HI,
Is there any tool which can easily change color of an image?
I heard of gimp. But I can't figure out how to use it to change color of an image (e.g. change the color from white to blue).
I am building a twitter app and need the web hosting account for learning purposes. I also need to work on MySQL databases. Since I am still a student I need a hosting service that is dirt cheap or cheap.
Hi, I'm looking for a way to minimize the net traffic use with my netbook mobile internet connection. Recently I managed to install Opera Mini on the XP and the opera approach of compressing the data helped a lot. But I would like to do the same with my favorite browser using http proxy that compress the data "on the fly". But searching for "compression proxy servers" I could not find any working host/port links. Is it a brand-new technology and therefore expensive or rarely available?
I'm a dyslexic and i generally use arial for most things, since its probably the most readable font for me. However i'd like to have a fixed width font with similar charecteristics (sans serif, distinct, 'simple' characters etc) since some things break with non fixed width fonts, but at the same time, most of the 'standard' fonts are harder to read for me- any suggestions?
The tablespace in Oracle 10g is almost 100% used.
Size (MB) = 571,768.0
Used (MB) = 571,534.0
I just deleted (and committed) thousands of records in a table that belongs to a schema associated with that tablespace. Surprisingly, no space was freed up according to the Tablespaces page on Enterprise Manager.
Question: is there anything that I need to do to force Oracle to release the space corresponding to the deleted records?
Is there something which may:
Play music, at the very least in MP3-format
Play video in various codec's
Helps in recording video of shows from TV through a TV-in card
Helps in organizing music and videos
Works with a keyboard and mouse
Additional pluses are:
If it also is possible to browse the web through it, or at least start the web browser
Has some games. Maybe through MAME or some other emulation like SNES or something.
If it's also possible to control it through a game pad.
I've finally decided that pen and paper/whiteboards are not up to the job as my workload increases so I'm looking for a good task tracking system.
I need something that can track tasks in categories (projects) and allow me to assign priority to each task.
I've tried iTeamWork which requires projects to have an end time which is no good for me as at least one of my projects is ongoing. I also tried Teamly which was required tasks to be set to a specific day which is no good as tasks sometimes take more than a day and I would like them organised by priority rather than specific days.
Preferably looking for something hosted but I'm happy to install on our servers if it supports PHP/MySQL.
Oh, and an iPhone client would be the icing on the cake!
Can anyone recommend anything?
Hi, I know in these days this is very stupid question, but for study purposes. I read that when PC starts, CPU is set to read adress just under the 4GB. There should BIOS be mapped to by memory controller.
My question is, in old days, had disabling BIOS shadowing actually freed some RAM for you? I mean, even when BIOS was not shadowed to RAM directly, still adresses for BIOS MMIO access were wasted. And when you cant adress it, its like there is no extra space gained.
I'm hoping to implement a VPN whereby about 200 concurrent users can log in to briefly access my network. I had a look at OpenVPN and this seemed excellent, but was hoping that there would be a less costly option on a per-concurrent-user basis.
I've no need for particularly strong security, and my only other requirement is that I would need to be able to add users in bulk via csv or similar.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
At the beginning of this year I took a VPS for my website because I was running against the resource limits from a shared hosting.
Here are the things I know:
2GB memory, with 1GB swap
Debian X64 server ED installed
Software running on the webserver:
mysql
apache
postfix
pop3
imap
amavisd
clamd
cron
fail2ban
munin-node
pure-ftpd
spamd
nginx
Now for the setup:
Nginx listens on port 80 and handles the static files, the php side is done by apache2 running mod_php in combi with apc(no var caching!).
Iam using a pretty 'busy' drupal and phpbb stack on the server, for drupal iam using boost and authcache to handle of the server load with a pressflow stack. phpbb is just phpbb3 with some mods installed, but has at max 30 users online at a time..
The problem is that its staring to use the swap after a few days after a reboot and thus the site becomes slower.
I'v added pictures of monit and munin, so maybe somebody can help me out...

