I need to implement a 'stop list' to prevent users selecting common passwords in a new online service.
Can anyone point me to such a list online anywhere?
Edited: Note that I'm only trying to eliminate the most common passwords, not an exhaustive dictionary. And, of course, this complements a reasonably strong password policy (length, use of…
For example:
nginx and php-cgi are in the defaults run level, and they are not started yet.
What's the command to start them all, instead of starting then individually?
I know there is a command, but I totally forgot it.
The IIS 7 on Windows 2008 R2 is acting really weird. We deploy our web apps as web sites with appcmd.exe. After they are deployed, if I browse to them, I'll get HTTP 401 errors.
The web sites are only have Windows Authentication enabled and the providers are Negotiate and NTLM in such order. But if I swap the providers, the HTTP 401 error…
I've had no problem with vhosts before, but for some reason this one isn't pointing to the right document root. The domain is pointing to the correct IP, apache sees no errors with the config file in sites-available, yet it just isn't pointing correctly.

Instead of getting coke-bottle glasses, what software is out there to zoom in on a portion of the screen?

When trying to run an installer Jar file, I am getting an error saying that write access is denied to create a directory under the Program Files folder.
Right click - Run as Administrator is not available on Jar files (I assume because it is Java.exe that consumes them - they are not themselves treated as…
I'm not clear about the difference between Load Balancer and Reverse Proxy. They both seems having same behavior: distributing incoming requests to backend servers.
I'm having weird issues with the media keys (play/pause, previous, next, etc.) on a new Acer Aspire laptop. This is the first Acer I've owned and also my first Windows 7 computer, so I'm not sure whether the behavior is a result of some hidden Acer process that I haven't rooted out yet, or some Windows 7…
I would like to get console2 to work nicely with UAC
Particular problems I would like to tackle:
If I start non-elevated, have a way to elevate while running. It'd be especially nice if I could elevate individual tabs
