    RedWulf got a reaction from paullinkmann in Surveillance system   
    I would assume freenas would work fine, but I'd wait for someone with more experience than I to answer that. I know if you just want to save the video to the server, then its freenas will work, I don't know if the others offer any advantage here though. 
    If you're wanting to use this rig to view and manage the camera you could use Ubuntu or a typical desktop/work station OS. NAS OSs are good, but you can build Ubuntu to have smba, ftp, and the other functions.

    1) not at all, its just recommended 
    2) No, thats only for redundancy (back ups) and I would use purple or another server grade drive
    3)thats a matter of your budget and needs(quality, wireless, motor, ftp, poe, etc)

    RedWulf got a reaction from Matias_Chambers in What programming language to start with?   
    I suggest python 3(3.5). About as simple as they come, very flexible, and great to learn concepts and make scripts without as much syntax and labor as java.

    I know java has a way, look up the iron-puzzle.png and go from there, python does as well with the PIL module

    Don't run from a problem, fix it or it will eventually bite you, run a few virus scans and some system checks. If those fail to help, reinstall. If that fails theres likely a hardware issue. 
     
     
    Also, this question will start wars, far worse than apple or android and amd or nvidia

    If you mean just like a vbscript then have a look at these

    and just do this before it

    personally I would have a function or some variable to set the name so that it doesn't have an error or overwrite previous shots
     
    I can test them, but that should give you a starting point.

    Theres a shit ton of post about this already, and as always its a bad idea to clone it, your better off to do a new install then hook up the hdd and copy data over. I preach minitools partition wizard tho, I'm a fan boy

    RedWulf got a reaction from Tristanus in Font problem.   
    Actually if you've done anything since then don't restore it yet.
    It is possible you overwrote the font as suggested, open up the segoe UI in the fonts folder it should look like the image if it doesn't then download the actual segoe and re-replace it. If however it does match and resetting the font settings failed then I would try a system restore. 
    You should also do a virus scan

    Not sure what you installed from, a normal font install shouldn't change anything. I'd be more careful with future fonts, they come as packs with just the font that can be read, no .exe.
    As you said its probably windows, just change your default font, theres a bunch of how-to guides
    http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Default-Font-on-Windows-7
    or go to 
    Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Fonts\Font settings
    You may also need to change them in the browsers.

    I think I may have miss read the OP, whats the issue? Was long as the word input isn't taken as "int" it works for me. 
    Int stands for integer which is numerical, the words offered are just that, words and are read as strings. 
    the int input only works with whole numbers, by definition of an integer, so if you use 2.04 or 3.15 or 13/4 it won't work. Try the float input type instead.

    hmm, odd
    It seems as if it is treating the input as a variable, the one thing I can think of is using raw_input instead of input. But that shouldn't be an issue if the other operators work.
    I'm not sure why it only raises the error in divide so these suggestions are kinda hacky fixes.
     I would think maybe an install or version issue but again, the others working rule that out. 
    @fizzlesticks has more of a handle on python than I do

    Just a PS if it happens again
    the input() type tries to interpret the input as python, so in python 2 use raw_input() 
    python3, where I dwell, doesn't have the same issue

    It really depends on the employer/company, it could be anything from simply approving and revising plans/hires/purchases/etc to hands on work with the team or IT department. 
    Often it would be like any other management position, just in the IT department or group. 
    You would oversee those under you, lay out schedules or plans and goals, advise or assist when needed, represent the department at company meetings or whatever, work on the higher or more delicate task, and most likely function as a network admin with in the group.

    OBS is very demanding. Try fraps.  Else Camtasia or camstudio. All pcs can run camstudio but not sure if its a viable option for games.
