Ok, after reading some more tutorials, I figured out how at least a modification + build of it can be done.I first tried this official debian tutorial, which seems to be too old ( dpatch does not work as described )Than I took a try for this 3rd party tutorial which uses quilt to build the patch and debuild for building the package. It seems to work better.I am now able to build a patch for the package thunar and install it ... here the needed steps:# get some packages, needed to do a build from sourcesudo apt-get install quilt build-essential fakeroot devscripts# get the needed build dependencies of thunarsudo apt-get build-dep thunar# get the sources of thunar (no sudo!)apt-get source thunar# enter the sourcescd thunar-1.2.3# define a patch dir for quiltexport QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches# apply all available thunar patchesquilt push -a# add my own patch ( increase the trailing number in the name ! )quilt new 03_myTestPatch.patch# add files which you are going to modifyquilt add thunar/main.c# modify file ( I just added a comment in my first try, nano is the editor of my choice)# if your editor creates temporary files( e.g. main.c~), make sure to remove them when you finished editingnano thunar/main.c# refresh the patch and de-apply all available patchesquilt refreshquilt pop -a# Add some info into the changelog ( attention, this will make use of your default console-editor, which could be vi )dch -n# build the package ( your patch will be applied )debuild -uc -us# install the package ( version/CPU is OS/system-specific )sudo dpkg -i ../thunar_1.2.3-4.1_amd64.deb.. well I am able to build and test patches now .. however, I still have no idea how to re-build the binaries:debuild cleandebuild -uc -us--> I get the same errors like mentioned above .. clean seems not to be able to remove all files which need to be removed. It seems like this really is a thunar-specific problem.EDIT: Now I know whats wrong. A single folder is somehow missing during the re-build. For now I fixed things by using a script and triggering things by hand instead of using the automated 'debuild':#! /bin/bashcd thunar-1.2.3fakeroot debian/rules cleanfakeroot debian/rules buildmkdir debian/tmp/usr/share/gtk-docfakeroot debian/rules binaryShareImprove this answer

This is not possible without extensive manipulation of Windows internals and you need to get over it.There are moments in daily computer use when it is really important that you make one action before the operating system allows you to do another. To do that, it needs to lock your focus on certain windows. In Windows, control over this behavior is largely left to the developers of the individual programs that you use.Not every developer makes the right decisions when it comes to this topic.I know that this is very frustrating and annoying, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. There are probably many cases throughout your daily life where you're perfectly fine with the focus being moved to a certain UI element or an application requesting that the focus remains locked on it. But most applications are somewhat equal when it comes to deciding who is the lead right now and the system can never be perfect.A while ago I did extensive research on solving this issue once and for all (and failed). The result of my research can be found on the annoyance project page.The project also includes an application that repeatedly tries to grab focus by calling:switch( message ) { case WM_TIMER: if( hWnd != NULL ) { // Start off easy // SetForegroundWindow will not move the window to the foreground, // but it will invoke FlashWindow internally and, thus, show the // taskbar. SetForegroundWindow( hWnd ); // Our application is awesome! It must have your focus! SetActiveWindow( hWnd ); // Flash that button! FlashWindow( hWnd, TRUE ); } break;As we can see from this snippet, my research was also focused on other aspects of user interface behavior I don't like.The way I tried to solve this was to load a DLL into every new process and hook the API calls that cause another windows to be activated.The last part is the easy one, thanks to awesome API hooking libraries out there. I used the very great mhook library:#include "stdafx.h"#include "mhook-2.2/mhook-lib/mhook.h"typedef NTSTATUS( WINAPI* PNT_QUERY_SYSTEM_INFORMATION ) ( __in SYSTEM_INFORMATION_CLASS SystemInformationClass, __inout PVOID SystemInformation, __in ULONG SystemInformationLength, __out_opt PULONG ReturnLength );// OriginalsPNT_QUERY_SYSTEM_INFORMATION OriginalFlashWindow = (PNT_QUERY_SYSTEM_INFORMATION)::GetProcAddress( ::GetModuleHandle( L"user32" ), "FlashWindow" );PNT_QUERY_SYSTEM_INFORMATION OriginalFlashWindowEx = (PNT_QUERY_SYSTEM_INFORMATION)::GetProcAddress( ::GetModuleHandle( L"user32" ), "FlashWindowEx" );PNT_QUERY_SYSTEM_INFORMATION OriginalSetForegroundWindow = (PNT_QUERY_SYSTEM_INFORMATION)::GetProcAddress( ::GetModuleHandle( L"user32" ), "SetForegroundWindow" );// HooksBOOL WINAPIHookedFlashWindow( __in HWND hWnd, __in BOOL bInvert ) { return 0;}BOOL WINAPI HookedFlashWindowEx( __in PFLASHWINFO pfwi ) { return 0;}BOOL WINAPI HookedSetForegroundWindow( __in HWND hWnd ) { // Pretend window was brought to foreground return 1;}BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule, DWORD ul_reason_for_call, LPVOID lpReserved ) { switch( ul_reason_for_call ) { case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH: Mhook_SetHook( (PVOID*)&OriginalFlashWindow, HookedFlashWindow ); Mhook_SetHook( (PVOID*)&OriginalFlashWindowEx, HookedFlashWindowEx ); Mhook_SetHook( (PVOID*)&OriginalSetForegroundWindow, HookedSetForegroundWindow ); break; case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH: Mhook_Unhook( (PVOID*)&OriginalFlashWindow ); Mhook_Unhook( (PVOID*)&OriginalFlashWindowEx ); Mhook_Unhook( (PVOID*)&OriginalSetForegroundWindow ); break; } return TRUE;}From my tests back then, this worked great. Except for the part of loading the DLL into every new process. As one might imagine, that's nothing to take too lightly. I used the AppInit_DLLs approach back then (which is simply not sufficient).Basically, this works great. But I never found the time to write something that properly injects my DLL into new processes. And the time invested in this largely overshadows the annoyance the focus stealing causes me.In addition to the DLL injection problem, there is also a focus-stealing method which I didn't cover in the implementation on Google Code. A co-worker actually did some additional research and covered that method. The problem was discussed on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7430864/windows-7-prevent-application-from-losing-focusShareImprove this answer

