Is there a way to change the block/cluster size when formatting a disk using unattend.xml & Windows Deployment Services? It keeps defaulting to 1024k, and I need something smaller.
I'm looking for a tool that will allow multiple panels to be visible while looking at the local file system, so that I can copy/move files easily between the panels.
I have been using 7-zip, since you can view 2 panels at once, but I feels as if there is something better out there.
What are the top recommendations?

I'm an Emacs/Mac user trapped on Windows at work and I often type Control-W from muscle memory to delete a word and thus by mistake kill the entire window, including everything that I was working on. This a particularly egregious problem for Console2 as I run GNU Screen and am often doing many things at once.
Is there any way to completely disable Control-W or remap it to something that is far harder to type?
Thanks!
I have downloaded this vista gadget
http://arsecandle.org/twadget/2007/08/version_1300_i_havent_forgotte.html
I double clicked to install, it seems ok. But when adding a new gadget I can't see it in the list of available gadget.
I'm newbie to gadget though so I must have done something wrong :)
What free software, preferably open source, will allow me to rotate the output to my widescreen monitor by 90 degrees? I had some software that came with my monitor to do this, called magiv view or something.. but it conflicted with tortoise svn in the context menu so I had to stop using it. Is there anything else that I can use or do?

I'm using iCal to manage my calendar on an Exchange server. In outlook, when I accepted or declined a meeting, I was able to add a comment telling the sender why I couldn't make the meeting. With iCal, it just rudely declines the meeting with no ability to add a comment.
Am I missing something?
I've followed the deployment instructions on:

