I would much rather have a real Matrox video card that supports triple head plus TV out then a box that emulates this type of setting. I saw this product on there website a few weeks ago and it seemed like the only place this would come in handy is for taking a laptop to a confrence room or any other venue that might have a projector or other secondary dispaly that is only need temporarily.
I thought most scanners are basically designed to take photos and turn them into a digital format.
Seriously if you are talking about a system that you can just pop a stack of photos on and have the process automated you'd be talkin' $$$$$.
Personally I really like epson scanners if yuo get a USB 2.0 or Firewire compatible one they are fast. Store the photos in a lossless Jpeg, RAW, or my preference in TIF. Back up to a RAID 5 or Mirror and then archive with RAR and recovery segments onto DVD-R.
While this does not encrypt the data on the HD the BIOS on my Thinkpad has several level of password protection and one is to protect the Hard Drive. If the password is enabled and I plug the drive into another system it shows in the BIOS but is not mounted by windows. You can't even see the drive in disk management.
Now there may exist easy work-arounds, but I am not to concerned about being target by someone who knows what they are doing. The people who want to steal my stuff are just trying to resell the hardware for their next hit. Just want to make it frustrating for the morons who steal.
I work for Unisys, worst job I have ever had. I was working for IBM. IBM lost the service contract and I ended up working for Unisys.
Unisys is one of the most unethical companies I have done business with. What can you expect though, our major contract is with Dell. So Dell is awarded a contract and then Unisys fullfills the service end of that agreement. So not only do I work for an awful company I get to deal with crappy Dell hardware, and a Dell Helpless desk (as the customers on my site have come to call them).
It is no surprise that Unisys overbilled the TSA. We are constantly told to put time on both our tickets and another accounting method. In effect this often double bills our customer or increases the time that we put on calls. In an eight hour day I have often done 15-20 hours worth of work. I often work reimaging one or two systems an complete other calls, but on a busy day a may really only perform 10-12 hours worth of work in 8 hours.
I am currently looking for a new job. I try to be as honest as I can and still follow this screwed up system. Although when a company chooses the lowest bidder they do get what they pay for. And the Dells and Unisyses of the industry are going to make the profit margin by cheating their customers. It's a good thing I like the company that I support.

Will this finally rid us of core OS pieces that are supposed to be simple applications? By having all of these services remote it seems that IE could revert to a simple web browser and office wont change how the OS runs, etc. Microsoft could free Windows of all extra (and dangerous) applications that make themselves one with the operating system.
I'm glad my cell phone only interfaces with the cell tower, a power adapter and me. I hate new cell phones, I just want to orally communicate, nothing else. That is what my laptop is for.
I agree with the parent. Thinkpads should be black. They have always been business machines, are great at it. My 2.5 year old A31 still bests my new dell desktop here at work.
Lenovo is going to milk the Thinkpad name with an inferior product geared towards the average consumer. If I wanted a laptop for the average jo I would by a dell, sadly with this transition there are no real laptop vendors available.
He gets that money back, or at least the firm that fronts the money for bail. Typically they charge you 10% (so 2 grand for the bail money in this case) and then the firm gets the money back when he shows up to court. So it is going to cost him less then 1,000 bucks from the price of the laptop. Although maybe he makes bank on ebay and fronted the 20G's himself. Still sucks either way.
This review is extremely bias. WD drives are missing from the review, and both Seagate and Hitachi make 300 gig SATA 150 drives. Why compare the 500 and 200 gig models? Also the 500 gig hitachi comes in SATA3, lets see that stacked against the 150's.
Great I can just imagine trying to get more then one of these to broadcast and receive in the same airspace. Currently the 104mbps routers broadcast accross 9 or so channels, meaning that there is great interference accross normal usable channels.
It has always bothered me (living in an apartment complex) when you see three access points on channel 11, all interfering with each other. And then you see a Router on 6, but it is broadcasting at 104 mbps and taking up channels 2-10. It is very rude. I wish that manufacures would just stick to three channels 1, 6, 11. Then there would be no interferance, and stop selling juiced up routers that break these standards and kill all of the channels.
As was stated by earlier on slashdot when the gentleman was originally arrested. When one sets up a wireless network with a router you are setting automatic authentication. If one chooses no security then they are authorizing anyone who meets those requirements access to that network.
So if someone sets the network up with no encryption, MAC IDing, or the like then there is an open invitation to anyone who can meet the minimum requirements.
