What sensor is better? CIS or CMOS in scanners?

3d scanner usb image

gbeuchel

When it comes to scanners, what is the difference between:

CIS
CMOS

Note: I want to scan family photos

Answer
I'll list some pros and cons and leave it to you to decide.

CIS
pros: cheaper than CMOS, uses less current so some of them can operate entirely off the USB port and won't require an external adaptor meaning they could in theory be hooked up to a laptop and made portable.

cons: my personal impression is that the contrast ratio for CIS is inferior to cmos. Probably because the light used in CIS is different (weaker?) than cmos. But this is easily rectified if you purchase a good quality CIS scanner. CIS can't scan 3D objects.

CMOS:
pros: can scan a surface that isn't entirely flat (CIS only scans surfaces that are in contact with the scanner glass, anything further aware than several fractions of an inch just shows up as a blur). That makes CMOS good for scanning thick books as it will scan words that are printed near the spine and that can't be made to lay entirely flat unto the glass.

Cons: generally heavier than CIS. requires external power supply so not portable. Might be slightly more costly.

My wireless dsl connection stinks!Is it the card?

unknown

Sometimes my internet lags out a bit and sometimes I am able to hear messages from others while I can't send any at all and it disconnects me!I'm using a wireless usb card called netopia on a 3d reach stand.

So if it is a bad card,what one would you recommend?P.S i don't know if this information is needed but i'm on desktop.

Answer
It sounds more like it is your computer then your internet. Get a virus and spyware scanner and a firewall. I recommend going to download.com and clicking virus firewall and see what other people say. I really like comodo firewall pro for firewall and avast for virus. they are both free

What can I use to cast a mold from stone without hurting the stone?

3d scanner build image

disciple

I'm new to this, but does anyone know what medium I would use to make a mold from a stone. In other words, There is an old building with a beautiful design sculpted in to it. I want to copy this design. I know there is a material out there that I can press against the original design and make a mold of it and then cast the design in plaster. I just don't know what material I would use to do this without hurting the stone.... Help!!!

Answer
I think the sculpey or any clay will work. If you use normal clay, any residue left will dissolve in the next rain, just don't use brown clay on light stone... if you use water based clay you would have to cast your plaster into the mold while the clay is still wet.
As the clay won't be very stable just on its own, you should consider making a mother mold on top of that. That is a hard shell, which just gives support to the soft part of your mold so it doesn't deform. It depends on the size of what you want to copy if you need it. You could make the mothermold from plaster bandages, but don't put plaster directly on the stone.
Before you start, consider carefully the shape of what you want to copy and where undercuts are and where you have to put in parting lines. What technique you use for mold making really depends on the exact shape of what you want to copy. If the structure is something complicated, you may want to practice how to make molds from more simple structures first so you are aware what causes problems and get some experience in how to solve them.

Another completely contact free method is if you happen to be at a university where they have a 3D laser scanning camera you can borrow, you could use the 3D laser scanner then make a model of your structure in the computer from the scans. That you could print out using a 3D printer. that way you can scale the model to any size (though anything large will be expensive to print)

Can you make fantasy characters from scratch in photoshop?

I was wondering if it's possible to create a fantasy character like cloud from the FFX series or any cartoon / manga styled people.

Are the tools thier to allow you to build them from scratch inside photoshop... say for example if i wanted to draw custom naruto characters.

Im thinking about doing this to add to my college portfolio as i have just started graphics at college. thanks in advance!

Answer
of course! ;) Photoshop has all the tools you need to create a fully rendered, coloured character. It is the industry standard for projects of this type.To all intents and purposes, photoshop is a 2D application, so you wont be able to create a 3d model, but for a picture, for sure!! Since most people who develop characters work from sketches, it also has the ability to import straight from a camera/scanner etc for you to trace and rework!!

Good Luck!!

What Linux distrobution is your favourite and why?

3d scanner ubuntu image

Carson Ros

I have CentOs 5.4 on one desktop system, 2 CentOS servers- 1 running asterisk and 1 running the SQL and Apache for the dialer. I have 3 Ubuntu 9.10 desktops, 1 Fedora 12 Desktop and my laptop has Ubuntu 9.10 x64.... only because I couldnt get my ATI card to work right with Fedora's KDE for some reason. Even in Ubuntu, I have to use Gnome for the dual monitor display to work correctly.

What is your favorite distro and why?

Answer
Ubuntu

Reasons
1) It just works. I haven't had to fiddle around to get hardware to work since Intrepid, except when testing alpha versions. The installer is easy and slick. Everything has worked right out of the box on both new installs as well as dist-upgrades, including sound, 3D graphics, printers, wifi, bluetooth, and webcams. In fact I still can't get Bluetooth to work on XP/Vista and my HP MFD won't work(the scanner part anyway) since I lost the driver CD; both of these have worked out of the box with Ubuntu since Gutsy. I didn't even run into any of the Intel graphics issues that so many were talking about in Jaunty.

