Re: [Blind-Computing] Getting Flash Player to work
Windows 7 calls this icon speakers: followed by the current volume in percentages. So mine would say speakers: 100%.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Flash player on my computer and still no change. I read that Java is also required on YouTube. So, I am working on figuring out how to uninstall the JAVA. Then I can reinstall it. The thing is I am required to be able to listen to audio and watch video from my college web site. The college uses flash player and java for these things. So, when my girlfriend sent the link and it didn't play I was especially worried. In between here I tried the link on my other laptop computer and found it is playing there. So, I am puzzled. If reloading Java doesn't work I am out of ideas.

Re: [Blind-Computing] How to Move to new scanning program
I am completely unfamiliar with these programs but if I was in your position I would look for an option to display scanner driver or display scanner properties in this program's settings. If this succeeds then the scanner driver will appear before the scanning takes place and you can ensure that duplex is set before the scan results are sent back to your OCR program. I cannot guarantee that this will work but it works with other OCR programs like Microsoft document Scanning to deliver duplex scanning. You could try Microsoft Document scanning anyway with your scanner as the OCR is excellent.

Re: [Blind-Computing] How to Move to new scanning program
Hi Actually, I am sorry to say that my results with Microsoft document Scanning have been rather dismal. Perhaps it is because I am scanning textbooks and there is a great deal of variation in the background behind the print. Sometimes the print is over a graphic. So, it will take a rather robust OCR program to sort it all out. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Magic Jack
Hi Magic Jack is an adapter that plugs in to a USB port and then you can plug your standard house phone in to the adapter. It allows one to make calls over the internet. A person usually has free long distance in their own country. The magic jack costs just under $2 a month in the United States.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Magic Jack
hello mark i have an internet calls provider they are called Vonage and it costs me £7.99 a month for this i get unlimited talk time in the UK with no need to hang up within an hour and redial. i also get 33 hours worth of talk time to 35 European countries a month and no bill statements as it is all taken care of online. i get an email once a month to tell me the transaction was successfully carried out and that the amount for the month left my card. here in the UK we have features like call waiting, 1471, anonymous call rejection voice mail and a few other that i cant think of right now. BT charge each month for these but with Vonage they come as standard with no charge to use them the only thing i would pay for is the diversion part if i have my calls diverted to another number.

[Blind-Computing] running cron in Unix
Hi all, I have a virtual private server, and I'm currently running Debian 5.0 distro of Linux. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm trying to run a cron job (simply for learning purposes at the moment). Typing cron at the prompt, however, yields this message: cron: can't lock /var/run/crond.pid, otherpid may be 1130: Resource temporarily unavailable If any of you are Linux administrators, I could really use your help. I attempt to load a cron job by issuing the command: crontab nameOfFileForCronInstructions.cron, where that name is replaced with the name of the file containing the instructions for the Cron (like when and how long it's supposed to run and all that good stuff), however it's not working at the specified times, and I think the error I'm getting is the problem.

Oh yeah, Kevin, I almost forgot, to set up a cron entry you need to use the crontab command. Check that out by executing the command: man crontab crontab -l: list the cron entries for user crontab -d: delete user's cron entry crontab: set ups an input session where you are required to type in the desired entries The best way to do this crontab stuff is to creat a flat (text) file with the appropriate tab delimited fields, then you can do this: crontab yourTextFile (the less than tells the shell to take input from the listed file rather than from the standard input (keyboard) Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: billgal...@centurytel.net - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese!

I don't have a land line, and will never have a land line again. I use Magic Jack exclusively. I pay 20 dollars annually for Magic Jack, and 20 dollars monthly for broad band DSL service. I love Magic Jack. For it's cost one can't beat the value. though there will be those who will disagree surely. - Original Message - From: Yvonne Oliver yvonne.oli...@tafn.org.uk To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, December 29, 2009 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Magic Jack hello mark i have an internet calls provider they are called Vonage and it costs me £7.99 a month for this i get unlimited talk time in the UK with no need to hang up within an hour and redial. i also get 33 hours worth of talk time to 35 European countries a month and no bill statements as it is all taken care of online. i get an email once a month to tell me the transaction was successfully carried out and that the amount for the month left my card. here in the UK we have features like call waiting, 1471, anonymous call rejection voice mail and a few other that i cant think of right now. BT charge each month for these but with Vonage they come as standard with no charge to use them the only thing i would pay for is the diversion part if i have my calls diverted to another number.
