Hi mark,
I have not tried that adapter, but if I wanted to do what you do, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. It's got all the correct/necessary inputs and outputs and the reviews are good. At least two of the negative reviews were because the user didn't know the difference between mirror and extended desktop. The vast majority of the rest of the reviews were positive. I'd say go for it.

  • Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and a good program to detect one on your mac? I think I may have one.

    So yesterday I found out that my email address password had been changed. I don't remember doing this, but it is possible I changed it a while back and considering I keep my email constantly logged in. But at the same time, two of my apps were trying to access their "store". I play a game called League of Legends, which has an online store, and it randomly came up with the message "Could not connect to Maestro" (credit card). Then, Itunes (which I rarely use) came up with "sorry, we could not continue with your purchase". I think it's very strange that all of this happened at the same time, but hopefully it's a case of a forgotten password and two games bugging/crashing. I scanned my entire computer with iantivirus and it hasn't found anything, but I've heard keyloggers can be a bit hard to detect. Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and if so, what program did you use to detect and destroy it?

    If you think that a keylogger has been installed the only safe thing you can do is erase your drive and reinstall.
    I don't think that is the case however.

  • Anybody have any experience with JPad Pro ?

    I have just now downloaded JPad Pro version 5.0 from the web site www.modelworks.com
    Does anybody have any experience with JPad Pro? I would appreciate if people who have worked using JPad pro give me thier opinions about it.
    Thanks.
    Vijay

    I have never used it...I find jEdit to be valuable to me...mainly for the syntax highlighting..
    My first 2 yrs' coding was spent with "notepad" and or "vi" (text editors) and command line javac...
    I am of two minds as to whether to recommend this approach for everyone...I feel closer to the code I write in a notepad...but often times I missed things like "boolian" instead of "boolean" ... things that syntax highlighting assist you with... and unclosed brackets...which when you use an editor like jEdit (or I imagine jPad pro) you can catch easier, due to the auto-indentation.. Searching for these bugs teaches you little other than to be careful while typing :-)
    I still run "javac" from the command line ... I think jEdit has a way for me to call it from the GUI..but I've never used it.
    If it feels right to you..it is not wrong...the only thing I will NEVER use is a code-writing abomination... some people (even advanced users, and I will not say that they are pansies) use them.. In anything but expert hands, they are catastrophically dangerous.
    The risk for code-writing IDEs is that you didn't write it, and there is an extra (un-needeed) level of abstraction from the code, one more level of complexity, that is a blockade to truly understanding the code and improving/maintaining it....

  • Has anyone had any experience with using 'MacKeeper'?

    Has anyone had any experience using 'MacKeeper'?

    I am afraid its worsen then THAT!!. I bought two licences from those fraud spammers, liftetime with "satisfaction or moneyback guarentee".
    Both my Imac and MacPro kept crashing after installing it. All the helpdesk from zeobit did for me was sending me mails i should re-install osx and mackeeper.
    When that didnt help, the gave in. I asked my money back, as in the guarentee. Thet denied flat out. "Sir this is not OUR software causing the problem, but OSX. Go there with your complained!"

  • Has anybody had any problems with the ODBC driver version 10.2.0.2.0?

    Hi,
    I have experienced a problem with my current version of the ODBC driver (version 10.1.0.2) and have been advised to upgrade to the newest version 10.2.0.2.0.
    As the driver was only released a couple of months ago, I am a bit wary about upgrading. Has anybody out there had any issues with the reliability of this driver or does it seem to be pretty stable?
    Thanks very much,
    Caroline

    Sorry, forgot to mention it is on linux.
    Setting SetJavaHome in the jdev.conf did not help.
    I did find a way to at least start the IDE though.
    Either comment out SetJavaVM in the jdev.conf or start jdev with the -client option
    Also to note:
    I downloaded the jdk 1.4.2 32 bit for x86 and i can't get jdev to start:
    current locale is not supported in X11, locale is set to CX locale modifiers are not supported, using defaultjava.lang.InternalError: Current locale is not supported

  • Anybody got any experience with upgrading Spamassassin to version 3.1.2

    Spamassassin 3.1.2 seems to have much improved (expanded) rules (over 3.0.1 supplied with 10.4). It would seem to be a good idea to upgrade. Are there any gotchas? How would one go about it?
    Also, if I want to kill an email address, ie: reject all email to that address, but still use a catch-all on the domain, how would I do that?
    Cheers.