2) Excellent seamless upgrade process, and a regular release schedule for new versions. The update manager is excellent and easy to use. Plus the advantages of APT and Synaptic coupled with the deb format, thanks to Ubuntu's Debian roots.

3) The best feature- great documentation, and exceptional community support at ubuntuforums.

Linux live cd with good antivirus scan?

Milkduds

I was on a website, youtube and cgtextures.com and I was redirected to a fake rouge antivirus where it tells me my computer has x amount of threats blah blah blah. I quickly alt F4d out and scanned my computer. Nothing came up so I hope I didnt get anything. First off can someone explain to me a little about this fake antivirus scareware. I dont believe I have a computer with trojans malware or viruses becuase its only 2 months old and dedicated to 3D work. It runs windows7 64bit. This is why I am thinking it was definately a redirect.

I already have a linux live CD, but is there a good linux live CD that has a good virus scanner. That way incase I ever did get a virus I could remove it without reinstalling the OS and all my software which would take atleast a day.
Adding to the question. It doesnt seem like either of these websites would redirect to a virus scam site. Is it possible that one of the adds on the sites slipped through Googles radar and was actuall bad? I am mostly concerned as to why this happened.

Answer
Use a clean Windows or Mac computer and download this SystemRescueCD ISO

http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page


For Windows use the free ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a cd

(on a Mac use Apple's Disk Utility in the Applications > Utilities folder)

Research online what the BIO's boot key to hold to enter the BIO's for the infected computer.

Make sure the infected computer has a WIRED internet connection to the router with a Ethernet cable.

Insert the SystemRestorecd into the infected computer, boot and enter the BIO's, set the cd as the first boot option. You'll now boot into SystemRescue, select the Graphical interface.

You'll see a Terminal window, type the two following commands and press enter after each one

clamd

freshclam

clamd is the virus scanner, freshclam updates the definitions via the internet online

Next there is a icon on the bottom, mouse over it, click it and it should open to be Gparted.

Once Gparted window is open, look on the right popup menu for the list of drives, you want the FAT or NTSF formatted one that Windows uses, check the size too. It should be obvious. Now get the name of the drive Linux uses to identify it either sda1 or sda2 usually.

Once you got that, close Gparted Window.

Now back to terminal type the one of the following depending if it's sda1 or sda2 (or sda3 or sda4 etc for the windows drive)

ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows

ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows

ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/windows

ntfs-3g /dev/sda4 /mnt/windows

next type:

clamscan -vri /mnt/windows

and let her rip for a few hours, the monitor will likely sleep, you can use the mouse to wake it up.

come back and you'll have a status report and can quarantine infected files. Take the names and locations down to do research. If there are a lot, then you need to grab your files, you'll need to factory restore Windows.

Either boot into safe mode on windows and attempt to transfer files or better yet

On a safe machine, burn a ISO of Ubuntu downloaded from this page (easiest and direct way)

http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/help/guide/step2

Use the ImgBurn or OS X Disk Utility and follow the same boot methods on the infected computer like above. You don't need a internet connection, but you do need a blank FAT formatted external USB drive (Windows or OS X Disk Utility can format that)

Hook up the external to the infected computer, boot off the Ubuntu cd and "try" Ubuntu, once the desktop appears, simply select the Places menu > Computer and select the Windows drive, navigate to your files and copy them to the external drive window via drag and drop methods.

It's also possible from the terminal on SystemRestoreCd to copy files to a external drive as well, but this takes some knowledge, I used the Ubuntu GUI method as the easiest.

The advantage of a Linux Live cd scan is that Windows doesn't run, thus the malware doesn't run and the cd is write protected, a different OS and the more secure Linux as well. Malware has little chance to lie to you this way like it does when Windows is running. Also Linux scans the whole drive, instead of a malware controlled Windows only scanning parts it wants you to scan.

Once you get a clean Windows computer again, you should first have your external drive virus scanned and cleaned on a Linux or OS X machine before hooking back to your new clean Windows, new malware comes out all the time so definitions need to be updated and a rescan done.

Any Dr. prepared to give me "scanner" images of human LIMBS?

3d scanner manufacturers image

just "JR"

I am doing some preliminary research on "Morphology Replication of Human Limbs Prosthesis".
In (very) short:
- A human lost an arm
- I scan the remaining one
- I make a mirror image of it.
- I build the missing bones in titanium alloy (technically modified)
- I build the muscle structure using nanotube carbon fibres
- I build the skin tissue using DNA "spray"...
... more ...
- A surgeon "implants" the prothesis.
Already a 20 years dream.
Accepted as a PhD researcher with Coimbra University. Need concrete preliminary results to confirm research project.