In Windows 7, the ForegroundLockTimeout registry entry is no longer checked, you can verify this with Process Monitor. In fact, in Windows 7 they disallow you from changing the foreground window. Go and read about its details, it has even been there since Windows 2000.However, the documentation sucks and they chase each other and find ways around that.So, there is something buggy going on with SetForegroundWindow, or similar API functions...The only way to really do this properly is to make a small application which periodically calls LockSetForegroundWindow, virtually disabling any calls to our buggy API function.If that's not enough (another buggy API call?) you can go even further and do some API monitoring to see what's going on, and then you simply hook the API calls on every process after which you can get rid of any calls that mess up the foreground. However, ironically, this is discouraged by Microsoft...ShareImprove this answer

Given that people rather experience the opposite (for example, I often find demanding Windows to be hidden behind my current window) and that I am yet to see this happen in Windows 7, it would be pretty annoying to write an application but being unable to test it. Furthermore, as Microsoft states this should no longer happen with Windows 7. At best people discovered that it could only switch the keyboard's focus by accident, this API call would fix that but I don't know how to test whether it actually works...

There is an option in TweakUI which does this. It prevents most of the usual tricks dubious software developers employ to force focus on their app.It's an ongoing arms war though, so I don't know if it works for everything.Update: According to EndangeredMassa, TweakUI does not work on Windows 7.ShareImprove this answer

I believe that some confusion may exist, as there are two ways of "stealing focus" : (1) a window coming to the foreground, and (2) the window receiving keystrokes.The problem referred to here is probably the second one, where awindows claims the focus by bringing itself to the foreground - without the user's request or permission.The discussion must split here between XP and 7.Windows XPIn XP there isa registry hack that makes XP work the same as Windows 7 in preventing applications from stealing focus :Use regedit to go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.Double-click on ForegroundLockTimeout and set its value in hexadecimal to 30d40.Press OK and exit regedit.Reboot your PC for the changes to take effect.Windows 7(The discussion below mostly applies to XP as well.)Please understand that there is no way in which Windows can totally block applications from stealing the focus and remain functional.For example, if during a file-copy your anti-virus detected a possible threatand would like to pop-up a window asking you for the action to take, if this window is blockedthen you would never understand why the copy never terminates.In Windows 7 there is only one modification possible to the behavior of Windows itself, which isto use the MS-Windows focus-follows-mouse Registry hacks, where the focus and/or activation goes always to the windows under the cursor. A delay can be added to avoid applications popping up all over the desktop.See this article : Windows 7 - Mouse Hover Makes Window Active - Enable.Otherwise, one must detect and neutralize the guilty program :If this is always the same application that is getting the focus, then this applicationis programmed to take the focus and preventing this may be done by either disabling it from starting with the computer, or use some setting supplied by that application to avoid this behavior.You could use the VBS scriptincluded in VB Code which identifies who's stealing focus, which the author used to identifythe culprit as a "call home" updater for a printer software.A desperate measure when all else fails, and if you have identified this badly-programmed application,is to minimize it and hope that will not then bring itself to the front.A stronger form of minimization is to the tray by using one of the free products listed inBest Free Application Minimizer.Last idea in the order of desperation is to fracture your desktop virtually by using a productsuch as Desktops or Dexpot,and do your work in another desktop than the default.[EDIT]As Microsoft has retired the Archive Gallery, here is the above VB code reproduced :Declare Auto Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As IntegerDeclare Auto Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByRef procid As Integer) As UIntegerPrivate Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.RichTextBox1.AppendText("Starting up at " & Now & vbCrLf) End SubPrivate Sub GoingAway(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Deactivate, Me.LostFocus Dim hwnd As Integer = GetForegroundWindow() ' Note that process_id will be used as a ByRef argument ' and will be changed by GetWindowThreadProcessId Dim process_id As Integer = 1 GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, process_id) If (process_id <> 1) Then Dim appExePath As String = Process.GetProcessById(process_id).MainModule.FileName() Me.RichTextBox1.AppendText("Lost focus at " & Now & " due to " & appExePath & vbCrLf) Else Me.RichTextBox1.AppendText("Lost focus due to unknown cause.")

The correct behavior is to notify the user with a blinking task bar icon (or maybe a balloon pop-up or toaster notification or something). Interrupting the user with a window that intercepts their keystrokes means that they tell the antivirus software to take one action or another at random. Definitely not a good way to do things.
– endolithJun 9, 2012 at 12:101"if this window is blocked then you would never understand why the copy never terminates" That's not true. The correct behavior is to notify the user with a blinking task bar icon... There have been times when I clicked a button or something in a running program that causes a new modal dialog to be created (e.g., open file), but then I switch to another program before the dialog is created. As a result, the dialog is hidden and the other program can not be switched to and the dialog cannot be dismissed. Neither its taskbar button nor Alt-Tab works; only forcing the dialog to the front.
– SynetechJun 12, 2012 at 4:461@Synetech: Sometimes the only solution to the non-front dialog is to kill the task. The focus algorithms in Windows are really lousy.
– harrymcJun 12, 2012 at 6:212@harrymc, I never have to resort to killing one of the apps. I just run my window-manipulating program (WinSpy++ does the trick just great) and hide the window in front, then I can dismiss the stuck-back dialog, then re-show the hidden window. It's not convenient, but it's better than killing either of the processes.
– SynetechJun 12, 2012 at 15:061@harrymc, not really; killing an app and losing stuff just makes more steam, and if it is a modal dialog (that locks the parent window and has no taskbar button), then it won't appear in the Alt+Tab list, and, in my experience, a window that has a modal dialog open does not always (never?) show the modal dialog with Alt+Tab, especially if the dialog never had a change to get focus. :-|

