Translating my car's "computer" to english.

isieo — Mon, 21 May 2007 19:00:58 +0800

Some n00b questions here:

I just got a recon(from japan) Nissan Murano and somehow, the car's "computer" is fully in japanese. I am trying to figure out how to translate it to english, are there any way to mod it to english?

also, does the navigation system used in the car use conventional GPS? or some japanese fork of GPS?

here are some pictures...

anyone free to translate them gah, if only there's a menu that allows me to change the language?

Carwings? Nani?

i am guessing the right one means tv input (still looking for the plug for tv in can't seem to find it). The Tv seems to be using some colour system other than PAL-BG can't view local channel properly

Which c++ GUI Toolkit are you using?

isieo — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 22:46:32 +0800

Personally, i tried FLTK, Wx and smartwin.

FLTK is just O.K; you can develop a fast and simple gui with it in no time. But, the widgets isn't standard and look weird on a windows machine...

Wx in the other hand, is powerful but it gets lengthy and you have to do some unnecessary type casting- you are sometimes forced to use non STL stuff...

SmartWin++ is something i tried recently, it mainly focuses on boost and STL which is good as it keeps the code "clean". i am still trying to get familiar with it.

MFC ... never used it before :/ M$ Visual Studio's IDE makes my head spin
---

One of my up comming projects will be involving some graphics manipulation and i need to choose a good gui toolkit for this up coming project. Therefore, i want to know what GUI toolkit do most people prefer.

Please post the gui tookit that you usually use to develop c++ applications and why.
thanks.

Balance Loading Over 2 Networks

You can balance your load over multiple networks. In my case, i am connected to 2 networks-Maxis and ScreamyX. Doing this, i got the fastest speed i ever seen .. 164kB/s

This is how you do it:

Step 1,

Open regedit.

Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters]

Add the valuename RandomAdapter if it does not exsist, make sure you add it as a REG_DWORD (DWORD Value).

Enter 1 as a value data to enable RandomAdapter or 0 to disable it.

Step 2,

Add the valuename SingleResponse if it does not exsist, make sure you add it as a REG_DWORD (DWORD Value).

Enter 1 as a value data to enable SingleResponse or 0 to disable it.

Step 3,

Reboot your computer.

Done!

Note! Make sure both RandomAdapter and SingleResponse have the data value 1 or the load balancing will not work.
