Tag: frac
Function: Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions. The user enters 3/4 in a recipe and gets the threequarters fraction.
Standard Ligatures
Tag: liga
Function: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph which is preferred for typographic purposes. This feature covers the ligatures which the designer/manufacturer judges should be used in normal conditions. The glyph for ffl replaces the sequence of glyphs f f l.
Tag: ordn
Function: Replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms for use after figures. One exception to the follows-a-figure rule is the numero character (U+2116), which is actually a ligature substitution, but is best accessed through this feature. The user applies this feature to turn 2.o into 2.o (abbreviation for secundo).
Tag: sups
Function: Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with superior figures (primarily for footnote indication), and replaces lowercase letters with superior letters (primarily for abbreviated French titles). The application can use this feature to automatically access the superior figures (more legible than scaled figures) for footnotes, or the user can apply it to Mssr to get the classic form.

"Love these clippers"
I have had these clippers for almost ten years. I love them, they are well worth the investment. I have used them on my horses and even clip my dogs in the summer. They are so quiet and convenient.
"Clippers are the best"
A clipper service I have used stated these were the only clippers worth buying or getting fixed if they did develop a problem. I keep a spare set to take to shows for last minute touch ups. We clip multiple horses and these are the best.
"Love Love Love"
I've had these clippers for about 3 years and love them ! Perfect for shaving Dairy Goat Udders with a 50 blade and dont have to deal with a cord. After using these I wouldnt use anything else.

In summary, it was an in-depth exercise in the use of Illustrator's "expand", "pathfinder" and "add/subtract point" functions.
How long did all that take you?
Re: pi
Glad you were able to edit the design! Really neat concept. Good luck!

Re: Life: Connected
Re: Green Dragon
Same issue as the other color of this design - It is very clearly not a single line, and therefore off-topic. The artist is just being ridiculous for resubmitting a different color.
This is outstanding, VERY well done. It's really almost hypnotic.
Re: Seahorse
Love seahorses! Would like it better with some waves or organic movement in the BG, but would buy as is.
Re: Piano Wire
I like the idea, but it might be more effective if the line zig-zagged on the white keys. As is, it's not really clear that this makes up piano keys.
Re: Endless Ocean
Nice! I like the simpler designs that show a picture and not too busy. GMV +1

I actually started down that road and felt it got a little "busy". I do agree that the white keys need to stand out more - may try again. Can a design be updated or do you have to resubmit?
superdooodle wrote:How long did all that take you?
It took me a few hours. I deal with insomnia on a semi-frequent basis, particularly during allergy season, so while I am awake it's more fun to work on design ideas (and more productive) than to try and become a Level 99 Night Elf Ranger in WoW...

Thanks! Your comment alerted me to the 2nd version, which I like better (though I'd buy this one if it won).
I don't mean to nitpick or insult the artist, but are the sharp lines around the clock and those that look similar, counted as the same line? Those seem to me like retracing the line or adding new lines. I like the shirt but it doesn't seem to comply with the one line rule.

No insult taken - see my comment from Aug 25, 2012 12:41 AM, above. Everywhere there is a "spike" or "sharp point", there is (on the other side of the line, right behind the "spike") a "negative spike" or "bump". I realize the anti-aliasing may blur it a little, but if you look closely at each spike, you should be able to see the bump behind it. This keeps it from 'retracing' itself...

Chinese news site iFeng shows numerous screens and display read, "Wang Peng ni mei" (王鹏你妹) or as ShanghaiIst explains: it's literally "Wang Peng, your sister", but that means something like, "Wang Peng, fuck you" in English. (It can also mean a slightly more lighthearted "Wang Peng, fuck off").
No wonder station employees scrambled to cover up the messages.
What isn't clear is why the monitor system was displaying this message. Did someone hack the system? Is this a disgruntled worker? Who is Wang Peng?