Current problems:
- Get scanned image of human "arm" (from mid-humerus to finger tips), taken from standard medical scanners to convert these images into 3D models, where the exact sketelton can be extracted in 3D.
- Get existing programs that do the transformation (none found yet: medical scanners manufacturers are not prepared to share data)
- I can write and develop the program to do the conversion.
- Drs. use "Patient confidentiality" to refuse my request.
- I offer "my arm" for scanning, but I have to pay for it (tooooo much $)
Offers?
Solutions?
Images?
Thanks
(I'll put my research status on my site (http://www.web2coders.com/research - in a day or two, if I receive any answer)

Answer
This sounds pretty futuristic, and it will be hard to obtain images from "real" patients, because human subjects are (luckily) very protected for medical research. You would not want your medical scans and information to end up in the wrong hands either, for sure.

But I would assume that your project could work if you had a "general", average arm, wouldn't it?
Here is a website that seems to provide 3-D medical images. I am not a member of this site, and you'd have to pay for the images, but it would be a start.

http://www.medicalrf.com/
http://www.3d4medical.com/

Then, Stanford University in California does work on 3D medical images. You could try to contact them. Make sure to stress that you want de-identified images, so without ANY patient data. That might help you get what you need.
http://3dradiology.stanford.edu/

Good luck! I am not sure if this would work with the current technology. The " DNA spray" to make skin seems too futuristic for current techniques. Maybe your arm does not really need skin, most patients would already be happy with something that they can move. Have you thought about how a patient would move that artificial arm? I would guess that nerves, and the connection to the brain, are the most difficult step.

How far is the automated 3-D segmentation of Brain MRI efficient compared to manual segmentation?

3d scanner body parts image

Sandhya

We are doing a project on automated 3-D segmentation of brain MRI using MATLAB. We would like to know the extent to which "Surf" commands are efficient in producing reliable segmented 3-D image. The accuracy level, how much it is better compared to manual segmentation. We need statistical detail, kindly help us....

Answer
This correspondence deals with the development of an
automated 3-D segmentation of Brain MRI. The proposal is a
model-based approach for accurate, robust, and automated
tissue segmentation of brain MRI data of single as well as
multiple magnetic resonance sequences. The main contribution
of this study is that we employ an edge-based geodesic active
contour for the segmentation task by integrating both image
edge geometry and voxel statistical homogeneity into a novel
hybrid geometricâstatistical feature to regularize contour
convergence and extract complex anatomical structures. We
validate the accuracy of the segmentation results on simulated
brain MRI scans of both single T1-weighted and multiple T1/
T2/PD-weighted sequences. When compared to a current stateof-
the-art region based level-set segmentation formulation,
our white matter and gray matter segmentation resulted in
significantly higher accuracy levels with a mean improvement
in Dice similarity indexes. Thus the development of the project
is done using MATLAB simulation for results.
A Hybrid Automated 3D Segmentation in Brain MRI -------------------------------------------------------- Advantages of a MRI scan
⢠MRI scanners are good at looking at the non-bony parts
or "soft tissues" of the body. In particular, the brain, spinal
cord and nerves are seen much more clearly with MRI
than with regular x-rays and CAT scans.
⢠Also, muscles, ligaments and tendons are seen quite well
so that MRI scans are commonly used to look at knees
and shoulders following injuries.
⢠A MRI scanner uses no x-rays or other radiation.
⢠A disadvantage of MRI is itâs higher cost compared to a
regular x-ray or CAT scan. Also, CAT scans are frequently
better at looking at the bones that MRI.

How are 2D cartoons animated today?

Captain Ca

I understand how 3D images are made, they generate models and send them through animations. However, how do they do 2D cartoons? I asume they don't draw each individual frame anymore. But, backgrounds that don't move do appear to be hand-drawn in some shows. How do 2D cartoons go through animations?

Answer
Depending on the budget, deadlines, technology, experience and preference that 2D animations are made one way or another.

Small budgeted shows, destined for the weekly TV slots are mostly done on Flash these days. Characters are created from simple shapes with movable body parts (mouths, hands etc.) are pasted onto individual layers and animated individually or in concert with the other parts.

The good thing about Flash is that you can position key drawings (important, story-telling character poses of say, a hand) out and the computer will fill in the in-between drawings (all the other drawings between the key drawings to smooth out the movements) automatically. So you can position the hand at one location (a key), and then program the computer to move it to another location (another key) and it will fill in all the in-between drawings by itself (timing is done by the animator). Computers are only good at moving objects around perfectly and stretching/squashing them according to preset rules so you are limited to certain expressions. Of course, complex scenes still need to be animated by hand, but to keep the cost and the time consumed down, animators don't get to do them frequently, if at all.

