Is there a utility I can use that will take a backup of my flash drive every time I insert it into the computer with out me having to take any action?
I would prefer something that runs on mac and windows.
when launching chrome from the windows command line I can pass arguments like so:
...>chrome.exe -incognito
I can also pass a URL to open
...>chrome.exe google.com
Each work fine on their own but I can't get them to work together.
What I want is to launch it with a url, and open in its OWN tab, and hide the url, buttons, etc. like a utility window but I do want it resizable.
I want a Qt window to come up with the following arrangement of dock widgets on the right.
Qt allows you to provide an argument to the addDockWidget method of QMainWindow to specify the position (top, bottom, left or right) but apparently not how two QDockWidgets placed on the same side will be arranged.
Here is the code that adds the dock widgets. this uses PyQt4 but it should be the same for Qt with C++
self.memUseGraph = mem_use_widget(self)
self.memUseDock = QDockWidget("Memory Usage")
self.memUseDock.setObjectName("Memory Usage")
self.memUseDock.setWidget(self.memUseGraph)
self.addDockWidget(Qt.DockWidgetArea(Qt.RightDockWidgetArea),self.memUseDock)
self.diskUsageGraph = disk_usage_widget(self)
self.diskUsageDock = QDockWidget("Disk Usage")
self.diskUsageDock.setObjectName("Disk Usage")
self.diskUsageDock.setWidget(self.diskUsageGraph)
self.addDockWidget(Qt.DockWidgetArea(Qt.RightDockWidgetArea),self.diskUsageDock)
When this code is used to add both of them to the right side, one is above the other, not like the screen shot I made. The way I made that shot was to drag them there with the mouse after starting the program, but I need it to start that way.
some week in the future i will have job to create php web app that will work as billing process. As the client and my team agree upon, the web app will only deploy in their internal server. This need arose some fundamental questions for myself.
how do we lock the web app really really will work only in internal server and not in internet as it asked ? cause this need, the cost for the job have been cut into some degree. so it will be best if it only work as client describe it : it will be deploy in intranet an intranet only
What is the pro and cons deploy php application only (with all of its apache server )in intranet ?
What is the fundamental different between deploying php app in intranet environment and in internet ? is there anything to be consider ?
I know we can put windows in to a flash-disk or pen-disk. i there any autorun apache/php server that work in the same fashion ?
My program has the feature to export a hi-res image of the working canvas to the disk. Users will frequently try to export images of about 20,000 x 10,000 pixels @ 32bpp which equals about 800MB. Add that to the serious memory consumption already going on in your average 3D CAD program and you'll pretty much guarantee an out-of-memory crash on 32-bit platforms.
So now I'm exporting tiles of 1000x1000 pixels which the user has to stitch together afterwards in a pixel editor. Is there a way I can solve this problem without the user doing any work?
I figured I could probably write a small exe that gets command-lined into the process and performs the stitching automatically. It would be a separate process and it would thus have 2GB of ram all to itself. Or is there a better way still? I'd like to support jpg, png and bmp so writing the image as a bytestream to the disk is not really possible.
A few weeks ago I came across a utility which listed good quality free/open source software and made it easy to install - stuff like Firefox, Open Office, GIMP etc....
...and now I can't find it. Clues gratefully received!
I have noticed that when selecting options (drop down menus, radio buttons etc) on some websites you see an ever more complex URL being created and then you can use that URL to access that website at a later date and go straight to the page with your desired options. Unfortunately on other websites the URL remains fixed and you appear to have no choice but to select the options all over again. I was wondering if there was some utility that would help automate this process.
I am looking for a (Windows XP) utility (preferably a standalone app) that can let me set a hotkey to adjust the gamma (and hopefully other color settings) of the overlay surface.
ATI Tray Tools does not have the ability to bind the overlay color adjustments to the overlay. I’ve asked him about it and he said it was difficult to implement or something (he was kind of vague). The ATI Catalyst drivers do not have a hotkey function for the overlay tab either.
Can anyone help?
I've used the mklink utility to create a symlink to a directory of web content. IIS7 doesn't "see" changes any classic ASP files in this linked directory without issuing an iisreset. I've disabled caching and file changes are picked up on other static files (such as .html) but .asp files are ignored.
I am looking for a utility that can take a snapshot of the files in directories that I am interested in and then compare that snapshot to the current state of the system and show me any files that have been added, changed, or deleted. Does anyone know of solutions that provide this functionality?
