Reviews of crossover for mac12/29/2023 Third, CrossOver is a polished and tested build of Wine, which will reliably run (an admittedly limited) set of applications. Second, our 'Bottles' facility makes it quite easy to install and manage Windows software. First, it's a nice, easy to use GUI you don't have to build it and operate it from the command line. There are several advantages of CrossOver over vanilla Wine. What value does CrossOver Mac have over Wine? We're quite uptight about underpromising, to be candid). (Our gold applications are things like Microsoft Office 2000, which are tried and tested on Linux we never launch a new application at 'Gold' as a matter of principal. I would say that all of those will launch at a 'silver' level, and that as we get feedback from customers, we'll gradually move them to Gold by years end. Our primary focus is going to be on Outlook 2003, Project 2003, Visio 2003, Quicken, and the Steam-based games such as Half Life 2. ![]() There is a very small number of applications that we officially support that are worthy of the tag 'gold', and then there is a much greater number of applications that 'just work'. How many fully functional, or "gold," applications will be available when CrossOver Mac comes out of beta? That's the catch, which was the starting point for a few questions for the folks at CodeWeaver. ![]() Unfortunately, I do need to run Internet Explorer for Windows from time to time, which is why I was intrigued by Crossover Mac.ĬrossOver Mac 6.0 was released during Macworld, offering Mac users the ability to run Windows applications without Windows. Being a member of the 4 percent of a market of 3 percent of computer users who want to stick it to The Man, I am Mac-native by philosophy. Full disclosure requires that I not only admit I own Parallels and am looking at the VMWare Fusion beta, but that I don't really need to run Windows on my Mac.

Army, on custom tents used for recruiting. manufacturer in the business of custom pop-up tents and structures, and we’ve been fortunate enough to work with major organizations, like the New York City Police Department and U.S. In this case, the employer needs to sell them on all of that and more at a college career fair. Potential employees not only want good wages, but also a job that provides upward mobility and a supportive culture. While the restaurant and hospitality industries appear to be the hardest hit by this worker shortage, major companies - the kind that historically visits college campuses in hopes of attracting the most promising students to their business - are also struggling. At the same time, only 8.7 million people were still unemployed. In June 2021, there were 10 million available jobs. Thankfully, in-person college career fairs return to campuses this year and in 2022 - a huge opportunity for employers looking to land entry-level talent, but also a huge challenge. Instead of heading to campus for a traditional job fair, employers were forced to rely on virtual career fairs, which is not the easiest way of selling a student on your company.

Biggest freshwater fish12/29/2023 The tag will now be used to track the stingray’s movement and learn more about its behavior. Zeb Hogan, fish biologist at the University of Nevada, said the record-breaking catch “highlights how little we know about a lot of these giant freshwater fish. The biggest freshwater fish caught anywhere, ever, was captured and released last week near Koh Preah Island on the Mekong River in the Stung Treng area of northern Cambodia. ![]() The research team helped with two large stingray discoveries, but neither of those instances come close to Thun’s catch.īoramy was measured, weighed and tagged by researchers before getting released back into the river. They were already in northern Cambodia on a separate project and had previously requested that local fishermen contact them in the event that they found something significant in the area. According to CNN, a dozen people helped retrieve the stingray, which was given the name “Boramy,” or “full moon” in the Khmer language, an homage to its unique shape.Īfter Boramy was taken to shore, researchers from the Wonders of Mekong were contacted. Cambodian villagers on the Mekong River have caught what researchers say is the worlds biggest freshwater fish ever recorded, a stingray that weighed in at 661 pounds (about 300 kilograms), and. These fish also have a long lifespan, living to 100 years and older. The largest recorded beluga sturgeon was almost 20 feet long and over 7,000 pounds. The total population number and location are often a mystery, but you can recognize these fish by their brown-gray color, full and flat body top, and longer whippy tails. More than that, she measured 13 feet long from snout to tail, making Boramy the largest freshwater fish ever discovered. The Giant Freshwater Stingray is considered one of the largest freshwater fish because of its towering long 8-foot length and heavy 1300 pounds weight. The stingray, who locals named ‘Boramy’, which means ‘full moon’ in Khmer, weighed in at a whopping 661 pounds. ![]() This massive fish can reach over 15 feet long and weigh upwards of 2,500 pounds. The previous record for world’s largest freshwater fish was a Mekong giant catfish that weighed 646 pounds. The female stingray was caught on June 13 by 42-year-old fisherman Moul Thun near the remote island of Koh Preah on the Mekong River. The beluga sturgeon in Russia is the largest freshwater fish in the world. Researchers believe the 13-foot-long, 661-pound stingray hooked in Cambodia earlier this month is the largest freshwater fish ever caught in the world, NBC News reports.

