Migrating a Windows XP VMware Virtual Machine to a VirtualBox one
When migrating a Windows XP VMware VM to a VirtualBox one you should enable IO APIC option.
Windows may not be able to start the network device because the driver loaded for the PCnet-FAST III device is VMware Accelerated AMD PCnet Adapter.
To get the device working simply replace the device driver with the AMD one: AMD PCNET Family PCI Ethernet Adapter
Don't forget about installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions.
Registry Fix for ToCA Race Driver 3 on Win7 64bit
The following registry settings fixed the english version of ToCA Race
Driver 3 for me on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. I simply pulled these
key values from the installer script.
Create a text file and paste the text at the end of this post into it. Save the file with a ".reg" extension and import it into your registry as the system administrator. These parameters assume that the game is installed in the default steam directories.
From what I can see valid "LANGUAGE" values are "eng","fre","ger","ita", or "spa".
Copy all of the text below this line.....
(all you need to do is change it so that it reflects the install directory of your Steam install):

3D printers: 10 machines for home manufacturing
3D printers: 10 machines for home manufacturing
http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/3d-printers-10-machines-for-home-manufacturing/6379767?tag=nl.e098
The age of being able to print off anything - from washing machine parts to shoes - in your home is approaching.
For years 3D printers, which build solid objects layer by layer using computer models, came with a price tag that made them unaffordable to anyone outside big business.
However in recent years homebrew 3D printer projects such as RepRap in the UK and Fab@Home have demonstrated it's possible to build a 3D printer for about $1,000.
Today, there are a slew of 3D printers aimed at the home market, many of which are based on the open-source RepRap printers. TechRepublic has rounded up 10 machines for fabricating items at home.
3D printing noobs should be aware that not only do many of these machines ship as kits that have to be built by the user, most are more complicated to operate than your standard 2D printer.
Running costs are also not cheap. Most of the printers build objects using filament, typically made of ABS or PLA plastics. A one-kilogram coil of these plastics costs in the region of $70.
If you do pick up a 3D printer and are lacking inspiration, check out the Thingiverse, a collection of free designs for printable objects.
Cube 3D
The Cube 3D, shown above, is a printer designed to make building plastic objects as easy as running off a copy of a document.
The $1,299 device can print items as large as 5.5 inches cubed. It prints in one colour at a time, squeezing molten plastic from its nozzle, and can produce 10 different shades.
The Cube is designed to be easy to use, with cartridges that clip into place and software that turns 3D computer models into a form the printer can understand. The software handles models in the STL format, which is output by most CAD packages.
Designs for objects that can be printed using the Cube are available through its dedicated online store.
Users can tweak ready-made designs for printable objects, such as toys and jewellery, using a selection of apps.
Print time is proportional to the size and complexity of the object being built, but the manufacturer says an iPhone case will take about two to three hours to print.
Each cartridge will print 13 to 15 phone case-sized objects before it needs replacing.

Resolving “MySQL Workbench has stopped working” Error Message – Workbench v5.2 Windows Event ID 1026 and 1000
Resolving “MySQL Workbench has stopped working” Error Message – Workbench v5.2 Windows Event ID 1026 and 1000
MySQL Workbench worked fine for a while, but as soon as I start the program now, I get a message box saying “MySQL Workbench has stopped working”.
Here's the solution
1. Uninstall (aka “Remove”) MySQL Workbench 5.2
2. In C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MySQL, rename “Workbench” to “Workbench_old”
3. Reinstall MySQL Workbench
4. Check out the folders in “C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MySQL”, and notice the “Workbench” folder is recreated
5. Launch MySQL Workbench and all is good!

5. Launch MySQL Workbench and all is good!
Extra Note
Note: For good measure, I renamed back the folders in “C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MySQL” to test if that was the
issue, and sure enough, as soon as I put the “old” folder back into
place I had the same issue launching MySQL Workbench.
