We have one (AllHandsActive.com - Ann Arbor, MI). Ours works slightly differently than what you said. The knob on the front limits it. The software limits it further. When running if we set ours to 15MW (on the knob) and set 50% power in software we get ~7.5MW read out on the gauge during the run.
The software (RetinaEngrave) is pretty terrible. It does make multiple passes and splitting colors (different power/passes) easy, but alignment of raster and vector images is a pain. It also only seems to consistently open.XPS files and not any other file type you might commonly have. This means we have to open in another piece of software, print to XPS and load in RetinaEngrave to get a file we know works the way we expect. Not a huge deal but kind of annoying when we already have a vector image.
The company I work with tightened their restrictions in the past year. Only company machines can now access the network remotely and webmail requires installation of software. The software required only works on certain versions of Windows with specific versions of IE. Some of those that installed it have had their machines rendered in-operable after. My solution was to stop working after hours and remotely checking email. If I am called after hours I state I can't connect remotely and that it will take me x minutes to reach the office. I'm 24/7 support, but it turns out a lot of things are no longer that important to the higher ups. To date I've only been questioned once as to why my after hours availability had dropped. My answer that my home machine is not allowed to connect to the network was sufficient. If you are not required to have remote access or use your personal machines, try just stopping. I understand that it is probably more convient to have that though.
Ubisoft stopped producing games after Myst 5: End of Ages. Popularity of the games really started dropping in later years.
Cyan Worlds (once just Cyan) the original creators of Myst are still around. They have been floundering though since URU. URU lost it's server support and Cyan lost funding. Cosmic Osmo was once of the last games I remember them working on for the PC. They released Myst iPhone shortly after the layoffs. They are still around in some form trying to bring back URU servers as open source shards.
I highly recommend picking up RealMyst if you like Myst. It is by far I think the best rendition of the game. I wish they would have Given Riven the same treatment.
I wanted to work there all through college. The year I was about to graduate they started to tank.
Yeah it definately got me to poke around his site more. It's nice to hear feedback on this. I applaud his efforts.
I tried out planetary defense from his site and it's really a good game. Haven't tried kudos doesn't look like my thing.
Format is a bit obscure, but it works rather ok. We were able to use the data to draw road maps and then find paths on them. I'm sure it has it's own problems too but maybe you could contact them and point out the errors.
When the first AMD x2 chips came out the linux kernel had issues with the clock on those chips. The clock would be several times (presumably 2 times?) faster then it should be, the cores clocks were not synchronized for some reason or the kernel would lose track... When you typed a letter it would repeat multiple times as you described.:)
e17 has files on the desktop and a start like button. E16 has a menu when you left click but no start button really (that I can remember). I don't think 16 had files on the desktop but I could be wrong. I've not seen anywhere that it's documented which version they are using I imagine it's 16 though. Any idea's? From what I saw they aren't even using a bare E install the theme really changes it's appearance and functionality.
people get pulled over for that all the time. Jersey stopping:) They get punished.
So should these people. From behind, nightly from behind bars. So I would be more then happy if these people got screwed. It's a fitting punishment.
It is open sourced for the most part. The copy protections are licensed from other companies so that part is closed. But you can build Cedega from their CVS repository. You get support from the company for the cost and prepackaged binaries. I however have built Cedega from source and it works just fine I did not notice any problems with running most of the games I was using.
Another OLPC distro is also available from the makers of the pepperpad. You can find it at pepper.com. They claim it may even be quicker then the perl based interface on the official OLPC desktop.
I know you are trolling a bit but try monoPrice.com for cheap hdmi cables. They work great too. I use to work at best buy and felt horrible selling people the hundred dollar 6 foot hdmi cables when I knew you could get them there for like 15 bucks.
fyi best buy the store doesn't get the money from webdeals that you buy online. If online offers something cheaper for some reason and it's below what the store has listed in cost (or the manager says no) order it online and pick it up. The store gets no money from that. I think thats where everyone thinking that online and brick and morter are the same.
Disclaimer: I was (past tense) a customer service employee at a best buy, I've heard it all and been bitched at by tons of customers. If you read all the paperwork they give you it's all spelled out. People don't read.
I use to work in customer service at one. If you have a price on a piece of paper thats lower then what we have in store (because in store and website deals differ) we have to go out to the website check the price, print it and have a manager sign off on it. That was the only way.
Employee's were never informed of a different website so it must be done transparently. When I worked there though honestly we never recieved any complaints about stuff like our website and the instore price being different. So I'm not sure why everyone is flipping. Yes sometimes when there is a ridiculous deal some we can't accept in store. It's noted on the website. We can't offer those if you come in.
I quit after a while because the amount of customers that screamed at me was not worth. It's not my fault if you can't read your reciept that clearly says if a cd is open we can only exchange it for the same cd not something else or store credit. My days were full of really rude customers when I was just trying to help. Not worth the 9 bucks an hour to work there.
haha no im just a recent grad who happened to go to a school (moravian.edu) which features a 98ish percent sun lab. Of which about 30 of the systems were sunrays. I was a big fan of the idea and we had entire classes pounding away on them. They do just fine for my home work. If you have people running cpu intensive applications all day I'm not so sure.. Most people in my house email and web browse and use open office. It works fine for that.
So no I'm not Larry ^^
from my experience I've had 10 users on my home system and it's a crappy dual core server with 2 gigs of ram. It runs ubuntu and everyone on the network was running enlightenment. You can browse, edit, compile all at once without a problem. Graphics intensive stuff such as anything 3d and they started to chug. Flash works well though.
Btw thats kinda expensive I know the cafe's by me you can get a gaming machine for 5 bucks an hour with all their games installed.
As for the smart cards I've not played around with them too much. I gave one to each family member. Basically I login with the smart card in open some stuff and when I would normally log out I just pull the card out. Now I go to any other sunray in the house and plug it in. You get everything you had open on the previous desktop back. The only exception is it doesn't seem to persist sessions through a server reboot.
no they don't connect to a terminal server. They use a propriatary protocol. You instead run sun's sunray server and then you get sound, usb devices, dual head support and access card use.
I login to the main box and terminal server to anywhere else I need to go.
I bought 2 of the sunrays brand new and the other 8 off ebay for like 20 bucks a pop. The brand new sunrays are the sunray 2's with dual head support. We originally used them where I went to school for my bachelors and I got into playing with them at the time. But they make it super easy to administer my entire house with them.
Check out sunrays. They are dirt cheap and they now have a windows version of the software. I use them at home they are really that easy to setup. We run a windows and a linux sunray server here. 2 Servers that I upgrade every 2 years and then we have about 10 terminals scattered throughout the house. I'm on one right now actually. It's a simple solution and fairly cheap to deploy.
Just don't touch peregrine's service center. It's horrible. It's slow, doens't work well and it's forever being fixed. We previously used an older version and we upgraded to the newer version with the mentality of "well it can't be that bad".. It still is horrible just not as horrible... It's not configurable and if you have processes to implement it has to be done by an outside company.
use a table with 3 columns.. the first with the first part of your email addres, the second with @ and the third with domain.com. simple searches on the pages make it hard to find and with a border of 0 the user won't notice the table.

Constant outages. Go DTE! :)
I second this. It is good tool and works well. The average user does not need to fiddle with DNS or firewalls to get it to work.

Good machine though. Works well otherwise.
If you are interested, please stop by sometime! Build night is held on Thursday evenings. Lots of neat projects going on!

Thanks. I read the article same way as poster. That paragraph made it sound like the internet was being provided when the link was active only by RDP.

they do this already it's called tiger and it's provided by the census bureau.

yes. My bad. Python based desktop.
