This will restore the keyboard to new, or better, performance. Laptop keyboards don’t wear out, they foul out. Proper cleaning and lubrication as described here will restore your laptop keyboard to the snappy and smooth performance it had when new. There are several reasons why the keys will start to stick, spilled drinks, normal wearing off of the factory lubrication, weakening of the rubber pieces which give each key…

Microsoft will drop support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. While there are sources that state the Microsoft downloads will still be online afterwards for people to update their machines, there are no guarantees of this.

In the future, if you need a copy of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) and the file is no longer available online at its current location (http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/3/0/d30e32d8-418a-469d-b600-f32ce3edf42d/WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe) you can always download…

We have many requests in the Network Forum on how to properly add a second (or third) router to an existing LAN that already has a SOHO router connected to the internet.  I’m going to write out a brief guide so the next time it comes up, I can just post a link to this instead of typing it all out again! The general setup of SOHO Router’s is similar.  While some use a different subnet, every one I’ve worked with uses a Class C Private IP Addressing Scheme.  I’m going to use the basic Class C private for this…

Any programmer when thinks about PL/SQL expects certain functionality by default to be provided by the programming language for rapid coding. This helps to concentrate more on the business part rather than the technical complexities.With that in mind I would like to share a simple topic of converting a string in to array in PL/SQL, which is simple but a yet a powerful tool to ease most of out programming burdens.

Cmd/Bat scripting by default creates ANSI encoded text files unless cmd.exe was started with the “/U” switch, in which case in will create Unicode formatted text files(Without a byte-order-mark). It is only the output file that differs, the procedure to create the file…
