Comment on Google Chrome and IE – is it war? by movie fan

it’s funny, the more i use Chrome (for windows), the more unstable it seems to get… crashes a lot more, can’t handle sites with flash, hangs every time i close a tab… all that to say, i’m switching back to Firefox

Comment on Vista & HP1740 LCD Panel Driver – WARNING!!!! by Klaus Lehnert

Hi,
I’m interested in your driver for the GL T2/T2e. I’d like to use my nw8000 laptop with an external 1680×1050 Dell monitor, but neither the installed nor the drivers available at the HP site support this resolution. Yet the installed driver works at both lower and higher resolutions. I don’t need to use Vista (happy with XP), so your driver might work. Would it be possible to obtain that driver from you, or a pointer to a download site?
Many thanks in davance
Klaus

Firstly SmartPeak WLM is supported on many more Windows variants from Windows 2000 through to Windows Server 2008, including both desktop and (all) server variants.
SmartPeak WLM offers far more configurability than WSRM allowing you to configure resource allocation to either users or applications on an individual basis offering far more granularity in the management of your computing resource. In addition there are a number of event based rules in the product allowing you to change the resource allocation dependent upon whether the application is in the foreground/background/minimized or the desktop itself is locked or unlocked, enabling resource to directed to relevant tasks dependent upon the system state. And lots, lots, more.
Finally it offers the ability to manage a set of servers from a single point using a deployment tool to push out configurations without having to visit each server individually.

Thanks for that, I’ve just had almost exactly the same problem with the Mobility FireGL T2 driver on a Thinkpad T42P. I rolled back the driver to the previous version and all seems to be OK.

Clearly there’s a problem with the FireGL driver, Vista and multiple monitors.

Hi Simon

Just a quick note to say thanks for leaving some tips in a comment on my blog regarding my challenges with Vista. Much appreciated!

Looks like you are interested in virtualisation. Don’t know if it is of any help or interest, but I wrote a non-techie-oriented post on it a few months back – http://www.joiningdots.net/blog/2006/06/virtualisation.html

Thanks again

Sharon

Comment on The iPhone is not a Phone! by ggwfung

the interface is everything.

I’ve used a smartphone with touchscreen (Moto A1000) and it take’s a long time to figure out. People really just want buttons to push, not this smart “dual scroll” that the iphone has.

it will end up being neither an ipod or a phone.
