Dual screen on VirtualBox

1. Power off your virtual machine if it's on.
2. From the main VirtualBox window, select your VM and choose “Settings”.
3. Choose “Display”.
4. Below “Video Memory” is “Monitor Count”. Slide it to 2, and adjust your video memory if VirtualBox complains.
5. Start your guest and perform the standard "Extend the desktop onto this display". This will be different per guest OS. (Guest Additions need to be installed.)
6. A second "Oracle VM VirtualBox" window will appear with the second display. You can resize it however you want.

You may need to enable the second monitor by going to [view] -> [monitor 2] -> [enable].

How do I set my Mailman list to never hold anything for moderator approval?

Implicit destination / Too many recipients

Mail which is bcc'ed to the list (or is sent to another list which has your list as a member), or has a large number of recipients, will be held. When Mailman holds a message like this for moderator approval, the reason is "Message has implicit destination" or "Too many recipients to the message". To turn these off:

1. Go to Privacy Options > Recipient Filters.
2. Change the setting for "Must posts have list named in destination (to, cc) field (or be among the acceptable alias names, specified below)?" to No
3. Change the setting for "Ceiling on acceptable number of recipients for a posting" to 0.

SolidWorks Features defined in the context of another assembly

Problem: "This part has features defined in the context of another assembly. <file name>. you can edit the part, but cannot create any external references to the components of the current assembly."

1) If you want to free the parts from old assy then go to individual parts & edit them to remove all the external reference( to another assy).

OR

2)  Just click the check mark so that u can have multiple context.
     Toos==>options==>system options==.External Reference

Check off 'Allow multiple contexts for parts when editing in assembly'.

Blocking Facebook using /etc/hosts

harrymc is close but for some reason OS X (as of 10.8.2) doesn't respect the IPv6 loopback address of ::1 (probably a bug), so you have to use fe80::1%lo0. The reason you need to block IPv6 is because Facebook will serve you their site over V6 if your ISP supports it. You can easily verify this by installing a browser plugin that displays an icon when a site is being served via IPv6. The reason this wasn't a problem for you before is because Facebook likely only recently started serving their site over IPv6.

So the correct answer is:

# Block Facebook IPv4
127.0.0.1   www.facebook.com
127.0.0.1   facebook.com
127.0.0.1   login.facebook.com
127.0.0.1   www.login.facebook.com
127.0.0.1   fbcdn.net
127.0.0.1   www.fbcdn.net
127.0.0.1   fbcdn.com
127.0.0.1   www.fbcdn.com
127.0.0.1   static.ak.fbcdn.net
127.0.0.1   static.ak.connect.facebook.com
127.0.0.1   connect.facebook.net
127.0.0.1   www.connect.facebook.net
127.0.0.1   apps.facebook.com

# Block Facebook IPv6

Recovering recent Microsoft Office files despite closing the default notification

If you were interrupted before you ever got the chance to save your PowerPoint file, you can simply look for it in the Microsoft Unsaved Files folder. Go to the File tab, make sure you're on Recent and click on Recover Unsaved Presentations. The icon is right below the list of folders under Recent Places.

Trimming Video with VLC on Mac

source: http://www.useyourmac.com/howto/vlc-trim-video.html

Preferences

With your video stopped, go to the Preferences of the application that is under the VLC Menu.



Choose the Input/Codecs Tab. There, Under 'Record Directory' you have to declare where on your disc the files will be saved. Hit 'Browse...' and go to the place you choose. You can even create a new directory (folder) right within the dialog box.

Once you have your Preference fixed, hit 'Save' and close the Preferences window. It stays there forever, exept if you decide to change it. So, you won't have to do this every next time.


Restart playing your video, till you'll reach the beginning of the the part you want to keep. If this is far from the spot the cursor is at this moment, you can slide the PlayHead into the right position. You can slide it back and forth, to the exact point.



Stop the playback (spacebar).
Get Ready to Record

Next, you have to explain to VLC that you want it to record a portion of your video. Roll down the Playback Menu. In there, click to select 'Record'. With this checked, all the playback will be re-recorded on disk.


Restart playing the video and let it run to the end of the section, then stop it.
The new video is saved onto your disk.

There is no quality loss since VLC will copy exactly what it reads from the video file. It will save it in the same file format as the original.

You will find your new video in the folder you have previously chosen. VLC names it after the original and stamps it with the time being created. Your original stays behind untouched.