Drop the pen. Everybody knows no ink makes contact with a bracket sheet until Monday night at the earliest. Until it's deadline time, pencils are preferred.
Louisville is the top seed in the NCAA tournament after a topsy-turvy season in college basketball, capped by another round of upsets over the weekend.
WICHITA - This was supposed to be a rebuilding year at Wichita State.
Once Mark Few saw the names of Miami and Duke pop up as No. 2 seeds in other regions, the long-tenured Gonzaga coach knew there would be another first to check off for the 2013 season.
NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahoma's Lon Kruger has become the first coach in Division I history to guide five different programs to the NCAA tournament, landing the Sooners on the bracket Sunday as a No. 10 seed in the South Regional.
The South Region is a stew of coaches who have recently dominated the NCAA tournament.
DES MOINES, Iowa - Iowa State has earned a No. 10 seed in the NCAA tournament and will face Notre Dame in Dayton, Ohio, on Friday.
A look at the NCAA men's tournament, the 68-team free-for-all that begins Tuesday and ends three weeks from now at the Final Four in Atlanta:
MANHATTAN - Bruce Weber got what he wanted from the NCAA tournament selection committee.
LAWRENCE - Elijah Johnson is the first to admit there have been far more talented teams to play at Kansas, even in the four years he's been part of the program.
NEW ORLEANS - The season began with coach Bill Self telling Kansas faithful to chill out. It ended with the Jayhawks one game - really, one late run - from winning a national championship.
NEW ORLEANS - Kentucky's defense was so good it overcame its own offense.
NEW ORLEANS - Won and Done, indeed. Maybe even Over and Out.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Never mind that Anthony Davis couldn't score a lick.
LAWRENCE - Kansas fans in downtown Lawrence took their team's loss to Kentucky in stride Monday night as they poured onto Massachusetts Street amid random cries of "Rock Chalk Jayhawk," with many proclaiming their pride in a team that wasn't picked to finish in the top three in the Big 12 Conference.

Dodgers ahead of game on Opening Night vs. Padres
After jumping out to 2-0 mark in Australia, LA tabs Ryu against Cashner
Opening Night for the Padres at Petco Park comes with an unusual twist. Their familiar rivals to the north, the Dodgers, already have a lead in the National League West after taking a two-game series against the D-backs in Australia.
While the Padres open with their ace, young Andrew Cashner, the Dodgers are withholding theirs. Clayton Kershaw, characteristically masterful Down Under in the official Major League Baseball season opener last weekend, was scratched and placed on the disabled list with inflammation in his upper back.
Hyun-Jin Ryu, who also pitched superbly in Australia, will toe the rubber for the Dodgers now that he's comfortable on his right foot after the partial removal of a torn nail on the big toe. He passed his final test by completing a bullpen session on Friday.
Zack Greinke -- recovering from a right calf muscle strain -- is scheduled to go for the Dodgers in the second game of the series on Tuesday. Fellow right-handers Ian Kennedy and Tyson Ross will follow Cashner in the series for San Diego.
Apart from sharing the sun of Southern California, the Padres and Dodgers are completely different in most ways.
While the Dodgers' expectations are mountainous, the Padres' are at sea level. This can be a good thing for manager Bud Black and his club, providing freedom from the media glare that surrounds the high-profile division champs who fell two wins shy of the World Series last October.
The Padres are dangerous when they're running the bases with abandon and playing free. No team in the Majors has stolen as many bases as Black's outfit over the past four seasons. The leadoff catalyst is back in motion with the return of shortstop Everth Cabrera from his 50-game suspension for violating the MLB drug policy last year. Cabrera had an NL-high 44 steals in 2012 and 37 in 95 games in '13.
Critical to the Padres' fortunes are third baseman Chase Headley and left fielder Carlos Quentin and the authority they bring to the heart of the order. They have track records of big seasons when they stay on the field, but that's been the challenge.
And the Padres are facing their first hurdle of the new season after the team announced on Saturday that Quentin will open on the disabled list with a bruised left knee.
Quentin has battled a bone bruise since he jammed his left knee while making a diving catch in the outfield on March 16. The injury followed a string of three surgeries on his right knee in the last two years -- including a season-ending operation last September.
Headley, who strained his right calf on Feb. 22, has had a limited spring but is cleared to go. If he's back in 2012 form, when he led the NL in RBIs with 115 and was fifth in the Most Valuable Player balloting, Headley is a force from both sides of the plate.
Quentin, who produced 36 homers for the White Sox in 2008 and 50 combined in 2010-11, has been limited to 86 and 82 games in his two seasons with the Padres. His hometown team needs a full-time, full-service Quentin in support of Jedd Gyorko, Will Venable, Yonder Alonso, Chris Denorfia and Seth Smith.
Gyorko, under the national radar, had a higher slugging percentage (.444) than Dustin Pedroia and Ben Zobrist in a terrific rookie season, delivering 23 homers and 26 doubles.
"You get Everth Cabrera back at the top of the order," Black said, "we feel it's a good group. But we haven't had that group together for a lot of games. We like the names as they project on paper. But as you know, you can't play games on paper."
The Dodgers, who fell to the Cardinals in six in the NL Championship Series after knocking out the Braves in the Division Series, are not without issues and concerns with position players as they wait for the rotation to take shape.
Manager Don Mattingly and Co. are hoping Matt Kemp is able to bring his thunder to the heart of the lineup in his recovery from shoulder and ankle surgeries. Kemp would like to be back in center field for the home opener against the Giants on April 4.
It would be a big plus if shortstop Hanley Ramirez -- a lethal force last year after recovering from a fractured thumb -- can get through the season and Yasiel Puig can settle down and take full advantage of his dazzling skill set in right field.
Catcher A.J. Ellis and Adrian Gonzalez and Juan Uribe at the corners are consistently productive, and Dee Gordon had three hits, scoring twice, while leading off in his season debut at second in Australia. Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier add left-handed balance to the attack.
Mattingly's main concerns in Sydney were his bullpen, expected to be a strength with Brian Wilson and Kenley Jansen at the back end.
"We talked about this last year a lot; you don't play like this and win," Mattingly said, his relievers having struggled to protect a 7-0 lead in what became a 7-5 victory in the finale of the series. "You may win and get to the playoffs, but you don't win like this. This ends up getting us in trouble."
Black is confident in his staff, top to bottom, after a 16-11 September lifted the Padres to a third-place tie with the Giants in the division at 76-86 last season.
"The optimism really started last year in the second half when our starting pitching really started to show up," Black said. "You saw Andrew Cashner, you saw Tyson Ross, we traded for Ian Kennedy. You saw what we did collectively as a pitching staff. You add Josh Johnson to the mix, you add Joaquin Benoit, Alex Torres, and when you see who we have on the mound, it's exciting."
Johnson is expected to miss the opening month with a flexor strain in his forearm. Benoit and Torres, proven relievers, have joined a bullpen anchored by closer Huston Street.
The Dodgers took the season series, 11-8, in 2013. These clubs have a historically intense rivalry, underscored by the melee last April with Greinke and Quentin as the primary combatants after Quentin was hit by a pitch and charged the mound. Greinke suffered a broken left collarbone when he was tackled by Quentin, costing the pitcher five or six starts on his way to a 15-4 season.

