How are you immersing your kids in technology?

My kids are kind of techine nerds like me.
My son (12) wants to start up a Kickstarter or similar page to fund a new super computer and software needed to start his own Twitch channel.

Spicy moms and dads, this thread is for you! (Okay, I guess it can be for spicy aunts and uncles too...)Children nowadays have no shortage of high tech toys to play with... I've seen three year olds with iPads and seven year olds that teach their parents how to use a laptop. And don't even get me started on the ages of some of these kids that have smartphones. All of this is a true sign of the times. But in addition to the basic technology, there are so many different tools to teach kids about the technology they're using and how to code. One fun tool I came across this week is something calledLocoRobo. LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS!What child wouldn't want to learn with this thing?! Even I want to play around with it. So what does this thing do? It's goal is to teach kids how to become programmers. LocoRobo is just a start up but they're...

How are you keeping your Apple keyboards clean in student labs?

I might be able to manage the software with ARD - but how do you clean out the keyboards? It's like they were built as dirt collectors.
And - Can ARD be used to admin. Macs on different vlans within a Win 2000 & 2003 server env.? Any tips, tricks re: this?
Thanks!

I might be able to manage the software with ARD - but how do you clean out the keyboards? It's like they were built as dirt collectors.
It's pretty much impossible to keep computer lab keyboards clean unless you use a keyboard skin. Otherwise, you just have to wipe them down and blow them out every now and then and hope for the best.
Can ARD be used to admin. Macs on different vlans within a Win 2000 & 2003 server env.?
Yes. No special "tricks" are necessary; just set the ARD scanner to scan the appropriate range in the VLAN so you can see and add the computers and it should work without problems (we have multiple VLANs here and ARD works just fine).

How are you liking your iBrick? Ive had mine for 79 hours now!

Listen everyone this is important.
DONT WAIT FOR AN E-MAIL!!!
Call them as many times as you can because there is most likely something wrong with your account!
If you continue waiting for that e-mail you have a better change of getting hit by lightning 40 times in a row on a blue sky day. Because it WONT COME since there may be something wrong with your account.
Here is what happened to me- it wasn't pretty. A loyal customer of AT&T for 7 years... the first to ask them about the iPhone in January, the first in line, and the LAST to get activated.
After calling them, I found out these problems- each from a different call, each from a different person.
1- My business account froze the system and prevented me from receiving an activation
2- I was on the old "blue" network instead of the "orange" network. I've been a loyal AT&T customer for 7 years and didnt find this out until now, this also prevented me from getting an e-mail (and they are now charging me $40 more a month to have the exact same plan... then add $30 more per month for the data plan!!)
3-After all the rigmarole over there, the AT&T reps forgot to activate my data plan... whups!
4-There was a random system error associated with my account which also prevented the e-mail
5-They had the wrong sim card going in for activation somehow.
and the granddaddy...
6-The idiots at the cingular store accidentally deactivated my sim card in my iPhone.
Wow- I'm glad AT&T doesn't perform open heart surgery, because I would be dead as soon as I set foot in the waiting room.
My advice if your phone still isnt working... Go to your AT&T store and ask them for a clean blank sim card and start over. I did it and my phone popped on within 5 minutes!!! Waiting around for 79 hours for something that I resolved MYSELF in 5 minutes!!
I hope this helps someone if anyone.
I hope this disproves that the switch theory applies to EVERYONE ON THE PLANET
the iPhone is beautiful

I finally got my number ported over from Sprint this morning, but it took a phone call to AT&T to make it happen. I received my email two days ago stating that my Sprint number was transferring to my iPhone and that I'd receive an email when the transfer was complete. In the mean time, I could use my iPhone for outgoing calls but I would be unable to receive them. So, I kept my Sprint phone on so I could receive phone calls.
Turned out that the hangup was me keeping my old Sprint phone on so I could receive phone calls. Within a minute of turning it off, I received an SMS message stating that my number transfer was complete and I could make calls as well as receive them on the iphone. The AT&T support tech called my iPhone to confirm that it would in fact receive calls.
Had I known this two days ago... (sigh).

How are you sure your phone has been unlocked?

Wondered how you are sure that you phone is unlocked before you ship it??

How are you outputting your 24fps projects to tape?