You can recognize these shows by the extremely smooth movements exhibited by the characters, as well as the bold and uniformed outlines and colors throughout. Backgrounds can be painted by hand, either digitally or on papers( and then scanned into the computer), or created from bodies of static shapes and colors.

Bigger, movie-length animated films use specialized softwares, either developed in-house, or bought commercially like the Toon Boom Animation program. These, however, are almost completely hand-drawn (characters-wise), since you can only create good character animation when you have a feel of the lines and forms of the characters, a thing that is quite difficult to program on a computer.

Some studios use papers and scanners, some use graphic tablets like the Wacoms to imput drawings into their computers. Some parts of a character can be animated while others are put on a different layer and remain static.

You can recognize these films by the slight jittery outlines of the character when he/she/it moves, since each line was drawn to match up with the previous drawings', though never perfectly so, no matter how hard the animators tried. The backgrounds are usually painted by hand (either digitally or manually on papers), or in 3D models that mimic a particular style or both.

Having said all that, yes, most animated shows are still drawn by hand. Some are done on papers and scanners, some are done on computers with Wacom tablets, some combine both in the production process. 2D animation is a craft, and unless computers can draw imaginatively, animators will still have their jobs, drawing them lovingly frame by frame. I hope that helped.

Is there any other COOL editing software like iStopmotion i can use to make awesome videos?

3d scanner mac os x image

JustASmall

What is it called and what does it do... thanks!!

Answer
Try these. All are FREE......

Pencil : http://www.pencil-animation.org/
Pencil is an animation/drawing software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics. Pencil is free and open source.

Synfig Animation Studio : http://synfig.org/
Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based open-source 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality animation with fewer people and resources.2D Animation has traditionally been very expensive because every frame must be drawn by hand. Even with today´s digital inking and painting software, the process still relies on individuals hand-drawing each frame. This laborious task is called "tweening".Synfig eliminates the task of manual tweening, producing smooth, fluid motion without the animator having to draw out each frame individually. This allows you to produce 2D animation with fewer people while producing art of a higher quality.

Tapptoons Linetester : http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/tapptoons/index.htm
The Tapptoons Linetester enables animators to use a scanner or video camera (with compatible capture card) to input animation images into a standard PC and edit their work, adding soundtrack and color if they wish and to output the result as a Windows AVI. Can be used for puppet animation as well as drawn animation.

eDrawings : http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/
eDrawings is a freeware utility which will give the user the power to view, create and share 3D models and 2D drawings. eDrawings offers unique capabilities like point-and-click animations that make it easy for anyone with a PC to interpret and understand 2D and 3D design data.

NEED HELP on a Computer for Web Developer/Designer.?

Dr.True

I want a good computer that I can edit videos, music, images and other media. It does not have tobe the latest, or fastest as price is concern. I do have my eye on the IMAC 20inch, is this a good buy for what I want to do?

Answer
That is a good choice. If you already have a good monitor, you can get a Mac Mini. I have one, as well as an old blue&white G3 (which I keep around because I can hook up my scanner and THREE monitors at once!)

The new multi-core Intel machines are very, very fast. My Mini, a 1.66GHz Core Duo, works nine times faster than the old machine while performing raytraced 3D.

Mac OS X is also a system which is brilliant for coding back-end server code. If you interested in Ruby on Rails, I recommend Locomotive: a portable development environment for Rails. It makes things very easy indeed.

What is the likeliness of getting a gau-19?

3d scanner wiki image

John

Like how much $$$ would one need to order the d*mn thing?
How hard it is to aquire one in the first place?
And what kind of federal license would you need to have to own it?
Lastly, what process would need to be carried out to aquire this license?

I'm guessing a kind of military license, $5,000, and a due process to order, ship, and receive as well as shipping payment. General Dynamics doesn't just hand out Gau-19s to just anyone, although that would be pretty convenient. And i'm guessing extensive training (military) and testing to aquire this particular license. I'm also guessing that from its little popularity and being widely unkown that it may be easier than i think, still difficult, but easier to aquire than that of an m134.

below, I get a little off here, so read if you please but you don't have to cause it's not part of my question, just some facts and links, i'd rather have my questions answered.

