I'll probably save your life one day...
Such a great game, could benefit so much from singleplayer mods and tweaks.
Whoever made this poll really has a good understanding of the basic structure of the world. HINT: seasons are different on either side of the equator, not the meridian, which has no real function geographically, and was only created for political reasons.
Go then, I got the PM saying it was going to be archived, but go all you like. I don't need it for the time being.
Bots crash the game.XD
Either way, if I can find someone to program them, or if I somehow aquire AI coding skills, I'll include bots. But don't ever count on it.
I'm pretty sure they get both. That's what it seemed to me, anyway, I'm not sure either way, there seems to be some confusion on the issue.:D
Just found this one. I like the look of it. The NS community is indeed an awesome one.
If I recall correctly, a VALVe employee mentioned he would love to work on a mod that featured Lhamarr (or whatever). Maybe if your single player sotryline could include that, you would get a really awesome developer to work for you.
It's been archived already. It's cool, it's not active at the moment, I'll get someone to delete it later. Cheers.
So, so sexy.
Nice stuff. Lovin' the Lego AK-47.
Beuno Mafioso! Io parlo Italiano.
I look forward to seeing what Natural Selection 2 can deliver.
It was the battle for Vietnam. The battle for Vietnam. The Battlefied: Vietnam. Should be a lot of fun!
Finished mod. As well as social life.
As I posted, I was wondering if you'd take it personally. It wasn't meant as such. I personally couldn't give a flying whatever whether you change your name, and I know it isn't for reasons to escape your reputation, because, after all... why would you? You had a good reputation around here for helping people.
I know. I've seen a couple of posts that talk about some arrogant otaku names Karuto, so I figured you'd changed your name.
Congratulations on the award!
Great to see some updates!
This mod is unreal! Get it! :P
Pure legend.
Why would there be crates there?
Very funny stuff. A definite worthwhile read! XD
A very valid point, Betelgeuze, try tellin' that to Freelancer. :P
Fair enough, too. Good luck.
To quote Sticky... M-M-M-M-Monster Dis.
Great stuff.
Very artistic screenshot.
Voted. Only because Wraiyth is so sexy. It's the sex appeal, that's why folk love this mod.
...And damned if she ain't sexy, either.
Looking farking amazing!
Amazing looking.
Lookin' good.
Go Hammy-bob mod!! XD
LAST EXAM TOMORROW! NEVER HAVE TO THINK ABOUT MATHS OR FRENCH EVER AGAIN! I think that warrented capslock.
Lovely, lovely.
Damn beautiful.
Looks amazing!
Looking good.
Good one, one of the few engines which seem capable of this.
Nah, his name is Claude Speed.
Another winner. Is that dynamic shadowing? Wraiyth, is it?
Dude, I'm not the guy who runs the mod, I'm just a forum moderator. Try finding the people who run the mod.
The Gyanon Sexbows more like. :D
I think my love for KKND2 eclipses my hate for remakes.
Hey, good to have you guys around. Would you mind doing an interview sometime?
Good stuff! Shotgun review!
Bravery is not a function of firepower. Right, Paul?
Nice to be politcally correct. X)
Looks like fun. I'll show my flatmate's boyfriend. He loves D2.
My gosh, that's amazing! OH WAIT, IT'S ALSO ILLEGAL COPYRIGHT VIOLATION!
The minerals look hot, if a little tiberium-esque.
Looking great.
Good going!
Yay! I got a mention in an awesome newspost. Thanks also to Ippo and Joe for the award, but congratulations to you guys. I can't wait for the standalone. I'll PM you guys about preview/review possibilities, if you're interested. Cheers.
Creepy. I LIKE!
I love it, evcen the PC version.
Sweetness. SWEETNESS! :O
I like the models.
Looking amazing! I like it a LOT!!
Tamriel Rebuilt looks awesome!
It is with some tristese I read this post.
Damn amazing. New ingame shots look awesome.
Fecking amazing!
Looking fantastic!
Hmm.. a lurker.0_o
I can't believe it took me this long to find HL2: Co-op. After so long searching, too.
Your art is very nice. Expect a PM from me at a later date. I love being cryptic.XD
Vey nice looking.
I'll check it out.
Just like to say I agree with you to a certain extent about Half-Life 2. I mean, it's a great game, fun and has a great storyline (albiet with terrible characterisation), but I'm shocked about how worshiped VALVe are at the moment.
I'm glad you guys are getting published, and I'm glad it's for free. Good on you!
I can't believe you liked Riddick so much. Got mediocre?
Good stuff. I'm gonna buy the battlechest soon, so I might do a review on this baby.
1337 image.
Lots of fun. I recommend people get in there, the community is very welcoming. :D
Looking fantastic.
That's just the skybox. The rest is, well, black.
Holy feckin' jeebus! They be some impressive screens.
^^You're right dude. The models and art look greap for the engine.
Innovative crash protection. I like it.
Too bright. Apart from that, it looks nice.
MAN TITTIES! Chicks can't kill zombies, it's fact. Either way, a damn hot wallpaper. The shadows are mighty fine.
Umm.. I guess so. I don't run the forums though. Try asking ShortCutMan, he is the king of the forums.
Looking good, a nice TA based spamfest!XD
OMG I :wub: j00!
Yeah, apparently the metrocop holds the baton better, so I might update it with that. However, that rebel chick is just fecking retarded. I'll try to find a rebel-esque person that can actually hold a freaking baton. I only saw the lameness after the upload.XD
I'd love to see that image in high-res.
Nice concept! I think it actually gives more options that Deus Ex's HUD, without being cluttered.
Very nice.
I just wanna say I love your siganture. It's all like "Soylent Green is people!!!" and WTFSTUNOOB!!!11
Just a note to kcorb, the purpose of a review isn't to bring more people to the review's subject, it's to guage the good and bad sides of the subject, so that consumers can make an educated decision before consuming it.
I ain't seen any evidence of that claim. However, I'm waiting. And I'm hoping. God damn, I'm hoping.
It's god! OMFG, run for cover!!1
How are you a mod member, and not part of any mods? OMFG MODDB STUFF UP!XD
Looks great. Blender needed something like this. I can't wait for the Windows binaries.
UnWheel rocks my boat so hard I almost but didn't quite fall out. I just wanna say I've had more fun with UnWheel than any other Unreal gametime - ever.:D
UnWheel is teh secks.
We still LAN it up with some UnWheel more than any other Unreal 2004 mod.XD
In Soviet Russia, smegma eats YOU!!
Looks great.
Sounds awesome. While you don't always seem like you realise it (;)), your mod is one of the most polished and full of content around.XD
That's pretty cool. I could get used to the reactive shielding.
That is one nice car. Best looking car skinned I've seen in a Half-Life 2 mod, excepting maybe DIPRIP!
Nice going, it looks great!
Whistle worthy sexiness.
Absence looks great!
Sounds nice. The levels look a tad bland, but I'm sure that will change over time.
Looking amazing. I like the GUI.
OMFG it's "elfs" not elves!
