joining a Leopard Machine to an active directory domain.

http://lists.apple.com/archives/Augd/2007/Nov/msg00033.html

1.  Rename the AD domain to something else instead of .local
(.internal, or .edu, or .net or .org). If
2.  Stop the daemon Bonjour from running on OSX Leopard. You can do
this with an application called iServeBox, which is a free open source
utility to manage daemons in OSX. You can get the application from
here: http://www.hanynet.com/iservebox/index.html
I turned off the Bonjour daemon. Then i proceeded with the following
steps to add the imac to the domain:

1. Go to the Directory Utility ‐> /Applications/Utilities/
2. Click the Advanced Settings Button ‐> Buttons should appear on the top
3. Click Services
4. Make sure you're authenticated to makes changes ‐> click the lock and login
5. Double‐click the Active Directory
6. type in your domain in "Active Directory Domain" ‐> ex.
(mydomain.com) watch out if your domain ends with .local opposed to
.com or .net, you need to disable bonjour if it ends with .local.
7. click bind
8. enter in username and password ‐> just the username NOT
email@hidden or MYDOMAIN\User
9. Click ok.

Keyboard Reassignments:

         ESC[#;#;...p           Keyboard reassignment. The first ASCII
         or ESC["string"p       code defines which code is to be
         or ESC[#;"string";#;   changed. The remaining codes define
            #;"string";#p       what it is to be changed to.

   E.g. Reassign the Q and q keys to the A and a keys (and vice versa).

         ESC [65;81p                    A becomes Q
         ESC [97;113p                   a becomes q
         ESC [81;65p                    Q becomes A
         ESC [113;97p                   q becomes a

         E.g. Reassign the F10 key to a DIR command.

         ESC [0;68;"dir";13p       The 0;68 is the extended ASCII code
                                   for the F10 key and 13 is the ASCII
                                   code for a carriage return.

Hosts file or LMHosts file, what’s the difference?

from: http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=807
An LMHOSTS file specifies the NetBIOS computer name and IP address mappings; a HOSTS file specifies the DNS name and IP address. On a local computer, the HOSTS file (used by Windows Sockets applications to find TCP/IP host names) and LMHOSTS file (used by NetBIOS over TCP/IP to find NetBIOS computer names) can be used to list known IP addresses mapped with corresponding computer names. LMHOSTS is used for name resolution in Windows 95 for internetworks where WINS is not available.
·    The HOSTS file is used as a local DNS equivalent to resolve host names to IP addresses.
·    The LMHOSTS file is used as a local WINS equivalent to resolve NetBIOS computer names to IP addresses.
To take advantage of HOSTS or LMHOSTS, DNS must be enabled on the computer.
Sample versions of LMHOSTS and HOSTS files are added to the Windows NT \systemroot\System32\drivers\Etc directory when you install Microsoft TCP/IP.

Conficker B uses a different set of sites to query its external-facing IP address www.getmyip.org, www.whatsmyipaddress.com, www.whatismyip.org, checkip.dyndns.org.  It does not download the fraudware Antivirus XP software that version A attempts to download.   Conficker's propagation methods vary among A and B and are described in Section <a href="http://mtc.sri.com/Conficker/#Propagation">Conficker Propagation</a>.  Furthermore, a recent analysis by Symantec has uncovered that the GeoIP file is directly embedded in the Conficker B binary as a compressed RAR (Roshal archive) file encrypted using RC4 [<a href="http://mtc.sri.com/Conficker/ref-11">11</a>].

vmdk to vdi lotec

Vorchak said:
I personally prefer the speed of VirtualBox, but so far I have encountered many issues with USB and sound drivers.
BTW, to convert from vmdk to vdi use Gparted: <a href="http://gparted.sourceforge.net/" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">http://gparted.sourceforge.net/</a>
1-Get the iso image, and mount it in the VM or VB as a cdrom. 2-Create a new VDI disk and add as secondary in VMware 3-Boot VM from CDROM 4-Use Gparted to reduce the size of the partition in vmdk disk if necessary 5-Copy partition from vmdk disk to vdi disk 6-Shutdown VM and change vdi to primary disk

• CASCADE: Delete or update the row from the parent table and automatically delete or update the matching rows in the child table. ON DELETE CASCADE is supported starting from MySQL 3.23.50 and ON UPDATE CASCADE is supported starting from 4.0.8. Between two tables, you should not define several ON UPDATE CASCADE clauses that act on the same column in the parent table or in the child table.
• SET NULL: Delete or update the row from the parent table and set the foreign key column or columns in the child table to NULL. This is valid only if the foreign key columns do not have the NOT NULL qualifier specified. ON DELETE SET NULL is available starting from MySQL 3.23.50 and ON UPDATE SET NULL is available starting from 4.0.8.  If you specify a SET NULL action, make sure that you have not declared the columns in the child table as NOT NULL.
• NO ACTION: In standard sQL, NO ACTION means no action in the sense that an attempt to delete or update a primary key value will not be allowed to proceed if there is a related foreign key value in the referenced table. Starting from 4.0.18 InnoDB rejects the delete or update operation for the parent table.
• RESTRICT: Rejects the delete or update operation for the parent table. NO ACTION and RESTRICT are the same as omitting the ON DELETE or ON UPDATE clause. (Some database systems have deferred checks, and NO ACTION is a deferred check. In MySQL, foreign key constraints are checked immediately, so NO ACTION and RESTRICT are the same.)
• SET DEFAULT: This action is recognized by the parser, but InnoDB rejects table definitions containing ON DELETE SET DEFAULT or ON UPDATE SET DEFAULT clauses.

