If I have a video file at 320x240 resolution which I want to re-encode (because I don't like the encoding it's in now) and I also want to play it at double size (640x480), will I get higher quality if I scale it up to 640x480 when I convert it to a new format, verses keeping it at 320x240 in the new format and playing it at double size?
This probably depends on the program used to convert, and if so, please let me know any program which might increase the quality.
Here's my thinking. If I play a 320x240 file at double size, the system has to scale up each frame in real time, whereas if I scale up while recompressing the system may be able to use a more intensive algorythm like Bicubic interpolation . However I am not sure if this is true or not.
I'm using emacs with TRAMP ( C-x C-f /ftp:[email protected]:/ ), and randomly, sometimes ten minutes, sometimes, ~12 seconds (no exaggerating) my connection will close (I think). I'll try to type, or list a dir, and it will say "Opening FTP connection to site.com...". Is there a way to tell it to just keep the connection open until I exit? Or is it the webserver killing the connection? I'm just using standard FTP.
Thanks.
I have a domain controller on Windows Server 2008. When I set up my users, I gave them all a dummy password with the "must change on next login" checked.
Everyone's machine is all on the same network as the domain controller, but we are not forcing them to join their computers to the domain. The DC has a website which requires the use of domain accounts to access it.
How do I tell my users to change their domain passwords without connecting their PC to the domain or making them log in to a machine on the domain? I do not want anything I will have to install on each client to allow them to change their passwords (I have a password expiration policy). Most of these workstations are XP.
Why does MS SQL Server Management Studio almost freeze up my computer while it restores? It makes it so when I click on the clock it takes seconds for the calendar to open. I don't see why this should be since I have 4 gigs of ram and a dual core CPU. Thanks

How to force Windows XP to rename a file with a special character?
I have a few files whose names have characters such as "?" and ":" that are forbidden by windows. I'm not sure how they managed to get there with these names, since I can't manually create files with these names. They're recovered from an HFS drive, but the tool that recovered them was running under windows and so should have been subject to the same restrictions while creating them, I would think.
Anyway... now that they're here, I can open them, but I can't move, copy, rename, or delete them. I want to delete a few of them, but most I want to save and copy to another drive. How might I go about this?
I am using CentOS 5.
I am trying using Mod_Security which requires liblua. I was not able to find lua on the default repos. I prefer not to use any third party repos. This in mind, I downloaded the lua source from the offical site. After compiling the only file even close is liblua.a. I need a liblua-5.1(.4).so file for Apache.
How do I make a .so file for liblua?
Right now I am using an absolute path to connect i.e.
server/var/svnroot/repositoryname
I would like to be able to do
/server/repoistoryname
Is there a way to set this up? I would like to avoid symmlinks since that adds overhead. I would rather just have SVN automatically goto the folder similar to how the DocumentRoot works with Apache.
I am working in CentOS 5, I was wondering why exec-shield isn't on by default? I found a bunch of articles on how to enable and disable it as well - but nothing answering why anyone would want it off. Any cons to turning it on?
I was just poking around in /usr/bin and I found an ELF binary file called [. /usr/bin/[. I have never heard of this file and my first thought was that it was a clever way of hiding a program, possibly a trojan. However it's present on all my CentOS servers and seems to have no manual entry. I can hazard a guess as to what it is but I was looking for a more authoritative answer...
The Oracle VIP Reception at the Oracle Retail Week Awards last week saw retail luminaries from around the UK and Europe gather to have a drink and celebrate the successes of retail in the last year. Guests included Lord Harris of Peckham, Tesco's Philip Clarke, Vanessa Gold from Ann Summers, former Retail Week editor Tim Danaher, Richard Pennycook from Morrisons and Ian Cheshire from Kingfisher Group.
The new Retail Week editor-in-chief, Chris Brook-Carter, attended and took the time to speak to the guests about the value of the Oracle Retail Week Awards to the industry and to thank Oracle for its dedication to supporting the industry.
Chris said: "I'd like to say a real heartfelt thanks to our partner this evening: Oracle. I had the privilege of being at the judging day and I got to meet Sarah and the team and I was struck by not only the passion that they have for the whole awards system and everything that means in terms of rewarding excellence within the retail industry but also their commitment to retail in general, and it's that sort of relationship that marks out retail as such a fantastic sector to be involved in."
Chris's speech can be watched in full below:

