If you have tried to use the same computer workstation to run multimedia training programs sold by different vendors or created with different authoring tools, you may have found it difficult or impossible. Ditto if you’ve tried to use your company’s online training-administration system to track students’ progress through computer-based training (CBT) courses created with authoring tools that turned out to be incompatible with the system. For instance, if you built the course with Macromedia’s Authorware and your administration system isAsymetrix’s Librarian, you ...继续阅读 (14)

Procrastination is a dangerous thing when it comes to any situation; this is especially true in the case of office operations. For instance, if you really need to fix your broken RAID array and you are sitting on it and notcalling a RAID 5 recovery expert for immediate assistance,? you are bound to suffer substantial losses. You may have thought that it is just data and that it is not a big deal. You may also be under the illusion that your assistant has taken the required backups. What if you turned out to be wrong? What if your assistant is also a procrastinator and the data is truly lost? W ...继续阅读 (10)

When a competing product is scanned at the point of sale, a store-specific, short-dated coupon is automatically printed for a supporting vendor’s product. Manufacturers like the program because it ensures that their marketing dollars are aimed directly at consumers who buy the type of product they’re selling. And retailers see the program as both a value-add to their customers and as one more way to entice customers to return to their store soon.With so many transactions passing through its systems,Catalina Marketingwas in what was at once an enviable and a frustrating position.

MORE THAN 22 MILLION U.S. HOME-BASED businesses vie for attention from an increasingly discriminating marketplace.

When it comes to avoiding food poisoning, most people know not to eat their burgers medium-rare. But the cantaloupe in the fruit salad, the lettuce in the grocery store’s produce section, and the unpasteurized apple juice in the fridge are all safe, right?Actually, produce isn’t immune to disease-causing agents, including E. coli O157:H7, a potentially deadly bacterium that can bring on stomach cramps, diarrhea, and even kidney failure. Not long ago, a 16-month-old Colorado girl died and 69 people were sickened after drinking unpasteurized apple juice contaminated with E. coli. (A ...继续阅读 (8)

“The biggest mistake I made when I first purchased a scanner was believing that I could just plug and play.” So says Jim Pavelle, owner of Imag-In Creative Services, who thought he could hook up his Umax 630 scanner to his Mac Quadra and immediately produce full-color images of his scenic home state of Hawaii.He was stunned when the test images that “looked absolutely gorgeous onscreen yielded film separations that were much too saturated for offset printing.” And no amount of diddling with Photoshop’s hue and saturation controls could correct the color shifts.

Did you know that a woman with breast cancer living in or near Neenah, WI, is four, times more likely than one living in or near Ormond Beach, FL, to have a mastectomy instead of a breast-sparing lumpectomy;That’s just one statistic showing that when it comes to health care, geography is often destiny.

Because of the simplicity of its design, the EcoDry L can offer extended periods of completely “dry” operation.Producing low-cost, oil-free, maintenance-free mechanical pumps for roughing/backing applications has been the goal of vacuum pump manufacturers for the past 20 years. One impediment to attaining this objective has revolved around eliminating oil, which plays many roles in the operation of mechanical pumps. Not only does oil reduce friction between the sliding and rolling elements inside the pump, it also seals vacuum compartments and conducts heat away from the pump’ ...继续阅读 (6)

Thirty years after she thought she had bid her counselors good-bye forever, Patricia Marx returns for a summer camp reunion and discovers that Pinecliffe hasn’t changed. She has.From the age of 9 to 14, I spent two months every summer at Camp Pinecliffe, a girls’ camp in Maine that stressed competitive sports and, if I remember correctly, desserts. Last summer I returned to Pinecliffe for the Alumnae 80th Anniversary Celebration Weekend. I wondered how the camp had changed, but mostly, I wondered if I–who today would rather not share a room with myself, let alone bats and spi ...继续阅读 (7)

It’s the voice in your head telling you yes, you should save that scrap of tinfoil, and no, it’s not okay to buy the really soft toilet paper. Your spending quirks and what they say about you.It’s ten o’clock on Saturday morning, and I’m standing at the bathroom sink, saving money. In my left hand, I’m holding a nearly full bottle of hand lotion, in my right, a nearly empty one, with a pump that no longer reaches the lotion at the bottom. I’m attempting to pour the contents of the old into the new when it occurs to me that I’ll be standing here a ...继续阅读 (8)

For savers and conservative investors nothing is more popular than Series EE Savings Bonds. They’re issued by the government and designed for those who don’t want to risk losing any money. Some $5.3 billion worth were sold in the last fiscal year. Buyers think of them as simple and safe.Safe, yes. But they’re not always as simple as you may think–especially in view of the many changes that have been made in recent years. Here are answers to the savings-bond questions I get asked most often:1. WHAT DO I PAY?You pay half the bond’s face value. A $50 bond costs $25 ( ...继续阅读 (6)

Which is right?I’ve never been this guy to get into the war of Linux versus Windows, or Apple versus Windows or basically any of the other operating systems that are fringe players. In fact, if you listen the most people, you would think that there is some kind of epic war that is taking place on a day-to-day basis. The problem is, there is not. I I’m not trying to downgrade the overall importance of operating systems, which is clearly quite huge, but on the other hand I feel like everything is a little bit overdone most of the time. I think we have to accept the fact that windows ...继续阅读 (11)

Rita Bernstein of Wilton, CT, was pleased when daughters Chelsea, 7, and Haylee, 3, developed a taste for mesclun salad. Samantha, 10, wasn’t a fan of fancy greens, nor was their father, Larry. But none of them dreamed that such a healthful food would nearly destroy their family.One night in June 1996, after several meals that had included the salad, Rita and the two girls developed severe cramps and diarrhea. Over the next 48 hours, Rita improved, but her daughters grew sicker. “The diarrhea was uncontrollable; both girls were becoming dehydrated,” Rita recalls. “Hayle ...继续阅读 (7)

If you said to me that I would take a couple of years offer programming in general and take a look at my family and really see the world, I would’ve said that I am just not that that the guy. I guess being a somewhat conservative fellow in general ( not in politics, of course :), I just always thought that something like a sabbatical would be a little bit extravagant for me. I have certainly enjoyed programming for most of my life, and certainly I have appreciated working with thePython platformmore than any other. As far as I’m concerned, this program language still as a serious f ...继续阅读 (10)

Most parents notice, when their infant first begins to learn how to use his hands, that the child first learns to reach for whatever it is he wants with one hand. Grasping with one hand accomplished, he embarks on a period of trying to grasp everything with two hands, using the naive theory: “One hand good. Two hands better.” Eventually, the child learns that, while some things are done better with both hands, there are many times when the second hand doesn’t help, and may even get in the way.The same phenomenon appears in laboratory automation. While more automation is alway ...继续阅读 (12)

Although photographic evidence was crucial to his reports, Clarke had no satisfactory way to reproduce and transmit his images without incurring unacceptable losses in resolution and contrast quality while relying on Polaroid prints. Now he can transmit them worldwide as digitally captured by storing them as files on a local area network server.Clarke uses three digital imaging systems, including a scanning electron microscope, in his lab at Case. The most used system, however, is the Kodak MegaPlus camera, model 1.6i/AB, which he relies on for grayscale imaging. The camera employs a 9 x 13-mm ...继续阅读 (8)
