  • Yeah, um, I think I tried tesseract for Ahn Meong-Chul's book (he was a guard at SEVERAL NK concentration camps). I did NOT get good results with tesseract. And honestly, I thought Linux was supposed to work well with Canon 8400 scanner.

    Speaking as an Asperger's autism person, sometimes I just need to see things summarized in "ten words or less". I am grateful for the internet, specifically Wikipedia, telling me about freemasonry. I suggest it is not something I will engage in. The Korean school (for deaf and disabled) was founded by a family there, and there is absolutely...

  • No, I don't think I want to create a PDF. I scanned pages from Ahn Meong-Chul's book (in Korean) and uploaded the JPEG to a website that specializes in OCR of foreign languages, one page at a time. Then I cut and paste the characters into Office 97 (which can handle Korean). I open the paper book and re-format the Word document so the paragraphs and quotation marks, and sub-chapter headings match the paper book. Then upload one paragraph at a time to Google Translate.

    My new Japanese book will be the same way, but I have to install a Japanese language capability, whether Win7...

  • I'm sorry. Amazon's listing does not tell me. ISBN search websites don't tell me either.

    I did get my copy of DOGANI today (Korean). It appears to be the testimony of about 100 abused children that inspired the movie "SILENCED". An art teacher sees physical and sexual abuse in 2005 in a Korean school for the deaf and other disabilities. I haven't even finished scanning Ahn Meong-Chol's book yet (in Korean, discussed in another thread), and now I have another Korean book to scan.

    By the way, if you ever want a good book to read, there is a book "SPOTLIGHT"...

  • Japanese language -- Win7 or Linux Mint?

    I ordered a Japanese book, it will never be published in English. A Mr. Fujumoto was a Japanese sushi chef who became a cook for Kim Jong-Il. He was not perceived as a threat to the dictator's power, so he became very close to the dictator. Apparently, the dictator is QUITE hedonistic, with a lot of debauchery. Although he can spend as much as $700,000 per year on alcoholic beverages and this alcohol is NOT actually the highest quality. Also, the dictator has 24 palaces. One of them is as large as TEN YANKEE STADIUMS PUT TOGETHER. Are they all that large?

    Does anyone have experience...

  • Blasting relatively noisy 80mm fans directly at the board might be an odd thing to do, and it might look unattractive. Like painting a Rolls-Royce luxury car the same light green as a Lamborghini. But if I think it leads to longer board life, I will do it.

  • Thank you. It looks like I found the problem. The Seasonic Fanless 460 (it was not the 400) was apparently having heat-related problems.

    I moved the Seasonic Fanless 460 to the AMD 5350 system running the pfSense BSD-based ad-blocker (much lighter load). The PSU that was in the AMD / pfSense system was the Seasonic M12 "eye-eye" 520W. I don't do "roman numbers", so that is how I say it. That PSU is now in my "problematic" AMD 8150 Win7 system. I have been running Youtube for HOURS now, and there is no rebooting.

    I just read an old review...

  • Thank you.

    My Seasonic Fanless 400 is old, but it sat unused in my house for quite a few years. I have the equipment lying around to measure power consumption, but I do not think the PSU is overloaded.

    So I really don't think that is the problem, but at this point I simply MUST try another PSU. It could be the problem, after all.

    It looks like the PSU review site "realhardtechx" won't let me see their database anymore unless I allow them to send notifications to my browser anytime they want. I refuse. I am typing this on my AMD 5350/Mint system....

  • Thank you. I do remember choosing to install extra font packages years ago, I'll have to look into it.

    Guess what just happened to my new board? Random reboots after a couple of hours of use. Am I pushing my memory controller too hard? Is the north bridge or south bridge heat sink too small? Should I move down to an AMD 4100 or 4200 chip to go to from the 125W CPU to the 95W CPU? Does this mean the AsRock 970A board that "failed" a few months ago really did NOT fail, but a chip simply overheated out of spec? Maybe using the 16 GB DDR3 RAM modules (NON-ECC) is not TRULY...
