Lots of animals kill other animals for reasons other than food, most of them are to do with territory or training the young, or simply the elimination of competition, but there are plenty of species which have been observed killing, and hunting for no obvious reason other than the enjoyment of it.

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I have been industry programmer (PLC and Robots) for 10 years and I can only tell one.

It was very, very likely a human error. Worker getting in area when not allowed, safety rules missacted, bad programming of the robot, wrong safety hardware, etc, etc, etc... Which one(s)...? Only the investigation will tell.

Robots are (at least still are) the smartest dumbs on earth, they only do what they are told to do, and mostly do it blind. So if you don't want accidents, you need to pay attention while programming, wiring, teaching, using or interacting.

A co-worker found a meme in the net, showed to my boss and since then put it in some cabinets or robotic cell doors: "This machine has no brain, please use yours". You can't imagine what some production workers are capable to do just to get the productivity reward.

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Oh, there are so many workplaces that can use that notice. Wink | ;)

Thanks for the insight, I kind of figured it was something like that.

I love her reaction[^] to the reaction. Maybe it's just the people I know, but I can't see how no one has ever made that connection to her name before[1].

If I bring you breakfast in bed, a simple "thank you" is all I ask.

The "How did you get in my house?" business isn't needed.

Need To Scan Business Cards

I need a scanner (flatbed, for my PC, using Win'7) and software to put the text from business cards into an ASCII text format.

I have 110 business cards to enter into my database here, and it's taking me 20 and 30 minutes apiece. (Along with the typing, I check the company website, phone, etc. to make sure it's correct.)

There is a program somewhere which will read and covert them to ASCII text; even do the logo, I think.

I saw it once but didn't bookmark it, and now I can't find it.

Google/Bing/Yahoo/Etc. are leading me all to a bunch of iPhone apps.

I know I saw that software advertised right on my screen in front of my eyes. The ad said that you can lay ten cards at a time on the glass of your flatbed scanner and it will do the rest; zip-zap;

And,,,,,

You get the phone number and E-Mail address correct.

I wish I knew how to phrase the question so that one of those sites could find it for me.

It was commercial pay-ware; as I remember it, quite reasonable; maybe $35 or so.

Brain assistance requested, welcome, and invited.

I suggest taking a look at some of the all-in-one printer/scanner solutions from Canon, Brother or Epson. The companies supply software that works with the scanner functions to provide character recognition interfaces to your word processing, spreadsheet and data collection software.
You also gain with relatively cheap high definition printing.

The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.
