Gregg 13-Sep-2008 [2956] | It will depend, too, on how it needs to be shared. For example, is there a standard way others need to query the data, or you need to query theirs, to compare? Is there a standard line-item model, where vaccination dates are the line items for a particular vaccine? |
Graham 13-Sep-2008 [2957x3] | I'm going to just use rules .... and each rule will consume one of the vaccinations. |
if there is a rule and no vaccination to consume, then there is a vaccination that needs to be done. | |
So, a HIB vaccine ( haemophilus influenzae ) needs to be given at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months = 4 rules | |
Gregg 13-Sep-2008 [2960] | I'm not clear on the exact need, from a code and data design perspective. |
Graham 13-Sep-2008 [2961x3] | the aim is to allow users to create their own rules |
with only the date of a vaccination and the vaccine type known to the rule | |
oh , and the child's dob | |
Gregg 13-Sep-2008 [2964x2] | A checklist that your app generates from rules, for them to use, or to be used in-app by you, with them saying what schedule they want to follow? |
My brain seems to be turned off for the night. Just can't visualize. | |

[unknown: 5] 14-Sep-2008 [2967] | Alan please stop with the posting of periods. It messes up the view for all of us. |
Alan 15-Sep-2008 [2968] | sorry but have 2 Installed Altme under wine on mandriva and it crashed only way 2 synch |
Gabriele 15-Sep-2008 [2969x2] | If anyone manages to figure out how the compress:// scheme works, I'd be happy. |
see system/standard/compress and the error given by open [scheme: 'compress] | |
Geomol 25-Oct-2008 [2971] | I saw a little of a cartoon tv series some time ago, that I can't remember the name of. I think, it was called "Afterlife" or something like that. It was mostly still pictures with very little animation, but lots of atmosphere. The story was kind of confusing but something like after a nuclear war (maybe), and we followed this guy, who was on a run and met some strange people maybe in the countryside in USA. One was kind of a hunter. Anyone knows, what I'm talking about? |
Graham 25-Oct-2008 [2972] | Simpsons? |
Geomol 25-Oct-2008 [2973x2] | nah :P |
A voice was telling the story, and then we followed this guy in the nature. He met a hunter, who learned him to handle a weapon and how to survive. (I think, only saw a little of it.) | |
Graham 25-Oct-2008 [2975] | I think this falls into chat - non webpublic, non rebol :) |
Geomol 25-Oct-2008 [2976] | Yeah, maybe. I was in doubt. |

Henrik 28-Oct-2008 [2978] | All Crossover products are free only today at http://lameduck.codeweavers.com/free/ One license per person. Hurry, if you want one. |
Graham 28-Oct-2008 [2979] | Main Website Temporarily Offline Due to the high volume of traffic for the Lame Duck Challenge Free Offer, we have temporarily disabled the CodeWeavers main website. We apologize for this inconvenience. We still love Digg, even if our server disagrees. ;-) Click Here to get your serial number for CrossOver. |
Henrik 28-Oct-2008 [2980] | The serial number part seems to work here. |
BrianH 28-Oct-2008 [2981] | It comes and goes. It is now one free license per email address, not per person :) |
Henrik 28-Oct-2008 [2982] | Did the US economy worsen through the day? :-) |
Alan 28-Oct-2008 [2983] | they have also extended the offer to 2 days due to the over load |
Henrik 28-Oct-2008 [2984] | now they've put the full versions up for direct download. |
BrianH 28-Oct-2008 [2985] | Yeah, I got those first thing in the morning. I notice that the requests for serial numbers are now split into Mac and Linux - I wonder what that means for the earlier requests where they didn't make that distinction? The offer seems to be the same number of days here, no change. |
Reichart 31-Oct-2008 [2986] | Anyone know of a markup language that outputs flow charts? Something like: (Start) -> [Get input] -> (End) And this would out put a smartly laid out flow chart. |
btiffin 31-Oct-2008 [2987] | Graphviz? Check this hello world to see if it'll float your boat. http://www.graphviz.org/Gallery/directed/hello.html |
Reichart 31-Oct-2008 [2988x2] | I looked at, not sure, I was hoping for something more, er...universal... |
Also, what are the best tools to rip a DVD to an AVI file on Windows. The trick here is (well, a) Windows), but more importantly, that the AVI will have proper keyframes, which seems to be the problem. All the systems we have played with produce AVIs you CAN'T skip through. | |
Sunanda 31-Oct-2008 [2990] | Text to flowchart (not free) http://www.allclearonline.com/ |
Reichart 31-Oct-2008 [2991] | Sunanda, yes, cool, this is more what I'm talking about. Price is not an issue for me, although I always prefer things to be based on standards, so there are free products, and for sale products. |
Sunanda 31-Oct-2008 [2992] | I've used Allclear in the past (I probably still have a DOS license for it!). What's nice is how simple the text dialect is -- or was in those days....I've not checked recently. |