Inspired by Der Hochstapler's answer, I decided to write a DLL injector, that works with both 64 and 32-bit processes and prevents focus stealing on Windows 7 or newer: https://blade.sk/stay-focused/The way it works is it watches for newly created windows (using SetWinEventHook) and injects DLL very similar to Der Hochstapler's one into the window's process if not present already. It unloads the DLLs and restores the original functionality on exit.From my testing, it works very well so far. However, the issue seems to go deeper than just apps calling SetForegroundWindow. For instance when a new window is created, it's automatically brought into foreground, which also interferes with a user typing into another window.To deal with other methods of focus stealing, more testing is required and I'd appreciate any feedback on scenarios where it's happening.edit: Source code now available.ShareImprove this answer

Ghacks has a possible solution:It happens several times a day that some applications steal the focus of the active window by popping up. This can happen for a number of reasons, when I extract files or a transfer finishes for instance. It does not matter most of the time when this happens but sometimes I’m writing an article and it does not only mean that I have to type some words again but also that I lost concentration and have to click to regain focus.The Pro Reviewer website has a tip on how to prevent this from happening. The easiest way of preventing focus stealing is to use Tweak UI which has a setting that is called “Prevent applications from stealing focus”. Checking this option prevents that other applications pop up suddenly and steal the focus of the window you are currently working in.This only works when the application has been minimized before. Instead of stealing the focus it will flash a number of times which can be defined in the same menu in Tweak UI. If you do not want to use Tweak UI you can change the setting in the Windows Registry.Navigate to the Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Control Panel > Desktop and change the ForegroundLockTimeout value to 30d40 (Hexadecimal) or 200000 (Decimal). The key ForeGroundFlashCount defines the amount of flashes of a window to alert the user where 0 means unlimited.ShareImprove this answer

I figured out how to stop the TaskBar from flashing a newly activated target window after you programmatically activate, maximize, and focus the main window of that process from another process. First of all, there are a lot of restrictions on whether this operation will be allowed."The system restricts which processes can set the foreground window. A process can set the foreground window only if one of the following conditions is true:The process is the foreground process.The process was started by the foreground process.The process received the last input event.There is no foreground process.The foreground process is being debugged.The foreground is not locked (see LockSetForegroundWindow).The foreground lock time-out has expired (see SPI_GETFOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT in SystemParametersInfo).No menus are active.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winuser/nf-winuser-allowsetforegroundwindowSo if the controlling process is in the foreground, it can temporarily enable another process to fully steal the foreground by calling AllowSetForegroundWindow with the process id of the target process. Then after that, the target process can call SetForegroundWindow itself, using its own window handle, and it will work.Obviously, this requires some coordination between the two processes, but it does work, and if you're doing this in order to implement a single-instance app which redirects all Explorer-click launches into the existing app instance, then you'll already have an (e.g.) named pipe to coordinate things anyway.ShareImprove this answer

Clonezilla disk image by default images the partition table(s), bootloaders, and all types of partitions. I believe it makes an assumption that the MBR or primary GPT and any boot loader that is not located in its own partition is located within the first 1 MiB on the disk. This is the case by default with all of the disk tools that I've ever heard of or used in both Linux and MS, including software raid.I also believe it makes special effort to copy the backup GPT if it exists from the end of the disk.All partitions are also imaged. If it doesn't understand the partition it just copies the whole thing byte for byte.I'm not sure what options it gives if there is no MBR or GPT, like in the case of ZFS on bare disks or simply corrupt partition tables. I assume there is an option, probably in the advanced section to simply copy the whole disk byte for byte.ShareImprove this answer

If a virus is on your computer at the time any program handles sensitive data, you're hosed.KeePass does as much as it can to protect your passwords from malware, but no solution can be bulletproof; once malware is running on your computer, the machine cannot be trusted. Let's look at some of the security features:Database encryption. Without your keying material (master password and keyfile if you have one), it's not possible to recover the plaintext of the passwords. That means that if a copy of your hard drive is stolen or if you never unlocked the KeePass database, your passwords are safe.Memory protection. KeePass, according to its security page, makes efforts to never leave plaintext in memory. However, when you use a password, the plaintext has to be in memory at least for a short while. Any program running under the same security context as KeePass has access to that memory, and if malware is quick (i.e. designed to do this), it can grab your passwords. Malware running as administrator/root can read (or write!) any process's memory.Alternate desktop. When prompting for the master password, KeePass creates a new desktop and switches your view to it. Normal keyboard hooks installed on the main desktop won't apply to the secure desktop. Again, though, malware running as admin can do anything, including inspecting other desktops or hooking events at a lower level. (Your OS obviously knows what keys are typed.)Plug-in authentication. KeePassRPC requires that plug-ins identify themselves to KeePass. There doesn't, however, appear to be any way to stop malicious programs from talking like a valid client (sending the same authentication responses) but doing bad things with the data it gets. Again, rootkits or malware running as admin could just grab the passwords while their plaintext is in memory.Cryptographic self-tests. When KeePass starts up, it makes sure that encryption functions work correctly by putting some constant data in and verifying the output. That's nice, but sophisticated rootkits would just produce the right results while squirreling the plaintext away.If you did unlock the database while malware was present, you should definitely change your passwords.ShareImprove this answer

IP address slash notation and subnet masks and be confusing, but thanks to online calculators like this, you can easily experiment. This should work:115.93.128.0/17Note the range would be from 115.93.128.1 to 115.93.255.254 since there is no 0 network address and 115.93.255.255 is reserved for the broadcast address.

