Go to the Start menu and type in  regedit  in the search box, then hit Enter At the top menu, go to Edit then Find... and search for " Display1_DownScalingSupported " Change each instance you find (you'll likely find 2 results for this) from "0" to "1".

For some reason I have never been able to get the LG Optimus E900h to stay unlocked. The registry editers we currently have in our possesion can not edit the needed keys nor can we use provxml because once again it for some reason will not work on our devices. Here is a 100% way to keep the LG Optimus 7 phone from relocking. Instead of using 3rd party apps we will use the native LG MFG application. Known Bugs:  ChevronWP7 will no longer detect your phone! Not sure why but it doesn't. This shouldn't be a problem considering your phone is unlocked. A factory restore will revert the changes. Also you may not debug with VS2010. Also unsure why. Notes: Enter everything without quotes, and please be careful. Don't hold me responsible if you screw up your phone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How to Un-Lock your Phone without Chevron 7 You can unlock the phone by using the MFG registry editor. Open the MFG app and use the password to ...

Supercomputer built from Raspberry Pi and Lego, managed by humans rather than Minifigs : If you're a computational engineer, there's no question about what you do with the Raspberry Pi : you make a supercomputer cluster. Researchers at the University of Southampton have followed their instincts and built Iridis-Pi, a tiny 64-node cluster based on the Raspberry Pi's usual Debian Wheezy distribution and linked through Ethernet. While no one would mistake any one Raspberry Pi for a powerhouse, the sheer number of networked devices gives the design both some computing grunt and 1TB worth of storage in SD cards. Going so small also leads to some truly uncommon rackmounting -- team lead Simon Cox and his son James grouped the entire array in two towers of Lego , which likely makes it the most adorable compute cluster you'll ever see. There's instructions to help build your own Iridis-Pi at the source link, and the best part is that it won't require a university-...

Now the fun begins: Back in the GUI, the first thing we want to do is set up our static networking. (Unless you like guessing what IP address this box will have every time you do a reboot). Open a terminal and launch this command: #ifconfig -a This should list all your networking interfaces. In my case, my box has a single ethernet port which correlates to the eth0 interface. Your setup should be similar. Now to set static IP address scheming, (fill in the xxx with whatever subnet and IP address you want the box to have) do the following: #pico /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.xxx.xxx Close out and save this file and then do the following: #pico /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.xxx.xxx nameserver 192.168.xxx.xxx nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220 Close out and save this file Change your password: Assuming we have a backtrack box that is going to be on cons...