sfc

I don't see what private folders has to do with this. Do you have a link to
your source of info or is this just more wrong answers? I would suggest the
op do: start, run, type in: sfc /scannow, hit ok.
This will fix/replace any corrupted system files.

creating shortcuts from WSH with javascript

made a little function in jscript (run with wsh or csh cscript wscript) to create windows shortcuts automatically to the desktop,...

might still be a bug in it for targetpath, but it works kinda good already ;)

//createShortCut ("shortcutname","c:\windows\notepad.exe","c:\temp\somefile.txt","c:\temp")

function createShortCut(name , target, args, wdir) {

var shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");

var dpath = shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");

var short = shell.CreateShortcut(dpath + "\\" + name + ".lnk");

short.TargetPath = '"'+target+'" '+args;

short.WorkingDirectory = wdir;

short.WindowStyle = 0;

short.IconLocation = target+",0";

return(short.Save());

}

The following special folders are available:

Many point updates would overwrite the included version of PEAR with an older, and perhaps insecure version. Sadly, Apple has fixed this by not including PEAR at all in their OS. This is a big inconvenience for people wanting to use Apple’s default version of PHP, versus a third party distribution. So, lets get PEAR installed. Type the following in the terminal window to download the PEAR installer:

curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear > go-pear.php

Now open up `java-jni/Makefile` and around line 10, change "libclearsilver-jni.so" to "libclearsilver-jni.jnilib" in the NEO_UTIL_SO line. Do your normal make process and you should be greeted with working Java bindings.

For new Sysadmins/IT Types

It occurs to me that many of you are sometimes surprised or dismayed when you discover that rather than being a respected tech worker, doing smart, hard things that few others can, that you're really treated like some kind of mutant cop/janitor/slaughterhouse cleaner lovechild.
"Why? Why do all the other people hate me?"
They don't.
But the only way to explain it is via allegory. Pay attention, because I am about to explain the secret to the IT version of Life, The Universe, and Everything, and you wouldn't want to fuck it all up.
When I was in my first IT job, fresh out of the Air Force, I had a...dismaying encounter with a user, who, upon realizing that I would actually need more than zero time to fix her computer, said, as kind as could be; Perhaps you should find someone who knows what they're doing I of course was a bit taken aback by this, and asked my boss, Jack, what the hell was that all about. He chuckled, in that fucking annoying "Oh, you young lads, how funny you are" way that our elders have, and said: "Being in IT is kind of like being a doctor with a patient who complains that "It hurts when I stick a fork in my eye." We, of course, being the logical sort, reply back, in all sincerity and earnestness, "Well, you should stop sticking a fork in your eye then." The user, or patient will then look at us like we really are the idiots they believe us to be and say: "No, you don't understand...I want you to make it stop hurting.""
I looked at Jack for a minute, like he was fucking crazy, until he said, "The whole problem with IT is that some days, we just can't make the fork not hurt, and that's always going to be our fault. It's why so many IT people drink like fish." See, you're never going to get them to stop sticking the fork in their eyes. Never. Stop trying, it's fantasy. Along those lines, they're never going to treat you like more than a glorified janicopter, where your only useful function is to STFU and bail them out of that jail they worked so hard to get themselves into.

That’s pretty much it.  What this says is that the web page in question is owned by the owner ofhttp://samruby.myopenid.com/ and furthermore http://www.myopenid.com/servermay be used to verify ownership of http://samruby.myopenid.com/.

When done, feel free to check your setup.  You may find that the autodiscovery features of most OpenID libraries are not as robust as those for feed autodiscovery.  Never fear, there is a solution for this later in this post.The good news is that it is easy.  You don’t need any of these libraries.  Simply download phpMyID.  Place the one php file in on your web server and modify two lines

Ask /.: Best DIY Plectrum?

[ Edit | Delete | #211215 ]

Monday September 08, @04:13PM

It is statistically proven [citation needed] that the #1 instrument played by programmers is still the guitar. With a generalization like that, where else would I ask a question about DIY guitar pick manufacturing than here on slashdot? (FIY: a guitar pick or plectrum is the little plasticky thingy guitar players occasionally hold while playing the guitar)
After yet another hour long strip search of my flat, moving furniture, removing carpets, checking every crevice, cavity and hole for one of the, undoubtedly thousands, picks this place seems so eager to swallow mysteriously. Usually within 12 hours of purchasing them. Yet again, I take scissors, a hotel door card and some duct tape and fabricate me something that looks and feels,... anything but like a pick.
If only I knew of some freely available never ending source of plectrum material out there. Would it be possible to pull of some harmonics from the edge of a pine corn? Tried it, didn't work. Started coming apart after 3.4 strums,...
Dear /. what's the best you have come up with to construct a pick in a pinch?

Funny, I have just been marked a spam site, :) lol take that as a welcome to the Blogosphere :D

. One of the best things about the Chrome software launch was Scott McCloud's clever and thorough
that explains Chrome technical details to journalists and bloggers. Chrome's got a ways to go to

chrome

One of the more troubling things about Google Chrome is something I found in its Terms of Service agreement (which most people click through without reading before downloading Chrome)."17. Advertisements 17.1 Some of the Services are supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions. These advertisements may be targeted to the content of information stored on the Services, queries made through the Services or other information. 17.2 The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Google on the Services are subject to change without specific notice to you. 17.3 In consideration for Google granting you access to and use of the Services, you agree that Google may place such advertising on the Services." Google is an advertising company, and they already collect a huge amount of personal data on everyone to target ads at us. Being the browser vendor will give them that much more personal and behavioral data, which will be even more worrisome if the Chrome browser evolves into a cloud operating system.
