I was wondering if anyone knew if you could, and if so how to show the iPhone in a Keynote presentation to demo software on it? Kinda like they do at the Apple Events?
If anyone know thanks :p
I often have to explain computing concepts to non super users, and I often do it by relating computing concepts to real life situations.
I wouldn't mind seeing how other super users do it, and some really good explanations might come in handy instead of me having to wing it.
So, how do you explain advanced computing topics to the 'normal' people?
Notes: One explanation per answer, and let the best float to the top. CW turned on, since this is subjective. Also, feel free to edit my tags if you can think of better ones =)
Found some topics about archiving into h264, but those were about the generic questions (does it worth it, which codec to use.)
I want to use h264 (with CUDA (if possible)). So far I only found Avidemux a usable encoder with x264 but it makes an unwatchable video file after the encoding (using the best profile, all setting maxed out), really blurry.
Please write down detailed what to use, where to get it (if its free, doesnt matter), what to set, etc.
Thanks in advance.

I've seen threads on similar topics - such as this one - but the answers never seem to solve how to make it bootable.
I have Win 7 64-bit on a PC installed on a 2tb MBR volume. The motherboard is UEFI compatible.
I just installed a secondary internal 3TB drive which will be partitioned as GPT.
Is there a relatively easy way to clone my installation over to the new drive and have that drive be bootable?
I have used EaseUS Partition Master to clone the C volume to the D volume, but that would not boot and I assume the issue is that one is MBR and one is GPT.
Is there a process to do this?
Many years ago, I had a product called Quickeys for the Macintosh that allowed me to record keyboard and mouse events and create a macro that could be assigned to a keyboard accelerator.
This was a really useful tool, but I haven't seen anything like it ever on Microsoft Windows OS platform.
Does such a product exist?
I use the dvorak keyboard layout on windows 7. Also, I have a bunch of custom keys mapped using autohotkey. I'm curious, is it possible to have the guest only receive the keyboard events produced by the host?
I don't really know how the host communicates keyboard strokes to guests so I don't know how to enable this or if it's possible. Thoughts?

Hello, I'm testing the Mozilla calendar, Sunbird.
I've added a 4-days event, but I find that it looks a little weird, compared to what it looks like in google calendar :
Sunbird
Google Calendar
is there an option to have the long events span multiple cells ?
I have Xubuntu 11.10, XFCE. I want to send DBus signals to the players so that they worked like in Gnome: you press 'play' key, it plays, 'next' - it forwards, and so on.
For that, I need to bind to the multimedia keys a set of commands like this:
dbus-send --dest=org.gnome.Rhythmbox ...
Now, I searched and can't find it: what signals should I send? I need only 3 events: play, forward and rewind.
i'm having trouble with the display of japanese characters on Windows 8 Pro (English, 64-bit, updated regularly). They appear as boxes (picture) in windows explorer, windows menus (even in the language settings of control panel), iTunes and nearly everywhere else, besides web browsers. I was using windows 7 until now, and it didn't have any of these problems, and i'm using the same applications now, as i was using in windows 7. Sometimes (!) when i restart the machine the problem goes away, but that isn't a real solution.
What i've tried so far:
added japanese language to windows of course
installed/uninstalled/reinstalled japanase language pack (didn't have any impact though)
i've read in one of these superuser topics a possible solution, when i had to create a txt file on the desktop with a kanji in the filename - that also didn't work (but i honestly hope that hacking and tweaking an operation system released in 2012 can't be the solution to display kanjis..)
Please give me any ideas, i'm a bit hopeless here, and don't want to spend my life installing operation systems..
We've been hitting the max open files limit on a few services recently. There are also a bunch of other limits in place. Is there a way to monitor how close processes are to these limits so we can be alerted when it's time to either up the limits or fix the root cause? On the same note, is it possible to view a log of these events so we know when a crash occurs it's because of hitting one of these limits?

I am writing sql reports to an oracle database, spooling them to a file and emailing them with mailx. I use the syntax below. The reports do not format properly, unless I use the Courier New font. How do I set this with mailx?

