Comment on Why you should use static read-only fields over constants when dealing with strings by Momo

Momo — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:41:41 +0000

Dude please remove or correct this post as it is the third result in google and although it has a point about the String.Empty your main argument is misleading. For a year or so I was fooled too and I don’t like the fact that i wrote a lot of static readonly strings thinking that I am actually being smart.

Brian,
My Vaio VGN-SZ 791n uses a GeForce 8400M GS.
That particular driver is found on many of the .inf files. Which one should I choose? I tried all of them and none of them worked. In each of the .inf files I did chose, there were multiple GeForce 8400GS which one do I chose then.. do I need to go through them all? Each time the error message state that there were not compatible with my version of Windows. I am running Window 7 Professional 64 (bit). The NVIDIA file I downloaded was 195.62

There is distinctly a lot to know about it. I think above we can find excellent propositions. What do you call a swimming pool full of blondes? Frosted Flakes.

Hey, have you found a way to make Launchy work on all desktops?

If not, maybe leave a comment on the feature request so the developers are at least aware of the issue:

Comment on Opening a New Tab in Firefox with the Logitech MX and VX Revolution Series Mouse by Aaron

Aaron — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:02:52 +0000

You are awesome!!!! THANK YOU!!! I have the Logitech 920-000526 keyboard/mouse package from Newegg.com. I don’t think it’s an MX or VX mouse, but I do have the same Setpoint software. It worked flawlessly! You really made my day!

Also, I was able to open a new tab with the center click, but I was forced to center click once on the hyperlink, THEN I have to click again. It’s not a double click. But you had to click it once, then one more time a second later. Was VERY annoying! Now I am able to just click once on any hyperlink I want and it works beautifully!

Your blog is the most encouraging news I’ve found, but I’m still not able to get my nVidia drivers installed, maybe you have some insight.

I am moving from an old desktop with a nVidia Quadro (I can’t tell from any of the markings on it but I believe it’s either an NVS 420 or 450). It’s been driving my four monitor set up.

So I got a new computer, with Windows 7/ 64 bit. Moved the card over, and am having the same symptoms you describe here.

However, I do not have a ListDevices.txt file. There is only one .inf file (NV_DISP.INF) in the stuff that got extracted so I tried that with your procedure.
When I attempt to update the driver it tells me that the driver does not support this version of windows.

Any insight (including how to get a hold of someone at nVidia) would be appreciated.

Comment on Eight Simple Tips To Improve Your Presentation Skills by anthony

anthony — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 19:00:57 +0000

Better to remain silent….
Abe Lincoln
Mark Twain…who knows.

Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.”

Perhaps those credited with the quote were merely misquoting an older version and not giving credit!

Aside from those small details, the tips for presentation are dead on. I do presentations all the time (10 week). In fact when I do my Interview Skills presentation I compare it to what I have been doing all week, smile, eye contact, prepared, anticipate questions…

Also when asked questions, I ponder for a moment, look down as I formulate my answer, look back at the person asking the question (I am addressing YOU the person) then present my interpretation. Don’t have to have all the answers at my fingertips, then it looks too rehearsed. I want to ‘talk’ with my audience, not talk to them.

Great tips and BTW common sense is becoming rare (endangered attribute).

Thank you for this tutorial! true life saver! i upgraded to windows 7 from vista on my vaio sz433 and resolution had been stuck at a max of 1024×768… this was the only good advice and working tutorial around on resolving the problem!

and @Frank; i just used the first Go 7400 file and that worked fine for me.

I tried to install GF7400 Go on my VAIO SZ220, but there were a bunch of 7400 in the ListDevice.txt. Anybody know which one should be valid?

It worked great, no loss of files. Only thing that delayed me a little, you must use the EXACT current volume label or it will not find it.
