Though my [Wayback/Archive.is] Dell Dimension 9200/DXP061 machines already had 4 gigabyte of memory, I just learned they can go to 8 gigabyte of memory.
Multiple source confirm that it is possible to put 8 GB of memory in a Dell Dimension 9200/DXP061 (aka “Dell XPS 410”):

If you consider buying from the new Nikon online parts shop, then please note that:
- It has a very limited selection both in cameras (for instance, D700 is listed, but D300 is not), and parts (for instance both the D700 and D800 only list 5 parts each, most of which are parts for the outside of the body, similar for lenses like the 70-200 F 2.8 VR)
- Some listed parts are not in stock and/or don’t have pictures
I really hope this changes for the better, as of a year ago, independent camera shops cannot order Nikon parts any more.
Thanks Nikon Rumours for pointing out this store exists at all.

I see a lot of people throwing Tyvek envelopes and sheets in the recycled paper bins.
Don’t do that!
Since Tyvek is a plastic, you should recycle it as such: Read the rest of this entry »

Is there anyone that has experience with the Your Online Choices | IAB site?
They seem to be able to turn off cookie tracking for selected advertisers.
I’m anxious to hear if this scam or not.

On monday, I wrote it was Time to disable Java for a while: Zero-Day Season is Not Over Yet.
Today Oracle released a fix, which you should either install immediately (that is NOW, don’t hesitate!).
For this vulnerability, it is enough to disable Java from your browser – see: How to disable Java in your web browser – but as with any software: if you don’t need it, just disable/uninstall it.
Disabling/uninstalling on a Mac may impose a problem, as Apple hasn’t come with an update for the OS X editions that came with Java pre-installed.
Most other users can either install the version on their current system on-line from Download Free Java Software, or download offline installers for other systems at Java Downloads for All Operating Systems.
I might actually try the Java Unattended Silent Installer and Updater from Ninite – Install or Update Multiple Apps at Once.

When you have a WordPress.com account, articles can have multiple links, one of which is a shortlink in the WP.me domain.
For instance, this article has these links:
When it gets published, and you publicize through Twitter, the WP.me shortcut gets appended to your Tweet.
Since WP.me shortlinks are 22 characters long, you loose 23 characters (an extra space is needed for separation) of Tweet size.
Which means your blog title should be nog longer than 117 characters (i.e. shorter than 118 characters). Read the rest of this entry »