    When you have spamassassin of os x server already running it is simple to upgrade spamassassin. I never had any problems - tested on three tiger - mailservers.
    Simply follow the instructions on http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.1/INSTALL and upgrade on 3.1.3 (it reports itself as 3.001003) using the terminal and the perl-helper-app MCPAN .
    When doing this the first time you may respond to the questions asked, but you can also choose you are not ready for a manual configuration. This does not interfere with amavis, clamav or anything else.
    Worst thing that could happen is that you need to install the most recent perl-libraries on which spamassassin is dependent on...

  • Has anybody had any experience using either mySQL or postgreSQL?

    I am currently looking at a project requiring database integration and in addition to the usual suspects (Oracle, SQL Server) I am also interested in mySQL and postgreSQL. Advantages? Disadvantages? Has anybody used these with LV--especially to store BLOBS?

    Mike,
    Here are the main differences...
    MySQL is licensed under the GPL, but for about $400 you can buy a comercial license.
    PostgreSQL is licensed under the BDS, which means you don't ever have to pay to use it.
    Both have ODBC drivers (myODBC and psqlODBC), so talking to them from LabVIEW is a no-brainer.
    PostgreSQL has more features like store proceedures and subqueries, so if you have complex data processing, you can handle them on the server side.
    MySQL has fewer features and is probably simpler to administer, but I _think_ that the next version might have subquery capabilities. It's also faster for simple commands.
    As far as BLOBs are concerned, here's what I dug up:
    In Postgres, Large Objects are very special beasties. You need
    to create them using lo_create function and store the result of the function - OID - in a regular table. Later you can manipulate the LOB using the OID and other functions - lo_read/lo_write, etc. Large object support is broken in Postgres - pg_dump cannot dump LOBs; you need to develop your own backup mechanism. Tthe team is working on implementing large rows; this will replace current LOB support.
    In MySQL, text and binary LOBs are just fields in the table. Nothing special - just INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT and DELETE it the way you like. There are some limitations on indexing and applying functions to these fields.
    I hope this is enough to get you started. I suggest you STFW (Search the Fine Web). You will get many results from "MySQL vs PostgreSQL".
    Here are a couple that I found.

  • Anyone had any experience with the Samsom C01u?

    I've been seeing this microphone about but I'm hearing distressing reports on its compatibility with Macs. Any first-hand users?
    G5 2.3 mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    It's the convenience issue that interests me most. My daughter is a flautist and she likes to record her practice sessions onto her laptop so she may analyze them afterward. Setting up a condenser mic and a preamp and a phantom power source becomes cumbersome (and her mother complains about the spaghetti tangle of cables and interfaces in her practice room/guest room). She'd like something that doesn't require a recording engineer to be on hand. She doesn't want to make professional quality recordings. The quality of the recording should be good enough, however, where it might be used as an audition.

  • Has anyone had any experience with iDVD and latest release of iMovie?

    Trying to get latest version of iMovie (version 10.0) burned to iDVD.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save.
    Go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you just created. It will bring the video into your iDVD project.

  • Any experience with HP PSC1510 or 1610 printer scanner

    I need to buy a new printer and I have been looking at the HP printer scanner combinations. Does anybody have any experience with either the 1510 or 1610.

    I have a PSC 1510, but it's connected to a linksys pintserver switch, and i haven't tried to connect it directly through usb.
    I haven't been able to get Scanning working over this printserver, other than that it works fine.
    Installing the printer in arch was a lot faster and easier than in windows 98 & XP, where i had to use the HP software.
    the 1510 itself gives good quality prints and speed.

  • 5300 RAM showing up as 3200 in Quad, any experience with this problem?

    Hello, just received a 2 gig kit for my G5 Quad (2 - 1 gig sticks from Crucial). System Profiler shows it's speed at 3200, lower than the original 512 RAM which is 4200. Crucial says it will only reach 4200, but why is the new RAM showing up at 3200? Tried removing original RAM and only using the new, same speed displayed - 3200.
    Has anyone had any experience with this oddity? Any idea if the RAM is not performing or the Mac is not giving accurate speed data?
    Thanks, Steve

    Memory identified as PC2600 in MDD
    Symptom
    Apple Hardware Test identifies the computer's memory as "PC2600" rather than "PC2700".
    Products affected
    * Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors)
    * Apple Hardware Test version 1.2.6
    Solution
    There is nothing wrong with your computer's memory. This issue is addressed in Apple Hardware Test 1.2.7. If you have version 1.2.6 and are experiencing this issue, contact AppleCare for a replacement disc.
    Apple is aware of that. It first showed up in 10.3.0 and has been there ever since. The issue with the above DDR2 is I think different and unique.
    With the MDD, Apple used Micron in the system I got, and I added Crucial. Both show up as '2600.'
