For Win 7, use "Run as Administrator" to run the setup. Worked like a charm, especially when the Cleanup Tool didn't.

LED Monitor Review: LG FLATRON E2041

My Old AOC CRT Monitor began to show signs of dying. It would occasionally black out for a few seconds. Sometimes lightning streaks  would run across the screen. I bought that monitor way back in 2006. It served me well for 5 years. It was very durable and AOC is a good brand. And so I had no choice but to buy myself a new monitor. I would have preferred another CRT Monitor but they were no longer available. Even the more recent LCD screens are being phased out in favor a the newer LED monitors. LG FLATRON E2041 (This was not my first choice but it was the next best thing available in the computer store I visited). 1600 X 900 Resolution (16:9 Aspect Ratio) Contrast Ratio: 5,000,000:1 Brightness: 250 Cd/m2 Dimensions W/Stand (WHD): 17.44" X 13.78" X 6.54" My Feedback This monitor comes with two connectors VGA and DVI.

GIMP: How to Enable Wacom Pen Tablet

If you are doing digital graphics in Gimp, whether painting or simply drawing, it is best to use a pen tablet. Wacom is a recognized brand when it comes to pen tablets. Gimp does support it but it is not enabled by default. How to Enable Pen Tablet Support 1. Launch Gimp using your pen tablet. Don't use the mouse to launch Gimp. If you do, Gimp won't detect it. 2. In the menu click Edit>Preference. 3. On the list click "Input Devices". 4. Click "Configure Extended Input Decives". Here is where Gimp gets weird. If you started Gimp for the first time using a mouse, it will say there are no available input device. But if you launched it using the pen tablet, you will see "Wacom Tablet Pressure Stylus" and "Wacom Tablet Eraser" . 5. Click the Close Button 6. Click "Save Input Device Settings Now" so that the pen tablet will still be supported when you launch Gimp next time.

The End of Print of Media

We used to buy newspaper everyday. It was a good source of news, infact, it was the only source of written news back in the days. When I was in highschool, we bought newspapers so that I could improve my English vocabulary. And then later on after that, when I entered the professional world, we bought it for the classified ads so that I could find jobs. But today, printed news is dying. There isn’t a week when you don’t hear newspaper companies closing or doing measure to cut cost. What changed? More and more people are turning to the internet for their news. In the internet, you can not only read about events but you can also see or listen to them in a form of video or audio. More over, printed news is slow news. When it reaches you, the articles it contains are already several hours old. While with the internet, you can read about an incident instantaneously or just a few minutes after it happened. Lastly, with regards to classified ads, we now have Ebay, Craigslist, and s...