If partition is there then you can recover it as:Boot windows from DVD or flash drive make sure you are booting the same window version and same architecture like if installed version is windows 8 64bit then flash or DVD must have the same.Go windows install menu but do not click on install now but click repair computer and then go to Troubleshoot option and advance option and then command prompt.On command prompt type bootrec.exe /FixMbr and press enter.Then Type bootrec.exe /FixBoot and press enter.Exit the command prompt and reboot computer.If it recovers the windows efi then fine. If not follow the below process:Type diskpart and press enter.Type listdisk and press enter.Type select disk Type list partition and press enter.Type select partition .Type active and press enter.Close the command prompt and raboot the windows it will bring the winsows up.If it delete the menu of Linux and do not show Linux menu you can add it from windows using easybcd software(If at all needed).ShareImprove this answer

I just had the same problem, and again, no documentation on it online. In my case, turns out Windows 8.1 din't know how to interact with USB in the "Startup options" menu, so not only the keyboard(s), but USB mice and other USB devices were not powered on while in the menu. Two possible solutions,If your BIOS allows for that, enable "Legacy USB support" in BIOS. I disabled that option thinking it's no longer required for modern OSs, but apparently, I was wrongAttach a PS/2 keyboard. This solution is somewhat retro, but might suit someone. Bear in mind that PS/2 is not plug & play (at least officially), so you need to reboot the computer after attaching a PS/2 device. So attach a PS/2 keyboard, reboot, go to Startup Options, reboot, get to Startup menu, use keyboard, done.I hope this helps someone in the futureShareImprove this answer

I don't know if this is the answer, but at least it worked for me after a couple of desperate attempts.First I tried to reboot and press F8 continuously to get into the startup menu. This, for some reason, didn't work at all. I couldn't enter the menu.Eventually I rebooted using the command shutdown /r /o, which reboots and brings up the options menu. This was the same menu as I found in Settings before, so I was afraid it wouldn't work. But I tried it anyway, and this time the menu didn't hang, so I was able to toggle the setting. I was able to install the driver (I still got the warning, but I could override it). And the AVR programmer now works fine.Really weird. I didn't try the steps in my question just once, but quite a lot of times. So it's either a weird coincidence or a weird bug that it now worked after rebooting from the command line.ShareImprove this answer

I believe the type of connection you're trying to use is WPA2 PSK, which is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with Pre-Shared Key.In Windows 7, go to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Manage Wireless Network -> Add -> Manually create a network profile In here, enter your access point's name (SSID, whatever you have setup on your phone). Choose WPA2-Personal as the security type, and choose AES as the encryption type. Type in your password in the Security key box, and you may choose to check Start this connection automatically or Connect even if the network is not broadcasting if you like. Hit next, and your computer should now automatically be tethered to your phone.ShareImprove this answer

Not directly possible in PowerPoint. If you're fairly good with VBA, you could write some code to do the job.If you only need to do this once in a while, it's probably not worth the effort, but if you'll be changing these things regularly, there are a couple of addins that might help.I have an add-in called ShapeStyles that lets you "memorize" the style of one shape then apply it to others and also set the shape's style as "sticky", meaning that when you redefine the style, all of the similarly styled shapes in the whole presentation get set to the new style.The add-in itself is commercial but the free demo allows you to create up to five styles. That might be all you need. http://www.pptools.com/shapestyles/There's also a free Selection Manager add-inhttp://www.pptools.com/FAQ00135.htmIt lets you select any number of shapes then save the selection as a named selection, one you can recall (ie, re-select) at any time.ShareImprove this answer

Or alternatively, create something like a "cross-slide spanning layer" where you can put things, and then show or hide that "layer"?
– David.PAug 6, 2022 at 15:[email protected] Still not possible, I'm afraid. In fact, you can't select anything across multiple slides. It might be possible to do what you're after with a few custom layouts, though. Put the stuff to be shown on one layout, then remove them from a duplicate layout and assign the appropriate layout to relevant slides.

Here are three approaches (A,B,C) which can be taken:A) Change theme colorsPowerpoint uses "theme colors" which can be easily changed. In most cases this will work, especially if you create your PPT carefully from the beginning.There are 10 basic colors, plus lighter/darker variations of those. If you have used standard colors, go to solution (B).Customize/Change your colors (see also this detailed description to understand more about themes)Go to View -> Slide masterSelect Colors -> customize colors. This opens the "create new theme colors" dialogue. The colours should match those of your current active theme.Now, change the color(s) as needed. Give your theme colors a name such as "MyColors". Please note that this will change the colors both of shapes and text.If you later want to change a specific color, go back to the slide master view, and in the "colors" drop-down right-click on the "MyColors" palette and select "Edit". Re-change the colos(s) as needed.You can also create several theme colors, and switch between them as needed.NOTE: To make all elements of one color "disappear", change that color to the same color as the slide background.B) Search-replace by macroIf solution (A) doesn't work for you, you'll either have to use a third-party plugin, or write a macro. This SU answer has a script for text color replace: it should be fairly easy to adapt it to object color replace.If you need help adapting your macro, ask on stackoverflow.C) Hide/Show objects by Macro - independent from colorSpecifically to answer the Bounty. Taken from this stackoverflow thread.The idea is, that you will create grouped objects on each slide, only for the elements that you want to show / hide.Then, create a macro which shows/hides only the grouped objects in the whole presentation, using the following code:Sub Numbers()Dim sld As SlideFor Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slidessld.Shapes("Shape Group").Visible = msoTriStateToggleNext sldEnd SubShareImprove this answer

Back to the root of the IBM PC which used 8088 microprocessor, separate address rooms were used for RAM and IO. The 8088 processor supported 20 bit addresses when accessing RAM, but used only 16 bit addresses for access IO. There was an extra pin on the processor to signalize whether RAM or IO is addressed. This procedure is called port-mapped I/O and is still being used by actual X64-processors. So the address 0x378 for parallel port does not present an address in RAM.ShareImprove this answer

The processor didnot care about it, it was the BIOS who expected to find parallel port under 0x378.

Let's imagine that a CPU has only 4 pins (bits) to address devices. It means that it can select up to 16 devices, from 0000 to 1111. Now think that RAM adressses are from 0000 to 0111 (8 addresses, very limited RAM), it leaves only other 8 (from 1000 to 1111) for other devices (Hard Disk, Serial Port, USB Port, Ethernet, Wifi,etc).The same thing happens in a very big scale on actual CPUs, they have a space to address all the hardware limited by physical pins on the CPU. When the CPU starts, BIOS recognize the hardware installed and assign address space for each one of them.In older systems, as DOS and Windows 3.1 it was usually established manually by configuration files as autoexec.bat and config.sys or by dip-switches and jumpers directly on the hardware. Modern systems do it dinamically via mechanisms as PCI and PCI Express.ShareImprove this answer

