    My main concern was our application compatibility but I was pleasantly satisfied when it got along with server/sql 12 with no particular complaint other than needing the IE compatibility mode. In the lower left there is a little helper popup if you stick the mouse down there that appears now...

    iPhone syndrome

    I'm annoyed that they still haven't fixed the hidden APN menu problem. I'd be pissed if I still had an iPhone. I think it's rather important to be able to set the APN so you can use it on your network of choice, otherwise what's the point of getting the unlocked phone at such a huge price...

    question Which Tablets

    Also if you are part of googles open software alliance you can't release your own device without those things. Acer seems to be learning about that in the news recently. Seems they wanted to include as few as possible and skip all royalties but nearly got kicked out and instead killed the...

    question No more computers

    Do you get some sort of monetary compensation for using your own machine? If so sounds great. Do they still think they are going to tell you what is OK and what they don't want to see? No idea what Muko 5 is. I wish I could get rid of the crappy company machines they gave me.

    Android Software Development

    I hear this from multiple sources. I follow some developers here and there because they leak news but their gripes or comments on what is good and not I find interesting as well. For android I think the only reason it is so hard is because of the stagnant adoption of newer versions, 4 and 4.1...

    That's the brick wall I ran into when I discussed this with them. Far as I can tell the ISP might want a business account before they turn it on. A business account goes way above my $50 expense reimbursement limit. So I get a throttled pipe to the office and I don't know what their connection...

    VMware real to virtual and 7b stop errors

    Did win7 real to virtual and selected IDE disks and got the 7B/43 error which is pretty much a disk driver far as I can tell. System has ICH9M chipset that I think is set to AHCI but I would have to reboot to be sure. What's the recommended way to handle this? Install vmware tools before...

    Another ebay thing to * you off today. They charge you a final value fee on the shipping amount quoted on the site. This is assuming you didn't pay for shipping through ebay, just using them to price it. Additionally their pricing on shipping in my experience has always been way off, usually low...

    I want to buy a new car

    I think anything with a turbo these days is going to have comprehensive knock sensors and the ability to control it. I don't think there is any danger now but gas mileage and power take a noticeable hit when I run something like 87. I'm just referring to third party tuner maps to make the most...

    I want to buy a new car

    I have a Racing Mart with 103 in my town but I have no idea what it costs because the web lookup doesn't go beyond premium. I don't bother because I can get 93 almost anywhere here.

    I want to buy a new car

    Maybe it could be tweaked. My car is running a 93 octane map but I can switch down when I want. Requires some third party tools though.

    You can't switch to digital?

    KVM Issues

    I think so. The four pins around the big blade connector are the analog ones, if you don't have them somewhere that's the problem. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/DVI_pinout.svg

    KVM Issues

    Huh that is exactly the same switch that I used to use but the power supply died. the box for it doesn't really mention anything about analog it mentions DVI whole lot and it has a couple notes digital full DVI and USB connectivity. I never really tried to use analog through it.

    KVM Issues

    On your situation though you say running VGA through a DVI adapter, you know if the KVM supports analog video? Does it even have the four pins surrounding the blade connector? Do all of the adapters and cables support analog also?

    My Dell E6410/ intel 3000 video has a problem but it's more of a conflict between it and the Mac on the KVM.

    Yeah, append to the android thread? Sorry. I thought that the bigger screen helped mainly on web pages and email. Annoying that you can't zoom out on email beyond 100%, If I could zoom out to say 75% or 50% that would be so nice. Can do that on iPhone. I am simply unable to tap and drag the...