I'm reading about Google App Engine.
I'm creating a bunch of simple dynamic websites in java.
I'm considering to use Google App Engine and setup my clients' website on it.
In this way I've only to register a domain www.myclietdomain.com and then point that to the GoogleAppEngine application...
In this way I plan to avoid hosting costs.
Infact I'm paying even for hosting few static html pages...
Do you think that is possible to use Google App Engine for this scope?
I have used Visio to map out my network structure, and have used the export function to create an HTML page that is searchable by IP, hostname etc. This is a really nice tool and I use it often.
However, I would like for users who do not use Internet Explorer to be able to use the search features. What are some alternatives to Visio here? I want to draw a network diagram where objects are searchable.
Thanks!
We have Google apps in our company for mail delivery, our business can't pay the business version yet, however, we need to control the attachment types that employees download.
We recently switched from another hosting provider who recomended us to plug Google Apps for mail when we moved the domain, we had a firewall before which was able to prevent certain file types to be downloaded.
I know the business version has section for filtering mail (postini services). Is there a hack around my problem? Anyone ever had this problem? Thank you!
UPDATE:
The main problem is gmail apps uses ssl connection, can this be changed ? how can i get the firewall to filter files only allowing *.doc, *.xls y *.pdf.
I have several PDFs made up of book pages' scans. The scans are made from two pages at a time and some of these scans are skewed, making text appear slightly tilted.
I'm looking for a tool that could allow me to do an automatic optimization by deskewing the scans without losing readability. I've found the GPL software briss to crop the scans in order to have a 1:1 page ratio instead of 2:1, but I don't have any tool to deskew the pages.
I stumbled upon unpaper, another open source tool that seems perfect for what I want to do, but that tool is Linux only and it doesn't work on PDF files directly.
Any hint is appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello All,
I'm in the mid of researching for one of the best hosting control panels. The server I run is Ubuntu and I have some experience with ISPConfig 2 & 3. Since I haven't explored any others available, what are the recommended ones for an Ubuntu server?
I asked because I find that there seems to be some disabling and modifications required for an Ubuntu server if I need to use ispconfig which causes the server to change its actual way of running. It's quite good though, but any more recommended ones ?
Something more organic? which doesn't require much breaking and changing.
I'm not asking for the simple one, I don't mind going extra mile to install a powerful one but just try sticking with most Ubuntu's conventions will be an ideal one for me.
And of course, if there happens to be something that meets the requirement as mentioned "Ubuntu conventions" and also simple to install at the same time, that'd be a bonus.
Thanks in advance.
Is there any simple & freeware program to fix corrupted zip files for windows platform ? I've lot of corrupted zip files and would like to recover some of the files from it
Hi, we have some issues with a client-server based application and we would like to better understand client-server communication without going to the software company that sold the application. At least we would like to perform the analysis in parallel.
Can you suggest to me a dummy proof application that we can easily get and install to analyze client-server traffic?
Many thanks!
I'd like to copy files from a network drive to a SharePoint site (perhaps as a mapped drive). What's a good client to do so? Obviously Windows (XP) Explorer is bad, I"m trying RichCopy at the moment. Any opinions on CoreFTP? Are there any recommended open-source WebDAV clients?

Looking for a Linux script solution that can send alerts to a service such as Twitter, Skype or Google Talk and sends to Android and iPhone clients.
Have found twurl for Twitter with previous Bash scripts using curl no longer supported. But twurl looks promising. But haven't seen how to get Android Twitter client to make a distinctive sound when a tweet arrives.
Found some info about Skype4Py from several years ago that supports Skype Chats. But doesn't look like it is currently supported.
Have tried a few CLI clients for XMPP/Google Talk including xmpp4r-simple and freetalk, but found xmpp4r-simple buggy and freetalk succeeded in sending one chat message, but most never arrived.
Whatever is used needs to support Android and iPhone clients. Reason why email is problematic is that Gmail gets very upset when emails start flooding in every minute as a result of alerts.
Any suggestions?