This isn't up to the OS, but the CPU. And the answer varies between CPU families. On x86 (AMD/Intel), the answer is NO. The port example you give is typical for x86 PC's, and you can see from the length (16 bits) that it's not a 32 or 64 bits RAM address. The x86 has special instructions to communicate with IO ports, and these IO instructions know that IO addresses are 16 bits.On ARM chips, which you might find in your phone, IO port addresses are in the same address range as RAM (but obviously at different addresses). An ARM chip uses the same type of instructions to read IO ports and memory, so in both cases you need a 32 bits address.ShareImprove this answer

The error is generated by nVidia display driver. Instead of recovering from a crash, it crashes the whole system bus driver. Since system drivers cannot be user-altered, theres is nothing you can do directly to the driver.You should use a stable, older driver like 332.21 or 325.x. Try to get the driver from your manufacturer's website, to make sure that it is compatible with your device. If you can, try to note the version number (in your case 311.00) and download it directly from the nVidia website not Acer's. OEMs tend to alter/customize drivers.ShareImprove this answer

– thecatlover1996Feb 19, 2015 at 10:43If you are in luck, the new driver did not break anything in windows and things will work fine with the older version.
– OvermindFeb 19, 2015 at 11:02This honestly is horrible advice. The 347 driver branch is stable its been out for more then 3 months only receiving updates for new game releases. Based on a duplicate question, their solution to this problem, was to reinstall the drivers. Others have had to resort to replacing the hardware. If fresh Windows installations have this problem that is a good sign its a hardware issue not a software problem.
– RamhoundFeb 19, 2015 at 12:34Hardware problems are much more unlikely than software problems. As for the 347 series, I do not validate them as stable yet and I do extensive testing with drivers on multiple cards and OSes. There are way too many compatibility issues with other than DX11 games, specially physx related. Do not forget that nVidia drivers are the number one error generator in the post-Vista era.
– OvermindFeb 19, 2015 at 13:29@Overmind - Who says they are the number one error generator? Because I have seen lots of problems with Intel and AMD display drivers also. I still believe using an older display driver to be bad advice.

A DNS service is Domain Name Resolution. A DNS server takes a web URL (e.g. www.google.com) and translates it to an IP address (in Google’s case, 216.58.216.206). A DNS would not change what a website sees as your location.It is theoretically possible that an attacker could pose as a public DNS server via a Man-in-the-Middle attack and redirect legitimate browser requests to lookalike phishing sites or sites that attempt to load malicious scripting and what have you.This would, however, require access to a private network’s configuration or require the victim to be using a public or poorly secured network.If you’re on a public network like many businesses offer, it’s possible, if unlikely, that an attacker is using hardware to imitate the public hotspot to capture data traffic.If this is legitimately concerning you, you can, however, take a few easy steps to protect yourself whilst connected to a public network.Do not preform any sensitive browsing (online banking, ordering things on Amazon, etc) on public networks.When inputting a URL, prefix with https:// to attempt to force the page to load securely. If the network is compromised or the site’s security certificates are invalid, you will be unable to load the page, however.Google Chrome (unsure about Firefox, I doubt IE does this) has a blacklist of reported malware and phishing sites and automatically blocks you from browsing to said pages.There are slightly more advanced steps possible, like using a VPN to secure your public internet connection, but I'm not very familiar with VPN setup.ShareImprove this answer

When I adjust hostnames on machines that already have a hostname set, I do the following. First, I check what the hostname is set to using plain hostname like this:hostnameThen after checking what the current hostname is set to, I change it to something new like this; of course change [new_hostname] to match your new hostname:sudo hostname [new_hostname]On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems I then edit /etc/hostname to set the new hostname:sudo nano /etc/hostnameThat file should simply contain the hostname as you wish it to be; nothing more or less. Then I run the init.d script to make that change active; note this is not always needed on all Debian/Ubuntu-based systems:sudo /etc/init.d/hostname.sh startOn RedHat/CentOS-based systems, the file /etc/sysconfig/network might need to be adjusted. When you open it it might have entries like this:NETWORKING=yesHOSTNAME="my_hostname"GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"GATEWAYDEV="eth0"FORWARD_IPV4="yes"Note this is an example; just pay attention to what the value of HOSTNAME is and change it to match the hostname value you want set.Finally, regardless of Unix flavor, checking and setting the kernel hostname. Running this command will show you what the current kernel hostname setting is:sysctl kernel.hostnameThe output would be something like this:kernel.hostname = my_hostnameNow to change that, just run this command; of course change new_hostname to match whatever new hostname you want it to be set to:sudo sysctl kernel.hostname=new_hostnameAfter all that is done, you might have to change your /etc/hosts file to match the new hostname settings:sudo nano /etc/hostsBut when all of that is done, just logout and then log back into the server. The new hostname should now be set.ShareImprove this answer

When considering compression for small files, keep in Mind the NTFS cluster size of 4K: Files, that are below 4K and can not be compressed enough to fit entirely into the MFT record (i.e. more than a few byte) will use 4K before and after. A file of 7K with a compression rate of less than 1.8 will also use 8K before and after. Text files will benefit most from compression, as they allow for a high compression rate, executables will benefit much less.For a bootable drive, it might be much easier to just leave out some files - do you need notepad.exe and friends? Do you need all locales in boot?EditAs @Goyuix tested, the EFI bootloader (bootmgr.efi) has to remain uncompressed. This is to be expected, as it is not read by Windows, but by the EFI firmware, which knows nothing about compressed files.The same holds true for the classic bootloader (bootmgr), which is read by BIOS, again knowing nothing oof file system compression.Both firmware dialects just read a consecutive length of bytes into memory, then transfer control to them, which would obviously not work, if they are compressed.ShareImprove this answer

Zip, gzip, LZH and other common compression schemes are lossless and reconstitute the file verbatim, so it is safe to compress anything, but as you implied, some files are already compressed, e.g. DOCX, XLSX, JPEG, MP3 and MP4, so you would gain little or nothing for those.

– GoyuixFeb 19, 2015 at 21:17In that case, any encryption is problematical. Boot media, by definition, has to be able to open and install all files. If one arbitrarily compresses a file, whether text (which might be instructions used during deployment), or anything else, how would the installation algorithm "know" that the file must be unpacked? It would be simpler to omit a file you know is not used on your PC, e.g. a foreign driver, though even that might cause a failure.