What are some good ways to move file from a development site on a linux server to another linux server (which would be production). I will be working from a Vista system. Basically, I'd like to just doubleclick a batch file or something along those lines to initiate the copy. Thanks!
All the BIOS beeps are solid, everything is looking good. I have built computers in the past and everything looks solid with this installation.
Is there something that I need to do to get my screen to work now?
No BIOS beeps, good install, NVidia motherboard 780i and graphics card, any ideas?
This is probably dead easy, but is there a simple way to write a command once in the console, and have it executed n times, where n is specified at runtime? Something like this:
repeat 100 echo hello
Does such command exist (assume typical Linux installation)?
Or would I write to do some kind of loop in bash?
To be able to do detailed user tracking (JS interaction, not just link logs) while preserving privacy, I'm looking forsomething like Google Analytics that stores all the data locally.
Hi.
I’m looking to build a multi-purpose home development server.
In this post, I’m looking to outline what I want from such a system, and the ‘why’s of it, to some limited extent,
and finally, some rudiments of how I’m looking to go about that.
I’m mostly a developer, with just about some sysadmin familiarity.
So, please excuse, correct me, and suggest on any ignorance which would come across in the following ;-)
It will serve the following goals to start with:-
NAS (Looking at using ZFS)
Source control repo e.g Git server
Database e.g MySQL server
Continuous Integration e.g Hudson
server
Other stuff as and when they come up
e.g RabbitMQ etc
A development sandbox to play around
with new stuff
I want to achieve a high uptime for 2-5 as much as possible. They should run as independent services and with minimal maintenance. (e.g TurnKey Linux appliances)
I’m thinking of running them as individual Xen DomUs.
Then, maybe the NAS can be a Dom0 and 6 can be another DomU.
The User for this would be mostly me. I can see 2-4 being sometimes used by 2-3 users, but that would be infrequent.
I’m looking for a repeatable setup.
Ideally I’d like to automate this setup through Chef or Puppet or something similar.
Once everything runs, I want to be able to ssh/screen/tmux into 1-6 from my laptop or any other computer on the LAN/on-the-go.
My queries are:-
Is putting 1-6, all of them on a
single box, a good idea? If so, what
kind of hardware should I be looking
at, for a low-cost, low-power setup?
Although not at present, but in
future I might be looking at adding
audio/media servers to the mix.
Would that impact the answers to 1?
I have an old Pentium 3 and 810e
motherboard combination. Is there
any way I could put it to use?
I had a look at the Sheevaplug, and
was wondering if I could split off
the NAS on its own using that. But
ruled it out preliminarily due to
its reported heating issues. Is it
something i should still consider?
Thanks in advance
Have posted this question previously on SuperUser but no responses yet. So was wondering if this is a more apt forum for this.
Some weeks ago I started having problems with my internet connection, it was extremely slow and suddently some websites (specifically gmail, facebook, youtube and twitter) started failing to connect, while the rest connect normally. Some days after, those same websites started showing me a message in portuguese: "Nova atualização disponível" whenever I tried to connect and a .exe file started downloading ("internet_update.exe" or something like that).
That's when I freaked out! It was definitely a virus or something like that, but it was really weird because I never had a problem like that (I run Linux). So I turned on my old PC (running Windows XP) and it turned out it had the same problem! the same message was showed whenever I tried to connect one of those specific websites, while the rest loaded without problems. Even in my Android smarthphone the same message was showed.
So it was obvious that the problem was not in a particular machine but in the router itself. So I started googling and I found some information, unfortunately I only found some in spanish, so I will make you a short summary:
It is a new banking trojan developed specifically to infect and collect information from Brasilian banks. Apparently now it has expanded to Argentina and Peru.
So how does it work? It spreads through social networks (videos, links, ...) and then it "takes control" of your internet connection by changing the values of your DNSs. More specifically, it changes the Primary DNS to one of this IPs: 108.170.13.38, 66.7.216.122 or 63.143.43.154 and the Secondary DNS to 8.8.8.8, this secondary DNS is actually the Google Public DNS, and it is configured this way so that your internet connection continue working properly and the user does not notice anything.
The important part here is that because no download or install has been made in your machine, no antivirus will notice any change. After your DNSs have been changed, the trojan controls every single website you connect to and this way they steal your bank information.
So after reading about this I accesed to my router and I restored my Primary and Secondary DNSs to their proper values, but one day after I had the same problem again.
This is actually a 50% warning post - 50% help me! post.
So, here comes the question: Is there any possible way to prevent my DNSs of being changed?
I have installed and configured policyd 2.0.8 according to INSTALL document in installation directory. My webui works fine, no problem reported in logs.
And then I setup some quotas on Default policy.
Quota:
- Policy: Default
- Name: Sending quota
- Track: SenderIP:/24
- Period: 3600
- Verdict: REJECT
- Data:
- Disabled: no
Limits:
- Type: Message count
- Counter limit: 2
- Disabled: no
But, problem is that I'm still able to send as manu messages as I want. Perhaps I missing something?
Is there a way to prevent Windows from going into sleep mode while running a program on the command line or with cygwin? Ideally, I'm hoping forsomething that could be used like:
nosleep myscript.sh
Background
Sometimes I start up long-running jobs like a manual backup or large file transfers and I've found that Windows often goes to sleep before these finish. I'd like to be able to start up the command and prevent sleep mode while the command is running, but have it automatically work again once the command has completed.
I have a batch script using Windows shell commands to perform several administrative actions.
The script is running great on Windows 7 but when i try launching it from Python 2.6 nothing happens:
import os
a = os.popen("somebatchfile.bat")
I assume that this is because the bat file uses several commands that require an administrative privileges but i don't want to prompt to a password using runas.exe or embedding the password within the code.
Is there any way to make UAC prompt for user approval or something?
I want something that will:
play mp3s
fit in my pocket
have a 3.5mm audio jack
let me write software for it
cost $50 max
I guess a cheap mobile phone could satisfy that too. Don't care much for brand names.
Any ideas?
Hi all,
I created a user account in postfix in the form: [email protected].
When I receive emails from that account, in gmail, for example, the senders name is "editor", but I want to show something like "Editor Surname".
Any idea of how to it? Thanks in advance!
This may have been asked before, but I'm wondering whether there is a shortcut for navigating to the enclosing folder in OS X (Snow Leopard)?
I find navigating Finder particularly frustrating since it's hard navigating back to the enclosing folder (especially when you jump to a folder and realize the back button is disabled)...
I'm hoping forsomething other than Command+Up, since that's the key combination I use to navigate Spaces.
I want to use jsmin to minify every js file in a directory, and js files in subfolders as well.
I would want to use the compiled vers of jsmin found here:
