Frequently Asked Questions

My machine always runs out of disk space. What can I do?

Solaris FAQ -- CMU/SCS Computing Facilities
Shuffling data around on the undersized disk to different filesystems and creating symbolic links is not recommended. In situations where your system disk is no longer of sufficient capacity to accomodate your work, please contact help@cs.cmu.edu to discuss purchasing a new disk. Please do not buy a disk for your workstation without consulting us, first. Some workstations can support additional internal disks.

Can we burn both wet and dry fuel?

Boiler & Steam Systems, LLC.
Yes! The big difference is that wet fuel may take 80% more air than dry fuel. Operationally, you may wish to meter the wet and dry fuel to create a consistent fuel blend or you may want to exhaust the least merchantable fuel before using a more valuable fuel. With the controls designed for this scenario, this can easily be accomplished. In general, any time there are continuous variations in fuel quality, it is desirable to have an operator near by the steam plant.

What should I do if my HydroGen unit ever runs dry?

Hydrogen Power FAQ
Should this happen, we recommend that you have your unit checked by a dealer or Certified Master Installer. If there is no dealer or Certified Master Installer available in your area, then follow the instructions in the User's Guide to bring your unit back to factory specifications. IMPORTANT: always wait until it has completely cooled down before adding any fluids. When the unit is hot, the cooler temperature of the distilled water or HydroBoost can cause the enclosure to crack.

How can you tell if your wood is dry and ready to burn?

Untitled Page
A moisture meter will accurately measure the moisture content of your wood. You can roughly check the dryness of your wood without a moisture meter by knocking two sticks together. If you hear a sharp sound, the wood is probably dry. If you hear a dull thud, the wood is not fully seasoned. Cracking and checking on the edges of a stick of firewood also indicates that the wood is seasoned and dry.

What if my steamer runs dry during use?

Will the machine operate automatically so I can do other things while the machine runs?

Yes! The TOYOTA embroidery machine has an automatic stitching routine that does not require operator intervention during stitching. The machine will automatically start and stop and will neatly trim excess thread when necessary. Most models will even change thread colors automatically. The finished embroidery is ready to display. You can work with customers, do administrative work or simply drink a cup of coffee while the machine stitches up to a fast 1200 stitches per minute.

How do I burn an .iso image from my Windows XP machine?

ADIOS FAQ
Since Windows XP's built-in CD burning engine does not support burning ISO images to disk, you will need a third-party solution. There are lots of free or shareware utilities for Windows that can burn ISO images. Perhaps one came with your CD burner. (e.g. Nero) I used ISO Recorder Power Toy. It is a UI component that allows the use of the CD-Recording capabilities of Windows XP to record ISO images and copy CD to CD. The ISO Recorder uses existing OS features to copy an ISO image.

Will I get a suntan? Can I burn?

Oxsoralen® | Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients develop a tan or deepening of their normal skin pigmentation from PUVA therapy. The tanning may be uneven at first, with skin color lighter in areas affected by psoriasis. Some patients also develop freckles - particularly dark freckles - in areas affected by psoriasis.9 Burning from light treatment is a potential serious side effect of PUVA therapy. Regardless of how carefully light treatment is administered, some redness is likely to occur, especially at the beginning of therapy.

Glaurung runs extremely slowly on my machine. What could be wrong?

Glaurung FAQ
Check that the value of the "Number of threads" UCI parameter (or the "Threads" parameter in Glaurung 2) matches the number of CPU cores on your computer. Glaurung is not able to programmatically detect the number of CPUs, and may sometimes use two search threads by default on single-CPU computers. This will cause the program to run extremely slowly. If you compile Glaurung yourself, you must also make sure that NDEBUG is defined.

How can I change the Java virtual machine that runs D2K?

ALG: D2K FAQs
D2K is installed using the InstallAnywhere product. On Windows and Unix platforms, the runtime parameters of D2K are customizable by editing the <INSTALL-DIRECTORY>/d2k.lax file. If you want to change the Java Virtual Machine, modify the lax.nl.current.vm item. On the Mac OSX platform, you should edit the <INSTALL-DIRECTORY>/D2KToolkit/D2KToolkit.app/Contents/Info.plist file. This file is only visible when using the Terminal application.

If my machine crashes or runs out of power, will I lose all my work?

Laptop Mode / Laptop Mode Tools FAQ | Laptop Mode Tools
If you have laptop mode enabled and your machine crashes, then you will lose up to MAX_LOST_WORK_SECONDS seconds of work. If you really need to have something written to disk, issue the "sync" command. If you have laptop mode enabled and your machine runs out of power, you will not lose as much work (provided you have an ACPI laptop, as most current PC laptops are) because laptop mode is automatically disabled when the battery almost runs out.

speedDIAL runs very slowly on my machine, is there anything I can check or adjust to address this?

WORLDPAC - speedDIAL Frequently Asked Question
Yes. Insufficient RAM is the most likely culprit causing slowness when speedDIAL is running, although other factors, such as processor speed, limited or fragmented hard-drive space and multiple simultaneous program usage can play a role as well. To check the system memory, right click on the 'My Computer' icon on your Windows desktop, and select 'Properties' the system memory is the last line visible on the 'General' tab.

How can I obtain the Ethernet MAC-address of the machine JUG runs on?

Java UUID Generator - FAQ
Before version 1.0, your options would be limited to using native tools and passing address to JUG, or using dummy randomly generated broadcast addresses. However, beginning from version 1.0, there exists limited support for C/JNI - based native access for obtaining interface addresses. To test that you can use JNI code, you can also directly invoke class org.safehaus.uuid.NativeInterfaces: its main() method will try to access the Ethernet address of the primary interface.

Who runs ANSMET?

ANSMET - Frequently Asked Questions
During its twenty year history of NSF support, the ANSMET program has been funded by the Earth Sciences section in the Office of Polar Programs.
