I should add there's well over 5000 devices in our epic setup
Its a cms setup for this task.
We input machine name, make, model, serial number, host name, IP, physical location, wall port #, where the funding comes.from, role of the machine, and it allows.you to attach devices together (say you have a monitor in epic and a scanner, and a PC... and the monitor is attached to the PC as is the scanner.. epic allows.you to add those devices to.the base unit).
Every piece of equipment at the 6 libraries on the main campus as well as all the branch campuses of Penn state are in the database. We also have it linked to big fix so it will list any machines big fix finds that isn't in our epic database as well as the other way around.
You can then search and filter via criteria and download any "reports" via a csv file.
We log more.info.than I listed (like Mac address etc) but that gives you an idea
My Galaxy S GT-i9000 had no issues. Granted the carrier wasn't pushing stuff out, so I'd just go to samfirmware.com or whatever it was and download the offical Samsung firmware, and flash using ODIN. Very easy to do. Last I did it that way, samsung was up to 2.3.5 if I remember correctly.
Since then I've just ran CyanogenMod 7, and later 9 which is Ice Cream Sandwich. About a week ago I gave AOKP a try, which I like better. While they both just work (had no issues in the later releases of CM9), AOKP comes with the Glitch kernel stock which allows you to overclock. My i9000 runs at 1200MHz just fine.
Honestly, my next phone will be another Samsung. Now if you compare my wife's Verizon Fascinate (which is another Galaxy S with the same specs as mine), you'd understand why I'll never get another carrier branded phone. I just lucked out as Immix (a small local carrier) picked up the international version of the Galaxy S (The GT-i9000T I have) and didn't screw with it at all. As soon as they get the S III, I'll be picking it up.
Sorry, but this is wrong on many levels. An inverter isn't any harder, and most likely easier than going without because anything that would normally plug into the wall will.. Well... Just plug in and work.
Now the issue is you don't want to use just any old inverter as there are major differences between them. Get one with voltage stabilizing (does a good job of keeping a steady output voltage, just like the some home theater power centers do), and also make sure it's a pure sine wave. Pure sine waves run a bit more, but are much safer for sensitive electronics vs a non-pure wave system. The last one we did at the stop was a 2000watt RMS/4000 max pure sine wave that ran about $800-1000 (can't remember exact figure), but you can fine similar setups with less watts for a lot less money.
Also, use a good deep cycle or dual-purpose marine battery all the way around. Try to use the same battery in all locations, as using different batteries (different in style as in deep cycle vs a starting battery, or a smaller capacity vs larger capacities) can cause issues as one battery may fully charge before the other, but because of the load imbalance one may over charger or one may remain undercharged.
Also look into the after market audio areas for an alternator/generator. The same RV van I put the power inverter into above we also put a tsunami alternator which produced around 240amps at a fairly low rpm. We also used one of their heavy duty relays (500amp rated) to isolate the rear batteries from the one under the hood when the key was off so the main battery wouldn't drain and leave you stranded.
The setup used all home equipment (made a custom flip down mount for the 36" tv we put in), including the directv receiver and home theater system.
For example, the president. Before they are anything, they are a normal citizen like the rest of us. They run for the position and get elected it. Every 4 years they are possibly replaced with a new person. So I ask, if something happened to them, why would we care any more than if something happened to a relative, friend, etc? Why is it really do important to protect them and others "in office". They get replaced all the time (well should anyhow instead of sitting in congress/senate forever). The older I get the more I question the need for all that.. Why they should be protected than any other citizen.
Just give them a limited access user account (even if you have to knock their access down a little bit yourself) so they cant change that stuff....
