Finding the right resolution for MBP to projector

Hi there,
I have a lecturer who uses a MBP 15" to project powerpoint slides and him using circuit modelling software.
What I've noticed is the whole setup is quite cumbersome:
eg:
The projected image is not wide screen like the MBP (i am guessing the projector is at 1024x768)
This means when he runs a simulation for eg. the output pops up in it's own window, and usually off the visible screen on the projector.
needless to say, he spends alot of time awkwardly resizing windows and shifting them around just to illustrate a basic point.
My question is, if I help him resize the resolution so his MBP matches the projector, will the MBP switch back to native when he unplugs it? Will the MBP remember the projector settings next time, and resize automatically when he plugs it in, or will he have to fiddle with resolutions everytime he plugs it in? ( if so, shame on you apple!)
If so, does anyone know of a utility out there that would make this process easier? ie Detect that the projector is connected/disconnected and change the resolution accordingly.
Thanks for your help - it's difficult watching him fiddle as the proj screen is behind him and he has to turn around to see what's acutally visible to the class! It should be easier than that - it's an Apple!
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi
I have the same issue - when I'm presenting, most of the time I use the customer's projector, so I have no idea what resolution it will be. My MBP 17" widescreen generally offers me different resolutions after the autodetect, but they're either larger than the projector display, or half the slides are missing on the right hand side.
Is there a way to choose other resolutions?
Regards
Shaun

An absolute URL will be a complete URL, it traces from the abosulte root of a file's location on a server...
http://www.thesite.com/assets/images/Front_Page_Rotating_Banner/banners.xml
A relative URL is anything short of including the http://domain..., and is read relative to wherever the file using it exists
assets/images/Front_Page_Rotating_Banner/banners.xml
In Flash files though, relative links need to be specified relative to the HTML page that embeds the swf. So if the swf is in a different folder than the html page that embeds it, the swf's targeting must be adjusted as if it were actually in the html file's folder.

Trying to Find the Right Phone for Me

Hello,
I'm thinking of switching to a BlackBerry, and could use a bit of help finding the right phone for me. I've browsed through them, but so far haven't been able to find what I'm looking for (and I'm not able to find out which phones have UMA or not in the compare section).
Provider isn't important, as I'm fine changing my service.
I'm looking for a phone that is:
* Both WiFi and UMA compatible
* GPS compatible
* Preferably with a Camera
Thanks for the help!

You can refer to cc man pages. Here is about predefinitions:
Predefinitions:unix
sparc (SPARC)
i386 (x86)
sun
The above are not predefined in -Xc mode.
These predefinitions are valid in all modes:
__BUILTIN_VA_ARG_INCR
__SUNPRO_C=0x590
__SVR4(SPARC)
__SunOS(Solaris)
__SunOS_OSN.N(Solaris)
__amd64(x86 with-m64)

__sun(Solaris)
__unix
__�uname -s�_�uname -r�
__x86_64(x86)
linux(x86,linux)
The following is predefined in -Xa and -Xt modes only:
__RESTRICT
The compiler also predefines the object-like macro
__PRAGMA_REDEFINE_EXTNAME,
to indicate the pragma will be recognized.

Macbook doesn't have the right resolution for external monitor.

I have a Macbook Pro runing OS X 10.7.5 and have a HP w1907 LCD monitor. When I have the Macbook open, I can get the proper resoulution of 1440x900 on the LCD while the monitors are Mirrored. But when the macbook is closed, the options for the LCd monitor are replaced by VGA display. The VGA Display options do not have the 1440x900 resolution option.
What do I have to do to get my monitor's native resolution back while keeping the macbook closed.

Aha - got luck: In Preferences/DIsplays click in the window and press 'Option' - the 'Gather Windows' button changes to 'Detect Displays' and when clicked, discoverd the correct resolution.
That does it.

Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
You can rename ''localstore.rdf'' to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' to test if that solves it.
Then you can restore the customization by copying ''localstore.rdf.sav'' to ''localstore.rdf'' if it didn't work.

How do you find the right replacement for a hard drive

i have a 2007 macbook and the hard drive just went out and i want to find a new one that would be combatible

For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
Or OWC for regular hard drives and SSDs http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
After you put in your new hard disk put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

I can not resolve a plugin-container.exe error while processing payroll through ADP &have been unable to find the right fix for this. I can send error report.

I have been receiving this error now for a few weeks and have been through multiple layers of IT help trying to resolve it with ADP/Chase Payroll services. When I go to print pay vouchers I get the plugin-container.exe error and I can not print the vouchers. I can provide screen shots if this would help. Can you please advise on how to proceed to resolve this?

This is an issue with that plugin crashing, which isn't something we can really resolve for you. Try to disable it, find a replacement, update it, or contact their support

I have Firefox 3.0.10 and cannot seem to find the right plugin for reading pdfs. I've installed Adobe Reader but it doesn't work. Help.

I cannot seem to find or install a plug in for reading pdfs in the browser window. I get that yellow bar telling me I need a plug in and click to install but nothing happens or changes

You're going to need an '''older version''' of that extension from here: <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7518/versions/
Firefox PDF Plugin version 1.1.2 = for 3.0.x and 3.5.x versions <br />
The latest is only for Firefox 3.6.x versions.
'''Or''', you could upgrade to a newer version of Firefox!

NEED HELP FINDING THE RIGHT APP FOR MY IPAD!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M TRYING TO FIND A APP FOR MY IPAD THAT YOU CAN TYPE A LETTER OR PRESENTATION THEN CLICK PRINT AND IT WILL GO TO A WIRELESS PRINTER!!!!!!

There are a large number of word processing programs available. A simple app store search in the productivity section will bring up a wide range, from Docs2Go to Pages and many in between. There are also simple text editors, such as Elements and others which are cheaper, but not as full featured.
For printing, you need an HP printer that supports AirPrint. No special app on the iPad will allow you to print to any printer, just to those that are AirPrint enabled.
Being on a PC, I don't know of any other printing options. If you have a Mac available, you can install Printopia, and print wirelessly to any printer your Mac can print to.

Find the right class for this...

2 simple questions.
What would be a good class to use to store multiple lines of strings to be output like in a message?
Is there any good online faq/guide for using the A.P.I.? Something that you personally think would be useful to the beginner programmer... not the online documents that Sun provides.
TIA

best class would be a StringBuffer.
As for your other question, the j2se API is extremely big, but you only need a small subset of it. If you need help with figuring out which classes are useful to you, it's best to start with a book. The only free online book I know is Thinking In Java, which you can find at http://www.mindview.net

I have a vintage mac computer that I am trying to download the asian language pack for simplified chinese; However the error message tells me I need an update installer?? Cannot find the right download for the 10.5.8 OS

I have a 10.5.8 os and need the simplified Chinese languag pack which I have not been able to download. It says I need an update installer which I cannot find as well/ or one that will work. Any suggestions?

Are you sure it is not already there? In system preferences/international/language, don't you see simplified Chinese on the list? It is supposed to be there. You just move it to the top and restart to put the OS into that language.
Missing language packs can also normally be installed by running the Language Translations installers found in the OptionalInstalls.mpkg of the Leopard DVD.