Latest racing grudge fans passions
Bowyer, who is among the 13 drivers chosen this year to compete in NASCAR's Chase championship, has been at the center of controversy since he allegedly spun his car at a recent race in in Richmond, Va., a move that NASCAR officials said was a deliberate attempt to help a teammmate win points.
"He did it on purpose, and that taints the race. I was going to ask him about it here, but he didn't show up."
"What he did was a load of crap," Hunter said. "The thing that bothers me is that another driver (Martin Truex Jr.) didn't make the Chase because of it."
Most at FanFest said they would still watch the race, and some thought too much was being made of the incident, which caused NASCAR to impose penalties on the drivers and crews involved.
"NASCAR made a point to everybody with the penalties, no more horsing around," said Allan Machado of Concord. "To me, the story is over, time to move on."
"But it still bugs me, with all the cheating that goes on in other sports, it definitely taints this sport, and other drivers are hurt in the process."

It might have something to do with the fact that btrfs is *still* marked as having an unstable disk format in linux 3.0.
Phoronix: Btrfs Switch Postponed To Fedora 17
While it originally appeared that Fedora 16 would be the first major distribution (besides possibly counting MeeGo) to switch to Btrfs as the default Linux file-system, that's not going to happen. Fedora 16 will continue defaulting to EXT4 and it will not be until Fedora 17 now that Btrfs will be the Fedora file-system default...
It might have something to do with the fact that btrfs is *still* marked as having an unstable disk format in linux 3.0.
I've been using Btrfs for a while now (optional switch for openSUSE 11.4) and so far I have no regrets. Well, aside the fact that I can't set labels on my Btrfs drives.
I've been using btrfs on Fedora 15 (for my root partition, which I don't really care if I have to blow away at some point), and it's been okay, but....
They released a kernel update near the end of July. After installing and rebooting, the btrfs (and only btrfs) driver would crash about 30 seconds after booting, causing anything that touched the relevant partitions to hang. Luckily, I was able to boot up and type fast enough to switch grub back to booting an old kernel, but for a bit, I was thinking it was re-install time.
Someone on the Fedora bug tracker came up with a fix pretty speedily, but it still hasn't been pushed out to the updates as far as I can see. I can definitely understand them not wanting their default file system driver putting people into reinstall/rescue disk situations on routine updates.
I had a major headache trying btrfs in root partition with debian lenny (22.214.171.124). Dpkg was very slow (due to sync and fsync calls). I upgraded the kernel to 3.0.1 and the problem persists.
The biggest and most common concern I've noticed about making btrfs default is the lack of a working fsck tool.
Why dont you just rollback if your Linux upgrade breaks? Ive read that you can do that, from people here.
When you use ZFS and Solaris, every upgrade can be placed in its own separate snapshot. In GRUB you choose which snapshot you want to boot from. So if anything breaks, I just boot from the latest working snapshot, and delete the new failing snapshot. Then I am back to the state where I was before the upgrade. It takes just a reboot, and I type one command to destroy the new non working snapshot "# beadm destroy MyNewSnapshot". That is all. There is no need ever to reinstall Solaris using ZFS. Can you not do something like this, in BTRFS? I thought BTRFS also had snapshots?
I can't reliably use any btrfs rollback functionality if the btrfs driver is crashing within 30 seconds of boot (the boot partition isn't btrfs anyway, so I'm not sure how rollbacks work for that portion of the system; I don't think booting from btrfs is even an option at this point). Or at least, I'd have to boot using a working btrfs driver, at which point I've already fixed the problem, or could fix it by changing telling a different kernel to boot (if I had booted from a CD, for example).
I've heard that Fedora is supposed to have package manager support for snapshots in conjunction with btrfs, but I haven't really looked into it yet. And there's certainly no option by default to boot from a separate snapshot (and as I mentioned, the kernel can't even live on a btrfs partition for booting purposes).
Anyhow, I don't really know if Fedora fancies itself toward the casual user or Linux aficionado end of things (I just wanted to try out Gnome for a change, and Gnome 3 looked more appealing than Unity). If it's the former, sending people to a rescue disk after a routine update would be a pretty massive failure. I had enough experience to get myself out of the situation, but my parents (say) would probably have been left with a non-functioning computer.

