How do I find a dual DVI-D (dual link) graphics card for 2560x1440 resolution?

With high-end LCD and LED monitors becoming affordable, I've opted to upgrade my current 21" monitors with a larger 27" capable of displaying 2560 x 1440 resolution. I have a Dell Optiplex 3010 computer which has 1 x VGA and 1 x HDMI (they are only capable of displaying 1920 x 1050 resolution). I've opted to shop for a new graphics card, but it wasn't easy to choose one as descriptions of the products shown on major websites weren't clear enough to ensure compatibility.

How do you move Windows from a small drive to a larger one?

With SSD Hard Drives getting cheaper and cheaper, you can significantly improve the performance of your computer by replacing a regular Hard Drive with an SSD Drive. There are a number of free software that will allow you to clone a Hard Drive to another including Macrium Reflect Free, Shadow Copy, and Ease Us Todo Backup Free. Just download and install any of the tools suggested, and clone the hard drive from one to another. If you're on a desktop machine, you can simply connect the second drive to another SATA connector and clone the active ("running HDD") one to a new one. If you're on a laptop, you'll either have to pop out the HDD and connect to a Desktop PC to clone the drive or buy a SATA to USB adapter.

Add Opportunity Contact Roles on Opportunity Update

We're sending an email campaign through Pardot excluding customers who placed an order with us or prospects whom we provided Customer Quotation (SCM Module by Financial Force) within the past 30 days. To exclude this list, we must sync Salesforce Opportunity to Pardot Opportunity. Pardot opportunity is tied to a prospect where Salesforce Opportunity is not directly tied to contacts but through Accounts and OpportunityContactRoles. In order to sync Salesforce Opportunity with Pardot Opportunity, OpportunityContactRoles must be created in Salesforce Opportunity. When a Salesforce lead is converted (creating an account, contact, and opportunity), OpportunityContactRoles are automatically created. Similarly, when a new Salesforce Opportunity is created OpportunityContactRoles are automatically created (via traversing Opportunity -> Account -> Contact). However, when a new contact is added to an Account within Salesforce; the new OpportunityContactRole is not automatically created. To exclude those newly added contacts to be excluded, we must run the one-time script via Developer Console to add OpportunityContactRole.

Salesforce: Retrieve related list with SOQL and Apex

You are working with a Salesforce custom object, and you need to iterate through the related list. How do you retrieve the listed list with SOQL, and iterate through them with Apex?

The SCMC__Sales_Order__c has a child relationship, SCMC__Purchase_Orders__r, as shown in the (Force.com IDE) screenshot below.

Syntax Highlighter Usage (SYNTAXHIGHLIGHTER-OPTIONS)

I have been searching for a Syntax Highlighter plug-in for WordPress and Drupal and decided to install the one available from Alex Gorbatchev. The module makes use of the Syntax Highlighter Javascript Library, and does the job I wanted. In order for the Syntax Highlighter plug-in to work, you'll have to install both the Javascript library and the module developed for Drupal or WordPress. Once the module is installed, the syntax for using it is pretty much the same.
