This error is caused when you try to maximize the window to fullscreen, but the dimensions of the windowed mode you're running in don't correspond to an available fullscreen resolution on your system. It's fairly common when migrating from one machine to another. You'll need to use the command

It is reasonable that you each would be different results. I bet you have using different graphic hardware, your GPUs are different and the drivers are different.The error is not coming from LH but from system level software. On Sun, Aug 3, 2014 at 10:23 AM, mike cook michael.c...@sfr.fr

[time-nuts] How are iPhones' clocks set under LTE?

Hi all, First “time”r here. This may not rank up there with your degree of time-nuttery, but I haven’t been able to get an answer elsewhere. Recently I was discussing the issue of how the different cellular providers set their time, and I told him that I’d read that CDMA phones and towers

Here's the article and the quote. Very appropriate for time-nuts: http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/for-public-clocks-a-time-warp/2011/10/25/gIQAXOZ5jM_story.html If the clocks are right — on churches and in classrooms, on stores and in bars — they tell us that things are in order,

IOS is getting the time using the IP network which is above the CDMA or WiFi level. It polls an NTP server just frequently enough to keep the system clock to within a few seconds of correct time. I could run the full NTP but doesn't because that would drain the battery to fast. Background tasks

Unlike CDMA (where time distribution was an automatic part of the low-level protocol) I suspect the time displayed on many modern phones is not set by the telephony synchronous protocol but rather by IP-over-Wifi packets. And the packets don't seem to do a very effective job keeping the clock ont

I just finished laying out a small circuit board for building an extender cable for the Tek TM500 series mainfames / modules. Prototypes are off being fab'd at OSHPARK. Should be here in a couple of weeks. It uses two 39/40 pin ribbon cables (all the power pins use two wires)... e.g.

I think a cable made from ribbon cable edge connectors would be the easiest/cheapest way to extend the GPIB connector. Have you thought about making extensions for the smaller connector used to distribute GPIB in the 5000 series?