I jetted on down to my local Sears to take advantage of the Father's day (6/11/2011) special on these wrenches. I picked up both metric and inch sets for $64.99 each. When I got home and removed them from the packaging, I was saddened to read "Made in Tiawan" on the package. I could tell by handling the wrenches that the USA quality was no longer there. Wake up Sears and realize Craftsman's biggest selling point is "Made in the USA". Without that, you're just another bargain brand!

The wrenches have decent ratcheting action but the flex head is sloppy and flops around. The chrome is finish is okay. This set doesn't compare to the USA made one

These are quality tools that are comparable to Gear Wrench, Today's quality tools come from Japan, Germany & Taiwan pretty much in that order. As noted by other reviewers this set is missing 1-2 must have sizes that should be included albeit for a higher price. The MIA 14mm wrench is my most missed size. They are not fine tooth & if I counted correctly they have approx a 36 tooth count. The full polish is flawless on my set but I think the handles could use to be slightly thicker around the middle for added strength. The locks all function smooth and should withstand moderate normal mechanic type abuse. I plan to use a cheap box end to break nuts loose and for final tightening to prevent premature failure. I have wanted these for awhile and missed out on the USA made set but am still glad I purchased them.

this set of flexible locking wrenches is a life saver. i have an old volkswagen and there are some bolts you just can not get to with any other wrench. i am thinking about getting a standard set as well.

I have been watching these for quite some time. I have wanted to get them ever since borrowing a friend's set. They are well made, and do the job. I recommend.

Hmmm, im not totally sold on this game. im not sure what type of game its trying to be? forza 4? midnight club? TD2? i ended up swapping it for the new NFS which is right up my street
Thanks to Final for the sick sig!

I understand where you are coming from. Don't get me wrong, I love the game and the features and look forward to playing more of it. Might end up being one of my favorite racing games, that is arcade style...though PGR still holds that candle for me. BUT, what is the game trying to be, that is a good question. The ONLY thing I am not liking right now is that it is indeed geared toward the younger generation with the OMG achievements, the storyline, and the menu/hud graphics, fonts and background beat.
But take away those, the actual game play is awesome.
Now, who was hanging out in $#@!ing stupid land when they decided to have dialog boxes pop up in the middle of the screen, at an angle.....but have the "skittle" buttons that you need to choose from for that dialog box down in the bottom lower left of the screen. Sometimes I sit there waiting, thinking it will go away. I don't realize it needs my interaction.
FAIL design there.

I'm really enjoying the rival races and the whole speed camera traps etc.
I really like the live integration it doesn't feel like a tack on rather it feels like an integrated part of the games that's seamless. Nothing like racing pasts a speed camera to be told you've just kicked rads butt.Last edited by mynd; 11-07-2012 at 18:23.

Ok guys...I am on a roll now. Been rockin' this campaign like it's nobody's business. Loving the game so far. Hating the UI, but loving the game. I got tired of the DJ too, and turned him off. Music was good for awhile, but now it repeats, so I have resorted to custom soundtracks, thank you very much!
I swear to god though, I can't figure out this damn barn thing

Thanks Rad! And thanks for adding the cars!
Well, I found a couple barns...but I can't figure out how to get to them with the fence in the way. AND I think I found one and drove up to it, ran into it, etc and nothing happens?

