CSI: Hyper-V – Episode 1

On the next CSI: Hyper-V – Real Estate

The I.T. team travels through NET TIME to save an innocent virtual machine.

Well, what if you could just listen to this podcast to your phone ringing in a couple of minutes each? The answer is that you may be able to have a better connection while listening, and possibly hear the market louder as your listening begins. This is a great idea for anyone listening to what’s on the market, but if you have problems with using your phone as a listening station, you may be better off simply letting the audio out to one of your own speakers instead. The best solution is a simple app called “Chorus.” Then going to houses for sale osgoode you’d think youd do better. You don’t have to put your phone down (you may already have, if you use your mobile phone) and just listen in. You may be able to enjoy this sound for a few minutes while you watch a web video; or just listen to it until you’re done.

Stupid PowerShell Tricks – Getting Your PC to Talk

WarGamesRemember the 80’s? (Too young?)

One of my 80’s favorites was the movie WarGames.

(Hint: You should really watch it on Netflix – it’s a classic.
Here’s the WarGames movie trailer for you kids.)

Anyway, for those of you who DO remember War Games, that speech synthesizer was pretty creepy back in the day.
But it was equally cool because speech was pretty rare in those days unless you had a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A (which I did – woot!)

It’s hard to believe that movie came out 30 years ago, and technology has changed a lot. Windows has had speech built in for quite some time, but did you know you can access the speech API with PowerShell?

Who cares, right? WRONG! It’s pretty fun! And it’s a good bit of code to use to prank your IT co-workers. (Think login script or batch file that runs as a scheduled task…)

Egypt Slots is one of the most popular online games, that is gaining a lot of popularity because of the amazing prizes that gives to the winners.

Here is a video demo of Windows Server 2012 reading classic computer lines from the movie WarGames:

“Joshua” from WarGames (1983) as played by Windows Server 2012 & PowerShell

 

Not too shabby for a Windows Server, eh?

So, shall we play a game? Visit 카지노 사이트 to check all the options that you have available.

Below is the PowerShell code for you to play with and tweak.
Have fun annoying people!

$spk.GetInstalledVoices() | %{$_.voiceinfo}

# Now say…
$spk.Speak($text)