Reichart 31-Oct-2008 [2993] | Yeah, seems so, and they have a split window, which solves a lot of issues. Thank you very much... |
Gregg 31-Oct-2008 [2994] | An old boss of mine swore by AllClear. |
Reichart 31-Oct-2008 [2995] | Wow $340... |
Graham 31-Oct-2008 [2996x2] | excluding tax |
Must be a British product ... strong English accent in the demo | |
Gabriele 1-Nov-2008 [2998] | Reichart: not skipping the AVIs might also be the player? But keep in mind, that to reduce size, keyframes are inserted "rarely" (ie. only when needed) rather than regularly. I've never had problems though with skipping... but I must say I never liked any of the Windows programs to do this. |
Pekr 1-Nov-2008 [2999] | Reichart - there is probably plenty of tools, I usually search DVD to AVI, and it is often also directly name of some tools. As for ripping, I use the combo form Slysoft - CloneDVD, AnyDVD |
Maarten 1-Nov-2008 [3000] | If it is an unencrypted DVD, try to make an ISO, then mount it with Clonedrive. From there on, I tend to use Nero and encode to MPEG-4 - greatly reduces size and is almost universal, especially on mobile devices. Quicktime also support MPEG-4 |
Pekr 1-Nov-2008 [3001] | AnyDVD is cool little tool, which removes all protections .... not sure how it is legal and that the company was not sued yet, but it is different problem ... |
Reichart 1-Nov-2008 [3002x2] | Two things: = The subtle question = We have played with a lot of software, and ALL of them (that we have tried) have failed to produce a final product that works. Meaning, all players (WMplayer, WinAmp, VLC, etc.) do not allow skipping, and, again, keep in mind, this is using Windows tools to Rip, and then encode (usually two products have to be used ). I make this clear because I'm not questioning that this can be done correctly from Linux (or perhaps Mac even). So my question is really "[are you sure] from windows you can produce a 700m avi from a DVD that allows skipping [keyframes] on Windows?" Our search of forums tells us others have the same problem, and people eventually give up and go to linux. (Warning, rant ahead) :) = The law = First, we all have to recognize the laws are slightly different in each country. Part of what makes this confusing is that America tends to set the "tone" for the rest of the world (since it makes the most profitable media in the first place. Not the most media keep in mind, for example Iceland makes more books per person for example). And what makes this really confusing is that America has state and local laws, which can conflict but will still be overruled by federal law. Marijuana is a good example. Some states say YES, and the Feds say NO. So you are still committing a Fed crime if you use this stuff. However in the case of copyright, it is the other way around. Organizations say NO, and the Feds say YES! But the REAL trick here is that software that cracks DVDs is illegal, but having the resultant backup is not. How is that for confusing? Bottom line, there is a fair use act, which stands, but another law that makes getting that fair use to work for you that is illegal. I should probably blog this since I could not find a good example of this clear statement on the web. However, the best thing I could find was just the simple Wikipedia entry for the judge herself that both made the heavy blow, but also defended the other individual rights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Illston Personally, she symbolizes to me the scariest type of person in power. Which is, she became myopic and decided to just solve the one problem in front of her, as opposed to requiring that the issues be solved correctly higher up so that this small problem could be handled. In other words, she saw a leaking toilet, and ruled that the water should be cut off to the bathroom. Then turned around and said, but everyone has a "right" to use the bathroom. It is people like this that allow tyrants to gain power. (end of rant) |
As for me, it is simple, I own all my CDs and DVDs. I simply want access to them using the technology I chose (which I also paid for). I won't share them, copy them to others, etc. Just, want to pay for and enjoy the material, free of the medium. | |
Chris 1-Nov-2008 [3004] | Hasn't Larry Lessig covered this territory? Particularly the tension between Fair Use and DMCA? |
btiffin 1-Nov-2008 [3005] | Side post: In Canada we pay a levy on blank media (that is taxed) to cover "piracy". The CIRPA (and not-for-profit CPCC) have collected $100's of millions and last I heard (I could very well be misinformed as this levy is hidden "to avoid consumer outrage") they have not paid out one dime to any artists, citing that the system to ensure the redistribution to artists is fair hasn't been figured out yet. So the bank account just gets bigger (and I assume, so do the "work" parties they hold for each other). |
