I am getting increasingly annoyed at wifi networks that require the user to fill in a login/pass by opening a browser. Are there any apps for iphone/ipod touch that are able to automate this step?
I'm trying to create partitions for a Slackware installation on my computer (beside Windows 7) just to have a nice distribution running mostly for school but when I run fdisk and print the partition table I get the following message:
Partition x does not end on cylinder boundary.
(In my case x = 1, just using x to help googlers.)
I must say I'm using a RAID card (AMCC 3ware 9500S SATA RAID Controller). Maybe this is the problem.
How can I fix this without losing any data?
In his recent blogpost, Thoughts on Flash, Steve Jobs says:
We also know first hand that Flash is
the number one reason Macs crash.
My best guess is that Flash runs in user-mode, with restricted privileges. Is is impossible to crash a system having restricted privileges.
What am I missing?

Multiple versions of Internet Explorer on a machine
I want to install multiple versions of Internet Explorer on Windows 7. Specifically versions 6, 7, and 8. (Currently I've got 8 installed.)
How do I get those 3 versions installed side by side?
(I need to do this to test and debug a web application on multiple Internet Explorer versions so other solutions to this end are also appreciated.)
Longtime Windows user, looking to get my feet wet with Linux. Since Windows makes comparatively little use of the command line, I'm naturally more comfortable with GUI tools for remote server administration tasks. However, before i rush out and install a VNC server on my Linux box, I want to get a sense of how many of Linux's various packages actually offer GUI front end. If not many, then it's probably not worth the effort.
Hello all
I have fedora installed in my system. I know the password but i forgot the user name. I can access through terminal but i don't no how to login through gui. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Background: I am working in Automator on a wrapper to a command line utility. I need a way to separate an arbitrary number of file paths delimited by a single space from a single string, so that I may remove all but the first file path to pass to the program.
Example input string:
/Users/bobby/diddy dum/ding.mp4 /Users/jimmy/gone mia/come back jimmy.mp3 ...
Desired output:
/Users/bobby/diddy dum/ding.mp4
Part of the problem is the inflexibility on the Automator end of things. I'm using an Automator action which returns unescaped POSIX filepaths delimited by a space (or comma). This is unfortunate because: 1. I cannot ensure file/folder names will not contain either a space or comma, and 2. the only inadmissible character in Mac OS X filenames (as far as I can tell) is :. There are options which allow me to enclose the file paths in double or single quotes, or angle brackets. The program itself accepts the argument of the aforementioned input string, so there must be a way of separating the paths. I just do not have a keen enough eye to see how to do it with sed or awk.
At first I thought I'll just use sed to replace every [space]/ with [newline]/ and then trim all but the first line, but that leaves the loophole open for folders whose names end with a space. If I use the comma delimiter, the same happens, just for a comma instead. If I encapsulate in double or single quotation marks, I am opening another can of worms for filenames with those characters.
The image/link is the relevant part of my Automator workflow.
-- UPDATE --
I was able to achieve what I wanted in a rather roundabout way. It's hardly elegant but here is working generalized code:
path="/Users/bobby/diddy dum/ding.mp4 /Users/jimmy/gone mia/come back jimmy.mp3"
# using colon because it's an inadmissible Mac OS X
# filename character, perfect for separating
# also, unlike [space], multiple colons do not collapse
IFS=:
# replace all spaces with colons
colpath=$(echo "$path" | sed 's/ /:/g')
# place words from colon-ized file path into array
# e.g. three spaces -> three colons -> two empty words
j=1
for word in $colpath
do
filearray[$j]="$word"
j=$j+1
done
# reconstruct file path word by word
# after each addition, check file existence
# if non-existent, re-add lost [space] and continue until found
name=""
for seg in "${filearray[@]}"
do
name="$name$seg"
if [[ -f "$name" ]]
then
echo "$name"
break
fi
name="$name "
done
All this trouble because the default IFS doesn't count "emptiness" between the spaces as words, but rather collapses them all.
I'm a new user of Mac OS X on my laptop. Currently I have Windows 7 and OS X on the same machine.
I can't figure out how to use the desktop correctly, no hard drive show, no right clicks, etc. Can someone explain the difference?
I have a local share with my vmware development server and I'm finding that when I create new files via osx, they are created under root instead of jacob.
Which is weird because when I do the connect to server thing I'm explicit about the user being jacob i.e.
afp://[email protected]/
Suggestions?