Nah, just jokin' with ya'll. Looking nice. Nice unit work.
No! It's ya ***'* ****! Wait, I'm not allowed to say that! Looking hot.
Oh my god, hotness. I wanna bang you!XD
Looking great!
Nice textures.
Another congratulations.XD
Looks amazing. Loving the texture work.
Looking nice. I shall download it when I get home.
Seconded. Looking great, by the way, DragonLord.
Woo! I've been waiting for this baby for some time. I love this mod, the most fun I've had with a mod since Natural Selection.
Soultistic eh?
Well, your avatar looks like Ippos's to me. I get confused. And you speak like Ippo. Kinda. AGHH!! Don't change it though, it looks cool. I guess I'll just have to learn to read names. XD
You are also Tasmanian. :D
I get called "meth", so I thought I'd pass on the abbreviation fun. "Meth" just either reminds me of methelated spirits, or crystal meth, as in methanphetamines, neither of which I particularly want to be associated with. "Gibs" is kinda nice though. Seeing as you presumably like zombie gametypes, and therefore giblets, I think it's fitting. ;)
Look great. I might just jump on that bandwagon and start playing now.XD
Looking great! Really nice menu.
Looking hot.
Void looks awesome! The first mod for Oblivion that has sparked my interest. Northlands hasn't really gone anywhere as fast as Void. Keep up the great work!
Sounds awesome. Going to my playlist.XD
Looks awesome. Now, if only I had Doom 3.
Funny that, your custom title seems so familiar!
Tour Black Mesa sounds rather fun, rather. XD
Mm. sexy
Are you sure that's realtime unreal engine? Man, you guys rock for adding this much **** to a non-source released engine.
Looking hot. Very nice model and skin.
Cool stuffs.
Nice renders. Man I'm bored. I'm idling Moddb.
7th Serpent seems pretty cool. I'll have to download it. Well done!! XD
Nice! Looking awesome, can't wait for release.
Damn, I thought those images were truly ingame. I guess it works as concept art?!
Awesome. Will kick arse anyway without the shadow code. I might wait before downloading it myself, but well done on an awesome job.
I love you!
Awesome. I look forward to seeing the game less laggy.
My King.
Suits me great. MINERVA for evermore!
I am liking the style of Iron Grip more and more every day.
Amazingly sexy.
Empires looks absolutely amazing.
Looking very nice.
I'm with LedKardova. Looking awesome, the best infact. but the blue glowing visor would be impractical when in warfare.
Very nice.
Looking great. Nice art.XD
Awesome atmosphere on the blue planet.
Very nice as usual. Great work. Woot for the study dwarven folk.
Very sexy. Good on your for bringing DoD: Source into the pacific.
Lookin' great!
Very nice looking, and good to see some uniquity in modding every now and again.
Awesome! Ingame! They look amazing. I can't wait to play!
I haven't had a chance to check it out yet (read: I'm lazy and playing Civ 4). I will now. Thanks Chop, nice review.
Very nice looking maps. :D
A kick arse tutorial. Well done!
Like Isaac Kliener, Dr. Isaac Kliener. Anyway, the point is, the resistance before the citadel blows up is documented in Half-Life 2 chapeters "Anticitizen One" and "Follow Freeman", if you want to further that, great! I fear, however, that you are going to work in after the citidel incitent, which would land you in Half-Life 2: Aftermath territory.
Wow, that's crazy work, who does the modeling and texturing for you?
They deserve a medal.
Yeah, I've noticed that (not you personally Koroshiya), people that speak English as a second language often speak better English than the AOL generation.
Anyway, back on topic, great looking mod! Perhaps the only Half-Life mod to contend with The Specialists for sheer shininess.
Very nice models. I hoep you transfer that quality and attention to detail into gameplay. Good luck.
As always, very nice. I truly look forward to the release.
Sadly, Postal 2 never made it to Australia. If it did, I would be exited though. :)
No-one Lives Forever was very, very cool. Great that someone is keeping the flame alive in true style. My respect.
very nice, looks like something in a new game. Great detail. And Deus Ex did rock!
First off, wow! This mod looked like nothing notable when you first posted on Gamedev.net and (shame) I may have even flamed you!!
It goes to show how wrong one can be. This mod looks to be intelligent and unique. Good luck with everything and I love the idea. This is a mod not only to watch, but to watch and whine until it is released.
/me :wub:s BrainBread.
Sounds a lot like Savage. I don't like the description, it doesn't seem very professional. Anyway, dno't make the mistake Savage made of making resource gathering a task that had to be completed by players. make it an automated task or NPC only.
Good luck with AoC, if you need design work, give me a buzz.
translates to: "wow, nice detail!"
A very useful tutorial, I havn't tried it out yet, but it makes sense and will be awsome for my RTS half-lief 2 mod. Is there a way to make it so that you don't have to turn sv_cheats on for this to work. Would I need to put a function in all my levels that does this or can I merely detroy the
"static ConVar cam_command( "cam_command", "0", FCVAR_CHEAT | FCVAR_ARCHIVE ); // tells camera to go to thirdperson" line of code??
Thanks again.
Me gets it to.
Meh, quite a nice idea, I certanly think it ads a level of believability to the uniform, though something more extreme would probably be more realistic.
They're mainly just there to show the interface and idle stunstick. The current maps all suck. The contrast needs to be shown as well.:D
Grats on second dot.
ur a dikkhed lol!
Nah, I'm serious, you suck.
Sexy. I also like the name.
I can now actually say it. Iron Grip ROCKS!!
OMG!!1 So, you propose that you are indeed the legendary roundhouse artiste that goes by the name of Chuck Norris. I mod for Chuck. He is my king.
Yes, looking good though. And I guess that helps. :)
The record apprears to be broken. The record apprears to be broken. The record apprears to be broken. The record apprears to be broken. The record apprears to be broken. The record apprears to be broken.
Yeah, something about that game description made me do that.
Good going. Mod Toaster is pretty cool, and it helps that Isotx develops both Mod Toaster and MidEast Crisis. ;)
BK = Burger King!
Nope, I honestly think this is an ingorant mod. Honestly, do people think that "terrorists" would call themselves the "United Terrorist Coalition". Get some social awereness or please post again saying it is one big joke.
You do, you're just lying to yourself. Objectively, your profile picture is funnier though.XD
They aren't half bad!XD
I look forward to seeing more information about Dire in the future.
Why is the art for this game always so damn good? Nice going guys, your news is always good news. :D
What a way to go.
Aww.. I'm sure Mr. Kadish's ego loves you.XD
Anyway, you're right. This and killing floor seem to be the zombie mods for UT2004.
Totally awesome as usual. It looks fantastic, I love the colours, the style: everything.
Nice tutorial.
Thanks to some help from Wraiyth, it's working again.

