Yeah, sounds like they really need a video wall controller instead of each monitor being independently driven. With a video wall controller you can drive all the monitors from a single controller and then resize 'windows (or inputs)' across the hole thing, in a corner, etc. Each input becomes a window. You can also save layouts/change them according to shift/etc.
With a video wall controller you specify the number of inputs/outputs you need. Many also allow for IP based sources (cameras, remote screens via IP, etc).
This frustrated me this year. I received a pre-pair card from the State of Oklahoma for my OK Tax Return. I swear I filled out the direct deposit info, but perhaps I didn't (I could check my copies...). What upset me is the fees for funds withdrawals/etc. This is my money, the state and its corporate partner shouldn't be making money off me when I try to get it.
The card did allow a single withdrawal without a fee at an ATM. I couldn't find an ATM it would work in. Finally logged in to the associated website and transferred to my banking account, with a $0.75 fee. What a crock!
I also have a 2600N and on quality paper it makes great color prints and is pretty fast at it too. Further I used the HP Trade in program (http://www.hp.com/united-states/tradein/home_alt. html)
when I purchased my printer. I had an old HP Laserjet 4 (man those things are work horses) that they gave me an $80 credit on plus paid for shipping back to HP. All in all I spent about 200 - 220 on a color laser printer with networking, I'm very happy with the results.
Thank goodness someone said something! I'm tired of cames with 50 button combos, complex controls, blah blah blah. I want to be able to finish the game simply while having fun. If I enjoyed the game then I will learn all the extras. Don't waste my time, I want to have fun and not feel stressed/turned off by all the crap I have to learn just to play.
I sincerely think this is the next 'paradigm shift' in the entertainment industry. Basically artists make a deal with a distributor directly, getting rid of all the middle men/distribution layers/etc. Of course, for the small artist this could be tough (no big advertising budget), but for a small growing band gives them a chance to sell locally, pay for advertising as they go, instead of indebting theirselves to Big Monkey for upteen records/years.
I have high def, and I love it. Right now I only get OTA HDTV, but still I'm very pleased (and the price is right.. free, if you don't count a 3 grand plasma and a 70 dollar high def tuner off ebay). At any rate, PBS regularly has great high def programming, FOX/CBS/etc broadcast a lot of primetime in high def these days. And finally, even if its not in high def, I'd rather watch the high def stream with stretching/whatever just for the clarity of the signal. OTA I get NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS (OETA), a few religious channels (why?) and a local channel that always does old school tv programming. I wish everything was in high def, the difference is considerable, most anyone can notice it, especially sporting events.
Was it just me, or after reading this story (especially the last paragraph), did you get the feeling that you just wasted your time reading a story that basically said in itself that it wasn't much of a story?
InSQL works as an OLE Processes for SQL Server. You can use pretty much any tool (ODBC/ADO/excel/DAO/whatever) to query the database. Yes I realize I mixed libraries/methods/applications in the tool list, but just trying to get across a basic idea.
Yes, per point licensing, I believe we licensed for 60k points, not sure on the cost. This is pretty typical in the SCADA world I believe.
Sample query I'd use to get all data for a specific rtu select * from live where tagname like 'StationName%'
Two tables use typically work with, live and history. Live between the latest values, history for historical queries.
As for query times, very respectable. I believe we have about 50k points right now, updated/stored every 30 seconds (Actually, its delta storage, so some discrete points who don't change every 30 seconds would be stored only on change...). So how many rows is that?
1440 minutes per day * 2 samples per minute * 50000 points * 180 days (approx history we have online) = 25,920,000,000 rows.
We have asp pages people query the data from, we limit 30 second resolution data to only 2 days at a time (to help prevent loading down the machines) but a query for any point will typically return in a few seconds.
We are pretty satisfied with the product, may not fit your needs, but its been good for us.
Check out wonderware InSQL. We update roughly 50k points every 30 seconds without loading the server much at all. Pretty nice product, also has some custom extensions to SQL built in for querying the data (eg cyclic, resolution, delta storage, etc etc).
I have the basic Vonage 500 minutes/month plan for $14.99. Cox internet service (4 Mb down,.5 Mb up) for $50/month (would be $40 but I don'tuse their cable service). Additional minutes for VoIP (which I've never come close to the 500 minute limit) are billed at 3.9 cents/minute.
So for $64.99 month I get my internet access and Voip.
Start up fees for internet were free, for the Vonage VoIP Service it was 29.99 + 9.95 shipping/handling. So lets say $40 for startup.
The linksys RT31P2 VoIP router was included in that price (I understand there is now a wireless version available!). I simply unplugged SBCs line outside, and plugged in a cable from the router to the phone jack in the wall and wallah, phone service using my normal phones throughout the house. For me its nice that the RT31P2 just works, no maintenance, no problems, no ext2 file system to crash, whatever.
So total set up fee $40. Monthly fees for Vonage, $15 (+ some tax so like $16.50 a month). Monthly fee for cable $49.95. So for $67.00 month full internet and phone.
Cable outages happen about once every 2 months. So reliability hasn't been an issue. Voice quality is great, actually there is a setting in the router to adjust the Quality of Service settings for the voip. When a voip call comes in, it automatically adjusts my bandwidth allocation to provide for the phone service, when I hang up, my download speeds/torrents/whatever go full rate again.
Now I just wish Tivo or someone would allow me to have a TV Subscription service, watch what I want, when I want, and only pay for what I view. That'd be nirvana.
All in all I'm pleased with VoIP and would recommend it to anyone.
Xbox live sucks. I'm always getting dropped... hop online and play Q3/whatever pc game things work fine. I don't get what the deal is with Xbox live, me, and my friends, seem to have the same problem, getting dropped frequently.
Is this the result of Bush Foreign Relations policy? NASA being 'big headed' or what? Why would we ever deny the chance for an up and coming nation to work with us?

I'd be very curious to know the output of the units on a nimitz class carrier.
and after a quick wiki article..
two 104 MWe units. Very nice.
32 kW, not MW, thats kilowatt, not megawatt.

No dump trucks, just makes the internets tubes frictionless and so big any Mario size person can fit down them.

Of course, you'll need your data to come from an OPC/Suitelink/other supported protocol, but should work nicely for you.

I believe the High Def Tivo uses MPEG2 for its data streams, won't be capable of decoding the MPEG4 streams.
Same here. I click the link, Firefox crashes. What gives?

I have hosted my sql-ledger system on both windows and on linux. And the fact that it can export pdfs of my bills/etc is great!
You know.. its easy really
Go to
Edit - Preferences - Navigator - Downloads.
Select the option to open a progress dialog.
Then works just about like IE.

Works fine I guess... never really got used to it myself.
Hmmm.
I know there are a lot of Ts going into the Plaza west building not very far from there so this should be a very possible solution.
Hmm, perhaps you've beaten everone to the punch and are already taking creatine hence your insight into the bad jokes...