Fog machines12/29/2023 So in order to keep the submerged atomizer from overheating you will have either run it for very short periods of time or add frozen ice packs or even just frozen water ice to keep the water temperature (and the atomizer) cool. The atomizer is using about 300W of power to atomize the water into fog and a large portion of that will go into the water as heat. If you want you can plug the atomizer power supply and fan power supply into a remote controlled switch. You should now have fog pouring out of the duct! Air movement is needed to get the fog expanding and billowing. Any fog moving up toward the lip of the bucket just evaporates before it goes over it. The fog will not overflow the bucket, it just settles into the bottom of the bucket. ![]() You can watch it work and fill the bucket partly with fog. No consumables but water and electricity! These high output atomizers are not cheap (~$200) but dump out tons of fog, low lying fog, without any carbon dioxide gas. You can get high capacity pond foggers that will produce large amounts of fog (using >2 liters of water an hour). Many years ago I saw the fog potential of ultrasonic humidifiers and 'plumbed' the output of one of them via a hose into a jack-o-lantern to have fog creeping out of its mouth.įast forward to today. Ultrasonic humidifiers use this method to produce the visible mist being blown out of them. ![]() The surface of the water breaks up into fine droplets fog. This is where a piezoelectric disk is electrically pulsed to vibrate at ultrasonic frequencies with a shallow layer of water over it. Here is the new fog method - Ultrasonic Atomization. There are tons of Insturctables how to build one of these fog chillers.ģ. 'Fog Machine' fog tends to disperse all around you as if in a London Fog, so if you want it to hang near the ground you have to chill it. I eventually purchased a Rosco unit and have since purchased consumer 'fog machines' of various sizes at big box retailers on clearance after Halloween so that now I have 3 (or more, not really sure how many I have -). He had a professional Rosco unit that was really built like a tank and pumped out tons of smoke. My commercial photographer friend, Kelly, introduced me to this type of 'fog' machine. These are used at concerts to make the beams of light/lasers show up, and traditional low lying fog too. ![]() I like to think of these as smoke machines more than fog machines. Heated 'Fog Machines' that heat glycol-based or glycerin-based 'Fog Juice' to spray out a plume of white smoke/fog. I once had a small room filled with dry ice fog and it became apparent by the coughing and faster breathing that there was too much carbon dioxide in the room - Exit NOW if you find yourself in such circumstances!Ģ. I've built a couple of contraptions to make using dry ice fog easier.Ī safety note - Dry Ice is solid (frozen) Carbon Dioxide and in addition to being extremely cold (-109.3☏ / -78.5☌), causing instant cold 'burns' on contact (use insulated gloves), it can present a suffocation hazard because the carbon dioxide gas evaporating off of dry ice will displace the normal air around you and deprive you of oxygen. You could pull your car right into their warehouse and purchase however much dry ice you wanted without leaving your car. When I lived in San Jose, California there was a company called Able Carbonic near the airport that had a Dry Ice Drive Through around Halloween - it was great!. It was great, but you had to go get the dry ice and be very careful handling it. Dry Ice was my first introduction to fog - Dry Ice dropped into hot water provided LOTS of dense low-lying fog. Everybody loves fog, Theatrical Fog that is - Especially at Halloween, and there are many ways to make it:ġ.

Jmol reappear after hiding12/29/2023 Of the two, loading the machine takes much longer. One is to load the java machine, the other is to load the applet. While interesting in concept, the execution of this task is not trivial because Oracle (formerly Sun) leaves it to each browser to create the Jave plugin for their own browser so how they behave varies from browser to browser and is annoyingly inconsistant. For example, if the user needs to log in or needs to search a catalog of molecules prior to displaying one, the time required for those processes can be used to preload Java and the applet(s) so that when it comes time to display the molecule, it looks instantanious. In certain web page designs, it is possible to preload Java and the applet(s) while the user takes care of other housekeeping functions so that when they are needed, they are present and there is no need for the user to be advised of the delay. The long time it takes for Java and Jmol to load leads to a the need to let users know what is going on as described in the section above. How to preload Java and the Jmol Applet in background Therefore, it is important that if you put a "please wait" message using echo, you follow it with a refresh command that way, the message will be shown and stay there until Jmol finishes its task (often, you will need to remove the message then). loading a file or calculating an isosurface), the display is not updated.
