  1. I havent' run the code, but inspect the contents of $userdata first to see if you're testing the correct properties.
  2. I bet the permissions aren't matching As mk13r suggests, compare the results of ls -l on the two directories to see if there are permissions problems. Check for unresolved names (i.e. large numbers instead of names of owner and group).
  3. Are you using xcopy with the /N switch? This will force 8.3 filenames. Robocopy is far better in every respect. Robocopy "Robust File Copy" | SS64.com
  4. Exhibit 'M', m'lud. Microsoft researcher's 1991 video could torpedo Apple's key 'slide to unlock' patent - GeekWire However, overturning a patent on prior art, and having to pay because you infringe that same patent are two different matters.
  5. Just make a single reverse lookup zone 122.10.in-addr.arpa. That's all you need.
  6. It's a bit old skool, but should work. COUNTER=1 for f in /home/user/Desktop/list/* do PREFIX= if [ $COUNTER -lt 100 ]; then PREFIX=0; fi if [ $COUNTER -lt 10 ]; then PREFIX=00; fi #should use an else but meh... echo $PREFIX echo $PREFIX$COUNTER mkdir /home/user/Desktop/Result/Item$PREFIX$COUNTER mv $f /home/user/Desktop/Result/Item$PREFIX$COUNTER let COUNTER=COUNTER+1 done
  7. Three has a lot of fans. It's all down to the signal though. You spend most of your time at home and work, so you must have good coverage here. I phone Virgin yesterday, and after a friendly chat with their package people they moved me to a 150 mins deal (this is plenty for me, for the following reason) free VM to VM calls (all my family are on VM), and unlimited data for £10/month. Suits me. I couldn't find this deal on the web, you must have to ask for it. It's called a 'VM10' bundle.
  8. another on-line one Execute Python Script Online
  9. Have you though about a Three mobile One Plan? Seriously, a lot of people use this as a replacement for crummy DSL. If your DSL circuit is grim, changing operators might not help.
  10. The retentions team know all the deals available. They know what's available in your area. They knew I couldn't get BT Fibre, even though BT's website says it's in my area. Don't BS them, they will know. Have a plan that's feasible and you will get a result. Explain your plan, they will rubbish it, they're trained to do that. I cancelled, I was prepared to go through with my plan, but they called me back 4 days later with an acceptable offer. Be aware that if you're after broadband-only, this is a much tougher deal as they want to bundle their phone line. Broadband is the only real commodity of value these days.
  11. £19.50 per month for 30M (soon to be 50M) broadband only - no phone or TV.
  12. Beijing had it sussed a while back, with nine million bicycles if Katie Melua was on the money, but now it's all gone to hell in a variety of petrol-driven carts. It's a shame that car-clogged roads are seen as a sign of progress, http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-11/11/content_390685.htm The Bicycle as Symbol of China's Transformation - Sherley Wetherhold - The Atlantic Car-Clogged Chinese Cities Encourage a Return to Bicycles - Scientific American The Nation: China: A Kingdom Of Bicycles No Longer : NPR
  13. I see what you did there. Finding information is an exercise in frustration and often a waste of time. If it could be narrowed down to a particular haystack, that would be something at least. I mean, global search, site search, KB search, file search, documentation search, news searches..... I could go on. They should have a meta search - a search of searches. Or perhaps even something that's well designed. We live in hope.
  14. I disagree with much of the article. The author brings in the car analogy: "I’ve owned a car for most of my adult life and they’re a mystery to me. As such I am dependent on salesmen to tell me which one to buy, mechanics to tell me what’s wrong and then fix it for me ". He's just shunting his ignorance to a different subject. I can imagine him going to a garage with a fault and the mechanic basically taking the p*** because he doesn't know that the coil pack has triggered a shutdown in the ECU!!!! What an idiot for not knowing this!!! OMG Don't you know what a coil pack does?! To most people, a computer is a tool to do stuff, whether to use ebay or watch videos. Some use it for business purposes, but they still don't care how it works as long as it lets them perform their tasks. To folk like us, it is our job to keep on top of such things. We are the mechanics.
  15. I found this on their sister product, Lucidchart. So, hopefully, Lucidpress will operate in the same way and be free to educational establishments. Fingers crossed.
  16. yes it is. (Monty Python fans are smiling)
  17. Quite. You come for the technical advice, but stay for the arguments.
  18. I had the Bitwig email this morning! I'll check it over the weekend. I'm using MusE on Ubuntu at the mo as this suits what I do. Its audio routing is extremely flexible and the software is very nimble.
  19. I remember reading and being impressed by the Finnish approach. however, there are many myths in circulation. Read the illuminating responses (by Finns) at the bottom of this article. The Finland Phenomenon: Inside the World's Most Surprising School System - THE DAILY RIFF - Be Smarter. About Education.
  20. I didn't realise it wasn't going to be totally free forever. I hope the free version will be of use. A good result would be for Google to buy the company and development team and put this software into their Google Apps suite. Google Apps doesn’t have a strong DTP app. Google Draw is passable as long as your requirements are basic, but its limitations show up with complex layouts. LucidPress is such a strong product, it could easily compete with many DTP programs.
  21. Would a simple 'subst' work? How to map a drive letter to Google Drive in Windows | How To - CNET
  22. You might want to add a https line - an otherwise exact copy of the line as it still uses the same http proxy. Acquire::http::Proxy "http://[proxy goes here]:[Port here]"; Acquire::https::Proxy "http://[proxy goes here]:[Port here]";
  23. Day and Night World Map I was a bit late, I should have snapped it an hour ago. The sun is directly over the equator, splitting the world into day and night along its longitudinal lines. You won't see this again until the next equinox.
  24. Just tested it with a friend, the collaboration bit is crazy - you can see objects being moved around and edited in real time. I'm using Linux, he's using a Mac. It might even work in IE. I'm impressed.
