Has anyone noticed the Apple Store is no longer listing the PowerPC based Power Mac Quad G5? Last week, it was there, hidden low on the left hand column, now it's gone. Sounds like big news that Apple has now officially dumped all PowerPC based desktops from the store (except the refurbs)
I tried the barcode app, and I cannot get it to work.
I am scanning on an AGFA duoscan in RGB and then saving the file as GIF and JPG. To scan, I am importing it into Photoshop 7. Tried greyscale, sharpening, contrast, discarding color info, etc.
I have cleaned the ID with Windex, cropped it so only the barcode is there, it is rightside up.
The files range in size from 1.5Mb to 2Mb, it is an Iowa drivers license and I am doing this at a printing facility, so I know if it is possible, I have the resources here to do it.
I wouldn't post this if I didn't just waste 3 hours trying to get it to work. This isn't a RTFM post, I am a UNIX/Mac admin working at a print facility. Being Java, I'd think it would run on OS X or WIndows the same, right?
I'm beginning to think it was printed bad, I do notice the dots have curved edges. I'll even send a partial sample to someone if they want proof!
First of all, kudos to KZIA on plugging away on HD.
To all you nay-sayers ripping on Clear Channel, you might want to note that KZIA is one of the few stations in Eastern Iowa that is independantly owned. Rob Norton and Elliot Keller are owners and used to own KRNA-FM who was the first FM radio station to use the Harris digital exciter on air.
The original post also failed to mention that nfranzen is (or recently was) an employee of KZIA
Personally, I don't listen to them much, but in this market it's nice to have a locally owned station that is cutting edge. I find myself listening to the local NPR affiliate 90% of the time, but even then I can't stand the 9am-1pm classical hours...
Also, KZIA was one of the first local stations around here to simulcast on the internet, but along with everyone else dropped it when the bastards wanted duplicate royalties for commercial voiceovers.
I'd love to hear some HD AM. Can you imagine listening to a station with a 1000 mile range that sounded as good as FM? Who needs satellite radio?

So far the longest song I found was
DJ Shadow - Influx 12:14
I spent $1.19 on Pepsi which I don't drink just
to "stick it to the man" in my own small, small way.
I figure I'd get the most byte for my buck....