I traded in a shorty- black hide that started tearing at the edges for this helmet and now soft rubber-like coating on tis one deteriorated into a sticky coating, like tape adhesive. I still like the helmet but still trying to find the right stuff to remove the goop.

The Kitchen Designer has come through again with some great tips for preparing your kitchen to show during an open house. It takes more than just wiping down the counters and clearing the sink.
Here are the first 10.
* When showing your home, turn on all the lights in the kitchen
* Clean the windows inside and out as well as window treatments if necessary
* Declutter your counters. I'll say it again. Declutter your counters!
* Clean and organize the interiors of your cabinets – people will look inside
* Pay particular attention to organizing a food/pantry cabinet – this can look surprisingly good if shapes and sizes are arranged well
* Clean your floors
* Do touch ups wherever you can – walls, floors, cabinets, etc.
* Declutter your collections. Again…declutter your collections!
* After decluttering counters and collections, take a fresh look and add in a very few items if desired. Those items should be proportionate to the space. Do not put a small item on top of cabinets, use a larger item for better balance and proportion
* Make sure your picture(s) of the kitchen includes a wide angle shot and the kitchen is neat and decluttered
And click here for the full list.

Nice place, awesome view and spacious rooms, but because of the tiles in the whole hostel very noisy. Showers have weird low windows and people outside can SEE you when you're taking a shower. I had a private ensuite room and the shower was cold.Read More