So, for my clients to who have sites hosted on my server, I create user accounts, with standard home folders inside /home.
I setup an SSH jail for all the collective users, because I really am against using a separate FTP server. Then, I installed ACL and added acl to my /etc/fstab — all good.
I cd into /home and chmod 700 ./*.
At this point users cannot see into other users home directories (yay), but apache can't see them either (boo)
. I ran setfacl u:www-data:rx ./*. I also tried individual directories.
Now apache can see the sites again, but so can all the users. ACL changed the permissions of the home folders to 750.
How do I setup ACL's so that Apache can see the sites hosted in user's home folders AND 2. Users can't see outside their home and into others' files.
Edit: more details:
Output after chmod -R 700 ./*

So I currently have a ListView "List A" who's items each have an expander control which contains another ListView "List B". The problem I am having is that sometimes List B grows so big that it extends beyond the range of List A's view area. List A's scroll bars do not pick up the fact that parts of List B are not being displayed. Is there a way to setup my xaml so that the scroll bars for List A will detect when the list inside the expander is longer then the viewing area of List A.
Here is the section of code I need to modify:
<TabItem Header="Finished">
<TabItem.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<DataTemplate x:Key="EpisodeItem">
<DockPanel Margin="30,3">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" DockPanel.Dock="Left" />
<WrapPanel Margin="10,0" DockPanel.Dock="Right">
<TextBlock Text="Finished at: " />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TimeAdded}" />
</WrapPanel>
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="AnimeItem">
<DockPanel Margin="5,10">
<Image Height="75" Width="Auto" Source="{Binding ImagePath}" DockPanel.Dock="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
<Expander Template="{StaticResource AnimeExpanderControlTemplate}" >
<Expander.Header>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Text="{Binding AnimeTitle}" />
</Expander.Header>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Episodes}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource EpisodeItem}" BorderThickness="0,0,0,0" />
</Expander>
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ResourceDictionary>
</TabItem.Resources>
<ListView Name="finishedView" ItemsSource="{Binding UploadedAnime, diagnostics:PresentationTraceSources.TraceLevel=High}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource AnimeItem}" />
</TabItem>
List A is the ListView with name "finishedView" and List B is the ListView with ItemSource "Episodes"
I have been porting an app from Flex 3.4.x to 4.0.. I have successfully ported the app and its libraries to flex 4.0, I've also removed ALL the references to http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx in any of my mxml files... In short I "think" I have moved everything over to the new mx framework (2009).. But I still get the following error (which never happend in 3.4 or 3.5 with this same app) when I try to run my flex app.
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
at mx.preloaders::Preloader/initialize()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\preloaders\Preloader.as:253]
at mx.managers::SystemManager/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::initialize()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\SystemManager.as:1925]
at mx.managers::SystemManager/initHandler()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\SystemManager.as:2419]
At this point I am completely stumped.. anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
We're trying to work out a deployment strategy for an internal tool that we're creating. It's a control that uses a set of 3rd party libraries to communication with a specific type of server. So I have a class library built that uses these libraries.
I was looking to deploy a silverlight application that uses our library, which in turn uses a set of 3rd party libraries. When trying to reference the 3rd party libraries, I get the "library can not be referenced because it was not built as a silverlight library".
The type of project I'm trying to build is a silverlight application - not a dll library or anything else. Is it possible to create a silverlight application using libraries created outside of silverlight?
In my .htaccess file, I have set up several A records in the following structure:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^substring\/substring\/etc?$
"http\:\/\/domain\.com\/newsubstring\/etc\/" [R=301,L]
Is is possible to easily set up a CNAME record in the same fashion and put it in my .htaccess file? Unfortunately, my dumb DNS (namecheap) doesn't let me change CNAME records because my site actually has hosting and isn't just a parked domain.
(I actually just want to set up a CNAME for www, since at the moment www.domain.com doesn't work for me, and only domain.com -- I'm going to point the former to the latter.)
I'm extremely new to SOAP and I'm trying to implement a quick test client in PHP that consumes a ASP.NET web service. The web service relies on a Soap Header that contains authorization parameters.
Is it possible to send the auth header along with a soap request when using WSDL?
My code:
php
$service = new SoapClient("http://localhost:16840/CTI.ConfigStack.WS/ATeamService.asmx?WSDL");
$service->AddPendingUsers($users, 3); // Example
webservice
[SoapHeader("AuthorisationHeader")]
[WebMethod]
public void AddPendingUsers(List<PendingUser> users, int templateUserId)
{
ateamService.AddPendingUsers(users, templateUserId, AuthorisationHeader.UserId);
}
How would the auth header be passed in this context? Or will I need to do a low lever __soapCall() to pass in the header? Also, am I invoking the correct soap call within PHP?
