The Ace: Alex's father, John Rider falls into this territory, although he's also a Posthumous Character.A second attempt at adapting the show for the screen came in the form of a Show of the Books, Alex Rider, which launched in June 2020 with a first series principally adapting Point Blanc a second series has been commissioned that adapts Eagle Strike. Stormbreaker was adapted as a movie in 2006, and despite much mass marketing and merchandise with beliefs that the film would kickstart a franchise, it failed to make its budget back and got unfavourable critical reception. The books are also being adapted as a series of graphic novels (that reached Ark Angel in 2020) that form a different canon to the books. There are also two supplementary materials, Alex Rider: The Gadgets (featuring blueprints of the gadgets Alex uses), and Alex Rider: Mission Files, featuring assorted in-universe correspondence, diagrams, blueprints and miscellany from the first seven books and a World Book Day book to mark the 20th anniversary, Undercover: The Classified Files, released in 2020.

![]() This cannot be a problem of the usb-stick format, because there are already aliases on the usb-stick which I copied manually these are working fine, finding the original document immediately. I "opened" the batch: all paths are enumerated, and the last remark is "cannot execute binary file". Anyway, since 8.2 (and still with 8.3) FFS turns every alias of a document from my Computer into a batch (Terminal.app) on the usb-stick. ![]() I used to synchronize documents between Mac OS X El Capitain and an usb-stick (formatted FAT32 in order to be used on all kinds of operating systems) and I wasn't aware of the problem at once, because most documents are not aliases. Hi, I am using FFS since July, and I am very pleased with the convenient handling and clear surface.īut now I have a problem with aliases as well. Do you think using hard links would solve my problem? If so, can you recommend a tool for making hard links without having to use the terminal? Using Google, I found some hints about the difference between „normal“ Mac alias files and hard links, however I am not familiar enough with the Mac terminal to try the latter. „*/.DS_Store */._*“ or „*/.DS_Store“ or none), but could not get the desired result. I have also tried several exclude filters (e.g. I have tried the different settings for symbolic link handling, but neither „direct“ (this is what I am intending to do) nor „exclude“ nor „follow“ seem to work.

When I copy them manually to the USB stick and from there to the other Mac, they work well, i.e. Normal data files are ok, but I have a lot of „normal" Mac aliases pointing to various folders (created with the cmd+L shortcut), which lose their functionality if copied with FreeFileSync. ![]() I use the FreeFileSync Mac OSX version 6.10 on two MacBookPro laptops (both with OSX 10.9 = Mavericks) and an USB stick or external hard disk (formatted with ExFAT or Mac OS Extended Journaled file system) to synchronize my data between them. I've tried many freeware offerings over the years (retired with a hobby of looking for goodies in that haystack) and found it to be one of the few "keepers" that was worth adding to my toolbox and donating to.I really like FreeFileSync, however, since I moved from Windows to Mac, I have a problem when copying Mac aliases and I wonder whether this is a bug or whether I just do not use the proper settings. Thanks for this excellent product I've used it ever since I discovered it. If that clearing is deemed a desirable action for some users, provide a configuration option to select which behavior best suits the user's needs. Restore the previous behavior of leaving everything not yet sync'd on the screen orĢ. It's always been easy: exclude the ones that need to reverse, do the sync, reverse the direction, select those that need to go that way and sync again.Īlas, 7.9 broke that feature by immediately clearing the excluded items that I will need to handle later. In short, after doing certain mirror-mode compares, I heavily depend on visually examining the proposed changes sometimes there are one or two that need to go the other way from the rest.

Those years weren’t a waste or filled with blatant rebellion or running from God. Just ask my mom, who labored eighteen hours before I finally made an appearance. Okay, a lot stubborn, and prefer to do things when I am good and ready. For those of you who don’t know me personally, I am a bit stubborn. From the time I truly realized that to the time I was saved was about six years or so. I’ve been in church since I was about nine months old, so I knew at a young age that I needed to have a relationship with God through Jesus. I grew up in a small town, the third out of four children, very shy, and with a love of stories and music. It’s about how this redhead came to know the Redeemer and how faithful He has been in her life. Disobedience, even in seemingly small ways, closes the door on some of those blessings. I don’t want to miss out on any blessings that God has for me. What will I miss out on if I don’t obey God’s leading?Īnd there’s my motivation. The writer urges the reader to ask what would happen if we take a step of faith and follows that up by asking what would happen if we don’t. The devotional I read today was on moving past fear. I believe that the second part is going to win. Another part of me reasons that, since God is leading me to share, I should do it because I love Him and want to live a life of obedience to Him. A part of me thinks no one will be interested, so why bother. Maybe it all boils down to fear of being rejected. So why do I hesitate? I am processing the answer to this as I type, staring at the blinking cursor until my thoughts unravel enough to grab hold of one and follow it. But on the other hand, there are some amazing things that God has done in my life that I know would bring Him glory in the telling and would be an encouragement to those who read it.

