Recently I come to a topic that is similar somewhat to Green House Effect, "Green Computing". What does it consult with our IT field? Has it any consult with Cloud Computing ?
I have a forum application that stores data about users in MySQL. There's a field called 'password' of type 'varbinary(100), with the function UNHEX, and then a string of hexadecimal characters. I was wondering how secure this was, so I googled around trying to find how to convert it to text, and I couldn't find anything.
So my question is as follows: Is it possible to convert this to text? How would one go about doing this?
When Spotify is running, it shows a little icon in the activity field. On most operative systems, closing the Spotify window minimizes the player to the activity window, freeing up space in the task bar - but not in Windows 7, it seems.
I think it's a little uneccessary to have two icons in almost the same place that does almost the same thing. Is there anyway to hide a program icon from the task bar, in this case specifically Spotify?

What I would ideally like to do is add a "duration" field, so that you can tell without scrolling back on a Blackberry how long the event has been at fault for.
Is there an easy solution to this?
I'd like to be able to cite a newspaper article in LaTeX, but Bibtex seems to have no date field (it has year and month, but that doesn't seem sufficient). Is there any good way around this?
A previous answer suggested here leads me to the conclusion I can merge images, but without control of the datasource how can I make the image different based upon a field condition? For instance if the customer is Canadian the logo will be one thing, if US it will be another. There are actually account groupings and the parent companies have different assigned responses. I need to make conditional merges based upon the data I am receiving.
I have an CV and would like to automatically update my age when opening. So, what formula should I insert in a MS Word field?

When trying to connect to a server I get the following prompt :
By default Snow Leopard fill the Name field with Firstname Lastname found in System Pref - Account - My Account - Full Name !
I don't what to change my Full Name to the username I use to login to server !
How to you change the default Name Snow Leopard is using when connecting to server ?
Where can I get MICROSOFT WINDOWS PEER - TO - PEER NETWORKING speed characteristics?
I need to know if and what speed advantages you get with it over net.tcp and other ws-* bindings and if it is faster than flash 10.1 p2p and classic bittorrent p2p?
Is it good for live video broadcasting?
Has any one seen any reserches on this field?
We have a locally installed copy of Sugar CRM but the search works horribly! There is an "Account" with the name: "Dr. John Smith", and if you search for "Smith" that account won't show up in the results. How can you improve or "fix" the search field of Sugar CRM?
There was a graphical X-windows game on a 2D field, where you compete against computerized players (Bill Gates' clones?) to install operating systems on PCs.
You'd click a PC to install linux on it, but the little Bills would run around and put Windows back on it, etc...
What was this called? Anyone remember?
Thanks
Dell's OpenManager server admin tool can send email alerts, but the config for the SMNP server has no field to enter username/password.
Can it only make use of non-authenticated SMNP servers, or is there a way to enter username and password as part of the server name?

I'm using Fluid to handle Gmail, and I'd like to also use the same instance for Wave in another tab. How do I get it to open both Gmail and Wave when the application initially opens. I tried using | as a delimiter in the homepage field like Firefox uses, but it didn't work.
I accidentally disabled the administrator account on an install of Windows Server 2008 R2 via the net user command.
Now I cant get an elevated command prompt to re-enable the admin user, nor do any privileged operation that requires an admin password. Normally I would type in a password and click yes but there is no password field and yes is grayed out.
How can I re-enable the administrator account?

It looks like it has an issue with the contact form. All the contact form does is posts an ajax request to the same page, and than a PHP script mails the data (no database stuff).
Is there any a security issues here? Any ideas on how I can satisfy the security scanner?
Here is the form and script:
<form action="<?php echo $this->getCurrentUrl(); ?>" id="contactForm" method="post">
<input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" value="" class="txt requiredField name" />
//Some more text inputs
<input type="hidden" name="sendadd" id="sendadd" value="<?php echo $emailadd ; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" id="submitted" value="true" /><input class="submit" type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
// Some initial JS validation, if that passes an ajax post is made to the script below
//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
//Check captcha
if (isset($_POST["captchaPrefix"])) {
$capt = new ReallySimpleCaptcha();
$correct = $capt->check( $_POST["captchaPrefix"], $_POST["Captcha"] );
if( ! $correct ) { echo false; die(); } else {
$capt->remove( $_POST["captchaPrefix"] );
}
}
$dateon = $_POST["dateon"];
$ToEmail = $_POST["sendadd"];
$EmailSubject = 'Contact Form Submission from ' . get_bloginfo('title');
$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["Email"]."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["Email"]."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$MESSAGE_BODY = "Name: ".$_POST["Name"]."<br>";
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "Email Address: ".$_POST["Email"]."<br>";

