Usually 3 phase outlets are completly different looking plugs.
If that is the case.
It could be that the a phase is on one side, and b phase is on the other side of a panel.
I would go along with what other people have said. Power will get you without out you knowing. If you know what you are doing. Make sure the all the phases are good and tight. Especially the neutral. If you are using 3 pahse, you might read up on it a bit. That would make sense. (If you havent already).
IF you have an electrician come in, then you can blame them. Besty 100$ OR so you will spend.
If you think that you can do this on a couple of machines. Try different ones in different strips.
Use a differnt extension cord to the wall. See if there is still your problem. It oculd be a loose grounhd or neutral in the strips themselves.
Make sure that you follow the adivce in balancing the load. Not sure your production numbers. If you have 6 pcs, make sure that there is 2 in each phase. You get the idea.
The other piece of useful stuff that you might use is a digital ammeter. This will tell you how much power that you are drawing on each leg. You can make sure that you are balanced. I'm sure that there are some that are digital and soime that even have a little pager-like gadget that goes with you. Then its easy.
I work in the entertainment industry and I use phase all the time. The big movie lights are upwards or 12kw of light. Its very critical to balance the load. Especially for generators.
The easiest way is to get some big worklights that you can plug in and leave on to balance it out. Im sure that there are others.
Hmmm lessie..
As far as the ccd goes.. you may be right.. but the picture that you get is in a digital state. Otherwise it wouldnt be known as a digital camera now would it ? It is along the same lines as recording a CD.
When you record one guy and a guitar. You put an analogue microphone into the console or computer. It then gets reproduced, to the guy whos doing the recording.
Now, you might say that its preatty much ( in that case) analogue to digital to analog.
When it used to be in the old days straigh analog all the way across.
It sounds better to your ear (forgiving any distortion) because its more natural to listen to something that is more natural to your ear. The dog's barking is the same. Its all analog.
If yu rememebr that audio runs in sine-waves. So when you put a record on he turntable you are getting a direct audio sinewave of the recording
When you digitize audio you make the sinewave into 1's and 0's. Yu are effectivly chopping the wave at 16 bits. If you put that through a set of speakers... you ear is fooled into tthinking that its hearting it... But its not really. Your just making your speaker pop back and forth. (WE wont even get into mp3;s)
As far as digital vs film images go, you just cant get the same image.
FOr the same resaons as above.
I agree that analog does sound and look better.
I think the difference is that with analog you are getting a true representaion of the source. There is continuity between the source, and what the output is.
With digital.. there is lack of continutiy. Becuase your breaking it all up into one or a zero. Then trying to reproduce it. My scanner works better. I took a picture that was taken with a 35mm camrea. Scaned the picture and printed it out onto photo paper, using the standard printer ink.. I was amazed..
The printer is an hp 1275... amazing piece of work.
The inks arent outrageous either
Barring the repetive cost of the film.. I find that its much easier to whip out a standard 35mm camera and take a fast snapshot then a digital.
I dont think that you will eveer be able to replace that. They are two mediums. kinda like Cdsand records.. why cant there be both ? Why is it one or the other ?
Is that they are started on that slippery slope. The reason we all think that they are so cool is the lack of graphics.
I remember the other search engines going down this same route.. anyone remember alta-vista ?
Same thing. HotMail was ok until MS took it over.
This is bad. This is the beginning of the end. Someone once said that AOL would mark the downfall of the internet if they were allowed onto it.
Hmmmm sign of the times ?
You sound right.
I left the game last year. They kept making all the promises.. but that was the carrot.
The stcik was that they would never listen to what anyone else was thinking about.
If they had a stuck to the original idea of the timeline. Kept out all the Jedi, and made it more like what they had thought of. Things one of the users was saying is why not put all the bounty/smuggler classes on Tatooeine. Have them start out near Mos-EIsly, and JAbbas Palace. Wasnt the cantina there supposed to be the place where all the scum of the universse hung out ? Along those lines. GIve you the missions from NPCs rather then the terminals.
Same thing could be said for most of the other classes. Great Idea for the 'keeping it together thing'.
The one thing that upset most people was the over-abundance of Jedi, and the fact that the Bounty Hunters couldnt kill em. If you look at ep 3, it was a couple of stroom troopers shooting from all directions that killed them.
But not ton Galaxies.. Too much of a stretch for my 15$ a month.. grr.