The Sixth Flag Launches a Highly Secure Desktop As A Service for the Enterprise
Raleigh, N.C. – March 25, 2015 – The Sixth Flag, Inc. (TSF), an emerging new technology firm, today released its web-based, HTML-rendered Desktop-as-a-Service that requires no dedicated hardware. The offering provides a unique solution specifically designed to address the increasing challenges faced by today's distributed workforce. With nothing more than a browser, users can access their cloud-based corporate desktop, whether from a laptop, PC desktop or tablet. Because user data is not stored on the local device, loss of a device does not represent compromised sensitive company data.
According to Pete Kofod, co-founder and CEO at TSF, "Our solution targets mobile users, contract, seasonal and temporary personnel as well as select employees that are targeted for corporate espionage."
"Taken together, those groups of corporate technology users consume disproportionate resources to prevent security breaches and mitigate data risk. When you include the compliance requirements and capital costs associated with asset management, organizations of all sizes face serious challenges when dealing with the complexities of managing the desktops of a globally distributed work force."
"The prevailing 'solutions' today are limited to one-offs," Kofod explains. "Corporate technology departments need to be flexible in resource allocation, yet a significant part of the overall budget is the capital outlay towards corporate desktops, forcing IT staff to continuously support one-off solutions for these emerging requirements, which are neither practical nor cost effective."
Unlike other vendors offering Desktop-as-a-Service solutions, The Sixth Flag is specifically designed to serve the remote enterprise user. "What we do is pretty straight forward," Kofod continues. "we offer secure, easy-to-manage desktops to remote users without breaking the bank."
According to David Kinghorn, co-founder and chief technology officer, by using TSF's solution, organizations can manage the configuration and software installed on the desktop, including popular office productivity and line of business applications. TSF supports a complete Microsoft-based desktop user experience, including print and file management and more.
"With our offering, all you need is a current web browser," he says. "This includes all desktops as well as tablets, because we do not rely on any plugin or download."
At the end of every computing session, all user information is encrypted, stored and the desktop is, in effect, destroyed. Subsequently, every time a user logs in, they receive a fresh desktop with their data and settings intact. Kinghorn points out that any persistent threat that has found its way on to the desktop is deleted along with the desktop at the session's end.
Exclusive to the TSF offering is a patent-pending "watermark" function. The unique pattern is overlaid on the screen session, discouraging users from leaking sensitive data by photographing or capturing desktop screen shots. "We received requests for this feature from firms that have been significantly harmed by unauthorized leaks," says Kofod.
TSF supports Active Directory authentication. System administrators can implement traditional desktop group policies. Additionally, the administrators can also restrict uploads/downloads, Internet access, printing, copy and paste, as well as other functions using the TSF administrative console.
In its most restrictive configuration, TSF is comparable to a "clean room" in biotech. What happens on that desktop cannot leave. It can't be sent via email or saved to cloud-based file storage.
"When high-risk groups collaborate using The Sixth Flag, they are in essence fenced off, without any meaningful drop-off in productivity," he says. "Even if they pick up malware, it disappears when they sign off."
No capital investment or long-term commitment is required. From service costs, to desktop licensing, TSF rolls all those costs into a monthly fee. For organizations that have seasonal, temporary or contract workers, there is no need to make a long term investment to meet short term requirements.
With today's increasing demand for "bring your own device" (BYOD) working environments, IT departments face the challenge of maintaining internal controls through a standardized corporate platform. TSF enables full BYOD, eliminating the need to provide and manage end-user physical desktops, while facilitating standardization and significantly reducing capital expenditures on desktop hardware.
"Best of all," Shane Yocum, Vice President of Business Development notes, "TSF can be deployed for an organization in as little as 20 minutes. A recent use case is a customer wanting to set up a disaster recovery environment. There is no way to do that cost effectively using traditional DaaS licensing," he notes, "but we have a DR licensing model that allows organizations to maintain a Desktop DR environment very economically."
About The Sixth Flag, Inc.
The Sixth Flag Inc, is a Raleigh, North Carolina-based Desktop-as-a-Service firm for global teams and organizations in need of Remote Desktop Management solutions. Launched in 2015, TSF provides a web-based, cost effective and secure throw away desktop for today's global, mobile teams. Its cloud-based, HTML-rendered Desktop-as-a-Service requires no dedicated hardware, thereby eliminating the need for organizations to spend on capital outlay. With nothing more than a browser, users can access their corporate desktop from anywhere in the world, whether from a laptop, desktop, or tablet. Because user data is not stored on the local device, loss of a device does not represent compromise of sensitive organizational data. For more information, visit www.thesixthflag.com
Sengled Boost Reinvents the Light Bulb as a Wi-Fi Repeater
Atlanta, March 24, 2015 – Sengled, makers of intelligent lighting products that integrate consumer electronics with LED bulbs, today announced the release of the Sengled Boost, an LED light bulb with a built-in Wi-Fi signal repeater that can boost connectivity levels throughout the home. The first product of its kind offered at an affordable price, the Sengled Boost incorporates two antennas in each LED bulb, providing the connectivity levels users need to get a strong signal anywhere in the house and power devices throughout their connected homes.
"People typically have a single Wi-Fi transmitter in their home that provides a strong signal near the device, but signal performance diminishes the further you move away from the transmitter," said Johnson Shen, CEO of Sengled. "That's a problem if you're connecting in other rooms to use smartphones, tablets, gaming or entertainment consoles or any of the popular new home automation products since the signal may be obstructed by walls or objects or the device may be too far away to get a strong signal. Sengled Boost fits in standard lighting fixtures, which is a perfect solution since fixtures are typically mounted overhead and free from obstructions."
Sengled Boost not only strengthens Wi-Fi signals, it provides users with eco-friendly, energy efficient, long-lasting LED lighting that can be controlled from a free app via a smartphone or tablet. The app allows users to configure the Wi-Fi signal and control light levels. The Sengled Boost LED light bulb doesn't have to be turned on to boost the Wi-Fi – the light can be dimmed or turned off while the Wi-Fi signal boost function continues, making Sengled Boost perfect for connecting devices in any room – day or night. Once configured, Sengled Boost saves the setup information so users don't have to setup a new connection for each use.
Using Sengled Boost is a great way to de-clutter the home with a wireless Wi-Fi booster that enables users to seamlessly access a strong signal and maximize the value of the technology they use every day. And since Sengled Boost LED bulbs come in a variety of sizes to fit most light fixtures, they can wireless strengthen Wi-Fi signals in virtually any home.
Sengled Boost is another bright idea from Sengled, the company that reinvents the light bulb by combining it with the consumer electronics that make modern life better. To learn more about Sengled and Sengled Boost, please visit www.sengled.com.
About Sengled
Sengled is a global innovator in LED lighting, pioneering research and development that brings bright new ideas to smart lighting. By integrating consumer electronics with energy-saving LED bulbs, Sengled provides consumers with app controlled, intuitive, eco-friendly products that bring smart home capabilities to every room enhancing the connected home with technology for entertainment, utility and security.
Using an MSP is not the same as outsourcing
There is a common misconception circulating that using a managed service provider (MSP) is outsourcing. It isn't. A good working definition of outsourcing is, "To surrender an aspect of your company's functionality to a third party." For example, if you hire an outside firm to take care of your computer support, you have outsourced computer support because no one in your company participates in that activity.
However, MSPs do share some common benefits with outsourcing, so the confusion is understandable. Some of the shared benefits are:
- Cost savings
- Ability to focus on core business
- More competitive
- Faster expansion
The most often quoted reason for using an MSP or outsourcing is to "save money." Using a third party for certain types of work does lead to some cost savings because you have fewer employees, you don't purchase hardware, you don't pay for power, and you don't have to worry about physical security of purchased assets.
Outsourcing [from Wikipedia]
In business, outsourcing involves the contracting out of a business process to another party (compare business process outsourcing). The term "outsourcing" dates back to at least 1981. Outsourcing sometimes involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another, but not always. Outsourcing is also the practice of handing over control of public services to for-profit corporations.
Products and services purchased from third party vendors allow you to focus on your core business, which is probably not maintaining and supporting racks of servers, network equipment, and patching operating systems and applications. You can focus more on manufacturing, selling, and marketing your actual products and services. Unless you're in the IT business, using a third party vendor makes sense.
You can be more competitive in the market by concentrating your resources on your priorities, your research, your development, and your competition. Global markets change rapidly. Business requirements change rapidly. And your business must change rapidly too. To change with business tides, your business needs to be as agile and as lean as possible. MSPs and outsourcing make this agility possible.
Now, that you have a feel for how MSPs and outsourcing are similar, it's time to explore the differences so that you can clearly see that using an MSP is not outsourcing.
The features that differentiate MSPs from outsourcing
- Control
- Fixed costs
- Pay-as-you-go/grow
- Extension of your business
- Increased flexibility
Outsourcing is a release of control, whereas an MSP allows you to exert a great deal of control over your leased infrastructure and services. Control is one of the major benefits of using an MSP over outsourcing. If you require too much control, outsourcing becomes cumbersome and the trend toward bringing the work back in-house is usually the next step in regaining control. The reason is that exerting control over a third party service or personnel is very difficult to do in that the personnel performing the work are not your employees and therefore you have little enforceable control over them.
Outsourcing usually affords you a set of services for an amount of labor. Depending on the contract that you have with the outsourcing company, you might never know what your monthly charges are going to be due to changing needs. For example, if you outsource your desktop support, then you're charged an hourly rate based on the visits and work performed by the outsourcing company's employees. There's no way to predict from one month to the next how much service you'll need. MSPs charge a subscription that changes only when you add or remove services or products from your inventory. You can predict what your fees will be for the foreseeable future.
Having a fixed set of costs also allows you to plan for growth in your projects and in your budget predictions. It's easier to plan your business needs around these fixed costs and pay as you grow. The pay-as-you-go/grow plan is exciting for businesses because it allows you to better manage growth and to expand when ready.
An MSP is an extension of your business, not simply a service that you call on an as-needed basis. The MSP is always there, working in the background to maintain your systems, to keep its service levels high, and to retain your business. The MSP's success is tied directly to your success and its ability to perform helps your business to succeed. The MSP and your business are not mutually exclusive to one another. The relationship is a symbiotic one where both parties benefit from the other's successes.
Finally, the MSP is highly flexible. You can augment your in-house infrastructure by using the MSP as a disaster recovery setup and you can phase in its use as your internal systems go off lease or are ready for a refresh. The MSP is there and ready to take on your capacity at will in an on-demand fashion. When you're ready to go "all in," you can do so without hesitation. The MSP will also help with your transition by providing consulting and other services to make the move smooth and without significant downtime.
Using an MSP is not outsourcing. An MSP acts an extension of your business, allowing you to better manage your budget, to leverage a modern infrastructure, and to efficiently handle business expansion.

