[update] If your monitor version is older to March 2007 then forget this solution. Ask Benq to replace your monitor I found out that many people are experiencing this blackout problem when using the BenQ FP241W and the DVI connection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Y8CMC5_qI The complexity of the problem arises because of the unpredictable behaviour of the many elements that are involved in the situation: graphics card, drivers, cables, monitor firmware, driver settings etc. Here I will try to outline a “method” that worked for me,.. relatively ok. 1. First of all, change the DVI cable. The original cable that comes with the BenQ monitor, is crap. In my case it produces, apart from the constant flickering, digital noise with visible dots(artifacts) in all black areas. This is basically a good sign that gives you some feedback regarding the quality of your cable. What I’ve done was to swap the BenQ DVI [...]
Many people get this annoying message when they try to download Nokia maps on their memory card: "Connection to the storage medium has been interrupted. Attach your storage medium and retry." Here is a workaround I discovered. To start with, connect your mobile and select the Mass Storage option, or remove your memory card and attach it to your computer. You basically have to mount the card as a drive. 1. Open a Windows File manager and go to the following directory: $System_rootDocuments and Settings$usernameLocal SettingsTemp On my winXP was: C:Documents and SettingsmodestosLocal SettingsTemp 2. Run Nokia Map Loader 3. Select the maps that you want and start downloading. 4. go back to the file manager and locate a folder named "download_temp". It only appears when downloading and if the installation fails then Nokia Map Loader deletes it. 5. So, before downloading finishes make the "download_temp" folder read-only. 6.Once Maploader [...]
I have recently discovered this forum: Mgmaps where the provide information for those interested to download and store maps for use in their GPS application. These include maps from GoogleMaps and Googlearth (satellite images). They also provide tools (e.g. gMapMaker) for downloading and merging map tiles as well as calibrating and building poster-like images and OziExplorer .map files.

Derrida (directed by Kirby Dick and Jil Kofman, 2002) Here is the movie's homepage [>>] "An odd portrait of Jacques Derrida, one of the most polemical and influential theorists of the end of the 20th century. The filmmakers 'deconstruct' the French thinker's private and professional life, in an attempt to capture the processes of an inquisitive and iconoclastic mind which has greatly influenced our way of understanding the limits of language." Festival review I consider this documentary slightly limited. In my oponion it is so very structured and set that fails to capture the Derridian "spirit". It is worth viewing though, as it is one of the very few "captures" of Derrida on video. (he systematically refused to be on tv and video) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7347615341871798222&q New York Remembers Derrida (2005?)
