Constant outages. Go DTE! :)

I second this. It is good tool and works well. The average user does not need to fiddle with DNS or firewalls to get it to work.

We have one (AllHandsActive.com - Ann Arbor, MI). Ours works slightly differently than what you said. The knob on the front limits it. The software limits it further. When running if we set ours to 15MW (on the knob) and set 50% power in software we get ~7.5MW read out on the gauge during the run.

The software (RetinaEngrave) is pretty terrible. It does make multiple passes and splitting colors (different power/passes) easy, but alignment of raster and vector images is a pain. It also only seems to consistently open .XPS files and not any other file type you might commonly have. This means we have to open in another piece of software, print to XPS and load in RetinaEngrave to get a file we know works the way we expect. Not a huge deal but kind of annoying when we already have a vector image.

Good machine though. Works well otherwise.

If you are interested, please stop by sometime! Build night is held on Thursday evenings. Lots of neat projects going on!

The company I work with tightened their restrictions in the past year. Only company machines can now access the network remotely and webmail requires installation of software. The software required only works on certain versions of Windows with specific versions of IE. Some of those that installed it have had their machines rendered in-operable after. My solution was to stop working after hours and remotely checking email. If I am called after hours I state I can't connect remotely and that it will take me x minutes to reach the office. I'm 24/7 support, but it turns out a lot of things are no longer that important to the higher ups. To date I've only been questioned once as to why my after hours availability had dropped. My answer that my home machine is not allowed to connect to the network was sufficient. If you are not required to have remote access or use your personal machines, try just stopping. I understand that it is probably more convient to have that though.

Thanks. I read the article same way as poster. That paragraph made it sound like the internet was being provided when the link was active only by RDP.

Ubisoft stopped producing games after Myst 5: End of Ages. Popularity of the games really started dropping in later years. Cyan Worlds (once just Cyan) the original creators of Myst are still around. They have been floundering though since URU. URU lost it's server support and Cyan lost funding. Cosmic Osmo was once of the last games I remember them working on for the PC. They released Myst iPhone shortly after the layoffs. They are still around in some form trying to bring back URU servers as open source shards. I highly recommend picking up RealMyst if you like Myst. It is by far I think the best rendition of the game. I wish they would have Given Riven the same treatment. I wanted to work there all through college. The year I was about to graduate they started to tank.