Is your company MSP material?
If you think that your company has what it takes to become a managed service provider (MSP), then you should consider it as a business growth option. Not only can you generate recurring revenue from getting involved in the MSP channel and the "As a Service" business model, but you can also grow your business toward the future. "Remain flexible" and "create strategic partnerships that benefit you and your customers" are the best advice tidbits gleaned from listening to experienced MSP CXOs.
Although not always the case, most businesses that transition into the MSP business do so because they already offer direct managed services to their customers. And those who already provide a service are considering or are working toward providing more services, mostly as a result of customer needs. Many MSP customers or potential MSP customers all report the same three primary pain points:
- A desire to offload infrastructure management
- A need to maintain a predictable technology budget
- A requirement to respond quickly to changing business needs
A managed service provider (MSP) delivers network, application, system and e-management services across a network to multiple enterprises, using a "pay as you go" pricing model. A "pure play" MSP focuses on management services as its core offering. In addition, the MSP market includes offerings from other providers — including application service providers (ASPs), Web hosting companies and network service providers (NSPs) — that supplement their traditional offerings with management services.
A potential MSP needs to be mindful of two specific fears that businesses have when considering offloading their support to a third party: control–or lack thereof and response time. Anyone who's ever dealt with third party vendors can testify that response is often lackluster and sometimes downright inexcusable.
To alleviate those fears, you have to ask yourself two questions before you decide to become an MSP:
Does your staff possess the desire and ability to respond quickly to customer needs?
Do you plan to allow the customer to exert a moderate amount of control over his or her environment?
If you can't answer a confident "Yes" to both questions, you need to reconsider your choice to become an MSP.
Having stated that, you can train and motivate your employees and you can make the decision to allow the customer a moderate amount of control. The company that you choose as your upstream partner has a lot to do with how successful you'll be, so choose carefully and thoughtfully.
You should also consider how you're going to meet service level agreements (SLAs) with your customers. Regardless of what your contracts state, customers expect 100 percent availability from you. To meet those expectations and SLAs, you have to purchase reliable hardware and software, you have to provide outstanding customer service, you have to backup customer data, and you have to provide monitoring and alerting services. If you fail to provide any one of those major cornerstone services to your customers, your business will likely also fail. Remember the number one rule of customer feedback: If you make a customer happy, that customer might tell one other person, but if you make a customer unhappy, that customer will tell everyone. And these days with rating services, online feedback forums, and social media, your business is only a few negative tweets or one star reviews away from failure.
In the MSP business, customers assume that you have excellent, redundant, unbreakable systems underlying your services, but what they're really after is a competitive price point and top notch customer service. They also want a fair amount of control over their leased infrastructure. What's that old saying? Build a better MouSetraP and the world will be a path to your door. Count on it.