I am trying to install Java SDK for windows 7 (Ultimate version, 64bit), I downloaded the following file from oracle website: jdk-7u9-windowsx64.exe. When I try to execute it, I get an error that it is not a valid win 32 application. I think the JDK version is correct. Can somebody help me out? Also, comment if you need more info about my machine configuration to help me out.
Edit: I have 4 GB RAM on my system , Dell Latitude E4310
How can you start up Ion3?
I installed Ion by apt-get.
I have the exec ion in my .xinitrc.
I get

Any ideas would be appreciated...
I'm having some difficulties when I'm trying to connect to my local SQL Server.
I'm pretty sure the server is running (many of the other topics on this subject suggests that the services might not be running, so I kinda looked into it, but they do seem to be running).
But when I try to access it through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio it doesn't seem to be able to find them.
Server type: Database Engine
Server name: ILIZANESQL* - I'm trying to "browse for more..." to find my server, but it doesn't show up
Authentication: Windows Authentication
We have a server that has an open remote desktop port to the internet (no VPN.) Several people are allowed to log on to the machine remotely. The server runs Windows 7 (desktop OS.)
I can find logon times using Event Viewer, but it does not show the IP address of the remote machine. At any rate, manually browsing Event Viewer for all login events would be time consuming, to say the least.)
Is a way to find out which IP addresses are using Remote Dekstop ?
I'm studying for my Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) on my own and was wondering who you could recommend for study materials? I did shell out a bunch of money for a local class and when it came to taking the test, there were a slew of topics which weren't even covered. For example, in my 070-293 test, they didn't even touch such as Certificates, how to setup clusters, sql server clustering, etcs. I realize there is a bunch out there such as cbtnuggets, preplogic, etcs.
Which online preps do you suggest best preps you for the tests before I spend any more money on this stuff?
thanks in advance
I've been developing webapps for a while ... and I always had a sysadmin which made the environment perfect to run my apps with no worries.
But now I am starting a project on myself, and I need to set up a server, knowing near to nothing about it.
All I need to do is just have a Linux, with a webserver (I usually used Apache), PHP and MySQL. I'll also need SSH, SSL to run https:// and FTP to transfer files.
I know how to install almost everything (need advice about SSL) with Ubuntu Server, but I am concerned about the security topic ... say: firewall, open/closed ports, php security, etc ...
Where can I found a good guide covering this topics?
Everything else in the server... I don't need it, and I wanna know how to remove it, to avoid resources consumption.
Final note: I'll be running the webapp at amazon-ec2 or rackspace cloud servers.
Thanks in advance!!

The acpi Event power_button is triggered. at /etc/acpi/events/power_button

How can i find out the "Caller" or the Trigger of this event ?
Can I get solar winds to change a DNS alias in Active directory based upon a specific set of events or conditions?
I have a collection of applications that use hostnames in combination with database names in order to resolve database connections, problem is that they haven't considered how a failover would work in practice so I want the product to provoke a change in DNS to point the apps at the right place if we get into a failure situation.
Can it be done?
I have a Windows 2008 system with VMware Oracle RAC and Linux CentOS as guest OS plus Visual Studio etc installed. Can anybody tell me how do I go about creating a system image so restores can be a snap?
Let me first say that there are loads of topics regarding this, and I am sure i have seen them all by now. Still non of the solutions seem to help.
I installed vsftpd. created a user ftp-data. Now I need that files uploaded by user ftp-data would have 755 permissions. Solving this should be as easy as adding:
local_umask=002
file_open_mode=0755
but that did not help, then I have tried a number of variations of this, still did not help.
The I added:
chmod_enable=YES
still did not help.
At the moment I think that I am missing something very simple and obvious, just cant find it. Maybe someone could help me to find what I am missing.
This is my config file:
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=002
anon_upload_enable=NO
anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO
dirmessage_enable=NO
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog
listen=YES
local_root=/var/www/ftp-gallery
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
I have an Excel spreadsheet of student data. For each of 30 topics, students are traffic lighted R, A or G (for red, amber, green) in the spreadsheet. I am mail merging individual result print-outs in Word 2010. However, rather than printing the letter R/A/G next to each topic, I would rather change the background colour of the cell to that colour.
How can I do this? Is there an option with merge fields or can it be done with a macro (please provide sample code if so - I don't have experience with macros!)
I am trying to setup recycling logging events, using the following:
appcmd set config /section:applicationPools /[name=' AppPoolName '].recycling.logEventOnRecycle:time
But I am getting this error:
Failed to process input: The parameter ''].recycling.logEventOnRecycle:time' mus
t begin with a / or - (HRESULT=80070057).
I used this technet article but I cannot figure out where I went wrong.
Any ideas?
