RockRaines Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 04:42 PM) I don't think any laptop can run a VM farm effectively. But the hospital thing he was talking about can definitely work better with hybrids. I actually see much lighter weight machines in hospitals nowadays. The last 3 projects ive worked on in healthcare has been on using proximity cards to authenticate a user to a terminal and then single log off when they leave. Essentially deploying a moving desktop wherever they are so they dont have to touch anything really. Cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling I knew him when I found out who he works for so went back and checked a PM when I bought Sox tickets from him a few years ago, just crazy.

chw42 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) So Google has already developed Google Now for iOS...the caveat is that it appears that Apple may not approve it. I guess this is really a double-edged sword for Apple. If you approve it, it'll be one less advantage for Android vs. iOS, which could result in higher sales of iOS devices. But if you're Apple, doing that basically says, "yeah, we'll allow your great app in our App Store, even though it sort of goes against our guidelines, but it better be really really good or else we won't approve it". If they deny it, people might get displeased at Apple being anti-competitive. Plus, iOS users lose out on a great feature. They lose something either way.

RockRaines Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 If you're watching the games on CBS's site you can log on with your local provider and see OAuth converted into SAML then an authentication in your providers user store then back to SAML and back with an OAuth authorization token. This all happens in about 2 seconds. Cool s*** for nerds like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 When I got the 70", I realized I needed a new sound system too...did some research on best bang for your buck, and ended up picking up a Sony receiver on sale, two Klipsch floorstanding speakers that were on sale (apparently because they were in a cherry finish, the other finishes were not on sale), and an Energy sub. Couldn't be happier with the setup. I wanted something that wasn't overly complicated, but that packed a little more punch than an all-in-one box system or a soundbar. Very solid for both movies and music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Can anyone help with the configuration of a wireless repeater? I've been having nothing but problems with this thing since I tried installing it a couple of weeks ago. It's the TP-Link WA701ND if that helps.

Do you have the primary router enabled to allow extending of the network and then have the secondary in bridge mode (maybe called repeater mode) depending on the brand. Some don't distinguish the difference in bridge/repeat and some do. Edited March 25, 2013 by Y2HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the kind of wireless routers you have you usually go to your gateway IP in a web browser to being up its settings. Somewhere there should be an option that allows the network to be extended/bridged, that's usually the first step in accomplishing this. I'd have to look up your particular router types to help beyond basics. Also, some don't like working with each other, it's often best to have the same brands to repeat/extend a network.

Did a quick search on that brand, and if your primary router is the same one it does need to be configured into repeater mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are trying go use your new wireless router to extend your existing wireless network that you have running off of the WNR100? It's possible they won't play well together, but you can try it. I've not used either of these, but somewhere in the settings -- on both -- will be a way to extend the network, unless the WNR100 doesn't support it. Hard to find much info on the WNR100, everything tries to point me to a WNR1000, which seems to be newer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