Where to buy Asian pear combination around NY?

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy an Asian Pear tree (the ones with several kinds on 1 tree) around NYC or NY or in the Northeast region. I really would like a tree from a store rather than a mail ordered tree. Can anyone recommend me a nursery or store in the Northeast region? thank you.

A friend recently delivered a 50 gallon stainless steel hot water tank used in a local food production facility. Said friend just happens to be the individual who fastens, manufactures, alters this stainless steel to food grade standards. He claims he can turn it into pretty much anything I need it to be.
So I am asking anyone willing to offer suggestions.... How should I use this... Mash tun? Lauter tun? Brew kettle? And how should it be fashioned?
Lastly.... It is quite likely he can get me more.
Thank you, in advance!
Maybe you can put some kind of screen in the bottom and use it as a lauter tun and sparge basin? And if youre getting more then how about a brew tank?
Pretty clear there's a lot more going on there than "water tank", what with the jacketing and all. Which actually cuts down the utility of that huge chunk of stainless.
Wonder what the scrap value would be?
Nope.... That's all that has ever been in it. Hot water. Not sure its specific use. That is also all he paid for it... scrap prices... Not even stainless steel scrap because this factory throws all of its metal together instead of separating. In exchange? "Ahh... I'll just take a few beers from time to time". Deal!
As I originally stated, he can alter it an any way.
Clearly though, your vote is that it's useless?
The presence of the jacket makes me think trying to transform that beast into anything I could see in my own brewery would be a costly pita...