The OS should be no problem as it is a 386 hardware. You'll probably need 4MB of RAM (likely higher) at an absolute minimum to run Linux, and likely 16MB to run any distribution or kernel with a decent software selection since 2000 or so. If you can't upgrade the RAM you are stuck.Some brief searches seem to suggest this has an 8088 with 512KB or 768KB or RAM, though. Modern Linux won't run on that at all. (You may want to keep an eye on ELKS, the Tandy's NEC CPU is mentioned in the boot/setup.S file.)I did get Linux booted on an old 1995-era "Winbook" laptop via floppy, I believe I used muLinux.rs-232c connectorThe way to "convert" serial to a network connection is PPP. You would need to set up a PPP client on your laptop, and have a pppd running on another Linux/Windows host that can route your ppp connection to your outgoing Internet connection.You can probably still use it as an ssh terminal somehow if you install SSHDOS on it.If anything, put an RS-232 adapter on your Linux system, configure your inittab to spawn a getty on ttyS0 or ttyUSB0 and use a DOS terminal program to access your system.Share

– userMay 28, 2014 at 21:132@ClemensBergmann I really doubt that machine will be able to keep up with a 56 kbit/s data stream on the serial port.

Dial the modem if required.Log in to the Unix box.Use links (or lynx), ftp, PINE, or any other favorite text-mode internet software.For best results watch this while setting it all up.Share

For my first few years on the Internet with a Windows box you'd have the dial-up connection open a terminal window after it dialed the number so you could log in to the server and type ppp at the shell prompt. Then you'd close the terminal and let Windows proceed to negotiate the PPP connection. All so my high-tech Netscape 3.x browser could render frames and tables.

I have a 1400HD and oddly enough do connect it to the internets.The best method is to get a Xircom PE3-10BT ethernet adapter which will connect to the 1400's parallel port. The PE3 has a DOS ODI driver which will let you use a TCP stack like mTCP, WATTCP, PC/TCP, etc. mTCP includes a irc, ftp, telnet and other clients and works well.Next would be to connect a Digi One SP or linux box running tcpser to the 1400's serial port and use it as a virtual modem. Either will emulate a modem connected to com1 letting you use a normal terminal software such as procomm, telix, qmpro on the 1400 to telnet. Share

– PotatoswatterMay 30, 2014 at 9:54Correct, no need to add a "virtual modem" if you were using the Xircom ethernet adapter. I only offered it up because running tcpser on Linux is virtually free vs $50-20 for the Xircom adapter. IMHO the serial port on the 1400 is too slow to be useful. Also the Xircom PE1 (PocketEthernet) was first released in 1988 just a year and some months after the 1400 so it's period correct for this device and does work well.

May I suggest that you try Minix v2.0? It will run on XT hardware like your laptop, although it will probably take some fiddling.Minix 2.0 is reasonably full-featured and there is a contributed PPP driver that will also run on XT-style hardware. You can then use PPP over a serial connection to a properly networked Linux system. Finding an SSH client that will work on Minix with so little memory is more of a challenge, however...Share

– eyoung100May 28, 2014 at 20:111I think that this might actually be the most promising Option. I would start with a "not that authentic"-variant with a newer modem and if I stumble upon an matching modem I would "downgrade" to that. Do you think that drivers might a problem? I have not worked with modems in ages. Do the just talk AT commands over RS232?
– Clemens BergmannMay 28, 2014 at 20:18@ClemensBergmann, You're forgetting something here though. With the limit in RAM(640k + 128k add-in), your not authentic variant must be between 300 baud and the 1200 baud pictured, and must be external, unless the internal slots aren't used. Even internally, the speed can't be over 1200 baud.
– eyoung100May 28, 2014 at 20:2311200 baud and 1200 bits/sec are for all intents and purposes the same. So about 150 bytes/second, give or take. The four hours use time on battery is pretty impressive, though, all considered.

You are not going to run Linux or any multitasking OS, the 8088 simply does not have the MMU required.

I'm fairly certain Windows 3.0 could run just fine on an 8088/8086 (I know it ran on a 286, because I did at one point run it on a 286-equipped PS/2, and I think 3.1 could be made to run in standard mode on such hardware). It's multitasking, albeit cooperatively (not preemptively) multitasking. Not sure if you could cram even Windows 3.0 into 768 kB RAM, though, and even if you can fit Windows into that it won't have the RAM to do much of anything useful; 1.5-2.0 MB RAM is probably a practical minimum. But CPU-wise it should be okay, if you don't need a speed demon.

One option that comes to mind, given that you admit in your question you only really want to use it as a SSH terminal anyway, would be to use a terminal emulator on the Tandy to act as a serial terminal to a more modern computer, connected over RS232.You could still effectively "SSH out" to hosts on the internet although obviously in this case the laptop itself is not actually on the net. But it would definitely be a lot more usable.Share

I have not used computers back then but what seems most authentic is placing a modem on a spare phone line connected to a spare server at work and use a modem at the Tandy to remotely dail in to the server. Do you think that this would be a realistic use case in the 1980s?

Try using a Console server / terminal servers / serial server / device server - different names for the same thing. You can connect to it via your RS-232 port (assuming you get the cable right - you may need to build one) and from there out via ethernet to the internet. But why bother. Its cheaper and more fun to get a Raspberry Pie, have a real linux distro on a modern processor, and if you want to go old school boot it up using the Risc OS or use one of the many available emulators.Share

Unless you're doing this project as a hobby in and of itself, I would hesitate to even try connecting something that old and primitive to a network. It's likely to be far more work than you bargain for, and is very likely to cause system problems. If you're green and don't want to toss a working piece of equipment (I'm that way), a better use for this might be a direct serial connection (null modem?) to a headless server, as a maintenance console in a normally lights-out environment.Share

The modem connects to the motherboard with a 20 pin connector. Remove the internal modem. (It connects to the uart) U can use that connector and connect wifi to it. Then you can simply use a terminal program and some AT commands to connect to the internet wireless. There are many cheap boards that do this. There are bluetooth boards also. You can keep the com port to use for your mouse.Arachne is a very good graphical browser that runs on DOS. No need for linux, Dos 6.22 does it all.Share