thanks
So I'm following this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/using-fail2ban-to-block-wrong-ispconfig-logins and the problem I have is that rsyslog won't redirect the output from a file to another
/etc/rsyslog.d/12-ispconfig.conf:
if $programname == 'ispconfig' then /var/log/ispconfig.log #the file exists
But I keep getting the output to syslog:
ispconfig[1117]: Login failed for user asdasd on IP XX.XX.XXX.XX
Any ideas how to fix this?
I have a question related to PKI Infrastructure , should an organization go with Microsoft PKI or an independent separate PKI Infrastructure ? Is there any licensing restrictions if I user Microsoft PKI Infrastructure ? Or should I get an independent PKI infrastructure from a vendor that offer PKI TSA and SP(Signature Proof) Infrastructure.
The wire says PCI-Express on one end. Here is what the cable looks like:
Can anyone tell me what this cable is called, and what it is used for (e.g., video card, optical drive, etc)?
My knowledge on the topic is rather limited, but does one have Kernel access/the general ability to change programs at run time whilst running Wine?
For Clarification: Can the user of the computer access any information they want via the Kernel on the underlying system running Wine, or does normal Windows security still apply?
What I do:
Copy an xml file (ctrl+C) on a Win Server 2008 machine.
Minimize mstsc.exe (remote connection app).
Paste the xml file on to my WinXP machine (ctrl+V).
The result:
All of the original contents are still present but another bit is appended at the end of it.
E.g. the proper end of the file looks something like this:
<ApplicationName>MyApp</ApplicationName>
</ReceivePort>
</ReceivePortCollection>
<PartyCollection xsi:nil="true" />
</BindingInfo>
But, after the copy, it looks like this:
<ApplicationName>MyApp</ApplicationName>
</ReceivePort>
</ReceivePortCollection>
<PartyCollection xsi:nil="true" />
</BindingInfo>al, PublicKeyToken=3zzf3xxxadyyy35" Type="1" TrackingOption="ServiceStartEnd MessageSendReceive PipelineEvents" Description="" />
<ReceivePipelineData xsi:nil="true" />
<SendPipeline xsi:nil="true" />
<SendPipelineData xsi:nil="true" />
<Enable>true</Enable>
<ReceiveHandler Name="WCF_OracleDB_Rx" HostTrusted="false">
<TransportType Name="WCF OracleDB" Capabilities="779" Configuratio
The extra bits it adds are things that come from earlier in the XML file. If I do the copy multiple times, the extra bits are always exactly the same but another XML file will add different lines.
Extra information:
If I copy/paste the file, as above, but first enclose it into a zip file I do not have the same problem. I.e. the file copies properly and without any extra surprises.
If I do a copy/paste from a Windows Explorer window that's opened to the folder on the remote machine, I do not have the same behavior. I.e. the file copies properly and without any extra surprises.
Question:
Why does this happen?
Does anyone still use the Lynx text-only web browser? It would seem useful for certain classes of low-end mobile devices, especially if one is billed per KB of data transfer.
Hello,
I'm looking for a software similiar to Windows Desktop Search or Google Desktop, that can also display results from our Intranet search engine in the same manner it displays regular results (files/emails/etc.).
So far I managed to add Intranet search capabilities to Windows Desktop Search, but it doesn't show the results in the programs UI, but requires the user to press a "Search Intranet" button that opens the browser.
Would be happy to hear any suggestions.
Thank you.

I have Windows 7 currently installed on the machine, and was booting off a cd with the Ubuntu 10 ISO on it.
I am trying to install the ATLAS BLAS library which recommends that I turn if CPU throttling to do the install.
How do I check if my CPU throttling is ON or OFF?
I tried the suggestion of
Code:
./cpufreq-selector -g performance
in the /usr/bin directory as suggested elsewhere in the forum but there was no output and the control returned back to the user.
I have searched everywhere but there does not seem to be a way to determine the status of the CPU throttling