An automatic back-up circuitry for use with a memory circuit or the like including a switch transistor adapted to turn on in response to the application of an operative current and conduct it to the memory circuit, said transistor being also adapted to turn off when the application of the main operative current to said transistor is release, whereupon the back-up voltage is applied to the path between the transistor and the memory circuit.
1. An automatic back-up circuit for use with a main power supply for a memory circuit or the like comprising: a switching mode transistor connected between said main power supply and said memory circuit, means biasing said transistor to turn on when said transistor receives an operative current from said main power supply and means coupled to the path between said transistor and said memory circuit for connecting a back-up voltage to said memory circuit in response to turning off of said transistor.
2. An automatic back-up circuitry as claimed in claim 1 wherein said biasing means comprises a biasing resistor coupled to the base of said switching mode transistor and providing a base bias for saturating said transistor when said transistor receives the operative current from said main power supply.
3. An automatic back-up circuit for use in an electronic device including a main power supply, utilization circuits, at least one memory circuit, and a power on-off switch coupled intermediate said main power supply and both said utilization circuits and said at least one memory circuit, said automatic back-up circuit comprising: a back-up power supply coupled in circuit with said at least one memory circuit, a switching mode transistor coupled intermediate said at least one memory circuit and both said on/off switch and said back-up power supply; and biasing means coupled to said switching mode transistor; said biasing means being responsive to closing of said on-off switch for biasing said switching mode transistor into saturation to couple said main power supply to said at least one memory circuit and further responsive to opening of said on-off switch for turning off said switching mode transistor to thereby disconnect said main power supply from said memory circuit.
4. An automatic back-up circuit according to claim 3 and further including unidirectional current conducting means coupled intermediate said back-up power supply and both said switching mode transistor and said at least one memory circuit, said unidirectional current conducting means being responsive to said turning off of said transistor for coupling said back-up supply to said memory circuit.
5. An automatic back-up circuit in accordance with claim 3 wherein said switching mode transistor comprises a collector-emitter junction coupled in series intermediate said on-off switch and said at least one memory circuit, and a base electrode; and wherein said biasing means comprises a biasing resistor coupled to said base electrode for biasing said switching mode transistor into saturation in response to closing of said on-off switch.
6. An automatic back-up circuit in accordance with claim 5 wherein said switching mode transistor comprises a PNP transistor having a collector electrode coupled with said at least one memory circuit and an emitter electrode coupled with said on-off switch.
This invention relates to a transistor switch circuit. More particularly, it relates to an automatic back-up circuit for memory or CPU circuits using the transistor switch circuit.
The memory circuit or CPU circuit usually needs to be driven by the back-up current for holding memory contents therein after an operating power supply for the main circuitry including such memory circuit was made off. In general, a back-up power supply in the form of a battery is prepared so that it can supply the back-up current at the same time of the switching off of the main circuitry power supply. Furthermore, a diode is connected so as to stop the drawing of the back-up current into the other circuits of the main circuitry. This diode conducts the operating current from the main power supply to the memory IC.
In such prior art back-up circuit arrangement, such unidirectional diode provides considerable voltage drop (it is about 0.6 V with a silicon diode and 0.25 V with a germanium diode). Therefor, with respect to the power supply voltage, it needs to pre-consider a voltage corresponding to this voltage drop. Also, from the viewpoint of low power consumption, such circuit using the diode is not favorable.
Accordingly, the object of the invention is to provide a transistor switch circuit for use with the automatic back-up circuit wherein in place of the unidirectional diode a switching mode transistor is effectively used so that the voltage drop across the transistor becomes very low (under 0.1 V).
The other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description relating to the illustrated embodiment of the invention.
The single FIGURE shows a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the invention.
In the drawing, a memory or CPU circuit 10 and voltage utilization circuits 12, which may constitute a kind of electronic apparatus, are driven or operated by a main power supply 14 when a power ON-OFF switch 16 is closed. At that time, the memory or CPU circuit receives operating current from the main power supply 14 through the closed switch 16 and a transistor 18. The illustrated PNP transistor 18 has its base connected to one terminal of (a) biasing resistor 20 of which other terminal is grounded. When the switch 16 is closed and the emitter of the transistor 18 is coupled to the power supply 14, the current through the resistor 20 provides the base bias voltage of the transistor 18 whereby it is driven to its saturated condition.
When the switch 16 is opened, the transistor 18 turns off since the base bias voltage across the resistor 20 is removed. At the same time, back-up current from a back-up power supply 22 is applied to the memory circuit 10 through a unidirectional diode 24. This diode has its anode connected to the positive pole of the cell 22 and its cathode connected to the junction of the collector of the transistor 18 and the power input terminal of the circuit 10. In the embodiment, the voltage level of the main power supply 14 is 5 V, and that of the back-up battery 22 is 3.6 V. Therefore, when the main power supply 14 provides the operative current to the memory 10, the diode 24 inhibits any current flow from the battery 22. The back-up current from the battery 22 acts to hold the memory contents of the circuit after the main power supply 14 has made ineffective by the opening of the switch 16. Since the transistor switch 18 turns off, the back-up current does not flow into the other circuits 12. The diode 24 may be replaced with a charging resistor which acts to charge the battery 22 with the main operative current from the main power supply 14.

By Tom Breihan on July 6, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. EDT
Gravity the Seducer, the new album from British electro-pop quartet Ladytron, is coming September 13 in the U.S. and a day earlier in the UK, via Nettwerk. The group has already shared two tracks from the LP, "Ace of Hz" and "White Elephants", the latter of which will soon get its own video. Up above, listen to a third new one, "Ambulances". (That's the "Ambulances" single artwork above, btw.)
A week after the album drops, the group will head out on a North American tour. They've also got a few European dates coming up-- all their shows are listed below.

Ladytron: "White Elephant" (via SoundCloud)
On September 13 in the U.S. and a day before in the UK, Nettwerk will release British electronic pop stalwarts Ladytron's new album, Gravity the Seducer.

We have the tracklist for you below.

On September 13 in the U.S. and a day earlier in the UK, synthpop veterans Ladytron will release their new album Gravity the Seducer, the follow-up to 2008's Velocifero, via Nettwerk.

Video: Ladytron: "Ace of Hz"
By Larry Fitzmaurice on March 1, 2011 at 2:30 p.m. EST
Liverpool electronic pop outfit Ladytron have a career retrospective, Best of Ladytron: 00-10, due out March 29 via Nettwerk. The two-disc compilation includes new single "Ace of Hz" (that's the single's cover art above), which has an accompanying video now. In the clip, the band members elegantly pose and sing along to the pulsing song in an indoor setting filled with woodsy touches. The video opens with a fairly ominous egg, and at the end, you learn what is in the egg; it looks pretty weird (wait for it). Check out the clip below or over at Pitchfork.tv.
Ladytron Ready Career Retrospective
By Tom Breihan on February 1, 2011 at 9:05 a.m. EST
Liverpool electro group Ladytron formed in 1998, and they've somehow managed to sound stylish and forward-thinking for their entire existence, while many of their onetime electroclash peers have faded from memory. And now they're about to get their very own career retrospective.
On March 28 29, Nettwerk will release Best of Ladytron: 00-10, available in both a single disc and a double-CD expanded edition. Later in the year, the group also plans to release a brand new studio album, which leaves open the possibility that they'll release another best-of somewhere down the line.
Below, check out the Best Of tracklist, a sampler of tracks from the compilation, and the video for "Ghosts".

