From the IT side server setup is a breeze and rather lightweight. ![]() From the user side they really don't have to do much in order for the software to work. This has been a great benefit to our business. When using the fonts on the user side their fonts turn on and off automatically so you are not having too many activate fonts at a time. For our users they have an easy to access and use font library that is catered to the needs of their specific department or group. From the IT side of things this makes managing our fonts much easier and much more streamlined while reducing font corruption to a zero. Additionally we have one central repository for our fonts that our creative users can pull from. The biggest benefit is company wide management of our fonts to make sure that we have the correct licensing levels. We have several different departments which require differ Wow, wow, wow image being able to create workgroups of different fonts on the fly for your staff, imagine that staffer being able to see what the header or subtext looks like with any font they choose immediately. Extensis being the company that it is though did not rest on it's laurels, it ante'd up with Universal Type Server. ![]() We were happy with Font Reserve, we finally were able to manage our fonts remotely and the user interface was nice for our staff, it was a game changer for us. Extensis showed us Font Reserve, at the time its stand-alone and client-server software that had been newly acquired and it promised to do everything that we were looking for. We looked at 3 different factors, ease of use for our staff, manageability for our Techs and of course cost. We looked at several different Font management softwares but none could do what Extensis was offering. Anytime an account would hand us a new font they wanted to run in their ad we would have to deploy a team to go through all the desktops once again so that our staff had the same font in the off chance that they got the ad in question and needed to make a change. Before the publishing company I work for switched from ATM (Adobe Type Manager) to UTC we would have our IT technicians going through 200 plus Mac desktops throughout the company verifying that everyone had the same fonts in the same location on their local machines, this was a logistics nightmare.

![]() There’s the common “ruler” at the top of the TextEdit window, and tabs can be added for aligning text. Oddly enough, it can be used as a kind of “mini word processor” as it includes the ability to use different typefaces, sizes and styles, can justify text (align it with margins), even create numbered or bulleted outlines. Probably the most unsung app included with OS X is TextEdit. Don’t need the different header styles, footnotes, and tables of contents? Then a text editor might be the better choice. ![]() If you’re looking for something that can create beautifully formatted text or include images and tables, then a word processor like Pages or Microsoft Word is going to do the job for you. The best way to delineate the difference between a text editor and a word processor is the level of formatting that the program can apply to text. For programmers and web developers, text editors evolved with the ability to highlight certain types of code in different colors to ensure that everything was properly formatted - in other words, that brackets were closed, that a certain code had a corresponding “close” code, etc. Of course, this meant that the programs became more difficult to use, and I personally recall some word processing applications from the late 1980s that were incredibly complex with a long learning curve.īut for many people, text editors were and are the easiest way to just quickly type out text and get it into a computer readable format. By applying formatting codes to text, it was possible to do all of those things that you couldn’t do with a plaintext editor. When the first word processing programs came out, they started making things fancier. There was no way to center text, bold-face headlines, justify text to your margins - it was just text on a screen, printed on a dot-matrix printer. Originally, if you wanted to write a letter or book on a computer, you used a plaintext editor to type in your document and then print it out. Text editors have been around since the first days of the personal computer revolution. Today’s Friday Five looks at five popular OS X text editors, what they’re best used for, and why you may want to consider using them instead of traditional word processing applications like Pages or Word. Primarily used to generate plain text files with no styling or formatting, they can be used for a huge number of purposes from taking quick notes to editing websites or writing application code. Text editors are the unsung heroes of the Mac. Each week, the Friday Five takes a quick look at a Mac OS X or iOS app to point out five things you may have overlooked before. It’s the end of the week, but that doesn’t mean an end to learning more about your favorite Apple devices.

