  • Hilarious web addresses revealed in new book

    <b>Telegraph:</b> "The compendium of ill thought out web addresses, largely from companies who naively slurred their innocent-sounding names into a single word without noticing the resulting double entendres, lists more than 150 "slurls", or slur URLs."

  • Icons and the FOSS desktop

    <b>Linux Pro Magazine:</b> "Icons have always intimidated me. Except for the mouseover help, two-thirds of the time I would have no idea what function they represent. Shrink them so that they fit on a toolbar, and the obscurity is compounded by illegibility."

  • Who Really Contributed the High-End Tech to Project Monterey?

    <b>Groklaw:</b> "Here's something interesting, a Santa Cruz 8K from October 26, 1998, which consists mostly of two press releases announcing the IBM-SCO joint partnership to do Project Monterey. Guess who would be providing the bulk of the high-end enterprise capabilities and contributing them to UnixWare? Hint: Not SCO"

  • Is it possible to have an external server with in a companies firewall?

    - by Jonathan
    Hi guys, I am sure this is server admin 101,but I am unsure of the answer and would love some help. I am a software developer I have built an application for a client and am currently hosting it successfully on SliceHost. We are now coming out of Beta and the client wants to have the application within their Firewall, but they do not want to deal with headache of hosting and maintaining the server. Is there a way I can recommend that we put our server at SliceHost within their Firewall? Is that an easy thing to do? If that is not possible, what should I recommend to my client? Thanks! Jonathan

  • How to use aliases for remote hosts when accessing locally

    - by alexloh
    I would like to use an alias for a remote host. For example, when instead of "ping giraffe.foo.bar.com" I want to do "ping giraffe", but only when I do it from my own machine. I am able to do this for raw IP addresses by adding an entry in /etc/hosts (ie "123.456.1.0 giraffe"), but it does not seem to work for host names.

  • Minimize writes to SSD disks with Windows 7

  • Change directory upwards to specified goal

    - by haakon
    I'm often deep inside a directory tree, moving upwards and downwards to perform various tasks. Is there anything more efficient than going 'cd ../../../..'? I was thinking something along the lines of this: If I'm in /foo/bar/baz/qux/quux/corge/grault and want to go to /foo/bar/baz, I want to do something like 'cdto baz'. I can write some bash script for this, but I'd first like to know if it already exists in some form.

  • SQL decimal conversion error

    - by jakesankey
    Hey, my app parses numerous txt files in a directory that are almost all formatted identically, then inserts the values into columns of my sql db. However, there are a few files that the app has come across where a value is 'blank' instead of '0.0', so the application fails stating that it cannot convert that value to numeric. Is there a way I could change the following code to say what says AND also add 'IF value is blank, then import 0.0 instead? foreach (SqlParameter parameter in insertCommand.Parameters) { parameter.Value = null; } string[] values = line.Split(new[] { ',' }); for (int i = 0; i < values.Length - 1; i++) { // if (i = "" || i = null) continue; SqlParameter param = insertCommand.Parameters[i]; if (param.DbType == DbType.Decimal) { decimal value; param.Value = decimal.TryParse(values[i], out value) ? value : 0; } else { param.Value = values[i]; } }

  • Advanced count and join in Rails

    - by trobrock
    I am try to find the top n number of categories as they relate to articles, there is a habtm relationship set up between the two. This is the SQL I want to execute, but am unsure of how to do this with ActiveRecord, aside from using the find_by_sql method. is there any way of doing this with ActiveRecord methods: SELECT "categories".id, "categories".name, count("articles".id) as counter FROM "categories" JOIN "articles_categories" ON "articles_categories".category_id = "categories".id JOIN "articles" ON "articles".id = "articles_categories".article_id GROUP BY "categories".id ORDER BY counter DESC LIMIT 5;

  • C++ Inheritance Question

    - by shaz
    I have a base class MessageHandler and 2 derived classes, MessageHandler_CB and MessageHandler_DQ. The derived classes redefine the handleMessage(...) method. MH_DQ processes a message and puts the result in a deque while MH_CB processes the message and then executes a callback function. The base class has a static callback function that I pass along with a this pointer to a library which calls the static callback when a new message is available for processing. My problem comes when I am in the static callback with a void * pointing to either a MH_DQ or a MH_CB. If I cast it to the base class the empty MessageHandler::handleMessage(...) method is called, rather than the version in the appropriate derived class. What is the best way to address this situation from a design perspective and/or what language features might help me to implement a solution to my problem? Thanks in advance!

  • Advantage database throws an exception when attempting to delete a record with a like statement used

    - by ChrisR
    The code below shows that a record is deleted when the sql statement is: select * from test where qty between 50 and 59 but the sql statement: select * from test where partno like 'PART/005%' throws the exception: Advantage.Data.Provider.AdsException: Error 5072: Action requires read-write access to the table How can you reliably delete a record with a where clause applied?

  • Error running celeryd

    - by Eric Palakovich Carr
    I'm posting this question (and answer) so if anybody else has this problem in the future, you'll be able to google it. If you are trying to run celeryd in Django like so: python manage.py celeryd You can receive the following error immediately after it has started: celery@eric-desktop-dev has started. Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 11, in <module> execute_manager(settings) <... snip ...> File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/amqplib-0.6.1-py2.6.egg/amqplib/client_0_8/connection.py", line 134, in __init__ self._x_start_ok(d, login_method, login_response, locale) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/amqplib-0.6.1-py2.6.egg/amqplib/client_0_8/connection.py", line 704, in _x_start_ok args.write_longstr(response) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/amqplib-0.6.1-py2.6.egg/amqplib/client_0_8/serialization.py", line 352, in write_longstr self.write_long(len(s)) TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len() A rather cryptic error message, with no real clue as to where to go to fix the problem. See below for the answer so you don't waste a bunch of time on this error like I did today :)

  • Looking for merge tool with very good in-line-comparison support

    - by peter p
    I have seen this topic discussed several times, but emphasis is on "very good in-line-comparison" here, which was not really covered by those threads. E.g. I would like the tool to recognize and highlight that the resource "colorpicker_newstring" has been added when comparing the following two blocks. WinMerge and Kdiff both fail... Does anyone know a software that does not? I am using Windows. Ah, and I'd prefer free/OS software, of course. Thanks a lot in advance, Peter File A: <resource name="colorpicker_title">Color picker</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_apply">Apply</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_transparent">Transparent</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_htmlcolor">HTML color</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_red">Red</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_newstring">New String</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_green">Green</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_blue">Blue</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_alpha">Alpha</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_recentcolors">Recently used colors</resource> File B: <resource name="colorpicker_title">Sélecteur de couleur</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_apply">Appliquer</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_transparent">Transparent</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_htmlcolor">Couleur HTML</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_red">Rouge</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_green">Vert</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_blue">Bleu</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_alpha">Alpha</resource> <resource name="colorpicker_recentcolors">Couleurs récentes</resource>
