Now... do you know of a good (cheap) source of LVDS panels?

Why not a cheaper model with a USB/Serial adapter? Granted it wouldn't be a huge savings, but it'd be a little bit. Out of silly curiosity, would it be in range of a bluetooth connection from the supervisor's PC? A decent bluetooth/serial adapter would be significantly cheaper and more...

Is there a specific program you're using to communicate with the irrigation controller, or is it just hyperterm sort of stuff?

Personally I use a program called EditPlus. It doesn't really matter, though, so long as the program has decent auto-formatting options (mostly regarding tabbing) and good syntax highlighting. I can't even begin to count the number of times syntax highlighting has helped me figure out what's...

Ok... the Toshiba DLP projector on the Best Buy PDF, page 11. I'm trying to look up that particular model and having no luck. Other sites are linking me to the TDP-T9U, I would suppose because it has the same picture. Can anybody give me either some reassurance that this is the T9U or give...

I don't have any problem applying pressure, I just lack an instrument with which to apply pressure in such a tight space. Also, I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to be doing (the article says to pull the clip towards me, is this what I want to do?) because I've never done this and I can't...

So my girlfriend's 15" aluminum powerbook caught the click of death last weekend. Bought a replacement hard drive and I've been trying to follow this set of instructions for opening up the laptop and swapping drives. Looked like no big deal before I tried it, but I'm getting stuck at the last...

A further shortcut! Now I don't have to change the database, excellent. Thanks, guys.

Are you sure about the missing parenthesis? I count the right number. And yes, I know they're not needed. That's what Access did to the query, though, so I thought (hoped) it might be happier. I think I just now made significant progress, though. It appears that OLE thinks "size" is a...

I've got a client's website here written in ASP and connecting to an Access database. Their old host allowed ODBC connections, but they moved to a new host that only supports DSN-less OLE connections. Changing the site from using the ODBC DSN to the OLE connection string should have been as...

I read that he found someone consistently using his wireless connection that he'd like to cause problems for, or at least find out more information about, not just that he noticed a rogue DHCP entry and would like to make sure no more of them show up.

The single greatest Java resource is the Java API. Bookmark it, save it locally, hell, print out a copy and put it under your pillow if you have to. Learn to love it.

Start logging his data if it's passing through your network. Using a combination of social engineering and likely stupidity on his part I'm sure you can do some damage.

http://synergy2.sf.net perhaps?

I've got a system that I'm trying to build that's using an Adaptec 2400A RAID controller. When I boot it and hit CTRL+A to go to the RAID controller setup, it says "SMOR missing" and then does nothing else. I found this PDF that has instructions on how to reset the NVRAM, and also how to do a...

One of those blocks is about to fall out. 5th unit up from the bottom, the block under its left side looks like it's just supporting the rackmount tab.

Seems like a really bad idea to break the panel intentionally. If you've got 6 stuck pixels anyways, though, it's a rather moot point. Make them replace it.

I use a small messenger bag type thing that's got a super-small compartment that's damn near made for my laptop (Latitude X1). Enough room for a book and a couple of notebooks (in addition to my laptop). Does the job quite nicely, I think.

Not the best picture, but good enough to get the idea. edit: Damn, that pic's bigger than I thought. Sorry.

Good call. I rule at reading.

...Any interest in selling your laptop?

I bought one for my girlfriend and one for myself this spring. Hers has minor backlighting issues, mine's pretty damned good.

If you're that convinced you're too stupid to learn Java, we can't help you. The best thing I think you can do now is to just learn Java and be done with it. It's not complicated, and if you thought you could handle C++ you can handle Java.

If you're reasonably proficient with C++ you should be able to do Java no problem. It's like C++ except harder to hurt yourself with.

You're not likely to find one of those crazy 45% off coupons for it, but I'd suggest looking at the Latitude X1. I've got one, and the keyboard is amazingly large for such a small computer. It's really comfortable to type on. The screen, while it could be a little brighter (I think that might...

I'm pretty sure nView can do this for you. I dunno if HydraVision can as well.

Oh damn it to hell. Now I'm tempted to jump on this thing.

You might be able to find an older X series for $800.

Some users have reported problems with the projector failing very prematurely (within the 1-year retail warranty, but typically out of the 90-day refurbished warranty). One of them contact InFocus and apparently it's a known issue where the heat buildup of 4+ continuous hours of use will cause...

Have they fixed the issues with heat and the bearings on the DLP engine?

More memory would degrade performance because Windows would have to manage all the extra memory, making it most confused.

You mean eBay?

I paid $389 + shipping (each) for both of mine.

It flashes a few basic colors on the screen very rapidly. Leave it running for a few hours at least. Google will probably find it.

Try the dead pixel exerciser. Chances are it'll come out, if it wasn't there initially and just suddenly showed up.

How often do you actually use the optical drive on a laptop, though? <-- X1 owner who's never even plugged in his D-Bay optical drive

So... if you crusaders can take a break from your idiocy, has anybody actually received a registration code yet?

1. I have a mere 3 monitors at the moment (I'd personally love to have in the 6-8 range between my various computers) because the extra screen real estate is absolutely worth the money for what I do (programmer). If you're the check-your-email-and-play-games type, then it probably won't do a...

Me! Used to lug my i8200 to class every single day, now it's a Latitude X1. Sweet, precious lightweight laptop.