My reasons for wanting to aquire this weapon is for a last defense for when the tyranny of our government reaches to the point of an absolute dictatorship and we merge into the rest of the worlds
revolution in the act to rebuild nations, that this will help defend myself and my family, an ar-15 won't cut it. Also, because of its 3 barrels and ability to change the R.O.F. of the weapon, can help preserve ammo than its 6 barreled counterpart (m134), and speaking of ammo, it has a larger round than its counterpart making the gau-19 (50-BMG) better than the m134 (7.62 x 51). And although the .50 is more expensive than the other, because of the lower fire rate of the gau-19, in the long run, i save, cause its the m134's 5,000 rpm Vs. the gau-19's 1,000 rpm rate (or selectable 1,250 rpm, 1,300 rpm, and 2,000 rpm). So as you can see here, my reasons are very good reasons. My final reason is because, admit it, it's an awesome weapon, the machine in my favorite game series Halo for the XBox is modeled after the gau-19.

gau-19 is the 4th one down

Answer
It might be possible to purchase one from a foreign military entity. You can buy MIG-29 fighter jets from former soviet republic air forces. Some are for sale for around 5 million dollars. You might not be able to get a GAU-19 since they do not just sell them to anyone. If you are really that determined to get one you could use 3d scanners to help reverse engineer the GAU-19 in 50 caliber and produce one for yourself. If in the end with all of the legal paperwork ,and tax stamps you can have a fully automatic GAU-19. If you cannot get your hands on a GAU-19 you could make something similar that could do the same job ,but reverse engineering an GAU-19 is probably your best bet since you probably will not be able to get one imported or purchase one from general dynamics. Remember you will have to get the proper manufacturing licenses from the ATF.

Is there anyone out there that thinks Windows Vista is an improvement over Windows XP?

JD

I DON'T want to hear from people who hate on Vista. I've already heard the negatives.

I want to hear only from people who think Vista is better, and why they feel that way.

Answer
I've been running Windows Vista Premium for about a month now since I got my new computer. I'm what some call a power user and use my computer constantly for both work and play. Overall I actually do think it is an improvement over XP in a lot of ways and have really enjoyed using it so far. The first thing thats really cool (and the one many people are talking about) is the new interface called Aero. Basically if you have a computer capable of using this new interface you are going to really love it! (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista#Hardware_requirements to see if your computer can handle it) it has a lot of nice glass and transparency effects, a cool 3d replacement for alt-tab switching, a really great sidebar that holds gadgets like clocks, calenders, radio stations, news, etc.. (similar to Mac's widgets) and a bunch of other nice things. I also like the fact that the 'start button' no longer has the word start on it, I always felt like that was treating me like some kind of idiot. You can check some screenshots to get an idea of what it looks like but I'd recommend a video or something so you can see it in motion. Aside from visual improvements there are some other great additions. I love the new search feature, it's easily accessible from the start menu and is a massive improvement over XP's search function. It lets you customize your search in a lot of the same ways and is extremely fast and efficient. I can search an entire hard drive (over 350gb in size) for a single file and get my results within a minute instead of the 10+ min it took on XP. The best features though are mainly on the security front, now when a program tries to install or change something behind the scenes Vista will ask you if you want to block it or let it through. While some find this annoying it is def better for your PC in the long run. The new firewall also does the same, every time a program wants to access the internet it asks you if you want to block or allow it and then remembers your choice for the future. There's also a built in anti-spyware program called Windows Defender that is nice to have. The other thing I love is that they took all the great things about Windows XP Media Center Edition, improved on them and then included it into Vista Premium and Ultimate. Because I have a tv card in my system I have been absolutely loving this! Not only is it great for watching TV but you can use it like a DVR for rewinding and pausing live TV, setting it up to record a show every week when its on like a Tivo and more. It also pulls a guide from the internet that will show you exactly whats on and when and functions like a built in Tv-Guide. Overall the media center is feature packed and easy to use. As far as other entertainment goes I have also not been disappointed. I've been able to play almost all of my favorite 3d games without problems which was a concern for me at first. Movies and mp3's also work without problems in Media Player 11. Another big aspect for me was how the programs I use for work would function. These included things like Microsoft Office and a whole lot of graphic design software (mostly adobe software) I found that everything installed and worked as expected and have been very satisfied with all my softwares performance. My final concern was how my peripherals would work. To get my HP PhotoSmart d5069 printer to work I couldn't use the included setup disc and instead had to go to HP's site and download a Vista driver and then all was fine. My external usb hard drive worked right off the bat as well as my USB xbox360 game pad and MS finger print scanner. The only thing I couldn't get to work was my Genius drawing tablet, I'm hoping Vista drivers will come out for it soon though. Basically I was initially skeptical about going to Windows Vista so early after its release and prob wouldn't have upgraded to it for a long time on my last PC, however since it came on a new computer I thought I'd give it a fair chance to prove itself. I told myself if I hated it I would just install Windows XP onto it and I was happy to find that I really liked it and found it an improvement overall. I would def recommend it if you have a computer that meets the system requirements. Def ignore people who have a strong opinion on it but have not even tried it for themselves. Everyone hates Microsoft and everyone knows it. Also I think many people are uneasy and afraid of change, especially OS changes. They get comfortable with software after using it for so many years. I liked XP to but Windows XP has been out forever, and was not without its problems in the beginning (think pre service pack 2). It's time for something fresh and new! I think Vista is much better off then XP in many areas, you've got to see it for yourself and use it for a while to understand. Also make sure to look at this product for what it is and not just by who makes it. Hope this helps you!

