I purchased a Dell U2312HM that has a displayport input. I hooked it up to my imac and it outputs, though there is this flickering of sorts happening. At first i thought it might be the cheap cable I bought from monoprice (MDP-> DP), but when I tried it with my MBA there was no flickering whatsoever.

I’m thinking my thunderbolt port on the imac is bad.

Any thoughts?

Just bought a MDP>DVI adaptor and no problems.

VNC?

With the Raspberry Pi nearly here, it’s time to make the decision.

I had decided I would teach my kids C++, but I understand it’s a little steeper of a learning curve than some other languages.

I’ve heard a lot of people recommend Python. I would have to learn it along with them, which I don’t object to, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the trouble.

The oldest is almost 7.

Does anybody know how to do this for microsoft outlook? I need to reformat my computer and I really do not want to lose all my reminders/emails. I know this can be done by saving certain files however I’m not sure which ones.

Thanks

Also, don’t forget to grab your outlook.nk2 file as that’s the one that contains your autocomplete entries from the to and cc boxes.

Thanks..
What about the reminders. Isn’t there a file holding that information. I’ll be honest I’m more worried about the reminders than e-mails.

How long have your computer been powered on? My computers has been powered on about 170 minutes since last boot, it has been powered on 704 times and the total uptime is 2064 hours Can you beat that 😛

I have to upload shell scripts to a remote SVN in order to keep versioning offsite.

I tried all day to get xcode to work with the remote SVN but apparently 4.2 is just too buggy for it. I even tried to uninstall and install a previous version but I kept getting errors during installation.

So my question is what would be a good alternative? I could use command line svn but a gui would be easier for the projects I’ll be doing.

Thanks

So i picked my girlfriend up an Android phone, it’s a Droid X and it has some kind of rom on it, called RubiX something.
Does anyoine know how to get it back to be just like from the factory? She has no idea how to use a rooted phone, and i don’t either, as i have the iPhone 4s… So any help would be appreciated.

This should answer all your questions. May have to register to view links.

Official Droid X 4.5.602 SBF is the most current sbf that I am aware of.

I recently started a job that takes me to up to 50 residences a day. I was using trackroad.com to build a route and their iPhone app but I didn’t like that it uses my phone all day.

I then got a Garmin 2460LMT and have been adding routes to it daily that I build on trackroad.com, but this is somewhat of a lengthy process. To do this, I first download a .csv (Excel) file from my company’s website that has all my stops for the day. I then upload this file to trackroad.com which builds an optimized route based on location. I then download a.gpx file from trackroad.com which I then upload to the 2460 and wait for it to do its thing.