Thanks,
Nate
I work with four monitors and software that displays a great many windows. Every now and then things go wrong and I'll end up with a window that is partially or completely "off the screen". Is there a trick or utility that will help me rescue the windows and bring them back in to view.
Hello,
I have a RS232C/USB cable to connect an electronic device to my iMac Intel (MacOSX SnowLeo 10.6.3).
Is there a utility program that allows for sending ASCII characters on the USB port that the RS232C device will understand?
If possible, I'd rather avoid programming. I'd prefer an Automator script or a simple program with a GUI.
Thanks
Is there any utility to create/convert a image to binary TIFF image. I want to use that binary tiff image as a input to a software ( an open source project which takes only binary tiff images as input).
Link extractor - since I don't know a better name for it; a utility which can take a .htm file, and give me links from it, not counting and so, just direct links. Useful for files in which you have a number of html links which are in a text and so on ...
Anyone knows of some, by any chance ?
Hi all,
Is there any tool/utility that can help me find how many NATs exist between my home machine and public Internet? Any reference to any protocols that would help me to figure this out would also be useful.
Thanks in advance,
The S.M.A.R.T C5 value of my Samsung HM640JJ Hard Drive (in an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop) is "yellow status = caution"
C5 was 10 yesterday, and it's 21 today.
C4 (Reallocation Event Count) = 0 and 05 (Reallocated Sectors Count) = 0
How can I force the firmware to reallocate them?
I removed the partitions, recreated them again and formatted the entire drive.
I ran chkdsk /r /f
I ran the BIOS disk check utility and other diagnose/repair tools
Does anyone know of a utility (any OS or online) that, with a string input, identifies the encoding type (checksum, base64, etc) and if possible (and appropriate) decodes the string?
I'm seeing a weird access denied issue with WMI. we're trying to create a diff disk based on a parent vhd in a windows service app that runs under network service (machine account is an admin). everything works fine when we create the diff disk on other machine using wmi - we use an admin user account. however, we cannot do this on a local machine as wmi doesn't take user cred for the local machine. so thought network service account already should have access for this, it seems like it doesn't and even if we run the service under an admin service account, it fails. any pointers???

In windows 7, is there a way (by using common interface or a custom utility) to know how much memory a specific windows service is using ?
It seems most services are hosted by svchost.exe processes ( some svchosts.exe processes seems to host tons of services). While it is possible to know which services are hosted by a specific process, I found no way to get information about how much memory a service take.
In one of our servers, SQL Server service though set to manual and its dependant services are stopped, still it starts automatically if we stop the SQL Server service.
Is there a utility or way to find out who or which service is starting SQL Server Service?
I don't really like the built-in tools for configuring the network settings on Windows XP. If for some reason I can't access the internet I never know where to look. Does anyone know of a good utility for fixing your internet or local network?
In C# how can I serialize a List to a byte[] in order to store it in a DB field?
I know how to serialize to a file on the disk, but how do I just serialize to a variable?
Here is how I serialized to the disk:
List<int> l = IenumerableofInts.ToList();
Stream s = File.OpenWrite("file.bin");
BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
bf.Serialize(s, lR);
s.Close();
I'm sure it's much the same but I just can't wrap my head around it.
I've got a click once application that is leaving all old versions on my disk. It's an internal corporate application that gets frequent updates, so this is a disaster for rapidly inflating our backup size.
According to the docs and other SO questions, it is supposed to only leave the current and previous versions on disk. However, each time I deploy the project and upgrade a client, I get another copy of all exe/dll/data files. I'm making no changes whatsoever to the application, just pushing deploy again in Visual Studio.
Any ideas?
Updates:
The problem seems to happen on both Windows 7 and XP. 64 bit windows and 32.
I've done a diff of the folders where the version is installed and the following files are different:
MyApp.exe.manifest
MyApp.exe.cdf-ms
MyDll1.cdf-ms
MyDll2.cdf-ms
No actual executable files are different, nor the MyApp.manifest, MyDll1.manifest, etc.
I'd like to write a simple script that alerts me if a log changes. For this I'm using grep to find the lines I'm interested in. Right now it works like this:
grep line /var/log/file | mail -s Log [email protected]
Problem is that this sends a mail even if no matching lines are found. The mail utility from mailutils seems to have no switch telling it to drop mails that have an empty body.
Is there a quick and easy way to do so?
