hooovahh

Very cool, I didn't watch all of it yet. And as a side note since when does youtube have 1080P videos? This video is still only 100MB if you were wondering. EDIT: Also how many takes do you think it took to get right? and at 2:40 how many TVs did they destroy?

According to my registry the installed versions of LabVIEW are 6.0, 6.1, 7.1, 8.0, 8.2, 8.5, 8.6, and 2009, no betas.

Do you realize that zipping and unzipping has been built into Windows explorer since Windows ME? Not that I'm praising Windows Explorer as being the explorer to use. I know that there are many free, and portable alternatives to windows explorer, but I've never tried any. I do however like some of the new things that Windows 7 does. Nothing revolutionary, I just think it's a good balance of new features and simplicity.

Being the LabVIEW enthusiasts as we are, we usually have many versions installed and can down save. I have 8 at the moment, do I hear 9?

Hooovahh: LAVA/NI EDIT: Also I don't know how I feel about coming out of the closet...on LAVA that is.

Jamaican Bobsled Team? Okay fine so I only remember that because of the movie with John Candy in it.

Related? (apple flea). Also the Apple wheel has to be better than Sony's "New Stupid Piece of *** That Doesn't ***ing Work" By the way I censored that link myself, have we tested the profanity filter yet? And if I posted a link that has a bad word in it would the link become broken?

"SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?" (sorry for all caps but I think it was appropriate).

Okay this may just turn into a bacon thread (it is in the LAVA Lounge right?) Ever been to Tony's in Birch Run. You order a side of and it comes with a pound of it. Poor quality but it looks huge. And here's a man enjoying his banana split. http://www.mlive.com...t_in_birch.html Anyone else hungry? I mean if you don't have power then you need to eat what's in the fridge right? Can't let it go bad.

I've never used a fixed width or monospaced font, other than in Notepad where it is Lucida Console 10 point by default. Why would I need a fixed point font? In LabVIEW you can calculate the width of a string based on its font and style, it's been discussed here a couple times.

I will post what has already been done before. I am sorry if you are a normal person with real intentions, but if you insist on posting with this style then I (and I assume other) will consider you a troll. If you want a friendly useful response use only one font for the whole message, one color, and one font style (bold italic etc.) and only capitalize a whole word in extreme situations where you intend to be yelling at the person you are talking to. He has been on the NI forums lately. http://forums.ni.com...ssage.id=473442 http://forums.ni.com...message.id=1098

I'd like to think that if the power went out here I'd be okay for a while, but let's not forget how wide spread power outages can be while here in south east Michigan. If I had to drive 2 hours north before finding a building with electricity I may panic a little.

When you were a kid there was television in Australia? I kid, I kid, I know you had TV but it was in black and white. (Waits to see if Crelf is in a good mood this morning...) I also was confused when I heard that Christmas doesn't consist of snow angels, and snow fights, or snowmobiling but instead BBQs.

Fly north for the winter? Just doesn't have the same ring to it. Not sure how I feel about having fudgies (urban dictionary, the first definition not the other two ) all year round. Does that also mean Snowbirds are going to be endangered?

I tried canceling my subscription to winter last year but it (just like Maxim) keeps coming after canceling. I hear we (Michiganders) should be getting some snow tomorrow, some where between 6-10. Added to the snow on the ground now will make it 6-10 total.

The signal should either be grounded or at 5V, if you leave it disconnected it will float and it sounds like it happens to float above 5V. If you wired the DO to the DI it should work as expected, where it will either be 5V or grounded and not floating.

Interestingly of the 3 things you put on the block diagram (not including wires) I've never used 2 of them. You do know that 420 degrees = 60 degrees? (or is is 420==60) I'm not sure how you would know it is 420 degrees off instead of 60, unless you take a look at the time that each signal starts, and see how many cycles one starts before the other. I have an idea on how to do this in a FPGA type of VI but no clue how it would be done with express VIs.

Down saved to 7.1. Like Antoine said use tabs. Run the VI and see how it works, then right click the tab control and you can make the tabs invisible (that property node doesn't exist in 7.1 apparently) tab example 71.vi)

Exactly, if the publisher decides to sell their book cheaper on Amazon and get 70% of the sale, you may not get any more than you are getting already, but the publisher will get more money, and Amazon will lose more money, but they are banking on the fact that it will bring them more revenue in Kindle sales in the long run. Which I'm guessing it will.

Sorry I came in late. I love the idea of buying a $250 device which will always be connected to the internet and never have a monthly fee...well not for the near future. That alone makes me want to buy a Kindle. Amazon also has a try before you buy, allowing you to download the first chapter of any book in their database for free. I've also heard you can get newspapers delivered automatically to the device. So you wake up in the morning and have you're newspaper. Again I don't read newspapers but if you did it would be nice. They did try a few ideas to put it in consumers hands to try first too. If you owned a Kindle you could opt to allow to meet strangers (in a public place anonymously) to let them try the Kindle for a few minutes to see if they liked it. I don't remember what the perk was but I thought about signing up to play with one. I saw a eReader (I think the Sony one) in a store and I was walking with my wife. Most electronics in the store have a plastic cover over screens, to appear that they are on but it is just a sticker to show a fake interface. I went over to the reader and it looked like it had one of those plastic covers on it, I pushed a button not expecting anything to happen but the page changed. It looked real...I mean it is real but I really liked like nothing I had ever seen before. That being said I'm not much of a reader (wish I was) but imagine if all textbooks were available. When in college I had to carry around a ton of big books all day, (didn't live on campus) Having one of these would have been awesome. Then imagine if it was touch screen, then I could do my home work on the device as well as read the questions. I agree about the DRM crap. Essentially renting a books until the server goes down sucks, but I don't think it would be a big deal for me, I use the books I own now, reading through once would probably be enough for me. I know not all versions support this, but if you have eBooks downloaded, or PDFs then you can put them on the device DRM free. Not sure if anyone has seen this but it looks like soon some books will be available cheaper on Amazon than any other medium. Basically the publishers get a larger cut of the profit from a eBook sale, but they have to allow Amazon to be the cheapest place to get the book. If this happens it will be another big reason to go for the Kindle. Book replacement?...probably not but I love new technology, and like having the option.

I've never used the merge feature, always lock/unlock. But I assume that unless you change some settings the files will still appear locked. And when files are locked they are read-only, which won't allow you to save any changes.

I've seen that feature on Windows 7 but never tried it. I just assumed it did a screen capture recording what was going on as a video file similar to CamStudio. Nice to know it doesn't work like that.

Clarify a few things for me. Do you have the NI serial number? the one that is in this for A11A11111 where A is any alphabetic letter, and 1 is any number. If so go to Start >> National Instruments >> NI License Manager Then find LabVIEW, open its tree and right click any yellow or red boxes and click activate. Then activate using you're NI Serial number. If you don't have the NI serial go buy one. If you don't want to buy one you're out of luck, this is not the place for people that one have that help you.

Very interesting, and Understanding Comics sounds like a good read too.
