You could set up single Linux server and set permissions for the users using the sudoers files. Enough to work, but restrict their ability to wreck the system. Examples here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-edit-the-sudoers-file-on-ubuntu-and-centos Or, set up a single virtual Linux server, make everyone a superuser and accept that you'll roll back the snapshot to restore to a clean server after they've done their thing (i.e. ruined it).

I've just discovered this, and can't believe that I haven't seen it before. I regularly use SQLite databases, and generally hand code my own queries. This neat Firefox add-on allows full administration, browsing and easy querying of any SQLite databases. I'd go so far as saying this would be a good way of teaching databases, but I'm not a teacher. From Firefox, go to the 'Add-ons' menu and search for 'sqlite manager' https://code.google.com/p/sqlite-manager/wiki/CommonTasks

Nicholab says they need to set up user accounts (edited the post).

I did suggest NanoLinux, but none of these micro-distributions are multi-user. You could set up a single server and allow SSH/Putty control, but unless you use some pretty funky sandboxing, you'll have to give the password for sudo, and all manner of destruction will follow.

Biggest winter storm EVER to wreck Christmas!!! | Benvironment I'm afraid that the Express is suffering from self-induced weather-hyperbole-inflation. It only has itself to blame. I'm waiting for Snowmaggedonpocalypse . That can't be far round the corner, though.

I'm not clear on what you mean by 'count up the top 5 strings', but perhaps this would help: Use the sheet name in the reference. Suppose sheet1 has the values you want to add in c5 to c10 On sheet2, you'd enter =sum(sheet1!c5:sheet1!c10) in the cell's value. If you're renamed your sheets, you'd use their names of course. In LibreOffice, the separator is a dot (.) not a shriek (!)

They say money can't buy you happiness. I'd be pleased to provide empirical testing for that hypothesis.

£143m? That would cover a really good night out. Stats says it's a waste of two quid. The odds of somebody winning it are pretty good, but the odds a particular person (i.e. me) winning is absurdly low. Still.........

That's just theatre - a big visual thing to reassure people. Here's a fascinating interview with the guy who discovered Ebola.

I went to Wikipedia to check Refined sugar doesn't sound very natural to me. Still, I suppose it's better than fructose or that horror HFCS which is currently under the microscope as a leading contributor to obesity.

Advice needed asap. LA advising us to stop using Google
jinnantonnixx replied to edutech4schools's topic in Cloud Services
Let me guess - they're promoting their Exchange services? Close to the mark? Email recall is a trick that works with certain proprietry email systems for email that remains internal, and it cannot be regarded as a get-out-of-a-booboo function. In your case, the email went external so the 'recall' would have been of no use whatsoever. This is a red herring. Gmail has an 'undo' feature - it's actually a buffer that waits for a defined time before really sending it. -
I appreciate Powershell, but I'm not a fan of their syntax. It's object-oriented, but instead of being object-based, the language is verb-based, which I find weird. File handling is fantastically easy. http://www.gegeek.com/documents/cheat_sheets/powershell-basic-cheat-sheet2.pdf I'm still no help, but I suggest you bite the bullet and code it in Powershell.

It's not really an answer to your question, but Powershell is the far superior tool to do these kinds of tasks. Loads of examples out there, this being one. PowerShell: Get-ADComputer to retrieve computer last logon date – part 1 | Oxford SBS Guy

LMMS is open source and free. There's a new version released recently. It's actually very good and has built-in synths and a rather nice sampler. The installation also comes with a usable range of samples. Despite its name, it's cross-platform. Screenshots of LMMS Its strength is in looping, samples and beat creation. It does not record live audio, so if you have real instruments to record, you'll need something else. It's well worth watching a few tutorials on Youtube, as some of the shortcuts and features may not be obvious - e.g. dragging a sample or a synth sound to the beat creation section or the timeline.

My friend used to work for insurance claims (fraud team) and they often sent keys away to a lab for the data to be recovered. These were high-end cars, mind you. If they showed that the key was used to operate the car, the insurance was invalidated. In any case, you'll probably find that keeping your keys safe is an integral clause in your policy. There are exceptions, such as house burglaries, but be careful - you could have some problems if the keys are used to take your car. In the meantime, get a friend to block you in.

Just checking... DNS error?
jinnantonnixx replied to Koldov's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Check your DNS on your Squid server. Try an nslookup or dig from your Linux server to that address, see what the result is. Also check your /etc/squid.conf file, see if there's a line specifying DNS. The line will look like dns_nameservers <> This will cause Squid to ignore system DNS and use the resolvers specified here. Watch out for that. -
