I love using Dropbox to sync files between all my machines, and I've heard it uses rsync internally to keep files synced.
Sometimes I need to sync very large things, and I don't necessarily want to pay for storage space on someone else's server when I have my own. So does anyone know of any nice cross-platform (pref. open source) automatic file-sync applications out there for this?
I was looking for a WiFi enabled palmtop tablet with Android (to replace this indecent tablet I bought just one week ago from a well known trendy company). At the moment, I see a lot of phones, and the only tablet is the Archos 5, which is not available yet. Am I missing something ? Please note: no phones. Just tablets. And no Nokia. I'd love Nokia, but it's not available here.
I tried running DxDiag (DirectX diagnostics), and I noticed that my graphics card is set to the onboard one that comes with the Core i5 processor (some Intel HD stuff).
On my computer, I also have a dedicated graphics card (an Nvidia 310). No serious gaming stuff, I know - just for programming.
However, I would still love to know how to switch to that dedicated graphics card instead.
My laptop is an MSI CX720.
I love using time to find out how long a command took to execute but when dealing with commands that execute sub-commands internally (and provide output that allows you to tell when each of those sub-commands start running) it would be really great to be able to tell after what number of seconds (or milliseconds) a specific sub-command started running.
When I say sub-command, really the only way to distinguish these from the outside is anything printed to standard out.
Really this seems like it should be an option to time.
I love using the formatting styles for tables in Excel 2007, but in my data I'm using the same column name for multiple columns. When I format my table using the pre-defined styles, it automatically adds an incremental number to each subsequent column name which I don't want. Is there any way to stop this from happening? If I attempt to manually rename the column back to the original name, it automatically appends the incremented number.
We have an EC2 instance (Ubuntu) that has a few java-based applications and lately we're getting hit with high CPU utilization spikes that trigger one of our Cloudwatch alarms. By the time we get into the server to look at the cpu utilization, things have calmed down.
What we'd love to see in one of the alarm emails is a list of running processes and their cpu utilization(%) at the time of the alarm. Is this even possible?
I learned how to change the size of hints by modifying fields in the :highlight Hint CSS. I made the hint numbers a big bigger, and as a result they overlap with the hints they're hinting to. (I'd love to post a picture but apparently I'm not entitled to that luxury yet, so I hope I'm clear enough...)
How can I introduce an offset or some other sort of buffer between the hints and the links themselves?
I love the way I can resize windows in vim using the mouse.
Is it possible to do the same in GNU screen? If not, is there an alternative to screen that supports this functionality?
mod_deflate seems pretty sweet.
I'd love to turn it on across the board for text/html--but for certain pages, I don't want to gzip since upstream proxies need to be able to inspect the content.
I know there's an AddOutputFilterByType directive -- is there any way to combine that w/ a header inspect so that if I see
X-NO-COMPRESS true
I skip mod_deflate?
In Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 I've created a template to use as an auto responder and I set a rule to respond using the template if my name is in the "to line".
Upon recieving any message the rule reports an error but gives no explination of what the error is.
My goal here is simply to make an auto responder, if there is a simpler way/workaround I would love any help getting the to work as I am leaving town very shortly.
Thank you!
Not a linux geek I am looking for a recommendation which Linux distro to use for a hyper-v based hosting envfironment (so access to the enlightment part easily is important).
I Would also love to have something that alloows me to split operating system read only files and user files easily without too much tinkering onto two discs, so that the boot disc can be read only.
(reasoning: This would allow me to set up a read only disc that is shared between multiple server instances, with the server disc only containing basically the user files)
How can I get Chrome to launch and close "developer tools" on Mac (like Firefug with F12 & ctrl+shift+c)). It was so convenient in Firefox/Firebug to just hit F12 followed by "toggle inspect mode" (ctrl+shift+c) and then hover my mouse over the different elements. I would love it if anyone else used to have this workflow.
Just learned about the screen command on linux - it is genius. I love it. However, the actual terminal/prompt in screen looks and behaves differently than my standard bash prompt. That is, the colors aren't the same, tab completion doesn't seem to work, etc.
Is there a way I can tell screen to behave just like a normal (at least, normal as in what I am used to) bash prompt ?

I have a really nice Amortization Schedule built in Excel using the steps from this page: http://www.wikihow.com/Prepare-Amortization-Schedule-in-Excel
It works really nicely, but I am planning to make some large payments and I would love to calculate how much interest I will save, over the life of the loan, for making these larger payment.
E.g., if I pay $10k for one payment I will save $4000 in interest over the life of the loan, etc.
Is there a way to calculate this?
I'd really love for my small business to migrate to Google Apps, mostly for the email. However, the big roadblock for me is the lack of any sort of shared inbox support (sales@... support@...) that would let multiple salespeople or support reps handle the incoming messages to the shared inbox in a consistent, graceful manner.
Any recommendations for a similar service, or any add-on services to Google Apps that allows this?
I have been searching the web for best practices, but don't see anything that is consistent. If you have an excellent development process that includes successful releases of your product as well as hotfixes/patches and maintenance releases and you use git.
I would love to hear how you use git to accomplish this. Do you use branches, tags, etc? How do you use them? I am looking for details, please.
I have a handful of (content unrelated) sites with decent PRs and I'm considering hosting them all on the same server. I've heard that if you do this, internal linking between two seperate domains on that server may be seen as less "valid" by Google in PageRank terms (since you obviously own both of the sites as they share an IP address).
Anyone have any experience in this? I'd love to save some hosting cash by consolidating, but not at the expense of losing the ability to link my sites together powerfully.
Guess the title kind of says it all, I know there have been a few of these questions before and I have tirelessly tried to do this research but have had very little luck.
Essentially I love Google Reader and gears for offline viewing but more and more blogs are referring to diagrams and pictures in their articles and if I'm on a plane, I am not able to see any of these since they are not downloaded during offline mode.
Any RSS readers out there that are?
Is there an application like Wubi for other Linux distributions?
More specifically, I'd love to install Fedora without a dedicated partition or changing my bootloader.
I have two young kids who have gotten rather computer saavy. They love playing their games, especially when it allows them to print out awards or coloring pages.
Unfortunately this means that in the time it takes to refresh my cup of coffee, they can easily drop a 10 page document into the printer queue, and my printer ink runs out rather fast.
How would I setup some kind of password protection on the printing, so that I would have to do some kind of final approval before they get their printouts?
I keep seeing this "..reading.." process in my Apache Server Status, does anyone know what this is from?
It seems when the server performance is degrading, I see a few of these, I would love to know what they mean and how (if possible) to prevent it.
The servers (3 web servers) are running RHEL and are hosting a PHP/MySQL application.
My daughter is about to head off to college in the fall. I love her dearly, but I have low confidence that she won't misplace her laptop in the first week!
Does anyone know any good options for insuring her laptop?
Other issues like data protection and recovery will be separate questions I think - but suggestions welcome.
Thanks!
