I learned of this program now that I have been flirting with cydia on my cell phone for a while; It is also available for computers (windows mac linux) The OSX version seems to work well with 10.6 at least. I like the effect but I wonder what the hardcore photo-guys and film color correction operators think about it ? Maybe future devices will come equipped with advanced ambient light sensors that will adjust the colour temperature automatically ?

They have also posted a fair amount of evidence for health benefits. http://stereopsis.com/flux/research.html

Would it then be possible for a quad IP25 with 4MB SCs ? :twisted: Or is it not supported in the microcode eproms/glue logic/etc ?

It could be something as simple as there is nothing in between the mains receptacle and the ac on the backplane but a circuit breaker. Then if you used two supplies each with receptacles you would have live pins on the second suppy begging to short on something.

Typical dutch.. You know... Elongated... It is a verrrry fast bike :twisted: I like it more than the current trend of a tall cyclist with a tiny bike and 2' seatpost.

Think it's getting to be that time of year again, riding to work... Too nice outside to be stuck in a metal box!

Had a lovely romp in the woods this morning, I ran 14 miles yesterday so I was too sore to stay all day :(

Thought some people might get a kick of this little project. We had the point cloud man in today and I filmed him working for a bit. The files are imported into solidworks.

This is their second time out for a detail scan of holes, bolts, etc. A few weeks ago they were out with an automated machine for rough dimensions.

No, but that would be really cool for a future generation. For now, the software calculates sunrise/sunset from your location and time of day. It would be nice to have a manual override (or maybe plugged into the philly hue kit )

Indeed.


Technically speaking, the software works quite well. The only program it causes flickering with for me (and I play a fair amount of different games) is Halo.

It's like one of those xbox avatars for runner-types. You can buy a wristwatch device called a sportband (about $50, it is also a nice watch in it's own right) which includes a sensor that is strapped to your shoelace, it then records how you run.

The system used to feature a character that you could customize to your likeness, which would then masquerade as a screensaver on your computer. The whole site was redesigned in fall of 2012 with a much less colorful/cartoon look, it's rather drab now.

Back on topic... I looked through the avatar gallery and while the artwork is very nice it is not something I would use to represent myself ;)

I have an "old" (they changed the layout a few years ago) N8VEM, it was a fun project and is still poked at occasionally (introducing friends to cpm etc). Never did get around to building the video terminal kit.

Huh, my nekochan looks different. (there are different skins available, but IIRC mine is the default...)

You eat Cadillacs; Lincolns too... Mercurys and Subarus.
I used to run Gentoo on my Octanes, it would have been abut the 2.6.5 (linux kernel version) era.. one of the guys in our LUG even had X working with most of KDE. Mips-Linux is interesting but you will have more fun with Irix.

I would skip the G5 and go for a mac pro. An early mac pro is about the same price and vastly faster (and more useful) than a high-end G5 (some people here will throw things at me for saying that). Also, avoid the G5's with Delphi radiators as they tend to leak, look for one fitted with a panasonic cooler or air-cooled model.

It may not be SysV but I consider OSX to be fairly standard unix. I like macports which is familiar if you use other BSDs. And there are some here who say it's not a workstation for real men with lots of chest hair unless it requires 3 phase, 480/600v power and at least 3 technicians to install it. (my workstation is a mac air so YMMV...)

If the CPU module goes bad, it's almost always the cache memory, and IRIX should complain about uncorrectable cache errors.

The single-link DVI specification supports a maximum pixel clock of 165MHz. Recondas' 1920x2400 resolution used a low 33Hz refresh rate. Multiplying 1920x2400 pixels times 33Hz gives 152064000 pixles/second, or about at 152MHz of bandwidth required.


Do frontporch/backporch pixels and overscan lines need to be considered with DVI? That would round up the bandwidth a fair bit...

Film at 24 but the traditional cinema projector has a 3-sprocket shutter of sorts that flashes the same frame 3 times. So 72 Hz, which is a bit of a misconception on lower refresh == "film-like" looks.

On a positive note, we can still tune most of it out and stick with some consistent environments like MWM and FVWM...

that's the problem because for linux/bsd the app support is too poor on the desktop. so the only compromise is osx which is totally ruled by fashion as you called it.
And is also the one which has changed the least over the past decade... but has been relegated to 2nd fiddle by iOS.

Cleaning the compression connectors is a good idea, I would start by pulling off the frontplane and wiping the contacts clean with isopropyl alcohol. Blow off the other side of the connection with compressed air.

Have you tried reseating the CPU?

Good chance it's lifted pins on the tram chips... It's every other line beacuse I believe the system interleaves between tram modules. I have had the same problem (but with black lines instead of red) with my Octane MXI. It may be curable:

Sorry, didn't mean to be condescending.. it's good to know that it works with these devices, and not just (i.e. indycam and O2cam).

All I've ever gotten to see is: :oops:


Still it is a very cool default setup ;)

back when I was using linux, I ran xmonad and really liked it... tiling managers seem to be an ideal compromise between windowing managers and the modern iphone/tablet paradigm.

I have one with a geforce 320m and one with a radeon 5770 but I'm not sure if the usefulness of this benchmark is worth getting it to run on snow leopard...

You could try the binary I attached?

not sure if you'll need xquartz installed or not, might be worth a try?


I tried with both the Apple X11 and the latest xquartz and I kept getting something like "illegal command" when I ran it. Not sure if it was actually using the latest xquartz or not, will try again tomorrow.

Still not sure the value of running a benchmark designed to show off one 18 year old system on a 3 year old laptop is a super valuable use of time ;)

Thanks, stoo - your version compiled/works fine on my MP, will try it on the air (1.4 c2d, geforce 320m) when I get to the lab.

Heresy! ;)
seeing the paths in the compile string was quite useful 8-)


edit: added test with GeForce320M.

Using XQuartz 2.7.4:

Using Apple XQuartz 2.3.6:
Code:

Maybe I'll try XQuartz 2.7.4 on the Radeon... see, big waste of time :lol:

Mine do, see above... :P

Something is not right, looking at the scores... it should be at least 10 million because that's what IR can do :) even a lowly geforce 320m squeaked by with almost 40m...

It isn't the drawer that decides which SCSI bus the disk is on, if you look at a drive sled you will notice a pair of connectors and a pair of jumper pins. You can mix and match SE and HVD in the same machine just by setting up the disk sleds. I have all of my devices set up for SE on the same bus, because it's the easy thing to do.

The default setup (at least for desksides) is SE on A and Diff on B. http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi ... /ch04.html

Moved to a new house at the end of april. Hopefully I will be here for a while. ;) I finally have room to set up :Octane: and :Onyx: again :mrgreen: as soon as I can find a suitable monitor as those old HP lcds are long gone (were cut up and put in the dashboard of a friend's car...)
