COTS Twinax connectors

While no longer looking for these, here are links to the most promising leads to BNC-sized COTS Twinax connectors:

These connectors from Blackbox, undoubably mfr'd by someone else, are compatible with an old IBM-style serial connector:

http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/Twinax-Termination-Cap/FD115-R2 Termination cap. Note absolutely no info on what the termination resistance is.

Amphenol makes a series as well which doesn't look too compatible with the above (but which is available through digikey):

Opening up the Juke

Mainly keys to getting the photos off of the thing with USB, although many people are interested in how to put ringtones on with USB:

There was a very manual process that I looked up once that I seem to have forgotten.

Long instructions on how to use something called BitPim are here: http://cellphoneforums.net/samsung/t261161-new-sch-u470-verizon-juke.html

A short post about how to reset the MTP setting to USB, similar to as described as one step in the above, is here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/592398

This cached page of a yahoo tech forum has, among the hilarious pleas, a hint that it might be possible to swap the MTP drivers on your PC: http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:QbDuwb5jsQwJ:tech.yahoo.com/sq%3Fprod%3DSamsung%2520Juke%26start%3D310+verizon+juke+MTP&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

How to pillage Glenair's next day stock

When ordering backshells from Glenair:

The rectangular backshell online catalog here has both D and MDM:

http://www.glenair.com/backshells/rectangular/index.html

each of which shows all of the models with pictures and links to the datasheets. Despite the simple model numbering format given on these top pages, some of these backshells have an actual part number xxx-yyy<+stuff>, while some have xxxTyyy<+stuff> where T is for top exit for wires. Plug the first part of the actual part number, not the simple model number, into the parts search here:

http://www.glenair.com/html/sameday.htm

which is also the 4th link down on the right of the company's home page, and get back exactly which part numbers (i.e. which options) are kept in stock. The home page also has a link to a page showing their distributors, the only recognizable ones of which are TTI (good web site) and Arrow (can only read their site with firefox).

Only a range of in stock part quantities is shown, and if you call glenair sales they still won't tell you exactly how many are in stock, but apparently no matter what there's only a 2-3 day lead time if it's on the list.

A website for encoding/decoding IEEE Floating Point

Wow, this is awesome:

Type in a decimal number, it will give you the hex of the SFP and DFP. Very helpful for finding big-endian little-endian problems.

Useful Windows Shortcut Key combinations

The following Windows Shortcut Key combinations are particularly useful for continuing to use a system that has begun to crash, or has had certain functions disabled by a virus, or just doesn't have the taskbar set up nicely:

Windows-D: Iconify all windows Pretty Darn Quick, in other words get the desktop
Alt-Tab: Shift between running (or dying) applications
Ctrl-Esc: Gets the start menu. For instance if the mouse is dead, you can get this and navigate using the keyboard and arrow keys.
Ctrl-Shift-Esc: Gets the task monitor even if it's not possible to get it by other means

Not enough quota available to process this command

Presently unresolved thread for tracking a recurring error on one of the work XPS's.

The error is is not accessible. Not enough quota is available to process this command.

Once this is received, the only thing that can be done is close all programs and reboot the machine.

It is somewhat interesting that this is an XPS that has more memory than the others.
The hardware and software configuration is otherwise identical to the others, and no dissimilar programs are being run (Labview, Word, PDF Reader).

The interwub doesn't have a consensus to the problem, but the disparate postings and answers may all point to a common solution if I could just figure it out.

Nobody has fingered this as a virus issue.

Perhaps most promising for my configuration, this guy blamed it on Dell Control Utility:
