Flowing Fix: View RAW images natively in Windows

Mac users have the ability to view RAW images natively in OS X.  However, Windows users can have the same ability by installing the  Microsoft Camera Codec Pack (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26829)

For more details on viewing and editing RAW images natively in Windows see this article:

CUDA over Remote Desktop

On Windows, it is not possible to use CUDA over Remote Desktop on the primary video card.  If you have more than one graphics card that is CUDA capable, you can execute the following command to set the driver mode of the secondary card as TCC (Tesla Compute Cluster) mode.  For example, open a command prompt as an administrator, then:

cd C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI
nvidia-smi -i 1 -dm 0

Where -i 1 should be the index of the card (0 is primary).  -dm 0 sets the mode to be TCC.