I am glad that France won this, after all they are the world leader in nuclear energy for their own country. With Fusion the next logical step in the energy industry (from Fission) I feel that France has earned this. I wish the US would follow other countries with regard to nuclear energy.
I recently finished a video editing project that was over 100 gigs in size, video, audio, pictures and the final DVD ISO.
Here is the solution I have. On my server there are 6 250gig drive in a RAID 5 configuration, giving me just over 1 TB of redundant storage. On this partition are 4 folders, Waiting, Active, Finished, and Archived.
The waiting folder is were all new projects are ripped to, DV-stream, pictures, audio, basically anything unedited. The contents of this folder are also copied to a hard disk on my editing station. I don't always back up my waiting projects to the server as all I have done is rip the DV-stream, scanned images, or pulled them off CF.
The Active folder contains all of the projects that I am currently working on. These projects are on my working drive on the editing station and then when I am done with my editing session I copy and replace files on the server.
The finished folder is where I put all my projects that are completed but are not yet archived to disc. There is a copy of this folder on my desktop as well.
Archiving the all critical conclusion. I take the project folder and use winRAR to make 4gig archives, and for every 5-10 of those parts I have winRAR create a recovery segment, acts just like RAID for ever recovery file I have I can loose or corrupt one of the parts and it will recreate it. I then take those 4gig files and run them through WinRAR again, this time dividing them into 200meg chucks with two recovery files.
For example, I take a 60gig project and divide it into 15 chucks plus 2 recovery then divide those 17 chucks into the 20 200meg chunks plus 2 recovery ones. I burn these all to DVD (single layer) and now have each disc RAID 7 and then the set of disks RAID 7ed. So I can have two discs now blow up and loose have 2 files on each disc go bad and still have my data.
The archiving of the data to disc is simply a backup of the RAID 5 on the server. These disc should be kept somewhere other then where the server is. This is basically incase the server burns down. There is a way (lengthy) to get the data back.
This is alot of work, but it has worked good for me, and keeps my work organized and I know exactly the state of the work.
The original post appears to be talking about percentage points not volume or $$'s. IBM is 2-3 times the size of HP. IBM might not make the same percentage in revenue that HP does on Linux, but IBM invest way more in developement. I can't connect to the article right now to verify that it is talking percentage and not volume.
Blue Gene L has been under construction at Lawrence Livermore Labs, by IBM. It broke the 100 TF mark months ago, and is only 1/2 way done at 180TF. It is expected reach 360 TF's when complete. And it uses Intel Processors, so the first post is irrelevant about Apple switching to Intel and moving from IBM.
Bingo! For a company that easily banks a quarter of it's revenue off Disney World alone, and another 15-25 percent from other parks and resorts, why put money into a movie when it only makes up 10% revenue.
Walt Disney was about inovation and used film to produce the technologies for Disneyland, while he never neglected movies he offloaded that work while he work on creating Disneyland and Starting Disney World. He didn't loose intrest in the movies, but knew that it wasn't his focus anymore.
Disney is smart to keep producing movies, and for what it is worth I think they are fine. But when you operate the top 7 themed parks globally, why not continue advancing on that front. Should not be long before the top ten parks globally are Disney owned.
My EPSON wasn't that hard to clean. I have a 780 that I got from a friend, hadn't been used in two years and the yellow wouldn't print, pulled off the print head and rubbed alcohol on it with a Q-tip and then used cotton balls to clean the excess ink. Prints beautifully now.
This is only a temp fix, the real way to take care of it is to go into where you have office installed and under start up there is pdf.dot file for word and then in the xlstart there is like a pdf.xot or something like that. You need to delete those.
I work IT at a large campus, the high and mighty overlords decided to push Office 2003 on all the users. Using a minimal install (of course) and most users have been running Acrobat 5.0. This cost us tons of time installing the newer version on all those effected.
My experience has been that Adobe products are general very controllable and easy to interface with other software. But to have a new version of office require an upgrade can only be M$'s fault.
This is one of the many problems with SBC. They refuse to evolve. Providing no VoIP service.
I have even heard SBC radio advertisements downing ATT because they no longer go after traditional home phone users, but fails to mention that they are the only major telecomm to start aggressively moving towards VoIP.
I recently signed up for ATT VoIP and love the service. Comes with tons of features (most go unused) with unlimited long distance for 30 bucks a month. My only fear now is that SBC will aquire ATT and screw everything up.
