I just finished writing and reviewing my masters thesis; however, I was wondering if there is an advanced grammar/style tool that'll go through my thesis and identify anything I've missed
I was wondering if there is a way to access a deeply nested shared networked Windows folder on Mac (Lion) like you can on windows with the Run box. say I know the folder I want is on the computer Homer-PC, the G drive, the folder ABC/234/CDE
on Windows I can Win+R then \Homer-PC\G\ABC\234\CDE return and it should open that folder directly,
Is there something similar on the Mac? Or is there some tiny apps that I can use to do that? Thank You
Hi all,
I couldn't find a duplicate question, but I was wondering what the differences are between different read/write speeds for Bluray drive. I'm planning on buying one for a build but don't know if I can cheap out on getting a Bluray 2x drive or spend more money for a quality Bluray 8x drive. Will I just experience more lag/buffering times for Bluray discs on a 2x and none for a 6x or 8x?
Thanks in advance.
I recently purchased a nice asus 1000HE, and installed Ubuntu NBR. However, I'm pretty disappointed with how sluggish it feels. I'm wondering if I maybe need to install a closed-source graphics driver - it feels similar to how my work laptop performed before I installed the restricted nvidia driver on that machine.
[EDIT]
In case it's any use:
pete@eliza:~$ uname -a
Linux eliza 2.6.28-12-netbook-eeepc #43 SMP Mon Apr 27 16:06:05 MDT 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
So I was booting up my box and for some odd reason my BIOS had lost settings (again), thus resetting everything to defaults. I was digging around making sure things were configured to my liking and noticed the option to enable ACPI 2.0 support. It was disabled by default but I was wondering: Do I need ACPI 2.0 support?
Motherboard is ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe.
I should also note that I primarily use Windows-7.
I have a USB webcam, and I'm wondering if theres a box that will let me plug the webcam in and access it over wifi like this: http://www.belkin.com/networkusbhub/ except wireless.
I am after something that will monitor cpu/mem usage for different apache sites. I have a web server that runs multiple websites (on different domains) and wondering if there is a tool (hopefully web-base that can send email alerts) that will show the cpu and memory usage for each website.
"Ending company IT Admin relationship" has a good checklist for taking over an existing IT system, but I'm wondering as it relates to Linux:
What is the most effective way to assess the scope of existing custom configurations, installs, scripts, etc done?
Is there any software that will check if the kernel, system files, etc mirror the default files for the version installed?
At this point I don't know what distro of Linux the server (though using Netcraft I do know the server appears to be Linux) -- so it's possible without knowing that information that this would be a hard question to answer.
I'm running the OneNote 2010 beta and wondering if there is a way to edit the default styles?
If you change the default font, the styles wont be changed. Is there any template, registry key or file that allows for the styles to modified?
I have a MySQL database that I'm able to query as a Linked Server through SQL Server Mgt Studio. I'm wondering if it's possible to create a backup task in Studio that will backup the MySQL DB, so that I could schedule automated backups. Is this possible?
Hi.
I'm trying to delete old calendar items (I have a few years' worth) in Outlook and was wondering if there was a way to delete only non-recurring items as I need the recurring events for the future.
I tried View Arrange by Current view Category and figured that I could manually check and delete any calendar items by hand. Is there a more efficient way to do this without having to actually script code?
Thanks for your time!
Hi there,
I am a beginner at python so please excuse me for silly comments or rookie mistakes that i make. I was trying to install py2app 0.5.2 and i hit an error:
$Best match: altgraph 0.7.1

I was wondering what the solution to this problem is?
Hi there!
I'm wondering if it is possible to have a set of SQLdb servers to which data is written and have them replicate, avoiding conflicting information.
I imagine that a Master/Slave structure would be mandatory, I would like to know if a system where servers have no hierarchy could support replication.
Currently I'm using MySQL, but I would be happy to move to another database if needed.
Any ideas? :)
Hello,, i have the Samsung smx-f30bp and am wondering do you need to convert the files before burning onto disc? I tried just burning straight to a disc using their Cyberlink Mediashow, but this doesn't seem to work on the DVD player....What do i do?????
I was wondering if anyone has an alternative site to scopus in terms of its research database, advanced and awesome search features, citations, comments/reviews, and provide abstracts. It'll be also neat if it can link to the actual paper's site as well
I'm using kvm and qemu to run a windows virtual machine, but I'm trying to get internet on that machine. I've been reading about all this bridging and stuff that is done to do that, but I was wondering if there was a simpler way, to just forward my internet connection (since I'm connected on the host machine) through qemu to the guest operating system. Is this possible? Thanks
I was wondering if it is possible to convert a dvd to a flash application which I could then embed in a website. What I am looking for is not simply ripping the video, but something that encodes the menus and the navigation of the dvd, as well, and the result is an interactive flash application.
Thanks!
Edit: actually I have the original iDVD project, as well. I would like to turn it into a flash application...
Just wondering, have you ever made anything useful with a RAM disk in production? I wonder if the performance benefit they afford possibly outweighs their temporary nature in a specific circumstance.
I've only ever used one once, and it wasn't for performance. It was when I needed some writable disk space on a server showing hard drive errors – it gave just enough space for me to install the 3ware RAID utility to identify the dodgy disk.
How have you used a RAM disk in production?
Hi, I'm looking for a light, fast hash/checksum calculator (eg. MD5, SHA1, etc.). I've been using HashCalc and it works fine enough, but I was wondering if there was something better. When downloading .ISOs from MS BizSpark, I've found that it's essential to check the SHA1, and I'm sure that other people have found the same... So what's the defacto, light, fast, simple app that does the job? :)
Thanks for any recommendations.
Just wondering if there is good alternative to Amazon's S3 service? I like S3 but the bandwidth cost is high. I looked at CouldFiles from Rackspace but the cost is even higher.
I don't mind prepaying or having monthly payment in order to reduce the bandwidth cost greatly.
Thank you for any help
I'm investigating HAProxy as a possible replacement for F5.
F5 is capable of persisting a session based on a response header value:
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
set session [HTTP::header X-Session]
if {$session ne ""} {
persist add uie $session
}
}
and then route all subsequent requests which contain the same session ID in a header, query parameter, path, etc. to the same machine, eg:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set session [findstr [HTTP::path] "/session/" 9 /
if {$session} {
persist uie $session
}
}
I'm wondering if this is even possible to do with HAProxy?
Hi, I was wondering what kind of folders that by default (system folders such as /var, /tmp, etc.) Linux has that Mac OS X doesn't. I'm pretty sure that some of these in Mac OS X are there but are hidden, is this correct?
Thanks in advance!
Ok, so at work I use Ubuntu and its create for copying a files from one folder to another folder without having two finder windows open.
What I would like is to have that function on my mac and I am wondering if anyone knows how to do this.
I understand Ubuntu is Linux and Mac well its from Linux has all the features of Linux but is a mac. The feature may not be there but if it is, it would help me alot.
As I am always moving files around servers and systems
Making presentation using PowerPoint is kind of too simple, it's possible to make nice presentations but I would like do a step forward. I'm wondering how people make animations like this one: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150210521510484 ?
A friend of mine likes ripping DVDs to his Mac. He’s currently on an ancient machine, and is about to upgrade to either a MacBook Pro or an iMac.
Just wondering if any of the Mac DVD ripping software will rip faster on the iMac (thanks to its four cores), as opposed to the MacBook Pro (a measly two cores)? Or is DVD ripping not that sort of task?