Do almost all laptops have cameras now?

Q. I was just thinking about getting a laptop and it looks to me like almost all of then have cameras now. Also could you recommend some good brands?

Answer
Just about all of the latest laptops and netbooks I've seen today have decent web cams built into them.

There are many excellent laptops and netbooks out there today. Going with a brand name computer with a good warranty and support program is important.

Do a search for "top laptop reviews" and you will find many websites with customer reviews on the latest and best laptops along with their prices.

Something to consider while shopping for a good laptop or netbook is how much can you spend? What size screen do you want? (15" to 17" are nice sizes, more efficient). Try out the keyboard if you can and make sure it's a full-sized keyboard that feels good.

Make sure you have at least 2 gigabytes of memory if your laptop has Vista running on it. Also, make sure your hard drive is at least 150 gigabytes, preferably larger. And be clear what software comes with your unit, not just trialware programs. Also, make sure your new laptop or netbook comes with a good graphics card on it.

And do make sure you like the look of your laptop or netbook. Make sure it has a nice outer-shell coating and it's something you really like. Check for things like how long your battery cell will last (hopefully between 3-6 hours) and what type of built-in security it might have. HP has some nice units with fingerprint scanners built in.

And while I think about it, jump over to QVC.com and HSN.com as each of them represent HP and ACER laptop and netbook manufacturers and sometimes you can find some great deals there, including flex payments.

Here is CNET's reviews of the Top 5 laptops: http://reviews.cnet.com/best-laptops/

PC Magazine's 2009 Best Laptop Reviews: http://www.pcmag.com/products/0,,tqs=CEFEABBCE0F3D5AF28C24FA484B268E08927E375,00.asp?action=defaultadvancedquery&cid=1565&sid=1565&gridtitle=Recent%20Product%20Reviews&googlequery=q%3d%26start%3d0%26num%3d10%26mt823%3d21234%26pr21234%3dLess%2520than%2520%242200&stpdinglp=1

My computer keeps freezing?

3d scanner definition image

sirhouse

My computer freezes a lot to the point where its become "useless". I'll list the history of what happened to it and if anyone has a fix to it I'm literally going to explode out of happiness.

I got my first blue screen playing a 3D game called minecraft, all I had to do was restart my computer and it worked again. This kept happening but not to the point where it was annoying, it rarely happened.

But I kept playing games and it got to the point where I would get a blue screen after a few minutes every time I played any game or video.

I asked a question on here a while ago and I got some help that told me it was the graphics card/driver. I uninstalled the graphics driver and reinstalled it, but the problems continued.

I thought it had to be an overheating problem so I removed the back case of my laptop. But in fact this made it much worse and I thought it was because now my RAM sticks weren't seated securely and they were moving around causing it to crash much more commonly. So I took one out I couldn't find the other one but this didn't change anything at all except now it crashes even when I'm not doing anything video related like surfing the web.

Anyways thats where I'm at now. I think its a problem with the hardware because it kept getting worse over time, but I don't know what parts not working. Thanks for ANY advice/pointers!

Answer
What Operating System your using?

Suggest running the Memory Diagnostics Tool from Microsoft:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-nz/windows7/diagnosing-memory-problems-on-your-computer

If one or more memory sticks is corrupted at a point, then your find that your computer will randomly crash (when it has reached and tries to use that address). So, this could happen at any time - boot time, during any application/game, etc. If this is your issue, then carefully remove all memory sticks (after removing static from your body by grounding yourself - for example: touching a piece of metal area on the computer) except for one and retest each individually... place back any good ones and replace the damaged one(s).

Next scan your computer hard drive(s) for errors, go under "My Computer" -> Right click on each Local Disk (one at a time) -> Properties -> Tools (tab) -> Erroring Checking -> Check Now. Select automatically fix file system errors and also check for bad sectors option. If the drive is in use, it might ask to check on next boot up instead (say okay and restart).

Next scan your computer for viruses, spyware and trojans. If you already have an virus scanner, then ensure it is up-to-date as well as Windows, a good firewall and other applications you use regularly. Most virus scanner are utter rubbish, I recommend total application control rather than virus definition only scanners. This means something which gives or denies each application/game access to various areas of your system (including itself) with a strong firewall to prevent any network access, such as Kaspersky Internet Security.

You can check with some free tools, such as: http://www.kaspersky.com/virus-scanner

Also, check for spyware using a free manual running application (which doesn't conflict with your virus scanner) such as Lava Soft Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php or Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/dl/

Next clean out any startup background applications and/or services you don't need. This is more advance, only remove what you know is and don't want. You can use Start -> Run -> type "MsConfig.exe" and press enter, then look under the Startup tab, also more carefully under the Services tab (Leave it alone or Google search the name of each if unsure what it is/does).

How do I make java calculate decimal places?

Austin Naw

So I created this code in java that calculates an average of 3 numbers:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Average {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);

int average = 0;
int number = 0;

System.out.println("Please input 3 numbers");

number = input.nextInt();
number = number + input.nextInt();
number = number + input.nextInt();

average = number/3;
System.out.println("Your average is " + average);
}
}

When it calculates the average, it doesn't calculate into the decimal values. How do I get it to do that?

Answer
Declaring average as a float or double is not the answer. It is just part of the answer.

The sum
number / 3
is an integer divided by an integer. This will result always in an integer.
Changing one or both of the numbers to the type of the receiving variable will give you the result that you are looking for.
To make a variable a different type you can change the definition or you can use casting.
To change a constant to a different type you use a type suffix.
3.0 is a double, being the default option
3D, 3d, 3.0D, 3.0d are all double because of the d suffix.
3F, 3f, 3.0F, 3.0f are all float because of the f suffix.

Have fun.

very slow laptop help please!?

3d scanner .zip image

Hexadecima

I have a Dell laptop with 1 GB of ram and a 2.2 GHz CPU~!
recently it has become really slow that drives me crazy! The OS is windows vista business!
What should I do? Do you think I should switch to XP again?

Answer
You have a couple of options. There are a few issues with Windows, and I would recommend you abandon Vista. I did an experiment with my flashdrive, I zipped around 1.6GB of files (pictures, a disk iso and some other stuff, around 200 files) and put a 'test.zip' file onto my flashdrive. I then rebooted to Vista, and unzipped it to my desktop - around 18 minutes. Next, I rebooted to XP and unzipped the same file again, it took 6 minutes this time. Next, I rebooted to Ubuntu (gnome desktop) and repeated the experiment. I missed it - it was around 6 to 8 seconds, I missed the timing because I was just so amazed watching the 'New Folder' window filling up. Instead of showing the files appear one by one, it seemed to flash them up around ten at a time! Stunning.

So the solution - possibly - is firstly to partition your hard disk into three sections. I did this at home, and left Vista out of the picture. Now I have 30GB XP partition, 200GB NTFS STORAGE partition, and 50GB UBUNTU partition. From Ubuntu I have access to all three - but from XP I only see the NTFS unless I use a special 'ext3' browser.

XP is not secure - something that made Vista look good. I installed my ADCSee PRO 2 on there, and my games, and disabled the Networking - so no virusses (no need for scanners). For everything else, I use Ubuntu (actually it has great image editing, but I can't leave my ACDsee, it's a photoshop killer if you have 300 photo's to edit and write to CD...). I run Virtualbox, so I have 'virtualXP' VDI image taking up 3GB of my disk - but that means I can run Yahoo messenger on my Ubuntu desktop.

Installing Ubuntu took around 20 minutes, then another hour or so installing extra stuff (it's FREE, so you have to add 'NON FREE' items to enable mp3 etc. lots of great guides on internet).

Dualboot XP with Ubuntu - you'll never look back, and you'll have the most amazing 3D desktop available - much better than the cheesy video's on Youtube show you.

2.2GHz and 1GB Ram is plenty for Ubuntu, and it's totally secure - and you can even get an antivirus installed (I have AVG and AVAST for scanning my windows partitions and flashdrives - but Ubuntu cannot suffer from any kind of infections).

Before you decide, download a 'liveCD' and boot that. It won't touch your disk/system, and it will let you see the most basic form of desktop. If your screen resolution is okay, and wireless works, then install it. Ubuntu installed on my system in around 25 minutes, and ALL of my hardware (printer, wireless keyboard/mouse, Nvidia, widescreen monitor, sound, etc. etc).
Everything just works out of the box better even than the impressive Vista installation (impressive after XP, that is....).

p.s. Ubuntu has no 'disk clean up' problems, it NEVER fragments - you'll find that it won't slow down after 5 months of heavy internet use...

1-State 3 ways in which data about the goods may be entered into the points of sales (POS) terminals ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(A bicycle company use robots in its facory which have an arm with a paint spray attached)

A-State 2 way in which the computer can be instructed to
control the robot arm ??

B-State 2 advantages of the company of using the robot to do the painting ?

C-State 2 disadvantages of the company of using the robot to do the painting ?