LogMeIn Ignition is available at $29.99 on the App Store.LogMeIn, Inc., provides software that enables remote connectivity and collaboration. In my tests, Cloud Bank has been extremely reliable in dealing with large Dropbox transfers from the cloud to a computer I was remotely connected to via 3G. I look forward to seeing whether LogMeIn will ever consider adding support for iCloud files, as that seems the most logical step to seamlessly fetch an iOS user’s cloud documents. With WebDAV support, users will be able to configure services like DropDAV, which turns Dropbox into a WebDAV server and works out of the box with apps like Pages and Keynote. You’ll be able to move files between Dropbox and a computer you’re remotely connected to, or get a spreadsheet from your Google Docs account into a computer without, say, giving the person that’s using the remote machine access to your Google credentials. With Cloud Bank, Dropbox and Google Docs are easily accessible through Ignition’s usual interface, with the same copy menu from computer-based remote connections. Think of Ignition as a bridge between the cloud and a remote computer. We’ve extended the functionality of our File Manager feature and given users the benefit of using cloud storage services in conjunction with remote access and local file storage on their devices. My Cloud Bank allows LogMeIn Ignition users the ability to take full advantage of being remote by connecting them to their files no matter where they are. LogMeIn Ignition was already capable of moving files between computers and iOS’ local document manager with an intuitive drag & drop menu and copy/move functionalities nowadays, however, users are more likely to keep their documents in the cloud, rather than physically stored on a computer’s drive, and LogMeIn’s move towards integration with cloud-connected services is certainly welcome as a way to get files from the cloud and onto a computer remotely. The latest version of Ignition, released today, adds a single, yet important feature called Cloud Bank that brings direct integration with Dropbox, Google Docs and any WebDAV server to the iOS app. ![]() LogMeIn Ignition isn’t the cheapest app on the App Store, but its rich set of features and support from LogMeIn (a company that, among other things, also produces a free VPN tool for OS X) make it a worthwhile purchase for those looking for a complete solution to control a computer’s screen and access to its files. In the past months LogMeIn, makers of the Ignition app for iOS, have released a series of updates to enhance Lion compatibility on the desktop and improve the file sharing capabilities of the iOS client, which, as we detailed in our various reviews, is a great way to remotely access computers (Macs and PCs) over the air.

Casselman was successful and a patent related to the system was issued in 1992. ![]() In 1987, the Naval Surface Warfare Center funded an experiment proposed by Steve Casselman to develop a computer that would implement 600,000 reprogrammable gates. The XC2064 had 64 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), with two three-input lookup tables (LUTs). The XC2064 had programmable gates and programmable interconnects between gates, the beginnings of a new technology and market. Xilinx produced the first commercially viable field-programmable gate array in 1985 – the XC2064. Īltera was founded in 1983 and delivered the industry's first reprogrammable logic device in 1984 – the EP300 – which featured a quartz window in the package that allowed users to shine an ultra-violet lamp on the die to erase the EPROM cells that held the device configuration. PROMs and PLDs both had the option of being programmed in batches in a factory or in the field (field-programmable). The FPGA industry sprouted from programmable read-only memory (PROM) and programmable logic devices (PLDs). Many FPGAs can be reprogrammed to implement different logic functions, allowing flexible reconfigurable computing as performed in computer software.įPGAs have a remarkable role in embedded system development due to their capability to start system software development simultaneously with hardware, enable system performance simulations at a very early phase of the development, and allow various system trials and design iterations before finalizing the system architecture. In most FPGAs, logic blocks also include memory elements, which may be simple flip-flops or more complete blocks of memory. Logic blocks can be configured to perform complex combinational functions, or act as simple logic gates like AND and XOR. Circuit diagrams were previously used to specify the configuration, but this is increasingly rare due to the advent of electronic design automation tools.įPGAs contain an array of programmable logic blocks, and a hierarchy of reconfigurable interconnects allowing blocks to be wired together. The FPGA configuration is generally specified using a hardware description language (HDL), similar to that used for an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). A field-programmable gate array ( FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured after manufacturing. ![]() ![]() The smoky skies have helped reduce temperatures across much of the mid-Atlantic region.

"Climate change is real and having a huge impact on Canadians right now with forest fires burning across the country," tweeted Catherine McKenna, Canada's former climate minister. Most of the country is expected to be under high to extreme risk for much of the wildfire season, which stretches from May to September. While forest fires are a natural part of the ecosystem of Canada's boreal forests, the size, ferocity and number of fires this year is decidedly abnormal. Smoke and unhealthy air quality levels from the conflagration have blanketed multiple Canadian provinces, much of the Great Lakes region and parts of the northeastern United States. On Wednesday there were more than 400 wildfires burning across the country, more than half of them out-of-control. |