![]() If you find yourself in the situation where you have no escape, take a look at our suggested files and pick the needed upgrade. This is the reason, why Spintires: MudRunner Mod free files are so popular all over the world – they assist a player and make everything solvable. If you cannot move forward and it seems that you’ve tried everything, Spintires: MudRunner Mod might offer you unseen features which will make you overcome all kinds of obstacles. ![]() Each Spintires: MudRunner Mod is designed to solve particular problems and help to boost your chances to overcome boundaries. ![]() So, let’s begin: Spintires: MudRunner Mods are additional files, which expand your options and provide you with new possibilities. If you notice any mistake, please let us know.Ĭannot get the idea why Spintires: MudRunner Mods are so special? Well then you have landed in the right place – we will explain everything that you probably want to know. This content was uploaded by website visitors. Has all the standard tow hitches including the Gooseneck Trailer Pack (Thanks IR) 3 Tire grip categories included specs for each (Stock-ish, Redline, and Cheater Specs) The No Damage suspension option can be found in the Damage-Control addons section New TrailRider engine and transmission tunes for slower-paced trailing Detailed 6.7L triple turbo diesel engine Custom roof rack, rock sliders, and led lights Custom front bumper to match the OG Diesel Brothers 2012 truck bumper High gloss paint jobs with color-matched trim OR chrome trim Mega Mountain Special Edition onboard radar (visuals in 1st person) Some of the other cool things to checkout… It’s a lot of fun on the season 7 race track! They have less grip so the truck doesn’t grip/bite into the corners. If you plan on doing hot laps with this truck, I’d suggest you try the Stock-ish tuned tires. This mod was purpose-built to run Super-Single wheels, but you also have a few dually wheel options as well since I know people are going to ask for them. Keeping in the spirit of the OG truck you can only run this with the big lift setup. It’s long… so the truck has 10 degrees of rear steer to aid with tighter corners but due to its limited steering range, the truck drives similar to a standard rear axle truck. ![]() The body sits on my new scratch-built chassis featuring 4000 series MRAP 9-ton military axles with hydraulic steering, a custom 4-link suspension with 4.5 coilovers, and bypass shocks on all ends. It also has custom 3500 widebody front fenders and the rear dually fenders have been opened up to match the front tire clearances. The stock 3500 hood was grafted with the cowl and vents from the hood featured on the same manufactures off-road performance pickup. It has a mega cab, 6-Door, and panoramic moonroof conversions. I would guess the stance is about 2-3ft wider than the standard 3500 truck since the front fenders are just as wide as the rear dually fenders.Įvery single body panel was modified on this mod. This truck is heavy-duty trail truck… meets high-dollar pre-runner. That body style is over a decade old now, so I thought why not build an updated version of the truck with the current body style and a more aggressive look. The DB truck is 2012 3500, that’s over 100in tall, 98in wide, running 9-ton military axles, 43in super-singles, and was proven to be a very capable trail rig. (Manufactures name removed truck for console friendliness) The Mega Cab Runner is just a fun build inspired by the Diesel Brothers (US TV show) Mega _Runner truck. ![]() Just like the SAGESET switch, it writes presets to the Registry. In Windows 10, it also does exactly the same thing. The command just has to described SAGESET functionality. If they do not behave as described, please correct me in the comments. To discover them, I used Sysinternals Process Monitor and also logs of the cleanmgr utility. The following commands are actually not documented. If the /D argument is not specified for this command, then it will be applied to all drives. Disk Cleanup will also then close automatically. The cleanup process will be started immediately, also without any confirmation prompt. It will then start to clean up using the preselected options automatically.
