pci system error on bus/device/funtion 000h
1.to reset the bios 2.remove the battery 3.add the battery again.
It is likely there is a hardware issue or shortcircuit on the motherboard.
I relieved this error on a net book both on Windows XP, and with Lubuntu USB disks. Unofrtunately, the netbook died after a few months.

I use a dual monitor setup with my laptop, but the annoyance is when I switch to using only the laptop screen and certain windows are stuck out of the screen. I read various posts about this and most deal with right clicking the taskbar and trying out “move” or “cascade”.
I noticed the “Move” method is not available on windows 7 when you are using the classic theme, and various other methods failed so I’m posting my “IF all else fails” alternative.
Download the WinLister application from here
Run WinLister as Administrator and select the window you wish to

Today I wanted to open asap 4 RTSP streams using VLC.
I ended up copying and pasting the following in the command prompt caused 4 background instances of VLC to appear and read from 4 different AXIS cameras.
"C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLCvlc.exe" -vvv "rtsp://username:password@IP_ADDRESS:PORT/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=768x576&compression=30&fps=10&textstring=cam1&text=1&textpos=1"&
"C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLCvlc.exe" -vvv "rtsp://username:password@IP_ADDRESS:PORT/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=768x576&compression=30&fps=10&textstring=cam2&text=2&textpos=1"&
"C:Program Files (x86)VideoLANVLCvlc.exe" -vvv "rtsp://username:password@IP_ADDRESS:PORT/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=768x576&compression=30&fps=10&textstring=cam3&text=3&textpos=1"&

echo done
Enjoy!

What must someone consider for calculating required bandwidth for IP cameras?
It is not only resolution, but also FPS, the amount of activity (motion), and the compression level which determine the bandwidth required.
Also, instead of viewing using RTSP over HTTP it is optimal to view through VLC and RTSP using the axis rtsp api.
The API is available at: ( http://www.axis.com/files/manuals/RTSP_API_2_01.pdf – page PDF 14 – parameter specification ) and specifies options to build URLs such as:
rtsp://IP:PORT/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=768×576&compression=10

Having written a lot of PHP code for a project using Notepad++, I got tired with the limitations of not having an IDE containing a debugger, and refactoring tools.
Quick post mostly for myself to have a reference on how to setup XDEBUG (which was quite easy using XAMPP).
If you don’t want to go the long road download the full version of XAMPP here 🙂
1) First off as the DLL is already located it does not need to be downloaded.
2) Open php.ini and make the following edits:
A) Uncomment the line zend_extension = “Somethingphp_xdebug.dll”
B) Uncomment the variables and set them as specified by netbeans …

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 3,800 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 6 years to get that many views.

Hey all, quick non-programming post here about how to quickly translate a PDF doc with formatting from google translate (and keep most of the formatting).
Specifically, I wanted to translate a manual for a professional oven to Greek. My example though will use a preliminary version of my MSc thesis:
Google translate supports uploading documents via the translate a document link, but the result is not always very good with formatting.

We’ve been using lightcouch over at AIT, and over time have come up with some specific requirements and general insights about lightcouch. I’ve decided to make a list (and add to it over time), as well as implement a type of utility class which builds upon the original lightcouch functionality for the features we would like.
On to the list…
I’ve asked the original author on the lightcouch google group (hope the links works) about this, and the answer was for architectural and error checking reasons, specifically:

Just checked the commutative statistics on statscounter.
I suggest for everyone to use some kind of analytics/tracking (google, statscounter).
Call me a happy camper…it’s nice to know the blog has an increasing amount of visitors.
I’d say a direct relationship with the number of posts, though Week29 is quite an outlier.
Also, having the post about PHPSecLib on the featured page for #php of wordpress is quite coo, even if it may have been automated (not too sure about that).
