How to open eps file by using Opensource software
I got an .eps file. I know I tried to use GIMP for this purpose. But it doesn't work. Finally, I found an opensoure software, scribus. It can open .eps file and save it into svg. Finally, I can use Inkspace to edit it.
I found scribus is a kind of Opensource alternative for InDesign. That is quite useful.
Static Cell Table with sub view
I created an app which is using static table in iOS. Moreover, I tried to plug in a sub view for autocomplete should be underneath a text box.
[self.view addSubview:autocompleteTableView];
But I found it will break the layout. The subview will be overlapping other cells in the table.
Please be careful to use subview in static table.

If you saw a blue screen during Windows 8 Installation with the message,"Kernel Security Check Failure"(KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE ). I believe that is a memory problem. That is possible your ram died! Please get a blank USB drive and download memtest86. And then run the installation and put memtest on that USB drive. Finally, Plug-in that USB drive on the computer which you saw the blue screen. It will run some testes to see whether any problems on your RAM.

A lot of PCs and Laptops came with Windows 8.1 (Standard Edition). If you are a home user, that is not a big problem. But you are a Business User, even your office is only small office, you still need to consider that very careful. Windows 8.1 cannot join an active domain. If your office is using a Windows Server including Small Business Server, please use Windows 8.1 Professional. Moreover, Windows 8.1 cannot accept any Remote Desktop Connections.

Be careful dell display card
This week, I got some dell pcs. I found their DVI display port is different from a standard DVI port. I cannot find any cables from Officeworks, Jaycar and dick smith. I only can get them from Dell. The cable is a splitter cable , which has two DVI outputs.
If you are using dell, please don't lose your cable!