You can only go to them when they announce them in the radio, yup the one you switched off lol. I think it interrupts you any way and tells you. But basically if an area as a light grey circle on you map, there is a barn open. And if you can't get to a barn, it's likely not the barn you're looking for.

Nats trying to run gauntlet to make playoffs
Gio out to begin strong stretch run; Torres aiming to dash rivals' hopes
The Nationals are entering the final three weeks of the season still clinging to the hope they can stay in the race for a National League Wild Card spot. They would need teams like Cincinnati and Arizona to go on losing streaks. Even if that were to happen, Washington could only capitalize if it puts together a considerable winning streak.
In order to do that, the Nationals could certainly use some big starts from Gio Gonzalez down the stretch.
The left-hander will be on the mound on Monday when Washington starts a four-game series against the Mets at Citi Field. Carlos Torres, who has pitched well since taking over for Matt Harvey in the rotation, will be on the mound for New York.
Gonzalez is coming off a rough outing against the Phillies in which he allowed five runs (one earned) on five hits over 5 2/3 innings. He didn't have much help from his defense, though, as Washington committed three errors.
"Gio had a real rough start. He threw a lot of pitches," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said after that game. "He hung in there. [The fielders] were sloppy behind him. It's not the way you win pennants, I'll tell you that."
Just two starts ago, Gonzalez was dominant against the Marlins. He gave up only three hits over seven scoreless innings, while walking three and striking out eight. The Nationals could use more of those types of performances from Gonzalez in the final stretch of the season.
Torres, meanwhile, has given the Mets a couple of solid starts after taking over for the injured Harvey. In his last outing against the Braves, the right-hander allowed three runs on seven hits over seven innings. But he was shutting Atlanta out until the seventh, when he allowed all three runs.
"He's been pitching good," said Mets manager Terry Collins after the eventual 3-1 loss to the Braves. "Carlos, for the most part, has pitched very, very well for us. Even starting, he's really pitched good. He gave us a chance. We just couldn't put up any runs."
The Mets aren't in the playoff race, though, so Torres' performances are only giving New York hints about how they could use the right-hander next season.
Gonzalez, on the other hand, is going to look to keep Washington's postseason hopes alive.
Mets: Francisco back with Mets
• After having surgery in December to remove a bone spur from his right elbow, Frank Francisco has finally made it back to the Mets with about three weeks left to go in the season.
The Mets activated the right-hander from the 60-day disabled list on Saturday, and Francisco was back in uniform for their series finale against Cleveland on Sunday. It's been a rough road back to the big leagues for Francisco, who continued to experience soreness during his rehab process.
Once he was finally healthy enough to pitch regularly, Francisco went 0-2 with a 0.75 ERA in 12 regular-season Minor League rehab games with the Rookie League Gulf Coast Mets, Class A St. Lucie and Double-A Binghamton. Francisco also pitched two scoreless innings in two playoff games with Binghamton.
Collins said he doesn't expect to use Francisco in many save opportunities.
"I'll get him in there when I think he's got the opportunity to get some outs," Collins said. "He hasn't pitched back-to-back days, so that's probably something we'll have to be very careful of."
Francisco came into Sunday's game with one out and two runners on base in the eighth inning. He walked Yan Gomes, but then got Asdrubal Cabrera to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Francisco pitched in 48 games last season, and had 23 saves and a 5.53 ERA. The Mets signed the 33-year-old to a two-year, $12 million contract before the 2012 season.
• Harvey, who has a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, is still trying to decide whether or not he should have Tommy John surgery. He'll get a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews, likely in the coming week.
Nationals: Detwiler hopeful of returning this season
• Pitcher Ross Detwiler, who's been on the disabled list since July 4 with a herniated disk in his lower back, threw a 20-pitch bullpen session, as he looks to get back to the Nationals' rotation at some point this season.
"I think it's like at Spring Training, because I felt strong for all 20. But there's a reason they stopped me at 20," Detwiler said. "That was the plan going in. I think they know a little better about building people up than I do. If it was up to me, I would've gone until I couldn't stand up anymore and see where I'm at then."
The left-hander will throw another bullpen session on Wednesday in New York, and will throw 10 more pitches.
Detwiler was 2-7 with a 4.04 ERA in 13 starts with Washington before going on the disabled list.
Worth noting
• Denard Span went 1-for-5 on Sunday, and has now hit safely in a career-high 19 consecutive games. He's hitting .397 over that stretch.

Austria's Lucas Wimmer converted his Pole Position into a first victory in the KTM European Junior Cup after dominating Round 3 in Misano, San Marino.
The Austrian teenager was in blistering form the entire weekend and immediately shot his KTM 690 Duke out of the grid to claim the holeshot.
He quickly built up a commanding lead to win from a battling Christian Vidal of Spain and Australian Sepp Scarcella. The two riders trailed Wimmer and were locked together for the entire nine lap race with Vidal making the most of a small mistake from the Australian on the final turn.
Behind the podium finishers an intense battle of eight riders raged with Javi Orellana eventually securing a hard fought 4th from Jean Francois Demoulin and Italian Wildcard rider Federico Fazzina in 6th.
Kiwi Jake Lewis was 7th a fraction ahead of Stinius Viking Odegard and Brandon Kyee who took 9th three seconds ahead of Ilya Mikhalchik in tenth.
Artur Wielebski, Jamie Patterson and Gaston Garcia all fell, thankfully without injury.
In the Championship it is Spaniard Christian Vidal who now holds a slender 1 point advantage over Wimmer and the absent Adrian Pasek but with 10 points covering the top 9 riders in the standings as the series moves to Aragon the KTM European Junior Cup is wide open.
All competitors in the EJC ride KTM 690 Dukes in this competition in association with the World Superbike Championship.

