Login & Access

Can I access the Education Community website even if I am not a student?Maybe. To participate in the Autodesk Education Community, you must agree to and comply with the applicable Terms of Use and also satisfy the following eligibility requirements. You must be one of the following: (a) a faculty member; or (b) a student; or (c) an Autodesk Assistance Program participant.

A faculty member is an employee at a primary or secondary educational institution or any degree-granting or certificate-granting educational institution or any learning, teaching or training facilities and who upon request by Autodesk is able to provide proof of such status.

A student is an individual enrolled at a recognized degree-granting or certificate-granting educational institution for three (3) or more credit hours in a degree-granting or certificate granting education program or in a nine (9) month or longer certificate program, and upon request by Autodesk is able to provide proof of such enrollment.

An Autodesk Assistance Program participant is either a veteran or unemployed individual who has previously worked in the architecture, engineering, design or manufacturing industries, completed the online registration for the Autodesk Assistance Program, and upon request by Autodesk is able to provide proof of eligibility for that program.

I heard that you need a school email address to join the Autodesk Education Community, but our school does not issue them to students. How can I get my students onto the community website?A school email address is not required to join. If your school is already participating, students will be prompted to specify their school during registration. If your school is not yet participating, you may request to add your school.

I’ve registered on the Education Community website, but I have never received an email confirming my access. What should I do?There may be a typo in the email address provided. Please resubmit your registration with careful attention to the spelling.

Your school’s email system has strong email SPAM blockers, so emails sent from Autodesk may have been rerouted. Check your email filter (Junk mail) and talk to your school’s IT department about accepting emails from studentcommunity@autodesk.com and eregconfirmations@autodesk.com. Request to have this email resent.

How is the Student Version Different?

Are there restrictions on functionality of the software that I get on the Education Community?No. The software you get from the Autodesk Education Community is the full-featured, sophisticated software used by professionals all around the world.

Does the software that I get on the Education Community “timeout” after a period of time?Yes. The software you get from the Autodesk Education Community comes with a 36 month license.

Are older versions of software available on the Education Community?The Education Community generally offers the most current version of a software title plus two versions back. Some exceptions apply.

Spamihilator 0.9.9.53

2010-02-03T15:47:00.002+05:30

Spamihilator works between your E-Mail client and the Internet and examines every incoming E-Mail. Useless spam mails (Junk) will be filtered out. This process runs completely in the background. The Learning Filter (Bayesian Filter) uses the rules of Thomas Bayes (English mathematician, 18th century) and calculates a certain Spam-Probability for every E-Mail. You can train this filter! So it will know your messages even better than you. Hence the recognition rate will continuously increase.

The program works with almost every E-Mail client, such as Outlook 2000/XP/2003/Express, Eudora, Mozilla Thunderbird, IncrediMail, Pegasus Mail, Phoenix Mail, Opera, etc... It supports POP and IMAP accounts, as well as secure connections.

Spam Recognition Filters:

The Learning Filter recognizes more than 98% of all incoming spam mails. Use the Training Area, to increase the recognition rate continuously.
You can also specify certain words, that often appear in spam mails. The Spam-Word-Filter will look for these words.
The Link Filter searches incoming messages for links to spam websites.
The DCC-Filter connects with the DCC Network to recognize unsolicited bulk mail.

Seagate Announces Momentus Thin The World's Thinnest 2.5" Drive

2009-12-26T21:26:00.000+05:30

Seagate Unveils World's Thinnest 2.5-Inch Hard Drive For Slim Laptop Computers

Seagate Technology (NASDAQ:STX) today announced the Momentus ® Thin drive, the world’s thinnest 2.5-inch hard disk drive for ultra-portable and entry-level laptops, high-end netbooks, backup devices and consumer electronics. At a wafer-thin 7mm in height – 25 percent slimmer than traditional 9.5mm 2.5-inch laptop hard drives – the Momentus Thin drive gives original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and system integrators significantly lower cost-per-gigabyte storage than solid state and 1.8-inch drives, enabling a new breed of entry-level thin laptops.

Of all netbook computers available today, 90 percent feature 9.5mm 2.5-inch laptop drives because solid state and 1.8-inch hard drives are largely cost-prohibitive for this market. The Momentus Thin drive provides affordable, thin storage for netbooks and slim laptops, enabling computer makers to offer systems that reach a broader market.

“The Momentus ® Thin drive promises to help computer makers differentiate on mobile-computing form factor and better compete in the fast-growing markets for thin laptop PCs and netbooks,” said Dave Mosley, executive vice president of Sales, Marketing and Product Line Management at Seagate. “Seagate is committed to helping its OEM and system integrator partners meet market demand for thinner laptop PCs and plans to expand storage capabilities for thin laptops as demand for these slimmer models continues to grow.”

The Momentus Thin drive rivals traditional 2.5-inch laptop drives in performance and power-efficiency, enabling thin-chassis designs in all segments of notebook computing and allowing OEMs both to design in greater value on high-end netbooks for easier upselling and to create a wider value differentiation between consumer and commercial laptop PCs. The Momentus Thin drive features two capacity points – 250GB and 160GB – an 8MB cache, a Serial ATA 3Gb/second interface and a 5400RPM spin speed. The drive is scheduled to ship to Seagate’s OEM and integrator partners in January 2010.

The Seagate ® Momentus ® family now helps laptop makers give home and business users a sweeping upgrade path – from netbooks, often purchased as introductory, low-cost laptop PCs strictly for emailing and Internet surfing, to notebooks offering mainstream business and consumer applications, to feature-rich, high-performance laptops, all in standard-size and the increasingly popular thin models. Seagate Momentus 5400RPM and 7200RPM hard drives in the traditional 9.5mm height combine the industry’s broadest feature set – including self-encryption, FIPS 140-2 certification and free-fall sensors – with up to 640GB of capacity, fast 3Gb/second Serial ATA interface speeds, cache sizes as large as 16MB, and among the highest hard drive shock-tolerance, acoustics and reliability specifications for entry-level, mainstream and high-performance laptops.
