To Laugh at those who love of Psychology too much

你們要謹慎那些特別愛心理學的人,因為他們心理有病所以才愛心理學 -Rev. Stephen Tong on Book of John Commentary Video 90.

Either positive or negative response would prove the point of the statement.

All babies speak 5 words...?

According to Priscilla Dunstan, someone who claims to have photographic-like memory, babies have very distinct sound especially before crying.

1. Neh - Hungry

2. Heh - Discomfort

3. Owh - Sleepy

4. Eair - Lower Gas

5. Eh - Burb

 

And the reason I included category of Theology is because it reminds me of Genesis 11:1.

Windows DVD Maker issue: Half of Menu Screen below is green

This is due to the xvid decoder. Go to Xvid folder in Start Menu and configure Decoder. In Output options, choose "Compatibility Renderer", OK. Burn again with DVD Maker, no more green bar.

Thanks to the forum which linked to bernzilla.

Logon Failure for file sharing between XP and Vista

At Nadia's networking: XP - (no password account) cannot connect to Vista (password account) for file sharing, error: "Logon Failure: Account Currently Disabled"

Found solution:

The solution does seem to be in the 'control userpasswords2' command but for me it
was in using it on the XP machine I added my Vista PC using the Advanced tab, Manage
Passwords, Add and then for server type PCNAME\USERNAME and then you password for
the Vista computer.

After the setting, a pop-up screen for user/password will now show when accessing network folder. One needs only put username (without domain) and password to login. Checking Remember password box might help for future convenience.

My AMD Vista Machine: Logs

Due to issues from time to time, I have created this entry to satisfy the solution.

12/16/2011

Around 2 weeks ago - Western Digital 500GB HDD died - (still able to revive from time to time in freezer).

Replaced with Seagate 500GB HDD.

Suspected Video Card driver from NVIDIA had something to do with it, so after reinstalling the Vista Ultimate 32 bit, I installed the graphic driver(quite old) directly from the motherboard site(MCP6P M2+).

Everything ran well.

However, when I get to using 3D acceletration features, such as Stellarium 0.11.1 or most other star atlas programs, it's incredibly slow. I figure that old driver from the motherboard site lacks the juice and I had to update the driver from the NVIDIA site, which is a bundled file download that supports more than one models.

Installation went smoothly. And video acceleration for 3D feature softwares works. Except for one called Microsoft Worldwide Telescope (same as before the driver update).

I took a look at the Nvidia control panel. Seems fine. But everytime I close the control panel window, there's a error pop-up: NVIDIA Control Panel Application, 3.0.731.0 has stopped working, Application Name nvcplui.exe was the problem application listed. Should I worry about this? Was this related to what caused my HDD crash in its 'previous' life? I don't know. But since everything still works well, I will be satisfied for now.

But just in case, I have looked up this issue: (it's tempting to do the DEP configuration because after I closed the error pop-up, the tray informed me that the crash was prevented by 'Data Execution Prevention' and I could click into it to read or change some settings - I was tempted to allow exception to NVIDIA program and see if this error would pop up again). But I don't want to change anything on the DEP settings right now because everything seems to work just fine, I don't see the HDD red light flashing like crazy or as solid loading light after the driver update (if the HDD light had kept on solid or flashing busily, I would worry because it would look like the late WD HDD's issue). However, if I am forced to deal with this, I could try installing a beta version by complete uninstall->CCleaner->Driver Sweeper->reboot to detect new driver->install beta with CLEAN install checked under customized or the not so successful roll back driver version.

So I uninstalled Worldwide Telescope. It looks like Google Sky could do just about the same thing. Or the Webclient of Microsoft Worldwide Telescope at their site works just fine as well.

The fear of Rebprobation

I should find opportunity to share with Nadia, Article 16 "Responses to the Teaching of Reprobation" of the First Point of Dordrecht Canons.

Problem with RCA Today

Or among the general western visible reformed church members.

Because the doctrine of predestination is greatly welcomed by the loyalists, aristocratics and the traditionalists, I have to say, that this sort of welcome is mostly unhealthy, noting to Article 13 of First point in the Canons of Dort:

The fruit of this (election) Assurance

In their awareness and assurance of this election God's children daily find greater cause to humble themselves before God, to adore the fathomless depth of his mercies, to cleanse themselves, and to give fervent love in return to him who first so greatly loved them. This is far from saying that this teaching concerning election, and reflection upon it, make God's children lax in observing his commandments or carnally self-assured. By God's just judgment this does usually happen to those who casually take for granted the grace of election or engage in idle and brazen talk about it but are unwilling to walk in the ways of the chosen.
