I keep a SMP tyan board in a 4U case around for this reason. I can mount and read: MFM, RLL, ESDI, SCSI, and IDE drives on that machine. In addition I have two boot disks (one IDE the other SCSI) so no matter what technology drive I need to read I can boot off of my known boot disk. Also, I have a 720/1.44 floppy and can swap out either a 360K or 1.2M 5.25" floppy as needed and have an external 180K 5.25 and 1.2M 8" drive.
More than once I've used that machine to retrieve data from old disks. The fun part is that even if I don't know the format I can usually make a dd image of the drive.
Downside is that I have to go and swap controllers out as there are not enough ISA slots for the MFM, RLL, ESDI, and external floppy all at the same time (they don't all play nice together either).
I also keep my old CSC HDD Bible around. Only thing missing is the ability to read 5.25" hard sector disks.
I have successfully returned opened software for a refund (not replacement). to be fair I did buy something else, but in the return process I pointed out that I relied on their salesperson to steer me to a product that would do what I asked for and the product I was sold did not. Pretty simple really, I had installed it, accepted the license agreement, on-line activated and everything. Then I tried to use it and the features I was promised by the salesperson were there, were in fact not there.
I would suggest something similar on these games. Ask if an on-line connection is required to play the game in single player mode. If you are told it is not required, buy it, open it, return it when it doesn't work.
Enough of this and retailers are going to stop carrying titles that cause them trouble. That will get the publishers to notice.
I found crowbars to be too messy for kneecaps and skulls. Baseball bat manufacturers... Those are the real nefarious ones because their tools are less obvious when openly carried...
I have 2 wi-fi APs, one encrypted, one open. the open one has a separate link to the router and is untrusted. You have to accept that I may or may not be running a transparent proxy as MITM and that I may or may not trap your credentials, and that I may or may not server you the internet rendered as a single PNG of the page and an imagemap for URLs instead of html you were expecting and the imagemap and PNG are inverted vertically. -nB
What the OP needs is called a large format copy stand. You want a lens that is "normal" to your film size, thus 50mm on 35mm film as an example.
for an APSc size sensor in a digital camera I think the normal lens would be ~30mm.
I don't know if you want color information or not but honestly either way I would shoot film, then scan the result. For B&W, shoot Technical Pan film as an ISO of 6, develop in technidol developer (enlist advanced photo class people at a UNI to help with this). For color use Fuji Velvia at 50.
The photo class people will have the copy stands and appropriate cover glass / filters to get the contrast you want as well.
While I have not done maps, I have done large hand drawn artwork this way and the result is vastly better than you would get from directly shooting on a digital (IMHO). Cheers, -nB
biggest ripoff ever. I use a modified multi outlet strip with banana plugs and an amp meter. more accurate, just as easy, and you can say "here hold these wires" and shock the living hell outa someone. Oh and you can measure neutral-ground leakage as well.
I've never lost an LTO tape, but I have lost DAT tapes on more than one occasion. Never used DLT.
So, yeah I'd make two copies to tape. Make 1 now, + sore the HDD. Once you're fairly sure the end user won't be needing the data make the second tape, then re-use the HDD.
Rule Number 0: VERIFY YOU CAN READ THE DAMN TAPES!
From what I understand, they guy asking for them was not in the "need to know" list of people.
I've done that where I work and while the manager in question got all hot headed at me, upper management backed me up. I think this is a similar issue, except upper management did not back up their admin for following policy.
And that's the real issue. We in the US are not opposed to single payer health care per se; we are terrified of any possible implementation of it by our government.

sure that's the idea, Sometimes, however, you have one client that has a higher demand, and is willing to pay you handsomely to be at their beck and call. It's more of a retainer if you will, and you can still take on small projects as they come available.
I have done contract work in the past and my current employer picked me up GFT because they wanted me available whenever they wanted. In exchange for a regular paycheck they get first dibs on my time. I stayed hourly, which is the next best thing to a contract job. It's funny but I've noticed 4 strata in pay: from bottom to top: Hourly, low pay (production techs, etc.): always want to go exempt, to become an engineer of some sort Exempt engineering: trying to figure out how to make more, realizing that they will "top out" Contract hourly: Makes almost 2x the average exempt exempt upper management: the C level and E level positions.
While I no longer make what I did straight as a contractor, I still get paid OT, and that's what puts me over the top of many of my peers. -nB
one thing I did do recently, with a house already wired with coax... Now that TV is digital the old analog (whoseawhatsits) to put a composite signal onto a TV frequency are really cheap. I now have channel 5, 14, and 36 available as "antenna" channels fed from an old playback PC with nVidia cards and composite output. Each screen is a TV channel, and a web interface on the PC lets you launch a player with a movie on a channel. This is all SD not HD, but I think it's cool. -nB
That's what I was thinking. 100BaseT is on twisted pair 100 ohm impedance. Simply wiring up to the shield and conductor of the coax won't work worth a damn (50 or 75 ohm will cause bit error rates like hell).
Get a balun transformer that matches 100 ohms to 75 or 50 ohms (depending on your cable) and two cables + 4 baluns = one 100 meg run.
That said, the baluns have to work at 125MHz, and you'll find they are quite pricey. You'll likely want to simply pull new cable. -nB
If you were underage, file kiddie porn charges... You would get a huge damages award and some IT flunky would get nailed for it, the administration would walk away scott free.
get the U3 uninstaller from their site. It will re-format the disk and permanently remove the face cd-rom drive. Or you can do what I did and hack it to change people's desktop when they "borrow" your key and plug it into their machine (since windows sees it as a cd-rom it will execute the autorun, unlike on a USB device.) -nB

you obviously have never shot techpan have you.
I think digitals are great, but there is no comparison to the higher end films.
no macro lens.

You want a lens that is "normal" to your film size, thus 50mm on 35mm film as an example.
