![]() ![]() Masterful storytelling weaves multiple, archetypal plotlines that pit Vader against Han and Leia as he desperately attempts to capture Luke for political-and, secretly, personal-reasons. After a visually stunning showdown on the ice planet Hoth, the Rebels are forced to flee, and Luke separates from Han and Leia. However, the Empire's top commander, the terrifying Lord Darth Vader (played by David Prowse, voiced by James Earl Jones), is scanning the galaxy for the Rebels' secret location. The Rebel Forces - which include young adventurer Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), rogue pilot Han Solo (Harrison Ford), and the beautiful but seemingly humorless Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) - have been successful in destroying the Evil Empire's Death Star. Considered the most morally and emotionally complex of the original Star Wars trilogy, THE EMPIRE STRIKE BACK continues creator George Lucas's epic saga where STAR WARS left off. On his journey, Luke is aided by the roguish, sarcastic mercenary Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his towering furry sidekick Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) as they run into a host of perilous situations while trying to rescue the princess - and the entire galaxy. When Luke's aunt and uncle are murdered by the Empire's imperial stormtroopers and he mysteriously finds a distress message from Princess Leia in one of his androids, R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), he must set out to find Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), a mysterious old hermit with incredible powers. The Rebels, led by the headstrong Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), are fighting against the evil Empire, which has set about destroying planets inhabited by innocent citizens with the Death Star, a fearsome planetlike craft commanded by Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) and the eternally frightful Darth Vader (David Prowse, with the voice of James Earl Jones). As the adventure begins, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), an impulsive but goodhearted young man who lives on the dusty planet of Tatooine with his aunt and uncle, longs for the exciting life of a Rebel soldier. First up is STAR WARS George Lucas's stunning sci-fi masterpiece, and arguably one of the most inventive and entertaining films ever made. This release contains the STAR WARS trilogy (episodes IV-VI) in one glorious package. One of the most exhilarating and influential trilogies in the history of motion pictures, George Lucas's sci-fi spectacular continues to capture the hearts and minds of individuals throughout the world.

With a few clicks you can begin creating accounts and making transactions in minutes. iCash can serve several small accounting needs for either private users, or clubs, associations, self-employed, small businesses or simply to be used at home, making keeping track of incomes, expenses and Banks transactions a snap.

We do not recommend this program there are many better options available. It installs and uninstalls without issues. ICash is free to try, but the trial version has a 100-transaction limit and a nag screen. ![]() ![]() Overall, we felt that iCash needlessly complicated something that other programs do in a much more intuitive way. The program comes with predefined expense categories, but there wasn't any obvious way to assign each transaction to a category. But once we'd imported our transactions, we weren't sure what the point was. The program does lets users import transactions from their banks, which is helpful and easy enough to do. But we've seen plenty of similar programs that are obvious right off the bat, and we're not sure there's anything particularly interesting about iCash that would make us want to put in the effort. The program comes with a 13-page Word document Help file, and it does seem that with careful studying a user could figure out how iCash works. However, the way that the program attempts to organize things-both accounts and transactions-doesn't always make sense. ICash's interface looks nice enough, with attractive buttons and tabs that organize its main features. Unfortunately, the program did not seem to bring either intuitiveness or outstanding features to the table, making it a pretty mediocre choice among similar programs. ![]() ICash bills itself as a simple program, a financial management tool for people who don't know anything about accounting. does a lot of things well, but labelling products clearly is not one of them.

(Impressive that this was all built-in and I didn't have to pay extra or take a picture of the cab and wait for an activation code.) I then ran "Time Machine" again and it worked! The backglass with active scoring appeared on my top monitor. I switched that mode on and activated the second monitor option for the backglass. The lighting looked great as well.įeeling a little adventurous, I decided to go for the Cabinet mode. This table looked and sounded great and was having no problem running 1080p 60 FPS on my 32" main monitor. I set it up for "High" Graphics Mode to see how it would do, and proceeded to run "Time Machine". ![]() This "Enhanced Starter Pack" was about $17 and appeared to be a good deal. So I had some time today, and decided to purchase the Zaccaria "Enhanced Starter Pack" for my two monitor VPCabs "Vertigo" cabinet. I sincerely hope Magic Pixel sticks around making Pinball content for some time more, and hopefully they may be able to do for other pinball brands, what they did with Zaccaria Pinball. When I first bought the game a few years ago (and I went all in straight away, going for the big Platinum Pack), I was kind of somewhat regretting it after my initial experience, since the game felt unpolished, and a bit "amateurish" compared to, say, Pinball Arcade, or even Pinball FX (despite my dislike for most of their original tables, who just don't feel like "real" pinball to me).īut, their continuous work on the game really improved things drastically, and after a particularly big update that came out a couple of years ago, that changed all menus, UI, and made all sorts of improvements and tweaks, the game reached a point where I personally think it's the better product, compared to the competing offerings. tables.īut, the developers have cleverly tackled that somewhat, with their Remake and Deluxe tables, which feature some modern touches, and elaborate playfields, that should please those who are looking for something closer to the "big" brands. Yes, the game has one problem: Zaccaria is not as well known as other brands, and some of their tables are a bit dated and not as elaborate as the Williams/Bally/Stern/. stuff like achievements/leaderboards/different modes/extras/. It feels like pinball to me.Īnd, ever since I bought a monitor capable of higher frame-rates, the game plays like a dream.Ĭlearly, a step above the other pinball offerings currently available, in terms of gameplay, customization options (I mean, you can tweak pretty much everything I've seen people on Youtube disliking certain default cameras, so they create their own preset, with a view that suits them I've seen people tweaking the balls physics. , which should be coming in the future).īut, on the PC version, the ball movement is just lovely, fluid, and behaves like the real deal. I'm not familiar with the mobile app (which, from what I understand, is still lacking many of the latest updates, even in terms of menus, UI. I can't speak much of the gameplay/rules of the table as I barely dug in to it as the rest was so off putting for me. They really should have gotten a local band to record a few rock songs and use those. At times the music sounds like something you might hear from the 60s but then morphs in to in to some jam session you might hear amateur elderly musicians play at a country club. Then a piano comes in and plays a few chords. ![]() A guitar and piano noodle around for awhile. Then when you play the game the music is very toned down. Strangely the first thing you hear a sax tooting along with a drum. I love the girl band theme to it and you would think as soon as the table starts you would be hearing some ear bleeding riffs. The music/sound is the largest missed opportunity and make me not want to even play the table. But the ball physics are floaty so feels like their older EM pins. The table looks great, like a modern table. Initial impressions of the table are a bit disappointing. The company was then purchased in June 2000 by Lernout & Hauspie, a Belgium-based corporation that was subsequently found to have been perpetrating financial fraud. Gould also designed the tutorials in both DragonDictate for DOS version 2.0 and Dragon Talk. Gould was the principal architect and lead engineer for the development of Dragon NaturallyOrganized (1.0), Dragon NaturallySpeaking Mobile Organizer (3.52), Dragon NaturallySpeaking (1.0 through 2.02), and DragonDictate for Windows (1.0). Joel Gould was the director of emerging technologies at Dragon Systems. ĭragon Systems released NaturallySpeaking 1.0 as their first continuous dictation product in 1997. ![]() DragonDictate was based on a trigram model, and is known as a discrete utterance speech recognition engine. Users were forced to enunciate one word at a time, clearly separated by a small pause after each word. At the time, the hardware was not powerful enough to address the problem of word segmentation, and DragonDictate was unable to determine the boundaries of words during continuous speech input. He was President of the company and she was CEO.ĭragonDictate was first released for DOS, and utilized hidden Markov models, a probabilistic method for temporal pattern recognition. Baker, his wife, founded Dragon Systems to release products centered around their voice recognition prototype. James Baker laid out the description of a speech understanding system called DRAGON in 1975. The Professional version allows creation of custom commands to control programs or functions not built into NaturallySpeaking.ĭr. Voice profiles can be accessed by different computers in a networked environment, although the audio hardware and configuration must be identical to those of the machine generating the configuration. (Dragon does not support dictating to background windows.) The software has three primary areas of functionality: voice recognition in dictation with speech transcribed as written text, recognition of spoken commands, and text-to-speech: speaking text content of a document. As an example, dictated words appear in a floating tooltip as they are spoken (though there is an option to suppress this display to increase speed), and when the speaker pauses, the program transcribes the words into the active window at the location of the cursor.

When you first open Performance Monitor (perfmon), you see the following: So rather than going through each part of Performance Monitor and explaining it in depth, my aim here is to offer a quick guide to the tool. The intention of this blog post is to introduce new users to this powerful, and often underutilized, tool. Hello AskPerf! My name is Matt Graham and I will be writing a high level overview of the capabilities of Windows Performance Monitor. Your PC is pretty great at regulating its own chassis temperature, and if your components were really getting too toasty, you'd know about it before any harm was ever done.First published on TECHNET on Jul 17, 2014 Though now when I've got a good view of what's going on there, I let sleeping dogs lie after that. When I swap a component out, sure, I'll check the new kit is working as intended, and if I swap my PC case I'll keep an eye on temperatures. Nowadays, I tend to monitor my PC a little less. I used to be really obsessed with checking my temperatures and fan speeds, like annoyingly into it, and while I'm sure not everyone is going to want to to check their PC temps mid-game, I sure did. ![]() Now onto my second recommendation: maybe you don't always need to keep an eye on your PC's every electrical action. That is a bit of an all-in-one open RGB control app that not only simplifies the many apps you have to install and keep up-to-date, but also allows you to then ditch the proprietary monitoring software for something simpler. Though you might find you can get the same functionality from third-party tools such as OpenRGB (opens in new tab). So sometimes you're a bit stuck with one of them.Įven I'm stuck with a few of them and I'm not all that pleased about it. Those added extras are normally always to do with proprietary lighting or features on the manufacturers products that you might not be able to control easily elsewhere. There are tons to choose from, every manufacturer has one, basically, but they all achieve something along the lines of system monitoring with a few added extras along the way. Though what I've never been a fan of are the all-in-one manufacturer specific system monitoring tools, and that's why you won't find me recommending any here today. ![]() HWMonitor is fast, simple, logs all the information you could need out of it, and keeps track of every PC vital stat you could reasonably be after. That helps when you're doing some actively to the system and wish to monitor the impact those changes have in real-time. While it's effectively more of the same by way of monitoring, the handy GPU overclocking tools and live graph presentation really aid in easily understanding the monitoring data presented to you over time. ![]() I'd also like to give an honourable mention to the old hand that is MSI's Afterburner (opens in new tab) software. The built-in tools Performance tab offers a lot of data nowadays without the need for any third-party tools, and it'll even report your graphics card's temperature. Another system monitoring tool worth mentioning, and in keeping with the spirit of minimal fuss, is Windows' own Task Manager. |
