Re: Outdated Medical Software

That milk situation is suffering from the same things that the oil industry is seeing right now. In fact quite a few industrial suppliers are at a stand still due to the lack of demand. I don't quite understand why the industrial supply chain can't convert over to consumer manufacturing. We don't re...

Re: Outdated Medical Software

It's good to know that all this outreach isn't confined to where I live. It's just all kind of new to me but probably has been going on since Adam. Maybe part of the motivation is our age. I sometimes hear or read things encouraging people to check up on their elders and older neighbors. It never oc...

Re: The Rest Of The Story

Aside from the server logs there are several different analytic programs I can run from the server to see the site's stats. It's pointless these days but back when we had some real traffic it was interesting to see where people came from and migrated to. I think if you're selling something those num...

Re: 5G vs Visible Light

One of the arguments protagonist of globalism offer is that outsourcing overseas make those countries more economically dependent upon our business and less likely to be aggressive. I'm convinced that is the main reason China has not totally annihilated us yet. But, as you suggest, politics should n...

The Rest Of The Story

I think every server, and maybe all other computers too, have what is called access log files. This is a file containing useful information about nodes that access the computer which is compiling the log file. Time and date and IP address is all standard documentation. There can be other information...

Re: Outdated Medical Software

Something really strange is going on in Missouri. I don't know if the same things are happening up in Chicago-land, but I'm here now and only have memories of the past. Those memories don't include what I'm observing here. I know this is a pandemic and people sometimes are at their best in a crisis ...

Re: 5G vs Visible Light

Some of the shops operate like a flea market but are housed inside a building so that they can operate year around. The store buyer will scrounge the world for the cheapest possible deals, such as buying the inventory from a company that burned down; a fire sale. Then there are places like Home Depo...

Re: 5G vs Visible Light

I noticed your absence yesterday and checked in often to see if you posted anything. There was some lag at times but I never saw a maintenance or a server limit error. Well, that was yesterday. Today the first thing was a 508 error which prompted me to head on over to the help desk and complain. All...

Re: Outdated Medical Software

I have mixed feelings about getting my hair cut during the world's worst pandemic in 100 years. I am pretty sure, but not positive, the shop I go to is open. I suppose they might qualify for essential business status. Well the whole process must needs be up close and personal. It's not like shopping...

Re: 5G vs Visible Light

Trouble ticket opened, and here is the response: I have researched the issue and found that the server entry process was reached the quota which was causing the error "Resource Limit Is Reached". I have killed a few long-running PHP processes to resolve the issue. Now, the website bfchat....

Re: Outdated Medical Software

My father-in-law, may he rest in peace, had one of the first open heart surgeries at the Loyola School of Medicine. It wasn't exactly experimental, but he had to agree to allow students to work on him. He lived quite a few years after that surgery and always credited it to the students who worked on...

Re: 5G vs Visible Light

Your scheme to replace a battery with a capacitor is an interesting idea. Most capacitors the physical size of a battery won't hold a charge for very long and the one minute you cite seems about right. The attention span of a kid doesn't go much beyond that. However, the capacitor you need to use fo...

Re: Outdated Medical Software

I dread the thought of dentures. Just about everyone I know who wears them has problems. I have a mouth full of fillings in just about every tooth and that seems to be holding up pretty well. It's very unusual too given how many years some of those fillings have been in place. I have two upper molar...

Re: 5G vs Visible Light

It would have been uncharacteristic of you to not take care of the heat produced by your amateur radio station. Thank you for the explanation of what is not seen in that picture. There are a multitude of reasons why clueless people exist in this world. A lot of it has to do with mental deficiencies ...

Re: Outdated Medical Software

It's interesting that you should mention the Washington School of Dentistry. After I built my house in the Chicago suburbs, I moved about ten miles from my previous residence. That was just enough to put me out of the range of any doctors I had seen previously. I didn't need a lot of dental work, bu...

Re: 5G vs Visible Light

That's quite an impressive ham shack; the kind stereotypes are made of. LOL I guess Heathkits were OK, but by the time I got around to setting up a station they were not the preferred way to go. It didn't stop me from building a few kits, however. It's hard to tell from the picture but all that equi...

Re: Outdated Medical Software

The first dentist I ever visited was old school. He had a drill that was operated like an old sewing machine. There was a foot peddle that he pumped to make the drill he was using on my molars work. That was amazing enough, but he only gave Novocaine to you as a option if you requested it. I recall ...

Re: 5G vs Visible Light

Sometimes it reads like you are making up all these stories. But, I had a very creative uncle too who came up with more than a few unique ideas about how to do things. He was an artist, however, and not a mechanical engineer. Like your uncle mine could do anything if you can imagine it. One of the m...

Re: Outdated Medical Software

Your memories of doctors go back to prehistoric times. LOL Those country doctors came out of an era where people actually looked after each other. In the current century it's more like a business than a caring friendship. Part of the change is due to there simply not being enough doctors to take car...

Re: 5G vs Visible Light

There is a local newsletter e-mailed to people who subscribe (for free). Some of it has q/a type entries, others are selling and giving away things, and still others advertise commercially. I subscribe and it's interesting to see what the neighbors are bitching about sometimes. A few days ago somebo...