Hi There,
I am just looking for any input on how everyone is laying down there 24fps projects to tape? We have found a method that seems to be working - but is very tedious and not perfect...
Here is the lowdown:
1080p23.98 ProRes HQ sequence -----> outputting to Kona LHe Card -----> To Sony DVW-A500 D-Beta Deck.
At this point, we are getting the Kona card to add the pulldown because of the dramatic increase in quality over FCP - BUT because we are going from a NDF timecode to a DF format there are the obvious sync and drift issues.
So here is what we did:
- created a sequence with the exact same settings as our normal FCP output sequence (1080p23.98) and dropped in an hour of bars with TC reader.
- Output this sequence to tape.
- The use the deck to go to the all the in and out point timecodes we will need - ON THE DECK ITSELF. Then check the broadcast monitor, to see what the timecode on the bars reads and insert a marker in the timeline for our inpoint and outpoint.
This way, although our output sequence looks a little funny in FCP (say for example, one minute or bars will actually look 2 frames short) by the time it goes to tape with the pull down inserted, it ends up the right length.
Now, the problem we are having is we can only seem to get as close as being a half frame from perfect. Our 1 frame two beep will either enter a half frame early or a half frame late, depending on where it is located in FCP - up until now we have always just accepted this, but it can be frustrating because it makes inserting any changes in an episode not possible. This is the same regardless of whether the tape was pre-striped and episodes inserted OR Assembled to tape.
If anyone has any alternates that are working better for them, it would be greatly appreciated!
NOTE: Outputting a 29.97 NDF tape is NOT a valid option - because aside from commercials, this would never be accepted by a broadcaster.
Thanks again.

No such thing as a "half frame" in video. Audio, yes, video...no. Full frames only.
This is what I used to do:
http://lfhd.blogspot.com/2006/09/online-workflow-overview.html
This is what I do now:
http://lfhd.net/2008/10/22/timecode-calculator/
Figure out what my NDF timing has to be to hit the proper DF timing when outputting. But if I had to meet Discovery/NatGeo specs of needing commercials to hit on 00 frames...then I wouldn't work in 23.98 NDF timelines...nor shooting formats.

How do you stop your kid from changing the plan?

I can't actually call a number? There's none listed on this site. I need to stop my kid from changing the plan from 3 gig to 10 bc I can't afford it and I'm going to end up canceling the service if I can't get help. They shouldn't be able to do this. I e had nothing but problems from the start. First getting a used iPad and used phone out of the 3 and being locked out bc the previous owner had I tunes passwords on the phone and on the iPad. Then I was told I was signing up for the next plan and that wasn't so now I have a crapload of extra charges because I can't get ahold of anyone to try to fix this. I'm so frustrated I could blow up!!!

Put a passcode on the account. That way, he will have to know the passcode to change the plan. If he doesn't know the passcode, he can't change the account.

How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID?

How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID? A good example is if you are forced to change your email, which you use as your Apple ID. what if it is a security app and you lose a lot of data if you lose the app? Why are the apps tied to the Apple ID rather than the user? Why is it impossible to globally change the Apple I D?

All content is tied to the account, but you can change the primary email address on an account e.g. you can log into your account via the Store > View Account on your computer's iTunes and there should be an Edit button to the right of your account id on your account's page, or similarly on your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and view your account. Or you can update it by logging into it via this page http://appleid.apple.com . You shouldn't lose any content on the account if you update it.
After updating the account you may need to log out of your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version for it to be 'refreshed' on it

How are you guys powering your laptops in your cars ???

Hi guys,
Although I have been using computers since the first pc appeared, I only recently decided to get a laptop. I got a Lenovo B560 and have been absolutely delighted with it.
However, I am perplexed at the fact that there does not seem to be any easy options for using the laptop in the car on long trips etc ? I do not see any type of 12 volt adapter listed in the accessories ?? A google search shows a few "generic" brand power converters but I have always been leary of using anything but oem type equipment.
Anyway, how are you guys powering your machines while mobile ??
Thanks,
Bill

Your tip size is 2.5mm x 5.5mm, 19volts, and your current adapter is 90watts, right?
Your tip size is the same as what is in the y450, y460, y550p, y550, y560, and the y730.
The y730 is listed under the adapter listed above as taking the 4R 4319 tip, which is the same size as yours.
The tip, Pt. # 46 4319 is listed as an optional tip for the ultraslim adapter, Pt. #4IN8460, that tip has to be ordered separately from the adapter, it doesn't come with it.
Scroll to the bottom of the link for the adapter and you'll see the listing for the 19 volt tip, pt. #4R 4319.
All this is assuming that you have integrated graphics.

Hello gentlemen how are you. All your base are belong to us ????

My X server just shut down leaving me with a black screen full of messages, mostly relating to vlc.
In the middle of all this was the above message.
Do we have a developer with a sense of humour or is this something I should be worried about?
I never run the system as root although I usually leave a root terminal open.
Bizarre.

This is ringing many, many bells with openbox.
*scratches head*
*greps openbox source*
-> grep -r "your base are" *
Binary file openbox/.libs/openbox matches
openbox/mainloop.c: fprintf(stderr, "How are you gentlemen? All your base are"
Binary file openbox/openbox_openbox-mainloop.o matches
->
Hm, maybe someone decided to get all funny with their error messages like the OB devs did... or maybe it was the other way around.
The most likely cause is that this message is a SIGSEGV (segmentation fault) trap - a message that is printed to std{out|err} when the app crashes, since OB prints the AYB when it's crashed too.
You can actually segfault apps manually with `kill -SIGSEGV <PID>' or killall -SIGSEGV <processname>'
