Yes, I thought somebody had retrofitted a LJ 2100 or something to do the same thing many years ago.
The print head was 8.5 inches wide and the nozzles were in bands oriented diagonally. The printer shot out paper just as fast as the rollers could feed it. They had the head connected to external ink tanks, IIRC.
In larger IT environments, your approach to "dozens of machines on a single switch" won't work or even come close to working.
With a single switch, you're introducing a single point of failure. With a single massive machine with tons of disk, you're introducing another point of failure.
Fiber Channel solves many of the problems you've touched upon. Unfortunately, the equipment involved isn't cheap. At my workplace, our latest SAN instance ran us about a million dollars. FC HBAs? About $2K apiece. Add in dual-homing (another HBA), multiple Qlogic or Brocade switches, SFPs, fiber patches, fiber runs to our offsite SAN racks a mile away, and it gets expensive in a hurry.
But that's the price for sleeping well at night. I'm just glad it's not my money we're spending.:)
I'm sure somewhere, for some reason, Bill Gates is also being fined that much a day for something. He probably just laughs about it with his CEO friends and makes jokes about the reigning authority issuing the fines. I know I would. Then again, I'd also build a laser on the moon, and fire it at that country. You have to set an example, you know?
I have a FatMax disto as well, and a Leica. I love distos. I see what you're saying.
If it was possible to integrate this software with Xactimate, Integriclaim, or Powerclaim, I'd be all over it. Unfortunately, if I'm just measuring a building floorplan, this doesn't stand to do me much good. I can measure, diagram, scope and photograph every room in a 2500sf dwelling in 30 minutes.
That being said, I want frisbees with these squares on them. Then I can toss the frisbee on an inaccessible roof, snap a photo, and I'll have my measurements! Adjuster laziness to the extreme.
So they brought 60 people into a room, told them to use their bank account, and then got surprised when they actually did?
I am going to bring 60 people into a room, present food to them and tell them to try it, and then publish a study about how they failed to notice the lack of a Health Department certificate in my building. Then I'm going to write into Slashdot about it.
In my mind, there is a better way to conduct a study about banking security than to bring in 60 people and instruct them that the entire purpose of their visit is to log in to their bank account when they sit down. But I, for one, welcome our SiteKey overlords.
Your idea organizationally makes sense, and it's quite similar to the approach that some US governmental agencies are using for their DNS zones. I think it would be best to follow an organizational scheme similar to time/date stamps. Whether that means forward or reverse ordering, I don't know. Group by the common denominators and move from there.
Teh intarnets is quickly becoming less and less organized and I even considered "Why have domain names at all now?"
Pretty much everything I visit is a bookmark, and I Google everything else. When I tell my friends about a site, I make them Google it too, or I shoot them a direct URL. Nobody ever mentions domain names directly to me now. Everything is either URL or Google.
Very interesting.......but stupid!
You must have some horrible traffic there!
I drive 21 miles just to get to work every day, so 22 miles to pick up a PS3 doesn't sound unreasonable to me.
I foresaw the overstock problem.....I'm waiting for the pricing to dip here so I can pick up some good F@H boxen.:)

You're right, it's not. The 20s were a more vicious time!

I have to swat 4 or 5 between my front door and my truck every day. I must be hoarding them all or something.

No kidding. Google's CEO farts $100 bills.

please see every measurement in the photo
Maybe you should have read the link....in the photo, there are measurements for plenty of things that the picture taker is not perpendicular to.

I guess I should publish a short opinion piece, load the CMS up with AdSense ads, and get myself posted on Slashdot.
This article was distinctly lacking in substance, similar in nature to a pop record. Surely the news isn't that slow today?