New Ladytron: "Ace of Hz"

Ladytron: "Ace of Hz":
On November 30, the long-running synthpop crew Ladytron will release "Ace of Hz", their first single in two years, via Nettwerk, and you can stream it above. The track also appears in the EA Sports soccer game FIFA 11.
Ladytron and the Faint to Tour Together
By Tom Breihan on February 12, 2009 at 7:30 a.m. EST
A few months back, we reported that the icily synthetic Liverpool quartet Ladytron, along with like-minded freeze-poppers Goldfrapp, might be working with Christina Aguilera on a forthcoming Xtina album. Well, Ladytron's label has confirmed that the group is, in fact, working with her on some songs, and I'm pretty amped at the prospect of an electro Aguilera.
Further evidence that 2002 will never die: This spring, Ladytron will tour North America with their compatriots in razor-sharp, tight-black-clothes cocaine synthpop, the Faint. The Omaha crew is one of the best live bands I've seen this decade: glammed-up mannequin types who still remember what it was like to play in hardcore bands and still throw themselves all over the stage with commendable abandon. So this is a good look for Ladytron, whose warmer, gloopier recent material should provide a nice ying to the Faint's yang.
When that's done, Ladytron will embark on a possibly even more appropriate jaunt: Opening for Depeche Mode in Eastern Europe!
On March 3, Nettwerk will release the Tomorrow EP digitally. It features six remixes of the title track, taken from last year's Velocifero.

Hunting habits of hawks
Hello, I'm new to backyard birding and when all the birds who had been eating from my feeders suddenly left for a few days (squirrels, too) it was suggested that they knew a hawk was nearby. We live in a fairly wooded neighborhood where houses sit on 1/3 acre lots and a lake is within 1/4 - 1/2 mile, surrounded by heavily wooded area where numerous birds live.
The only time we have seen a hawk (that appears to be young) is after dark while walking the dog. I thought I might have seen a bird larger than those that visit my feeders fly off with something in its talons one afternoon awhile back.
Do hawks hunt in the daytime or at night? Do they perch and wait for prey or soar above and area first? Is it true that if I place my feeders under a tall tree with a large canopy that hawks will have more trouble spotting it?
Thanks for any information you can give me.
All hawks hunt in the daytime but will use the subdued evening light for cover when pursuing prey. Different hawks use different hunting tactics- depending on the their habitat and prey that is available. Buteos like the red-tailed hawk will soar on thermals to search for small mammals or they will sit in a tree and watch for movement on the ground. These hawks are often seen perched in trees along roadsides. Accipters like the sharp-shinned and Cooper's hawks will actively pursue prey through the trees. These hawks prey mostly on songbirds and are the hawks one will most likely see coming to their bird feeders. As far as placing the feeders under the trees, it certainly can't hurt and birds do feel safer with the cover of trees nearby. It SHOULD make it more difficult for the hawks to spot them but there's no guarantee. Good luck to you!
Most of our birds have returned, but I think there is still a hawk around. We though we saw him fly low over the neighbors yard last week, late afternoon/early evening.
I half want to see it perched on a fence near enough for me to photograph it and half hope that it never returns.
hi uh i have a problem now as of last night i live in an apt and my living room window faces the woods my 2 african greys were in my window getting some fresh air.all of a sudden i seen two red tailed hawks swoop down and they hit my screen .i need some advice on what to do they love being in the window
Yikes! You are lucky the hawks didn't break the screen.
Can you put some sort of bars on the window to prevent a break-through if a hawk tries it again? There are "toddler guards" to keep children from falling out that could keep hawks from coming in.
The mesh wouldn't work - parrots would rip it to shreds.

PokerStars.com APPT to debut in New Zealand

This marks the first time PokerStars has ventured into New Zealand and, in all likelihood, the biggest poker tournament ever held in the country. APPT Auckland will, of course, take place in the largest city of New Zealand, known for its impressive Sky Tower, bustling night life, rugged coastline and temperate climate.
SSIGI asks governor to end net gambling ban
"The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative calls on Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear to support the regulation of Internet gambling as a way to protect Kentuckians and generate billions of dollars in new revenue, rather than seeking to prohibit the activity," said Jeffrey Sandman, spokesperson for SSIGI. Beshear and other elements of the Kentucky government have moved to seize 141 online gambling site domain names from sites they believe are illegally doing business in Kentucky. According to the law, the state has the right to seize and forfeit "gambling mechanisms" associated with illegal online gambling.

Kentucky judge mulls online gambling case
Online gambling is considered to be illegal in Kentucky, and the hearing today was about whether Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear has the right to seize and then obtain the forfeiture of 141 gambling Web site domain names that are accessible to Kentucky residents.

Kentucky forfeiture hearing issues multiply
The implications of the hearing seeking an order requiring these sites to forfeit their domain names to the state go far beyond the future of online gambling, raising significant questions regarding the future of all Internet commerce and how it may be regulated or controlled by the government. Nearly every major online gambling company is expected to be in attendance at Tuesday's hearing.