Maybe I culd be more specific..
The test was being done with a road test guy from the dmv, In the car, just like a regular driving test.
The phone part was Jamie asking questions that would make you have to think about the answers.
When they did relativly simple drivng tasks, both testees flunked. They ran over cones, failed the parallel park, and they also flunked the stop test.
The idea was that cell phone driving was as dangerous as drunk driving.
It was also noted that you could drop the cellphone, however you cant become undrunk.
As a side note as well, this could be a good way to test people to see. If you have enough of a base, then you can get what you need from it. Thats a good thing. Its like anything. SOme people can handle it... some cant. But you need to find out how many.
This is the transcript from the show.
"For the test they used Kari and Adam as the test drivers and they went to Infineon Raceway near Sonoma. The test course had four parts:
* Accelerate to 30mph and then stop at a stop sign.
* Parallel park
* Time trial: average 15mph through the whole course (not faster or slower)
* Accident avoidance: while going 30mph, told to switch to left, right, or center lane
Each part was graded by an instructor who was in the car with them.
Sober/Control Run
Both Adam and Kari passed the course, though Kari had a bit of trouble parallel parking.
Cellphone Run
For the cellphone run, Jamie talked to the driver on a cellphone asking three types of questions:
* repeat the sentence (e.g. "The driver was stopped for driving 67mph in a 20mph zone")
* verbal puzzle "If Jack stole Ann's ball, who's the thief", and the more difficult, "If you see a picture with a diamond, rectangle, and a circle, and the circle is to the right of the rectangle, and directly above the diamond, is the rectangle right above the diamond?"
* list five things about a particular subject "Give me five things that are in the interior of your car," "Give me five things that are part of your daily work."
Kari failed, including offenses such as using her elbow to steer and failing over half of the obstacles. Adam failed as well.
FYI: Kari's answers to "give things that are part of your dialy work" included: "Kissing ass" and "doing my hair." Adam's daily work list included the more boring: "drilling and tapping," "making phone calls," "Checking my e-mail," "avoiding phone calls from certain people."
Drunk Driving Run"
There was an episode that was done a while that addressed this same problem. They had a gentleman from the DMV perform a driving test. Two of them had to take the test as a baaseline.Things like driving through pylons, and accelerating and stopping. All of these were low speed tests.
They then did the test on their cell phones. They had to answer a bunch of different questiions, like "What colour is your hair, ' other questions to see if they could understand a series of questions. And different sets of demands on the phone.
They then had to do the test again, but drunk. They had a couple of cops, doing a brythaliser test.
They flunked both road test preatty mush the same. They were surpisred that the phone and the alcohol would affect them the same way.
Of course lots of people would say ' well there isnt enough data to make that work.' But that is a good way to start. If you were to test 100 people in the same manner, I think that it would be surprisig.

Sounds a lot like the addage..its easier to gouge you know, and apoligse later.
Especially if you know what you are doing.
Im sure that most people probably wont bother.
Slack distro was in 1996, I think I still have the CD package that it shipped in.
Kinda neat. Its also the latest distro that my other home pc uses. I am using xp on the laptop. Id convert but Im too lazy, its nice to have the seperation.
Its also bigger things, that you might not realise, the Evengelical GOOGLE even does this. They give away all there bigger stuff, like the search, maps, etc, but then reap the benefits with the paid ads.
All very cool.
"as they score points for each crime committed, the CSIs must discover what consists of getting to the next level in the game in order to stop the culprits before they strike again.'"
How come the CSI's are investigating anything other then the crime scene itself ? I thought that the Homicide detectives were there to stop the Homicides ? Thats the part I could never get either. Why is it that these guys go and confront the brutal killers themsevles, no back up, and the culprits give themselves up ?

So what Sony is saying is that their new movies are so good, so special that they are worth far more than any of the titles of the 20th century. And this is so without the disk and packaging. And you have to pay for the downloading and storage costs.
Such incredible arrogance. "
I work in the industry, and yes even though the savings in the distribution model are huge, thats not the only cost thats involeved. Its a vary physical thing to make movies. The cast of the film is most of what it is. Labour and staff are about a 1/4 to a third, and equipment and effects eats up the last of it, not to mention fuel for the cars and generators.
I don't understand why people have a a problem with them making a profit. Big or small. If there was no profit, then most of the movies wouldnt have been made. Where is the incentive for lord of the rings ? Or Star Wars? Or Harry Potter? Etc. IF you dont want to buy them, then don't. No one is forcing your hands.
It takes at least 5 million dollars to probduce a small budget move these days. How much does it take to make one song? I don't think that the music industry should be priced at the same level as the film industry. I think that the earlier price point, at 5$ seems ok, the one dollar is ridiculous. The convience of the LapTop vs the 'experience' of the theatre, thats what will sell it.
The copyright notice, however small is usally on the back. However it is assumed that you would know, there are plenty of opportunities to be aware, not to mention the ubiquitous 'for private viewing' notices.
I think that nowadays you can assume a license is in place, then not on most things.

Yes I was thinking along the same lines, however, it oculd be more 2 minutes of them programming, then 45 minutes of blue screen. ;)
This is funny not flamebait

Because they released the Xbox with those bugs, and they crash. Now they have to apply a patch somehow, which is gonna cost a lot.

If it asks for anything more then username/email then I always fake it I dont know why they need to know all that. Seems Joe Blow's a lot of people.
Or even the 'if you want to read this news article, then you need to watch this 30 second commercial.' gads!
At least geeks in general dont really go out, so I think that this will pass us by.. (its a joke, read it that way)
Nah, I wanna watch "girls gone wild!'
