RTFA FFS! Her device uses 2 batteries (2.4-3v depending on chemistry) a chip and inductor etc to generate 5v to charge apple devices.
She needs to convince the device to draw 500ma not 1A.
On top of that, the method that worked on iPods stopped working on the iPhone 3Gs, so she needed to determine what resistor values (voltages) were required to convince the iPhone to charge, and draw 500ma.
Wow. All I can say is WTF?
I don't want to come off as a Dell fanboi, but I've been at my company for 7 years, and we've been Dell for the whole time. Servers, switches, notebooks and a few desktops, and VERY few problems. When we do have problems, service and support have been very good. Compared to Compaq/HP at other companies I deal with which are a horror show.
I'm typing this on a Latitude D810 that was 3 years on the job at the company, and a few more here at home.
We DID have 3 desktops that had bad capacitors, and Dell replaced the motherboards AFTER the warranty expired. Now maybe Dell Canada has better service than the U.S. but we've always been happy.
Things like dropping a laptop from 20 feet up onto concrete because you had more residual lubricant on your gloved hand than you realized happen on occasion
Yeah thanks for that. Fscking TSA... how you accidentally dropped it *up* 20 feet is beyond me though. And geez, ferchrissake change gloves after the cavity search before inspecting my notebook.
But then I remembered how many SUVs there are on the road, and how badly they handle and brake.
WTF? A company I used to work for made us go on a high speed collision avoidance driving course (lot's of fun as it turns out) we had the option of using our own vehicles, so I brought my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Co-workers were shocked. "You'll roll it!!" I said "you watch too much TV" and took it through all the manouvers. Most were shocked at how well it handled, and braked.
Yes my current German AWD sedan handles/brakes better, but not much better, the Jeep was great in it's day.
"Then again they actually spent the R&D money to come up with something better. Everyone keeps talking about needing innovations in batteries for Hybrids, Electrics, Laptops, Cell Phones and Apple actually did it."
Really? Apple actually came up with a new or improved battery technology? DO tell. Usually they just buy from Sony et al.
And they REALLY get 7 hours? Colour me skeptical.
So do hard-coded static on the device and add it as a reservation on the DHCP server.
That way, all of your IP addresses are in 1 place, the DHCP server.
My personal experience is that Nagios is probably the LEAST easy to use of any piece of software, period.
You've obviously never installed/configured RT3.
I used to use Big Brother, tried Zenoss after reading about it, then tried Nagios. Nagios totally rocks.
It's not THAT hard to configure. We use Nagios, Snort, Ntop and RT3. Hard to say how much money I saved by not using any of the big commercial products, but it's a lot. But RT3, crap, THAT is hard to get going..
The first broadband ISP I ever had was Shaw Cable, and back then, there was no such thing as 'broadband routers' - heck, we couldn't even justify buying a switch
Ok there were no commercial cheap Dlink or Linksys(gag) routers back then. But that certainly doesn't mean you needed to have all your boxen exposed on a Shaw's public IP. Yikes.
Here in Calgary, while I waited for Shaw to be available in my 'hood, I was already using NAT (ip masquerade) on a Linux box, doing ppp dial-up to Telus (man that sucked).
Once Shaw was available, a simple re-config and Bob's your auntie.
while blank CDs cost about $40 for 50 WTF? Where are you buying these? Staples???
50 Good quality White printable 700MB CDRs are $9.99 CDN where I shop.
But isn't that methane? (just curious) Some methane, but not much. Mostly Sulphur Dioxide. I think.
I'm not really a smart feller, more a fart smeller.
Personally, I favor gerbils - they are great for shredding moderate amounts of printed data. They don't do much for the working copy on the hard drive, though.

But it has sucky "badges" to annoy and interrupt you.
Badges? BADGES? We don't need no steenkin' badges!!

*I'm* turning 50 this year, you insensitive clod! Now get off my lawn!

+5 for using both C-words while referring to Apple :)

He's probably got either Mobile Speaks [codefactory.es]
D'oh! Yes, you're correct. I thought he had JAWS, but that was on an older device, and his PCs.
My blind friend uses an HTC Mogul, with a mobile version of JAWS. JAWS is probably the speech software for most blind computer users.

Mod up for "Human interst fappery" and hambeast. Love it!
Um, that's incompetence.
I've long been an advocate of bringing back crucifixion
Right. Line on the left, one cross each....
The weather here in Calgary has been uncharacteristically cloudy for this time of year. Lots of rain and thunderstorms
You must be new here (in Calgary) We always get thunderstorms/hail starting right around Stoopede week. Have been for years.
as what has happened in Canada shows. Lots of Mooses (Meese? Moose?) were killed in floods,
That's Moosen eh!
My sister was bitten by a Moose you insensitive clod! (I'll probably be sacked for that)
On top of that, there's this troublesome thing called "winter" in some places...
We get winter here in Canada. Once a year even. As far back as I can remember, the sun still shines, albeit a few fewer hours a day.
Do you get wafers with it?
