Depending on how your company is set up and how secure you have to be a good idea might be to keep the company phone directory handy, tell them to give you their full name and return to their desk and call them BACK at their extension. Don't let them give you their extension, take it from the directory. Also, if each user has a PC with an asset tag number that's associated with their name, you can base it on that. Have them read the tag number over the phone. There's a question about exactly this on a Microsoft certification prep that tells you the correct answer is to remote in and set the password for what they want on their say so. Goes to show you that not everyone is thinking about security.

See, what we need is a Jasager themed Fon sticker.

Darren, the last time you did this weren't you fueled by painkillers? If so, do you feel it gave you an unfair advantage over your competition? Do you feel Vicadin is a pwnage enhancing substance?

oh HO! I can connect and play by myself to the noob server, but nobody else is around. People need to get on that shit STAT!

CURSES! My lack of broadband ruins me yet again.

Sure, you could use any OCR software to take your notes and convert them to editable text. Handwriting is seldom easy to convert though. What we're talking about is snapping a photo of a barcode on a product in a store and having the software do internet queries with it.

Well, the windows version of cut won't let me use " as a delimiter, but this should work in theory: .\bin\djpeg.exe -pnm -grayscale temp.jpg temp.pbm .\bin\gocr.exe -m 4 temp.pbm | .\bin\grep.exe code | .\bin\cut.exe -d " -f 6 which should spit out your UPC. I can get it to work with -d = -f 4, but that gives me something like "BARCODE" crc Waitaminute. Does that thing produce a valid block of XML?

Imagine if you will a bot that could not only add the item to a wishlist, but could ALSO get your location from your iPhone, read the barcode, and respond with a message that says "Hey, you're standing in FYE and that movie is $25 here, but at the Virgin Records two blocks down it's only $20." Actually, their was a service that you could use with a cell phone that worked like a moblog, only you send in your image and it responded with like the top five lowest prices for the item. I forget the name of it though, I believe it's defunct. What you need in there Darren is a little grep and cut ninja action to pull the barcode out. Lemme play with the output here and getcha some commands.

I do believe sir, that it's Dev5 2, Electric Boogaloo, This time it's personal. If anything comes along that I'd be able to help with, I'm happy to lend a hand boss.

Noir was a great series with, I believe, a sub-par stateside release. Bought the first two DVDs, found a lot of transfer artifacts in it, was disappointed that every volume seems to have identical special features. didn't buy the rest.

I'm surprised people still use litestep.

For the three people who still run 98.

Try Ctrl+"break", it's usually in the upper right island of keys on a 101 key keyboard.

Make sure you're running 8.04 or some of that software isn't in the repositories.