I don't know sudosh, it seem very old.First you have to know witch profile to load, is it .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc ? Can you show us your PATH? echo $PATHshould return something, if not, that is why the TAB doesn't work.About the command history, you have to check if you have a .bash_history inside your home directory with the right permission and ownership. Type this command to see if you have an history :historyIf not, check what i told you.It can help me if you can post an ls -l inside your homeShare

I would also like to know what is the typical ("expected") clock drift of standard RTCs found in common PC hardware. The NTP FAQ from www.ntp.org provides some information on the topic:3.3.1.1. How bad is a Frequency Error of 500 PPM? says that a 500 PPM error corresponds to a drift of 43 seconds per day, and "Only poor old mechanical wristwatches are worse."From 3.3.1.2. What is the Frequency Error of a good Clock?:I'm not sure, but but I think a chronometer is allowed to drift mostly by six seconds a day when the temperature doesn't change by more than 15° Celsius from room temperature. That corresponds to a frequency error of 69 PPM.I read about a temperature compensated quartz that should guarantee a clock error of less than 15 seconds per year, but I think they were actually talking about the frequency variation instead of absolute frequency error. In any case that would be 0.47 PPM. As I actually own a wrist watch that should include that quartz, I can state that the absolute frequency error is about 2.78 PPM, or 6 seconds in 25 days.For the Meinberg GPS 167 the frequency error of the free running oven-controlled quartz is specified as 0.5 PPM after one year, or 43 milliseconds per day (roughly 16 seconds per year)8.3.1.1.1. How accurate is the CMOS clock? mentions (typical?) frequency errors in the range of 12 to 17 PPM for one specific machine.Share

Most of my machines are around 20 ppm off, which is about 12 seconds per week. So you're seeing about 5 times the average. That's unusually high, but not so high that it means something is necessarily wrong.Share

SSDs do not, I repeat, do NOT work at the filesystem level!There is no 1:1 correlation between how the filesystem sees things and how the SSD sees things.Feel free to partition the SSD any way you want (assuming each partition is correctly aligned, and a modern OS will handle all this for you); it will NOT hurt anything, it will NOT adversely affect the access times or anything else, and don't worry about doing a ton of writes to the SSD either. They have them so you can write 50 GB of data a day, and it will last 10 years.Responding to Robin Hood's answer,Wear leveling won't have as much free space to play with, because write operations will be spread across a smaller space, so you "could", but not necessarily will wear out that part of the drive faster than you would if the whole drive was a single partition unless you will be performing equivalent wear on the additional partitions (e.g., a dual boot).That is totally wrong. It is impossible to wear out a partition because you read/write to only that partition. This is NOT even remotely how SSDs work.An SSD works at a much lower level access than what the filesystem sees;an SSD works with blocks and pages.In this case, what actually happens is, even if you are writing a ton of data in a specific partition, the filesystem is constrained by the partition, BUT, the SSD is not.The more writes the SSD gets, the more blocks/pages the SSD will be swapping out in order to do wear leveling. It couldn't care less how the filesystem sees things! That means, at one time, the data might reside in a specific page on the SSD, but, another time, it can and will be different. The SSD will keep track of where the data gets shuffled off to, and the filesystem will have no clue where on the SSD the data actually are.To make this even easier: say you write a file on partition 1. The OS tells the filesystem about the storage needs, and the filesystem allocates the "sectors", and then tells the SSD it needs X amount of space. The filesystem sees the file at a Logical Block Address (LBA) of 123 (for example). The SSD makes a note that LBA 123 is using block/page #500 (for example). So, every time the OS needs this specific file, the SSD will have a pointer to the exact page it is using.Now, if we keep writing to the SSD, wear leveling kicks in, and says block/page #500, we can better optimize you at block/page #2300. Now, when the OS requests that same file, and the filesystem asks for LBA 123 again, THIS time, the SSD will return block/page #2300, and NOT #500.Like hard drives nand-flash S.S.D's are sequential access so any data you write/read from the additional partitions will be farther away than it "might" have been if it were written in a single partition, because people usually leave free space in their partitions. This will increase access times for the data that is stored on the additional partitions.No, this is again wrong! Robin Hood is thinking things out in terms of the filesystem, instead of thinking like how exactly a SSD works.Again, there is no way for the filesystem to know how the SSD stores the data.There is no "farther away" here; that is only in the eyes of the filesystem, NOT the actual way a SSD stores information. It is possible for the SSD to have the data spread out in different NAND chips, and the user will not notice any increase in access times. Heck, due to the parallel nature of the NAND, it could even end up being faster than before, but we are talking nanoseconds here; blink and you missed it.Less total space increases the likely hood of writing fragmented files, and while the performance impact is small keep in mind that it's generally considered a bad idea to defragement a nand-flash S.S.D. because it will wear down the drive. Of course depending on what filesystem you are using some result in extremely low amounts of fragmentation, because they are designed to write files as a whole whenever possible rather than dump it all over the place to create faster write speeds.Nope, sorry; again this is wrong. The filesystem's view of files and the SSD's view of those same files are not even remotely close.The filesystem might see the file as fragmented in the worst case possible, BUT, the SSD view of the same data is almost always optimized.Thus, a defragmentation program would look at those LBAs and say, this file must really be fragmented! But, since it has no clue as to the internals of the SSD, it is 100% wrong. THAT is the reason a defrag program will not work on SSDs, and yes, a defrag program also causes unnecessary writes, as was mentioned.The article series Coding for SSDs is a good overview ofwhat is going on if you want to be more technical about how SSDs work.For some more "light" reading on how FTL (Flash Translation Layer) actually works, I also suggest you read Critical Role of Firmware and Flash Translation Layers in Solid State Drive Design (PDF) from the Flash Memory Summit site.They also have lots of other papers available, such as:Modeling Flash Translation Layers to Enhance System Lifetime (PDF)Leveraging host based Flash Translation Layer for Application Acceleration (PDF)Another paper on how this works: Flash Memory Overview (PDF). See the section "Writing Data" (pages 26-27).If video is more your thing, see An efficient page-level FTL to optimize address translation in flash memory and related slides.Share

