I agree with foniksonik. With 13 years of development, there must be a huge 'distributed repository' of most if not all of the site's most valuable contents. Perhaps avsim.com could be resurrected as a wiki so that the community can all contribute to reconstruction.... and then the admins can implement a proper, disconnected, backup approach.
How about inviting the local engineers from the various companies to demonstrate what they can do? You'll get a hands-on experience with each option and with the rep right in front of you, you'll be able to determine if their product is well suited for your application.
I know that the guys/gals at NI (www.ni.com) would be more than happy to give you a one-on-one demo of logic analyzers and high-speed digitizers (o-scopes). I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Happy hunting!
Hello,
You might want to check out the NI "ELVIS". It's not cheap, but would provide an awesome platform to experiment with and learn about electronics. It is complete with built-in instrumentation and even integrates nicely with circuit simulation (Multisim) software.

Apparently not "extensively" enough. "Simple things like libraries for list manipulation, queues, string processing" have been around in LabVIEW for many years. And yes, you can also spawn an arbitrary number of threads through dynamic calls to functions. Please don't make ridiculous assertions unless they're somewhat founded in truth. Thank you.
Take a look at LabVIEW, a compiled graphical programming language from National Instruments. It natively supports SMP / multicore / multithreading. Essentially, dissociated pieces of code you write (computations, hardware I/O, etc.) are automatically scheduled in separate threads of execution in order to maximize efficiency. It's an interesting idea: here's a technical article from their website that does a better job of describing it (some marketing included as well):

If you're searching for a company that does customer support RIGHT, look into National Instruments. They realize that encouraging customer success is paramount to a successful business.
by the reproduction or distribution, including by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more copyrighted works, which have a total retail value of more than $1,000,
So in other words, if within a 6 month period one were to download a total of $1000 worth of music - they would be in violation of the NET. I have a feeling that this applies to most p2p users.
While this is true for cross-platform applications which operate identically in each environment, those that assume the look and feel of the target system can greatly reduce the problem. I highly recommend wxWindows as a candidate API for your project as it automatically will make adjustments for you. The documentation is also quite good and there is a solid community of developers from which to learn. (I used it this last semester on an assignment - it's awesome.)
If you absolutely need your widgets to be a part of the 3D environment... you're going to have to keep looking.

For another cool demo of the Audeo and how it was developed, you can watch a 5-minute video here:

It's under "Tuesday" -- the last topic titled "Algorithm Engineering, Michael Callahan, Thomas Coleman"
Enjoy!