Answer
1. a) scan the object's UPC code with the laser scanner
b) enter the object's UPC code manually into the keypad
c) just type the object's description manually into the POS terminal keyboard (e.g. "bananas bunch").

2. a) motion capture. A human actually paints a bicycle frame, and sensors record the position and 3D angling of the paint nozzle, and the pressure his hand applied to the handle.
b) The positioning data can be modified by entering data from a keyboard.

3. a) The robot performs the same way EVERY TIME. If it performs flawlessly once, it'll do it again and again.
b) The robot performs tirelessly. It can run 24/7 (except for maintenance times), does not need to have a pension plan or healthcare coverage.

4. a) The robot isn't flexible. It paints the same way every time. If you get a new frame, you'll need to reprogram the robot arm via motion capture again.
b) Sorry, I could only think of one disadvantage to using a robot for painting!! Um... maybe... the local labor union will hate your guts for replacing a skilled worker with a robot arm! LOL. Edit: If the robot breaks down, you have to wait for a factory rep to come out and fix it!

General Dynamics doesn't just hand out Gau-19s to just anyone, although that would be pretty convenient. And i'm guessing extensive training (military) and testing to aquire this particular license. I'm also guessing that from its little popularity and being widely unkown that it may be easier than i think, still difficult, but easier to aquire than that of an m134.

below, I get a little off here, so read if you please but you don't have to cause it's not part of my question, just some facts and links, i'd rather have my questions answered.

My reasons for wanting to aquire this weapon is for a last defense for when the tyranny of our government reaches to the point of an absolute dictatorship and we merge into the rest of the worlds
revolution in the act to rebuild nations, that this will help defend myself and my family, an ar-15 won't cut it. Also, because of its 3 barrels and ability to change the R.O.F. of the weapon, can help preserve ammo than its 6 barreled counterpart (m134), and speaking of ammo, it has a larger round than its counterpart making the gau-19 (50-BMG) better than the m134 (7.62 x 51). And although the .50 is more expensive than the other, because of the lower fire rate of the gau-19, in the long run, i save, cause its the m134's 5,000 rpm Vs. the gau-19's 1,000 rpm rate (or selectable 1,250 rpm, 1,300 rpm, and 2,000 rpm). So as you can see here, my reasons are very good reasons. My final reason is because, admit it, it's an awesome weapon, the machine in my favorite game series Halo for the XBox is modeled after the gau-19.

gau-19 is the 4th one down

Answer
It might be possible to purchase one from a foreign military entity. You can buy MIG-29 fighter jets from former soviet republic air forces. Some are for sale for around 5 million dollars. You might not be able to get a GAU-19 since they do not just sell them to anyone. If you are really that determined to get one you could use 3d scanners to help reverse engineer the GAU-19 in 50 caliber and produce one for yourself. If in the end with all of the legal paperwork ,and tax stamps you can have a fully automatic GAU-19. If you cannot get your hands on a GAU-19 you could make something similar that could do the same job ,but reverse engineering an GAU-19 is probably your best bet since you probably will not be able to get one imported or purchase one from general dynamics. Remember you will have to get the proper manufacturing licenses from the ATF.

Is there any way to get rid of shadows on a printed page?

3d scanner open image

Lois V

I am scanning and copying pages that have 3D embellishments on them and I keep getting a shadow on the copy. I have tried holding the top of the scanner down to minimize it, and I've tried editing with the eraser, but there has to be an easier way.

Answer
Shadows are created from a light source.

So here is one guess as to why there are shadows. When you scan, there is a light that scans the item. So either you can, keep the lid all the way open. Or keep the lid open and put a cloth/sheet over the item, make sure you have this cloth tight around the whole item, inside any cracks etc..

To help not see the shadow at all, use a dark color (black) sheet.

Are there ways to make sketched anime into real anime?

Tamere

I want to be able to post my drawings on the internet and marvel at it. Also do u guys kno how to make animated anime scenes (like the opening) that'd be awesome!! THX!!! By the way I'm 12 and dnt have a university
degree or whatev (obviously....)

Answer
A scanner will help you get your drawings onto the internet. Photobucket is a good place to post them. Deviantart requires you to be at least 13 to post, but once you're 13, that is another good place to post as well.
To actually do animation, you need special programs for that. I don't know any free programs off the top of my head, but there might be some if you take some time to look around. Just for still digital art, GIMP is a free program. If you wanted a program for still digital art that wasn't free but not outrageously expensive, I would recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements. It's a bit more intuitive to navigate and use than GIMP. 3D Studio Max is a program that can handle 3D animation, but it's very expensive. I know I've heard there is a free program that can do pretty much the same as 3D Studio Max, but I don't know what it is off the top of my head.
