We recently ordered a laptop for an employee. It was delivered yesterday and we realized it had no web cam and wasn’t the 1080p resolution. He wasn’t happy. So, this morning, I sent an e-mail to our rep and asked him what we could do. Within an hour or two, he called me, arranged a replacement laptop with the corrected specs, set…
There are about 200 QA and DEV SQL Servers out there. There is a maintenance plan on many of them that performs a backup of all databases and removes the backup history files. First of all, I must admit that I’m no big fan of maintenance plans in particular or the SSIS packages in general. In this specific case, if I ever need to…

<b>IT Pro: </b>"In the case of LOVEFiLM, now a well-known name in the DVD and digital film market, open source has underpinned much of the company's work thus far."
I need a higher resolution for my program to run. For some reason I cannot discern alone, LOVE is not applying (or finding?) conf.lua.
My folder architecture is as follows:
basefolder/
basefolder/main.lua
basefolder/conf.lua
basefolder/Resources/
My conf.lua reads:
function love.conf(t)
t.window.width = 1280
t.window.height = 720…
The web-stat software Piwik stops reacting on mouse clicks after 1-2 seconds. The same is true for Google Maps and Producteev (but GMail and most other pages work like a charm). These rely heavily on JS, and work without Flash. I can click for a very short time period and then the mouse cursor doesn't feel the UI anymore (it doesn't turn into a…

but i couldn't find how to run my .LÖVE game directly from the lua interpreter? i'm…
Hi SO'ers,
I'm currently trying to access Active Directory via the dbms_ldap API in Pl/Sql (Oracle). The trouble is that I'm not able to connect with my own username and password or anynoymously.
However, in C# I can connect anonymously with this code :
DirectoryEntry ldap = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://Hostname");…
So I have noticed that there is a lot of animosity towards Objective-C among programmers. What's your take? Is it a vendor lock-in thing against Apple? General antipathy towards Apple? The syntax? What's your view on this?
With the advent of the iPhone SDK, Obj-C has gotten a lot more attention lately, and I am…
It seems that everybody is jumping on the dynamic, non-compiled bandwagon lately. I've mostly only worked in compiled, static typed languages (C, Java, .Net). The experience I have with dynamic languages is stuff like ASP (Vb Script), JavaScript, and PHP. Using these technologies has left a bad taste in my…
While I can see the value and usefulness of regular expressions, I also find that they are extremely complicated and difficult to create and debug. I am often at the point where I find their usefulness is offset by the difficulty in creating expressions.
I am a bit astonished by the fact that there is…
I'm using Löve2D for writing a small game. Löve2D is an open source game engine for Lua. The problem I'm encountering is that some antialias filter is automatically applied to your sprites when you draw it at non-integer positions.
love.graphics.draw( sprite, x, y )
So when x or y is not round (for…
I want to setup a test database on a vm for development purposes but I cannot connect to the server via the network.
I've got Ubuntu 12.04vm installed on 12.04 host in Virtualbox 4.2.4 set to

When I try to ping the virtual guest from any network client I…
Chances are you have at least one “creative” friend who’s a Mac advocate. Ever wondered how Apple got a reputation as the “creative company,” or why artists are so drawn to them? Surely, computers can’t make you creative, can they?
Maybe you’re an avid Mac Hater, or maybe you’re an Apple…
Last week, I had my very first SQL in Sixty Seconds Video of this year. Lots of people send me email asking for me to continue this series as it was extremely fun at times to watch the video. I am going to start the series again in the month of June. However, I need your help to decide…
I'm new to linux. I've deployed a db to ubuntu server on amazon and found out I'm low on disk space. did df (see below) - and found out that I'm 89% capacity on one file system, but less on others. What does this mean? Do I have a few partitions and can now utilize others besides…
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…

I am looking at replacing some unmanaged 16 port store bought GB switches and wanted to go with Cisco but it may be cost prohibitive.
Instead I am looking at ProCurve or Dell's PowerConnect line up.

I like programming so much, i did it since i was 10, and i believe that studying computer science will make a lot of money as well as i love it. However I also want to learn hardware. I don't only want to do programming all the time without knowing the architecture of…
I’m a developer, I like to write new exciting code everyday, my perfect day at work is a day that when I wake up, I know that I have to write some code that I haven’t done before or to use a new framework/language/platform that is unknown to me. The best days in the…