My boys recently purchased one of these computers (New) from our local Wal-Mart. This is a bargain base computer that works well for internet browsing and what not. Not a bad computer for what you pay for it. After we got it all set up one of my boys started to play Minecraft and were not impressed with its video performance. Even after I tuned down the settings in Minecraft it was still not very good. Needless to say they wanted a new video card to place in it.
We searched and found a Diamond Radeon HD6450 video card, that should meet their needs, but requires 400 Watts to run correctly. The power supply in computer was only rated at 220 Watts, and is a slim design. The largest power supply we could find was 350 Watts. We purchased an Ultra 750 Watt power supply and decided to install the eMachines Motherboard, 1 Terabyte Hard drive and DVD drive into an older tower that I had sitting around. This is where I needed the technical documentation for the motherboard to ensure I connected everything up correctly.
Went to the eMachines' website and could find nothing. Chatted with their tech support (they were very prompt and friendly), but to no avail - nothing is available. What kind of computer company produces a computer and does not have any technical documents on it??? I was able to connect up the cables for the power switch and led, but need the pin outs to see if I can connect the reset switch, HDD indicator, speaker, Firewire and USB ports from the tower. The Technician said this would void the warranty, but it is a $200.00 dollar computer to begin with.
So... If you want a decent cheap computer, buy it, but if you want something more capable, spend the money and build or buy one. Most decent motherboard manufacturers offer documentation for their motherboards. I will build my next one from scratch.
IRVIN, CALIFORNIA -- This is by far the worst company ever. I got this computer for a present last February and am now having problem with the Windows installer and downloading .msi files. I called Microsoft and they told me that the Windows was purchased from eMachines and I have to talk to them. So I called eMachines and they told me that I would have to pay either a one time fee of 99.99 or a fee of 149 for a year of support. I just choose the 99 for a 72 hour tech support - that was yesterday.
I talked to a tech and the first thing they did was blame it on a corrupt file or link. We tried several different programs that were .msi format, one download out of 4 so he said that the others were bad. Really? Java is corrupt, Microsoft is corrupt?? So he proceeds and after the call I try downloading the program on another eMachines computer I have had for about three years. Lo and behold it downloads... those corrupt files... download no problem.
I called them this morning and they want me to pay them again. AGAIN? I happily reminded them that I have 72 hours with this one time payment I already paid. They put me on hold and never came back. I called again b*tching to the next person that answered and you know what her solution was?? System restore and recovery. Really?
I paid you 100 dollars for you to tell me something that I already know how to do. I asked them why I am doing this and not REPAIRING the problem. To me restore is like a covering up - it can happen again. They promptly told me that it happens every blue moon and that a program change some files or corrupted them on my hardware. See the change here, first download files are corrupted now my hardware is corrupted! (BS. Plain and simple, BS in all its glory.) I told them then that if I restore without knowing what programs did it in the first place what makes you think it will not happen again... their reply: Because it happens every blue moon.
WOW, 100.00 for that, it's ridiculous and this company's tech support is a joke. I am in the middle of a dispute with my credit card company as we speak. PLEASE PLEASE never get a eMachines computer - YOU WILL REGRET IT!
JACKSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- At one time we were great fans of eMachines. However all that is done. The last computer we bought from them has "gone through" 3 power supplies.. ALL Bestec! The "stock" power supply which came with the system lasted about 5 months. After replacing it with a known working PS we called eMachines who sent us a new one. Due to my work schedule it was a bout 1 month before we installed it. The whole time we ran with the "test" power supply with no issues.
After installing the new one we ran for about 3 months. That one also went bad. Again we swapped out for the "test" power supply and contacted eMachines. Again we were shipped a Bestec Power supply. About 3-4 weeks later we installed it. It lasted less than 24 hours! We again put the "test" power supply in and the computer ran fine. WE called eMachines who suggested that we bring the tower in for service. The computer would be gone for 14+ days, not to mention wipe the hard drive.. (WHY?)
After explaining that the tower was a gift for my fiance and that would not be an option, especially because that the comp has NOT burned out the "test" power supply only BESTEC power supplies. After talking to 4 level 1 techs, We were told that we would need to talk to level 2 tech but there would be no problem getting another brand Power supply. HOWEVER now after talking with a level 2 - that is NOT an option.. WE offered to send in the faulty power supply.. and have it replaced. That is also NOT an option. The only Option is to send in the tower. Have it serviced, it will be replaced with a BESTEC power supply and sent back after it successfully runs.
My question is FOR HOW LONG? Are they going to hold her computer for 6 months? There is a Long list of people complaining about eMachines power supplies. It would make sense to me to maybe.. Just maybe.. STOP USING BESTEC!!! Bottom line I will NOT buy eMachines again. NOR will I recommend that any one buy them, AS I said to the last person I spoke to from eMachines, "Last I heard, customer service is #1." Guess eMachines is beyond that huh..
CARBONDALE, ILLINOIS -- If you have read these reviews and still took the chance.. you got what you deserve! I bought one at New Year's from Wal-Mart. Ran great and I liked it until 3 months later it won't turn on. Hmmm. Found pages upon pages of internet griping about how bad they are, what Wal-Mart said to wiggle out, and that the warranty handlers were outrageous. Didn't listen. Bought another. It will not start right out of the box. Took it back (Wal-Mart reluctantly took it back) for another. It will NOT start right out of the box! So.. took it back and got cash refund. Walked over to Best Buy and bought a Compaq Presario CY5700Y for 309.00! Stay tuned.
P.S. Wal-Mart still has $300 of my money and I have Chinese junk from first purchase!
SALINA, KANSAS -- Civil Justice Initiative is researching a class action suit against eMachines, a Gateway Inc. product. In the circumstance at issue a consumer purchased an eMachine EL1352G-01w for $298 which crashed in just 17 days. Acer support (included with the warranty) repeatedly lied to and deceived the purchaser as well as failed to live up to their 7 day return policy when the product had to be sent in to their repair center in Texas. This is alleged to be in violation of their warranty and service agreement.
Civil Justice Initiative is seeking statements from individuals with similar experiences to help establish the fact that these "cheaper" model computers are composed of substandard components and designed to break down. These substandard products are generally sold to the lower income class who is less likely to be able to pursue legal action so we'd like to do something about that. If you've had a similar experience with an eMachines, Acer, or Gateway PC please visit our site at www.civiljusticeinitiative.org for more information or to provide a statement. The article on this matter is to the immediate right at our Home Page. Thank You.
I recently bought a eMachines computer from Best Buy. I was so excited when I got home to open it up. When I opened the box, looking for instructions all I got was a sad excuse for instructions. It was a paper that barely explained anything. And if that was bad enough, I couldn't get on the internet. At first I thought it was Comcast so I called them. But then I contacted eMachines (via chat) and they made me download a file. It worked fine then.
The next day, the internet stopped working! I tried everything! So I contact them again and the person tells me to do a system restore. I thought he was crazy because I had just bought the computer the day before, but I comply and do that. And after 3-4 hours of trying to get it to work (after the restore) I talk to someone who FINALLY tells me that I DON'T have a wireless card in my computer. If I had've known this earlier I would've taken the computer back. I would NOT recommend this company to ANYONE. Save up for a Dell computer. It may be pricey but at least you'll get a quality computer.
I bought an eMachines desktop computer just under a year ago. Why did I buy an eMachines? Simple, I have a 10 year old one that my son to this day is still using, a bit slow but it's never had an issue. So I figured I couldn't go wrong. Boy was I wrong.
Started out fine when I bought the computer. Then it would randomly lock up, then not only did it lock up it would randomly shut off by itself. So I took it to my computer repair man. He did a diagnostic, contacted eMachines as the computer was still under warranty - told them what he had done and what he felt was wrong with it. We shipped it to them, my cost of shipping of course.
They had it a week, shipped it back stating it was the power source and that had been replaced and they had booted the computer up and it worked fine. When he got the computer back, computer wouldn't boot. Imagine memory modules were not locked into place but yet they had booted it at the company. My computer man returned the computer to me and I had it three days. Guess what? Locking up again.
So my computer repair man contacted them again. We shipped the computer back again to Texas, this time at their cost. Got the computer back yesterday, after two weeks. This time they replaced the hard drive and said it's working fine. Plugged it in, booted it up and it LOCKED again! Not fixed. Contacted them again this morning. It is now back on its way again to Texas for a third repair.
Thank God it's under warranty and thank God for my computer repair man dealing with eMachines company because so far he has made them pay, except for the first time, all shipping costs. For the amount of money they have spent shipping this computer between Texas and Maine they could have replaced the entire thing for less money. I will never recommend an eMachines to anyone again nor will I ever purchase another one. Makes me wonder now why the place I bought the eMachines stopped carrying them??? Think they might have known something?
I needed another laptop, so I went to Wal-Mart. I selected the eMachines e525 laptop with full Windows 7 and a trial version of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007. I had some troubles backing up the system as it would not format the disk. I use an online back so I didn't think much of it. When the Microsoft Office trial expired, I tried to convert it to the full version. The website defaulted to was invalid, so I tried to go directly to Microsoft. I was referred to the new 2010 version, and tried to purchase it. The site would not properly accept my order, so I ordered the product key direct from Wal-Mart for the 2010 version.
After several attempts to install it according to instructions, I had to call Microsoft. After days of wrangling with customer service, I was advised that the Windows 7 had a corrupt Windows Installer file. Even though it was a software problem, Microsoft said I had to go through the equipment manufacturer to get it fixed. I contacted eMachines (Gateway/Acer) for assistance. The service representative referred me to a site for reinstalling VISTA saying it would work the same with Windows 7. The instructions provided were faulty. When I later tried to access the instructions again, the web page had been removed.
I called eMachines support again. I was advised that the machine was still under warranty, but since it was a software problem, not a hardware problem; it would have to be referred to the Pay For Support Team for special handling. eMachines does not stand behind its warranty and Microsoft will not stand behind its software unless purchased directly from them, even if properly licensed.
I bought this notebook eMachines E525 m. KAWFO 3.07 at Wal-Mart. I paid $348.00 plus tax, I considered a good price that's the reason I chose it. I used it a couple of times and now when I try to turn it on I see a message on the screen which says, "Windows failed to start" and then it keeps going ahead by itself through the startup repairs process then suddenly appears another message on the screen which says: "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically. If you continue to see this message, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance. Click finish to exit and shut down your computer."
Well I called the manufacturer and they said that I have to pay $129.00 per hour for technical assistance, then I realized why it is a good price when you buy it. I barely used my notebook and I'll have to spend $129.00 to keep using it; I went back to Wal-Mart to try to return it and buy a HP because I have a HP desktop and I have 5 years of free technical support and never had any problems with technical support every time I needed it, but they said it couldn't be returned because there were more than 15 days that I had bought it.
I had told to a friend of mine about the price when I bought this computer, he was about to buy one because he thought it was a good deal, but I called him back about all this issues. I told him it's probably better to spend a few bucks more to have a more reliable PC with better assistance which he agreed right away. That's all I can do, let as much people I can to know about my experience, I hope it can help.
Bought for a Christmas present for my son at Wal-Mart's Black Friday Sale. It crashed within a week. Wal-Mart wouldn't replace or exchange it. Had to fight through three tech's at eMachines to get them to take it back and then had to pay almost $30 to ship it to them through UPS. Still have no idea what they plan on doing but, we will never purchase another one in this household.

