Adblock fix for hardware.no paid subscription (hw.no) – updated

Hardware.no has been a good source for techno-information for years.
Now in the days of commercials Adblock is a must to survive in the jungle of information.
But when sites are doing a semi-paid commercial thingy, I get annoyed:

Adblock = ON

Hardware.no commercial for adblockers

Hardware.no commercial for adblockers

Adblock = OFF

Hardware.no with commercial

Hardware.no with commercial

If you also got annoyed, add this filter to your adblock-exception-rules:

@@||hardware.no/js/adtech_ad.js
@@||hardware.no/js/adtech*.js

If you don’t care about comments on the site, block jQuery all together, add:

http://static.tek.no/js/jquery.min.js?cb=1369321785
or
http://static.tek.no/js/jquery.min.js*

Earlier attempts does not work as expected. This will hide the commercial and show content

@@||tek.no$elemhide

That way the commercials and popups are long-gone-silver.

HW.no is active and tries to block attempts for blocking this.
If they are serious they should use sessions and hide articles behind a userportal solution.

If you have other sites that you would like to share tips like this, please let me know in the comment field!

Shuttle DS-47 does not support Intel 335 SSD

I have bought a DS-47 with 16 GB of RAM and a Intel 335 SSD.
The current BIOS does not detect the SSD-drive at all. Even changed from ACHI to IDE with no luck.
Tried the 335-drive on another computer and it worked there (upgraded firmware at the same time).

The DS47 BIOS installed (DS47D000.100). I’ve requested Shuttle for support, and they probably needs to update the BIOS.

Kulemodell (ball sorting system)

This video is from our main Automation-project at college HiT, back in 2005.
Sorting metal and plastic, packing metal for stock of 2 or 4 and sort plastic for stock of 4 balls.
Model was partly build when we took it over.

We installed the following to enhance the model:
* Siemens S7-300 w/Profibus controller
* High-speed input FM350 for S7-300
* As-i bus master for S7-300
* As-i bus I/O-hub (in “field”)
* Step-motor controller AT15R05
* Step-motor
* Siemens Profibus Touch Panel TP170B

We solved the task using Siemens S7 STL, SCL and HiGraph to minimize the cycle-time and resource usage.