![]() However, only the files which are smaller than (N-1)*(block size) can be recovered. Having data from the rest of the member disks you can try to recover files. Since RAID 0 arrays are non-redundant, then if one of the member disks fails, then data that was on the failed disk is lost forever. Since the data is not that important to you, rebuilding the RAID configuration from scratch shouldn't bother you so much. However, you would most probably need to re-configure the whole array afterwards, and format both drives in the process. If you right-click in Disk Management on the missing drive, you should have the option to Reactivate Disk which should mark it as Online like the other. If the same controller has more SATA ports available try swapping the location of that HDD as well. I'd advise you to check the connections to it and also swap the SATA cable that is connecting it. ![]() This means that it's either corrupted or disconnected. Well, you could try running the DOS version of WD's Data LifeGuard as well then, it will allow to perform the QUICK and EXTENDED tests on the both drives without booting into Windows and it might also help you check their SMART attributes, however, the SATA mode needs to be either AHCI or IDE for this to happen.Īccording to your Disk Management screenshot, it seems like one of the HDD has gone missing. ![]() The data is not valuable enough to me that I would consider pursuing recovery through a professional company, but if there is a way I can fix this myself through Windows or DOS I would be willing to invest the time to do so Not to mention I have not seen anything abnormal in the performance of the drive in recent days and was able to play large 30 GB+ video files off the drive with normal loading times and no problems at all even on the day of the crash. test on either drive due to the drives being set up in RAID). Also two days before it crashed, I ran an extended Western Digital Lifeguard tool test on the drive and it passed determining no issues (I was unable to run a S.M.A.R.T. This is totally out of the realm though of anything I've seen before so I'm hoping someone who is familiar with what Disk Management is telling me can walk me through a few steps because I'd rather be safe than sorry.Īs mentioned before, I ran an HDTune Surface Test of both drives turning up no issues after the crash occurred. I have had RAID drives stop working in the past and I've gotten them working by various simple fixes in the BIOS or elsewhere. I appreciate the response, but I really don't believe that this is an issue with physical drive failure but rather the configuration of these RAID drives having gotten out of whack and can be corrected either through Windows or DOS by taking a series of simple steps. The only thing I've done so far to try to remedy the situation is switch the configuration in BIOS for the drives from RAID to AHCI and then back to RAID as that's fixed previous RAID arrays that have stopped working, but as that has not worked I'm a bit out of my comfort zone and I'd like some advice before proceeding with any troubleshooting. Not sure what has happened that's caused them to be listed as basically three disks when there are only two physical disks in the system comprising the RAID, hopefully someone can shed some light on that. Just so it's clear, other than the main SSD C: drive, I have two 4TB Western Digital Black Caviar drives that are supposed to be comprising the X: drive. This is what it looks like in Disk Management currently: Hoping someone can help me, my RAID 0 configuration on my desktop recently crashed and I'm hoping it can still be recovered (All of the data is already backed up on my NAS, but I'd like to get the drives up and running again if possible). The victims were shopping when they approached a food sample table with sausages, where the defendant was also standing, holding his then-18-month-old son. A Los Angeles jury in November 2021 ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, awarding them $17 million. The French family filed a lawsuit against the LAPD, the city of Los Angeles and Sanchez at the end of 2019, alleging negligence and civil rights violations. In the summer of 2020, the Los Angeles Police Commission determined the Costco shooting reflected unjustifiable use of force, and Sanchez was booted out of the Los Angeles Police Department a month later. The Riverside County District Attorney's Office in September 2019 took the matter to the 19-member county grand jury, and jurors declined to indict Sanchez. When he announced criminal charges against Sanchez last summer, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the case was about "pursuing justice" and reaffirming the principle that "nobody is above the law." I tried to feel for a pulse, but there was no pulse."Īccording to Corona police investigators, only Sanchez was armed and fired 10 shots from his off-duty pistol. Then he appeared to stop bleeding, and there was no more labored breathing. I took his right hand and tried talking to him, but he didn't respond. I stayed with him for five or 10 minutes. There was like a tremor every now and again. "There was blood coming out of his right ear. 29 at the Riverside Hall of Justice.ĭuring testimony last week, witness William Gagnon described the aftermath of the shooting, saying that because of the volley of gunfire, he initially believed there were "two shooters." ![]() The judge scheduled a post-preliminary hearing arraignment for Aug. (CNS) - An off-duty Los Angeles police officer who fatally shot a developmentally disabled man during a confrontation in a Corona Costco, as well as critically wounded the victim's parents - all of whom were unarmed - must stand trial on voluntary manslaughter and other charges, a judge has ruled.įollowing a preliminary hearing that spanned nearly three days, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Samuel Diaz ruled there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial for 33-year-old Salvador Alejandro Sanchez of Corona on the manslaughter count, as well as two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm resulting in great bodily injury. ![]() After days of graphic witness testimony, a former LAPD officer has been ordered to stand trial for a fatal shooting at a Costco store in Corona. ![]() ![]() Flat vector illustration in modern trendy style Vectors by LanaSham 0 / 0 Flamingo, sketch for your design Vector Clipart by Kudryashka 0 / 7 Flamingo bird tattoo design vector illustration Vector Illustration by AlexanderPokusay 0 / 9 Hawaiian Beach Attributes and Tropical Symbols with Ukulele and Flamingo Bird Vector Set EPS Vectors by Happypictures 0 / 0 Silhouette bird flamingo on a white background EPS Vectors by aarrows 0 / 0 Hawaiian Aloha Symbols and Exotic Island Attribute Big Vector Set EPS Vector by Happypictures 0 / 0 Hawaiian Beach Attributes and Tropical Symbols with Cocktail and Flamingo Bird Vector Set Vector Clip Art by Happypictures 0 / 0 Tropical Background with Flamingo and Palm Leaves.