This is a page for hosting consensus items currently under debate, with their formal wording.
The Consensus Items History is the public record of consensus items that have been decided on in the past. Please move the records from the "Current" page to the "History" page once they've been approved/blocked.
Date First Discussed | Proposed By | Wording | Author of this Record |
7/09 | Leif | Michael "Occupirate" Clift is unwelcome at Noisebridge. He is prohibited from entering the space or participating in the community. (This was consensed on 07/09/2013 and has been moved to the History. Leif wasn't sure it was sufficiently communicated for two week's communication, so it should be verified that the previous consensus is still the current consensus of Noisebrige.-JH) | Jarrod |
7/09 | Monad | Only documented service animals are allowed in Noisebridge. | Jarrod |
7/09 | James | To create a process for re-admitting people into the community: a book, like the membership book. Or something. More details to come. | Jarrod |
7/09 | Unlisted, Cannot Recall | The guy with no pants and cheesecake on his face be banned. (Is there better wording for this for the record? -JH) | Jarrod |
7/09 | Cynthia | Noisebridge disallow use of poisons to control insects and other animals in favor of using diatomaceous earths and other materials benign to large animals for a period of time no less than four months, and if results are favorable, for continued sets of four months with reviews comparing with measurements to be taken this month of July 2013. | Jarrod |
6/18 - Deferred 07/09/2013 to clarify wording | Monad | Some issues need to be fleshed out by a meeting of interested parties. They can identify the central points that require consensus during the weekly meeting. | Casey |
