Re: [beagleboard] Immediate Hire -- Mainframe Developer@MO

2018-04-25 Thread Eric Keller 
I know someone who works as a Cobol programmer.  I think he's 52.  Never
did ask him how he chose such a hellish occupation.  Technically I'm a
Cobol programmer, but it has been 30 years since I have written anything in
it.

I'm sure there are a lot of them in banking and medicine.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Patent CN 105652813 A

2017-11-10 Thread Eric Keller 
Unfortunately, in the U.S., there is no personal use or educational use
waiver of patent protection.  However, as long as you don't bring a lot of
attention to the device, it shouldn't be a problem.  China may have much
more lenient patent laws, but I don't know this.

I feel like that wouldn't receive a  patent in the U.S.

Re: [beagleboard] [Help] Cannot go to linux cnc after stepconfig files created

machinkit isn't linuxcnc.  There is a machinekit mailing list on google
groups where you probably can get help with this.

Looks like a path problem to me, but PNCconf has always worked out of the
box for me.

place for a very long time by now.

I think it's ITAR because it's a computer that can control a flying
