to change it around...ill see what i can do today... id email to some people but for some reason Outlook hates me...so yea. i gotta yahoo account so if anyone has any ideas please lemmie know so oi can share it with the public... maybe if anyone has a hoster and AIM i could do a send file ?
ask HK, Adam or Quack if their upload sites will accept a video so that you can upload it and let someone edit the video. Then it can be up to Zap wether or not he hosts it on his space?
i mean itst he WHOLE episode commercials and all... 303mb...thatsa why Outlook is having a problem with it
It's not outlook that's the problem it the POP3 server, they wern't made to carry that much data. Monolith might be able to help with the editing bit, I remember his 'starwars-boy' thing... so im guessing he has the right software to edit it and a heck of a a lot of bandwidth aswell! (if he'll host it?)
What format is it in, hyjnx? Is it an Ati format like *.vcr or a general format (divx avi or mpeg)? If it's an avi, you could send it to me on MSN and I could edit it. (If it's an ati format, you could send it to me on MSN and I could watch it )
I'm just quoting CrimsonSky over at [H]. I don't see any reason for him to lie about the figure (and seeing as he was at techtv prior to the contest), so I for one believe him. Personally I voted for Zap, and have the utmost respect for him, but his forum pimping and dissing the other contestants (atm remarks etc) were a bit naive in my opinion.
acctually it recorded in WMV...which is kinda nice. So yea i dunno how to get it out mookie IM'd me but had to dip for school so ill see bout getin it to someone... its on again at noon, but unfortunately ill be at a drug test so...i wont be able to recopy it...but we will see...
monolith made that starwarskid movie? (edit: weee! 750 posts.. ok 751... gotta look for a new custom title )
theres a website that has all these veriations of the starwars kid...and im guessing he made his own veriation... i dunno..i just gotta get this thing shipped out...
That is great that he won the contest. He won a nice little prize. BTW the show was on today. The mod prize is about 20 minutes into the show. I was watching lastnight and just missed the mod contest but saw it today
That tax figure sounds about right. Im not sure how it works across the pond, but anytime a major prize is received, be it money or material goods, it is taxed for its worth. Uncle Sam gets his share, always. Congrats on the win Zap.
Thanks everyone. I have been basicly traveling since the show aired until just now. As far as selling the Laser, I won't be, as my parents own a retail scrapbook store (Rubber stamps, paper, etc) I will be housing it at their store, and make profit both from internet and local retail. I have no idea on pricing (I will figure that out, with perks for loyal bit-tech users) their website is: www.memorydepotonline.com Projects in line: -Faceplate and laser cut window for wife's PC -Build a mATX PC to just keep attached to the laser to run it independent of a normal PC -FINISH THE MEDIA PC! They tell the amount I won by here: http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/supergeek/story/0,24330,3536290,00.html
Yay its the celebrity!!!...congrats man...like i said i got the whole show on my computer...i jsut gotta figure out how to get it to someone so they can chop it and host it.... looks like Yoshi was kinda jealious of ur case there too! Dude it looked amazing...but why was the trailer running like double speed? that was kinda weird... /bows I loved it man...good to know ur hard work paid off
I do have the video on my DVR so I will be getting clips up sometime soon. The software for the DIVX playes them a little too fast. I didn't write it, (It's in the noritake technical thread)
54%!!!! haha nice!...not many people voted only 7.2k thats not at all that much...but sweet job man! you got 3903 votes!...ur case 0wn3d!
