First of all, all other games and software work perfectly in Wine. I installed Sierra's The incredible machine - even more contraptions, which installed fine. No complaints or anything. The game started up nicely and everything seems to work fine, but my mouse buttons do not work at all. It does no register any clicks of my mouse, but I can move around the menus by moving the mouse over a button which highlights it, and then pressi...

Good Morning, I am working on setting up a 12V DC UPS that will power a NAS and a router for a few hours. It contains some lithium-ion batteries, and a BMS to control charging. Since it is just a dumb box with batteries, it has no intelligence to inform the NAS of its status. This is where NUT comes in... I would like to incorporate a Raspberry Pi NUT server into this scheme. The Rpi can

Has anybody found out which is the best glide wrapper to use under recent versions of wine? I'm trying to play some old windows games from the late '90s on my iMac (ATI 5670), most of them do not support neither opengl nor Direct3D, just Glide. I've tried running under Bootcamp / Windows 7, but it seems that right now wine has become more compatible for such software than windows

Tom - here are a few suggestions Plantronics 510SL Bluetooth - they make a bundle that comes with a Bluetooth transceiver and a handset lifter. This is nice if you have users that already have Bluetooth headsets for their mobile phones, as it allows you to sync with their office phone as well. http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat29880043/cat2 9880054/prod5460016

I wonder - do we have some helper/processor/gem to automatically convert all URLs in a passed string to their canonical equivalent - i.e. with the protocol, host and such prepended based on the Rails environment. Super-duper infty for RSS feeds (I hate their requirement for canonical URLs everywhere). -- Julian ''Julik'' Tarkhanov please send all personal mail to me at

I have a channelized T1 coming in from our telco, terminated onto a TE405. There are three channelbanks serving internal analog extensions, and about 10 Cisco 7960s. I have no reports of echo on the analog extensions (as expected). The 7960 users complain of occasional echo (seems like 1 in 5 calls). Only the SIP user hears the echo, not the caller. I have echocancel=yes, echotraining=yes,

This is so frustrating. Is RoR that easy to learn or is it hype or is it just me? I wonder how many newbies like me are surfing the docs trying to get a clue of the basics. Every tutorial I find is much the same, and seems to skip the fundmental parts. How should you understand the Ruby API http://api.rubyonrails.org/? What is < ActionController::Base? Can''t I set a cookie under

Hi. I need to execute a function from within a GUI. This seems to be no problem but this function takes about 4 minutes to finish, which means the application doesn't react at all, while the function is running. Can I execute a function as a separate Thread, while keeping control(e.g. a reference) of it at the same time? If not, how do this with a class containing this function? thanks,

Slightly OT, but I think this is of possible interest to many of you, I need to get a UPS for my asterisk box. They are rated in VA but I can't quite figure out how that converts to real life. I have a PIII-800 box with two X100P and one TDM400P plus graphics adapter, an IDE hard drive etc. Will a small 400VA box be enough for this? tia

Dears; I am facing the following problem: Already we requested from the service provider to enable the auto jumping service for our analoge telephone lines, so because we have 4 telephone lines from the service provider, then if you called line # 1 and it was busy, then the call will be sent to any available line #2 or #3 or #4, and if you call line # 3 and it was busy then the call will be sent
