Well, I just got word from our Sys Admin that the server was fine and no other reports came in. Near as we can figure out the PHP script got fouled up in Internet Explorer. I was out of the office and remoted in to send the mail out. I think may have caused the script look that sent out 50+ copies of the email. | |
I am still looking into the catastrophic email loop that happened on the server earlier. Our Server host is checking logs to see why it spit out 50+ copies. Damn PHP scripts. | |
Sorry...I just sent out our review notice and it appears it replicated about 30 times. I am looking into the issue. I apologize for any inconvenience. More... | |

This is a very appropriate saying with regard to sound isolation. We are often asked questions like: "What can I do to this wall to stop the sound going through to the bedroom on the other side?" It's almost incomprehensible to people that the wall may not be (and probably isn't) the only part that is leaking sound to that bedroom. The other parts might well be the floor, the ceiling joists and other shared walls. You could make changes and increase the STC (Sound Transmission Coefficient) dramatically for that wall, but the result might be marginal because the majority of the sound is getting through elsewhere. | |

The goal of all speaker placement for movie soundtrack playback and multichannel music reproduction -- even stereo -- is a smooth, consistent and unbroken soundstage across the front, coupled with a sense of envelopment in the ambient surround effects. In other words, you're after a sense of location, whether that is suggested by what's on-screen, by the recording venue or even the dry, intimate acoustic of many pop/rock studio recordings. | |

The Opie Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of version 1.2 of the Open Palmtop Integrated Environment, the second major release of the user environment and application suite for portable devices running Linux.

The FCC has adopted rules reached between the cable and consumer electronics industries that will help smooth the transition to DTV for millions of Americans. These "plug-and-play" rules will ensure that most cable systems are compatible with DTV receivers and related consumer electronics equipment. This is crucial toward building products, developing services and maintaining a market-friendly environment for HDTV. The cable plug-and-play rules are important to the DTV transition because they will facilitate the direct connection of digital navigation devices or customer premises equipment, such as television receivers, set-top boxes, and digital recorders that are purchased from retail outlets to cable television systems. | |

Receivers and preamp/processors typically have two settings for your speakers: "small" and "large." You need to get past what these words actually mean in English, as they are a very poor choice for this feature of a processor. This setting actually has nothing to do with the size of the speakers, and everything to do with the range of the speakers. This setting determines when low frequencies are diverted from your front speakers and into your subwoofer (the crossover frequency). In other words, it has a tremendous effect on the bass you'll hear in movie soundtracks. | |

Notify Announces Enhanced Enterprise Mobility Solution For Novell GroupWise Users |
|
Notify Technology Corporation today announced at Novell's BrainShare Conference 2005 that it has enhanced its current NotifyLink Enterprise Edition for GroupWise product to support both wired and wireless mobile devices. For the past two years, Notify has released products focused on providing the best "wireless" synchronization of email, calendar, contact, and task information aspect of GroupWise mobility. At the same time, Notify recognized that there are numerous users who have Palm and Windows Mobile devices with no wireless connection that represent a large segment of the GroupWise mobility market as they continue to use a "wired" Palm or Windows Mobile device. The term "wired" implies that a non-wireless Palm or Windows Mobile device is utilizing a cradle or some form of cable connection to synchronize email, calendar, contact, and task information in conjunction with the user's desktop PC. Novell GroupWise organizations have been faced with using two separate solutions for synchronizing email, calendar, contacts, and task information for wireless devices and for wired devices. With today's announcement, Notify can now provide Novell GroupWise organizations with a single enterprise mobility solution for both wired and wireless devices for email, calendar, contact, and task synchronization thus eliminating the need for multiple solutions. | |

"With even simple home theater systems now needing universal remotes [Hack #84] and calibration to perform well, a lot of well-meaning folks have passed around some home theater myths, or at best, misunderstandings. One of these is that you need to burn-in your equipment. Burn-in is a term used to refer to running your gear for some arbitrary length of time, usually several hours, to help it perform properly. You'll most commonly hear about burnin when talking about speakers, which often can benefit from this sort of treatment. " | |
"One of the religious differences between TiVo and ReplayTV owners is how they fast forward through commercials. While TiVo's Fast Forward button will get you through those intrusive breaks soon enough, it requires some trained skill to manipulate those Fast Forward and Play buttons while keeping a keen eye and trusting your instincts to anticipate the end of the commercials. ReplayTV, on the other hand, has a "30-second skip" button, timed specifically for skipping through commercials. Since television commercials are traditionally a multiple of 30 seconds long, ReplayTV owners just hit the "30-second skip" button three to five times to render commercials only a minor annoyance.
