    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they next big silent trend (the one you won't hear, but you'll suddenly see everywhere will be the back to the metaverse (maybe not exactly the facebook version, but augmented/alternative reality, wearable tech is probably about mature enough to...

    I've never heard of the program. sounds like the program is try to put data onto a page, but the page is too small, I guess that you should either select a larger page size in a properties (or print properties) somewhere, or query less data into your report.

    Micro controller peripheral intermittent error?

    How are you communicating with the compas chip? (Sip?) And what errors are you getting? Do you have any tools like a logic analyser or "bus pirate" that you can use to see if the error is in the output of the compass chip or in the receiving by the pic? (Can you confirm that the pic is getting...

    Small Business network setup

    IT sounds like you're just sharing a lan over the whole building. (You should definitely make sure machines have firewalls etc enabled!!) As you just plug it in and it works it sounds like you have two choices... Either get a wireless access point. (Not a router) and just setup the ssid and...

    disk mgt make partition