After that, will there be change? Of course. I’ll start my tenure next month by talking with customers and employees - getting smarter about your company and your business. It’s not easy to connect all those dots, but it will be central to my work at Splunk. The best products come from connecting customer needs to market trends, and building that into a smart product and a compelling customer experience. And to start just days before the 10-year anniversary of both IPOs feels perfect.Īt Proofpoint, I saw my role as number-one customer advocate, bringing customer feedback to every conversation. I’m personally very excited to again lead a public company, especially one with the broad market potential I just described. I took Proofpoint public on April 20, 2012, one day after Splunk’s IPO. I’ve known Doug for years and I’ve long admired Splunk’s success under his leadership. I start with a deep respect for what Splunk has accomplished already. A better question is, what do I bring as CEO? We must embrace the values that have made Splunk great and build on them as we transform and scale.īut you all know why Splunk is great. When I interviewed with the Board, I used only five slides to talk about my vision, and one of them stated my firm commitment to preserve the soul of Splunk. Splunk has not only hugely enthusiastic customers, but a vibrant internal culture powered by 7,500 smart, committed, highly engaged Splunkers. The rapid growth of the observability space as essential in a hybrid, multicloud world has been breathtaking, and, as with security, Splunk has positioned itself to lead.įinally, there’s each of you. I come with a deep background in cybersecurity, and I’m also very excited about Splunk’s observability offerings. Second, I bring the right combination of solid experience and ambition to grow. As every business rethinks its applications, evolves its architecture and elevates how it serves its customers, companies like Splunk must continue to rapidly innovate to capture this huge potential. Splunk’s world-class security and observability solutions deliver a cohesive approach and bring both the resiliency and innovation that every organization needs. ![]() A lot of leaders understand that data is how we build a better world, but very few have really figured out how to leverage valuable and expanding data resources. First, Splunk is an essential partner to organizations undergoing rapid and ambitious digital transformation. I’ll give you three reasons as to why I am excited to become the next CEO of Splunk. So why is Splunk my next adventure, and what can I bring to the company you all have worked so hard to build? I’ve led the company for 19 years while helping to grow it into one of the best-known security brands in the world. Four years later, I was recruited to serve as founding CEO of Proofpoint, a SaaS security company that protects business from advanced threats and compliance risks. I then spent the better part of a decade in leadership positions at Sun Microsystems and Sybase before starting my first CEO role at a private SaaS company called Portera. I got my start at Hewlett-Packard as a software engineer and worked my way up the ranks. I’ve spent the last 35+ years in the tech industry, where I’ve turned a love of finding new ways to approach problems into a career. I’m excited to join your amazing company, and since the official announcement has gone out this afternoon, I wanted to make a direct introduction here. Splunkers, it’s my honor to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I can’t wait to see what’s next for us here at Splunk. conf events and spoken with countless customers and Splunk devotees, I really wanted to share our mutual enthusiasm with you all too because I know how much you’d appreciate it. Yes, he is talking directly to our employees but as someone who has been to multiple. But when I - along with every other Splunk employee - received the below message from our newly announced CEO, Gary Steele, expressing his excitement for joining our company, I felt compelled to share on our blog. As head of our social media program, the majority of my focus is helping make sure the real subject matter experts and those with interesting stories to tell, have the tools and enablement to do so. Having said that, it’s pretty rare that I take advantage of this resource to share my own observations and stories with our Splunk Blogs’ audience. During that time, I’ve had a front row seat for some incredibly exciting, and frankly career-defining moments. I’ve been a Splunker for over 7 years now. ![]() Quest works like the single-player mode but includes a timer counting down as you try to score the various point requirements. In addition to the single-player campaign that sees you busting blocks, there's a quest mode and a time attack against the game's artificial intelligence to destroy all the blocks before it can. We also found the knob controller best for desperation wrist flicks. We played with all three methods, and while the stylus wasn't uncomfortable, we found the D pad the most accurate. Moving around can be done either with the D pad, dragging the stylus on the DS touch screen, or with an optional hardware peripheral that plugs in the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot and uses a scroll knob. If you miss again, it's game over.