  1. Or have one in the works?

     

    One is in the works but due to the fragmentation in the android platform it makes it hard for small devs like me to release on the whole android platform. If I did it would be a very small device release :(

     

    Please refer to this thread for all updates:

    I haven't been working on it lately because I've been working on something else. Something big... I have an update for iPhone almost done. I could release it now but I wanna finish it first.

  2. all the same... it was very uncool and very unprofessional

     

    That's horse $#!+ and you know it Evil.

     

    Ok, I apologize to everyone here and CNC software. If it's needed, I'll make a complete uninstallation guide for those who installed it and I'll take any repercussions that come with what I did. But legally, I'm safe because it was a general web visible file.

     

    To CNC software: Please set up your file permissions correctly next time to stop @ssholes like me on ruining release day fun. (BTW, great job on X5! I love it!!! :D )

  3. Mac's are fantastic computers but it depends on what you are doing in mastercam. When you bootcamp (dual boot but made more apple sounding) it basically is just a regular Windows PC. You can use virtualization software like VMWare fusion or parallels desktop but you loose a lot of horsepower doing so. I ran Virtual machines for years because we have a Mac powered office. I set up Xgrid (distributed computing network) and ran my windows virtual machine on 12 different computers (lol I was the first to break the 30 second Mcam benchmark record. ON A MAC!!!). If you do basic 2d/3d milling, you can use a mac just fine. Any high resolution 3d or multi axis work its better off to buy a windows computer.

     

    I love my macs but they have their high points and low points. One of the biggest low points for mac though is engineering software. But autocad was just released on OS X so we might see CAD/CAM come back to the Mac platform (only if steve jobs doesn't make OS X a giant iPhone).

  4. quote:

    Firefox had the MOST vulnerabilities but did correct them within 2-3 days of being reported.

    Yea, stock firefox. What I said was modified firefox rolleyes.gif

    Safari was close behind but it takes Apple a full 2 weeks to address them after being reported!

    The conclusion of the Report was that Safari was the LEAST secure browser.


    Apple doesnt care about windows safari but on the mac platform, you'd have to download whatever virus/malware, mount dmg/mpkg, type in your root password and install it. Unix doesn't work like what most people are used to. The world of flyby malware don't exist in my perfect world of nix.

    IE is the most secure browser available now

    Close, but no cigar.

     

    I've tested IE9 and it still has all the flash exploits (not really their fault) and javascript flyby exploits (once again, not their fault). But what killed it for me is that they didn't build in a browser sandbox or at least sandbox their extensions.

     

    Still cant beat Firefox 3.whatever + AdBlock + NoScript + NoFlash

     

    Safari 5 is still up there though. Security through obscurity FTW!! lol

    To the guys that are under a minute on the benchmark, how do you get it to use more of resources when processing

    Dual socket.

     

    Setting processor affinity really wont do much. Processor affinity is more designed around multiple programs running and setting which active program has priority.

    My superstitions:

     

    Program only off solids :puts flame suit on:

     

    Save before verify/posting

     

    If over 200Mb, switch to bootcamp instead of virtual machines due to Xgrid being dead

     

    Daily VM snapshots

     

    Solids on level 1, wire on level 2, containment geometry on level 3. Always!

     

    Don't use tool 13 and 7
