wait, you just told me why NOT TO buy it, and then go on like you were telling me why TO buy it??
just get a sun e450 and hire a unix guru to maintain it for you. you aren't qualified, and will look pretty stupid the first time it goes down.

this doesn't sound like it makes models... just takes a 2D image and makes it 3d WITHOUT multiple cameras... to get the backs of objects or to make true models you would need multiple cameras.
yes, but in that example the car dealer buys the car and then sells to a consumer... the sale to the consumer is where the law is applied.
in these OEM cases, the computer dealer bought the software, then sold a computer.... they didn't sell or charge a set price for the OS, they just added it into their computer price.
this isn't cut and dry and because i'm not from iowa, and i would probably be hurt by this law if I was, i don't care much about this case.
i don't have links but i thought someone else set up networking based on the flickering of neon bulbs... maybe a fusion light bulb network would run faster than the 802.11 it is destroying? and at 1/2 mile link a pop they might be cost effective... a few bulbs in every building!
and make them use it for all company documents, then back up the network drive regularly to tape.
network drive does not have to be a huge 100 TB datahouse, it could be as simple as a shared drive on a dedicated win 2000 box. 2 100GB HDDS... one backs up to the other daily, and once a week you copy the second to tape and store it.

"Olympus C-3020 Zoom camera"
well, the website says it supports the C-3040, not the C-3020... of course it isn't going to work.
network connectivity problems can almost conclusively be blamed on the network setup and not the device in general. probably duped IPs or a router issue.
blue screen of death on the images can probably be blamed to a.gif image or some other proprietary image format that of course would work on the PC and not on the mine. or maybe a.gif image with a.jpg extension. i have seen this all before.
i have never used the device, but i don't think the review is very fair, those were his 3 strikes why he wouldn't recommend it, and as far as i'm concerned they were right on the corner of the plate.
i built and run edrugtrader.com (now moving to better colo facility so don't try to hit it, its down)
i built the game from day 1 with "how could someone use this to cheat" in mind. if MMORPG developers don't have that mindset their game WILL fail. redundant and flamebait, mod as you wish.

lets see... the same people that can't figure out why their password doesn't work in all caps, and who can't figure out how to change their IE home page (tools - internet options) are going to figure out how to do this process that is 1 more step???
knowing to look in tools - options for something like this is NOT obvious to the majority of users. and as the study (proved) most users don't even know they are sharing! and these clients are designed to close into the system tray and keep running when the normal user thinks they have closed it (and stopped it from running).
just because you CAN turn it off doesn't mean they will figure it out or even try... that was my original comment.
why do you think napster grew? people didn't know they were automatically sharing their files, and even if they did, they didn't want to turn it off or figure out how to stop people from getting their files because they wanted to use it to get other peoples files.
if during install there was an option "DO YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR FILES" 90% would say no... then no network.
P2P RELIES on ignorance of its user base, and the good will of a small fraction of its tech savvy users.
ok, everyone's comments are basically: "this company does it too and i love the manuals... i read them all."
so to answer the question: No, this is not too much work, the users enjoy the product and use it. therefore you'll get less tech support calls, and users who will become brand loyal just to get the next manual.

exactlly... i always understood the problem, the solution, and all methods used to get the solution. college WAS busy work.
using the TI-92+ on exams to spit out a 'pretty print' answer, and write it down got me out of exams and to the pubs much faster.