Ĭontrolling your paddle is handled in a couple of different ways, depending on your preference. Once the net is gone, you're on your own. The bar under your paddle is yellow when undamaged but quickly turns from orange to red and then disappears if you let three balls slip through. Arkanoid DS now has a colored safety-net-style device. This also removed any speed and power-ups you may have accrued along the way. Previously, if you missed the ball, it would fall into the abyss below you and take one of your lives. There's also a special type of ball that ignores collision with the blocks and simply rolls its way through everything in its path.Īrkanoid fans will be happy to learn that in addition to retaining all the classic features, the upcoming Taito-developed DS version will include a few new twists. Some provide you bonuses, such as lengthening your paddle to cover more ground and giving you extra firepower that lets you shoot at blocks with bullets. In the meantime, power-ups and penalty items continue to rain down randomly from the blocks as you destroy them. Provided you can keep the ball moving, it continues to speed up, making it progressively tougher to keep it from getting past you. For the uninitiated, the general gist is that you take control of a small paddle and bounce a ball upward, trying to destroy all the blocks on the playfield. Simply amazing.Like Space Invaders Extreme, Arkanoid is another classic table-top arcade game that has been given a new lease on life with the impending release of the game for the Nintendo DS handheld.Ĭhances are if you've owned a PC, console, or in some cases a mobile phone, you've probably played Arkanoid, even if you don't know it by that name. I almost snapped my DS in half with glee as I heard it. My favorite tune by far has to be a vocal J-pop techno remix of the Arkanoid theme. The music is all CD-quality tunes that were enjoyable ranging from smooth jazzy stuff to some Guilty Gear-style rock. ![]() For instance, one level had the bricks arranged like Bub from Taito’s famous Bubble Bobble series. The best part of the game, aside from the gameplay, was the fanservice. The Completion Mode is your standard break all the bricks mode. ![]() The gameplay is true to the original, just with different levels and modes. Arkanoid DS is technically speaking a new game and not a port of the arcade classic, however the game includes no new power-ups or extreme changes in how it’s played. I can make the slightest adjustments for accurate ball placement and I can make mad spins to the side for a save all with no problems. The Paddle Controller performs exactly as it feels. I’ve loved the game ever since I first played it and I love it now. It’s still the same Breakout clone with a soul. So I cleaned up my puddle of drool and I finally decided to play the game. The controller also comes in four different colors (white, black, pink, and silver) for those of you who want to buy the game and controller separately, however you won’t get the price break of the game and white controller bundle that I bought. I’ve never bought an accessory I’ve been happier with than this one. However, Taito made sure I didn’t have to shake my fists at the heavens. I think my only reason for still owning the original model DS is so I have an excuse to be bitter when accessories come out that aren’t made for it. My biggest fear was also relieved: the Paddle Controller is made to fit in the DS’s GBA slot (as the DS Rumble Pack does) of both models of DS. It feels JUST like the arcade version of Arakanoid’s spinner, only the knob’s a tad smaller and made of plastic. The DS Paddle Controller turns all the way around and the knob coasts on ball bearings, still spinning after a good amount of force. They had a limited range of motion and just didn’t have that arcade feel. The paddle controllers on the Atari 2600 were good but not perfect. The knob on it is probably the most perfect recreation of an arcade spinner I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. What makes the Paddle Controller so special is its build quality. |
