Tools: Latex: Texnic Center and Okular forward search

Put the following command in your Tex->DVI Viewer config under command for opening and forward search:

'%bm.dvi#src:%l %Dc/%nc' --unique

%bm.dvi is your output filename of the Project.
#src:%l gives the linenumber of the current curson
%Dc gives the complete path to the current source file with slashes
%nc gives the full name of the current source file.
--unique ensures only one Okular instance is opened.

Please be sure to use single quotes as double quotes produced no search in my case.

So far I noticed that it does not work if you have lines with latex commands only, e.g. \begin{itemize} or latex TOC elements, e.g. \section{Introduction}.
Just go to the nearest written text section.

CUDA: Accessing pinned/pagelocked memory from different threads

Some time ago I asked the question here:
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=201193

on how to access pinned or pagelocked memory from two threads in the same program.

The key is to allocate with the portable attribute.
Look at:
Nvidia Doxygen 4.0 cudaHostAlloc

for details.

Even more elegant is however, to register the memory only if you need it:
See details about  cudaHostRegister cudaHostRegister cudaHostUnregister at:
Nvidia Doxygen 4.0 cudaHostRegister

Tools: Office 2010 Print to File

It took me some time to actually find this well known Option. If you are in Excel or any other Office program you see this option well down  below the combo-box where you chose the Printer.

However, in Outlook 2010 it is on the initial Print Page.