When trying to connect to a server I get the following prompt :
By default Snow Leopard fill the Name field with Firstname Lastname found in System Pref - Account - My Account - Full Name !
I don't what to change my Full Name to the username I use to login to server !
How to you change the default Name Snow Leopard is using when connecting to server ?
We have hp rp2470 server running hp-ux 11.00, with LVM mirroring. As for redundancy we have second rp2470 same hw (same two processors, same ram, same two hdd’s, same number of lan cards).
I want to clone first one to the second. For that purpose I am making ignite tape with the following command: make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00
Ignite tape finishes without problems. When I boot second server from this ignate tape, server is starting to boot, and ignite restore finishes without any errors, only few notes, which are normal.
However vmunix is not booting and when restore finishes, it boot to ISL prompt.
From this I cannot boot /stand/vmunix.
I tried to run recovery shell but no success. When recovery shell ask to do frecover to restore critical files, then I receive error: frecover(5405): unable to open /dev/rmt/0m
At first I thought that the problem might be in the difference of the firmware version of the servers:
fw version of production server is: Firmware Version 43.50
and fw version of backup server is: Firmware Version 42.19
So i did a fw upgrade of my backup server so that both servers are v43.50, and tried a recovery but again cant boot the system.
Next I did another archive tape with -I (Interactive) flag:
make_tape_recovery -I -x inc_entire=vg00
and tried recovery with it, again no good.
I cannot find any error or warnings on ignite log, and I cannot boot hpux. I am only on ISL prompt.

Please note that I can not change anything on the production server. I can only make changes to the backup server.
Any help is appreciated.
Every time I create a pivot table (available for all Excel versions) I get one or several blank fields. How can I get rid of them?
One workaround I used was to select the blank field, right click | Filter | Hide Selected Items. This can solve my problem but I need to do it manually... Is there a way to automatically hide/exclude the blanks?
I'm looking to build a low-end computational server (my jargon in this field is especially limited so if someone can state that better please change that to meet jargon). I'm basically running computational fluid dynamics programs, large matrix computations and bioinformatics code. What would be the best way to approach cost/benefit analysis on what to put in the system? Perhaps even more general: How does one approach cost/benefit analysis on hardware theoretically (doing the analysis before building the machine)?
I've been using the dd-wrt firmware on my router and I like it a lot!
But -- I'm not sure the quality of service (QoS) is working on it. I have it set up as follows:
http, port 80 -- Premium
bittorrent, port 6969 -- Bulk
https, port 443 -- Premium
dns, port 53 -- Premium
Per the QoS documentation, these levels are:
bandwidth is allocated based on the following percentages of uplink and downlink values for each class:
Exempt: 100mbps - ignores global limits.
Premium: 75% - 100%
Express: 15% - 100%
Standard: 10% - 100%
Bulk: 1.5% - 100%
This doesn't entirely seem to work, though -- with busy torrents going I get major pauses in my web browsing which sucks!
The QoS documentation gives some steps to check the QoS ...
What you'll be interested to look at will be the first set of source and destination IP, including the port numbers. Next the presence of l7proto and the "mark" field. The entries indicate the current live connection QoS priority applied on them based on the "mark" field. The "mark" values correspond to the following
Exempt: 100
Premium: 10
Express: 20
Standard: 30
Bulk: 40
(no QoS matched): 0
You may see "mark=0" for some l7proto service even though they are in configured in the list of QoS rules. This may mean that the layer 7 pattern matching system didn't match a new or changed header for that protocol. Custom service on port matches will usually take care of these.
On port 6969 (bittorrent) I see a weird mixture of stuff with mark=0 and mark=40 like so
cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack

I've been playing around with this log for a little while and I can't see any patterns!
Why is some port 6969 bittorrent traffic tagged mark=0 (not matched) by dd-wrt's QoS while others are tagged mark=40 (Bulk) .. any ideas?
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-2188la and when it wakes from sleep the monitor flashes (screen flickers), and every time it flashes (2 seconds) it returns me to the beginning of the password field making it almost impossible input the password.
Does anyone knows what causes this problem?
I am setting up an Exchange 2010 SP2 for a customer.
However, the server address that the server returns with autodiscover is wrong, as it points to the internal domain (.local) - and not the external address.
How do I change this?
Here's an image to describe what I mean:
It is the upper field that is wrong.

I have 11 email accounts (work etc). When I'm creating a new message, the "from:" field is a dropdown list of my email accounts I wish to send the email from.
They are in the order of how I setup my accounts initially, frustrating in hindsight, having not known how I create my accounts (what order) would be a convenience issue down the road.
So, does anyone know how to modify the sort order of mail accounts?