– MarioDSMay 30, 2016 at 13:074From Windows Internals 6th ed., part 2, ch. 9 (Storage Management) and 12 (File Systems), you can learn how I/O requests to files go through the file system driver, then the volume driver, and finally the disk driver (also used for SSDs). The FSD translates blocks-within-a-file to blocks-within-a-partitoin; the volume driver translates the latter to blocks-within-a-disk, i.e. LBAs. So by the time the requests reach the disk driver all file- and partition-related context is GONE. The disk can't be aware of files or partitions because that info just isn't in the requests that come to it.
– Jamie HanrahanMay 30, 2016 at 15:215RobinHood is also mistaken in the claim "Like hard drives nand-flash S.S.D's are sequential access". These are random-access devices. If they were sequential access, then you couldn't tell them "read or write block n"; the only block you could access would be the one immediately following, or maybe the one immediately preceding, the one you just accessed. It is true that internally, NAND-flash SSDs can only write data in large "pages" at a time, but that doesn't make them sequential access. Tapes are sequential access. Look it up.

Very long answers here, when the answer is simple enough and followsdirectly just from the general knowledge of SSDs.One does not need more than readthe Wikipedia term of Solid-state drive to understand the answer, which is:The advice "DO NOT PARTITION SSD" is nonsense.In the (now distant) past, operating systems did not support SSDs very well,and especially when partitioning did not take care to align the partitionsaccording to the size of the erase block.This lack of alignment, when an OS logical disk sector was split betweenphysical SSD blocks,could require the SSD to flash two physical sectors when the OS only intendedto update one, thus slowing disk access and increasing Wear leveling.Currently SSDs are becoming much larger, and operating systems knowall about erase blocks and alignment, so that the problem no longer exists.Maybe this advice was once meant to avoid errors on partition alignment,but today these errors are all but impossible.In fact, the argument for partitioning SSDs is today exactly the same as forclassical disks :To better organize and separate the data.For example, installing the operating system on a separate and smaller partitionis handy for taking a backup image of it as a precautionwhen making large updates to the OS.Share

There are no drawbacks to partitioning a SSD, and you can actually extend its life by leaving some unpartitioned space.Wear leveling is applied on all the blocks of device (ref. HP white-paper, linked below)In static wear leveling, all blocks across all available flash in the device participate in the wear-leveling operations. This ensures all blocks receive the same amount of wear. Static wear leveling is most often used in desktop and notebook SSDs.From that, we can conclude partitions don't matter for wear-leveling. This makes sense because from the HDD & controller point of view, partitions don't really exists. There are just blocks and data. Even partition table is written on the same blocks (1st block of the drive for MBR). It's the OS which then reads the table, and decides to which blocks to write data and which not.OS sees blocks using LBA to give a unique number to each block. However, the controller then maps the logical block to an actual physical block taking wear-leveling scheme into consideration.The same whitepaper gives a good suggestion to extend live of the device:Next, overprovision your drive. You can increase the lifetime by only partitioning a portion of the device’s total capacity. For example, if you have a 256 GB drive— only partition it to 240 GB. This will greatly extend the life of the drive. A 20% overprovisioning level (partitioning only 200 GB) would extend the life further. A good rule of thumb is every time you double the drive’s overprovisioning you add 1x to the drive’s endurance.This also hints that even unpartitioned space is used for wear-levelling, thus further proving the point above.Source: Technical white paper - SSD Endurance (http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/getpdf.aspx/4AA5-7601ENW.pdf)Share

Disk sectors have been 512 bytes for a long time, and mechanical disks have the property that the only thing that affects how long it takes to read/write a sector is the seek delay. So the main optimzation step with mechanical hard drives was try to read/write blocks sequentially to minimize seeks. Flash works vastly different than mechnical hard drives. On the raw flash level, you do not have blocks, but pages and "eraseblocks" (to borrow from Linux MTD terminology). You can write to flash a page at a time, and you can erase flash an eraseblock at a time.A typical page size for flash is 2KBytes, and a typical size for eraseblocks is 128KBytes.But SATA SSDs present an interface that works with 512 byte sector sizes to the OS.If there is a 1:1 mapping between pages and sectors, you can see how you would run into trouble if your partition table started on an odd page or a page in the middle of an eraseblock. Given that OSes prefer to fetch data from drives in 4Kbyte chunks since this aligns with x86 paging hardware, you can see how such a 4Kbyte block could straddle an eraseblock, meaning updating it would require erasing, then rewriting 2 blocks instead of 1. Leading to lower performance.However, SSD firmware does not maintain a 1:1 mapping, it does a Physical Block Address (PBA) to Logical Block Address (LBA) translation. Meaning you do not ever know where say sector 5000 or any other given sector is really being written to in the flash. It's doing a lot of things behind the scenes by design to try always write to pre-erased eraseblocks. You can't know for sure exactly what its doing without a disassembly of the firmware, but unless the firmware is completely junk the firmware probably steps around this.You may have heard about 4Kn hard drives. These are mechnical hard drives that internally use a sector size of 4Kbytes, but still present a 512-byte sector interface to the operating systems. This is needed because the gaps between sectors need to get smaller on the platter to fit more data.That means internally it always reads and writes 4K sectors but hides it from the OS. In this case, if you do not write to sectors that fall on a 4KByte boundary, you will incur a speed penalty because each such read/write will result in two internal 4KByte sectors being read and rewritten. But this does not apply to SSDs.Anyway this is the only situation I can think of why it is suggested not to partition SSDs. But it doesn't apply.Share

I decided some background information might be helpful in making this answer clear, but as you can see I went a bit OCD soyou might want to skip to the end and then go back if needed. While I do know a bit, I'm not an expert on S.S.D.s so if anyone sees a mistake EDIT it.:).Background Information:What Is An S.S.D.?:An S.S.D. or solid state drive is a storage device with no moving parts. The term S.S.D. is often intended tospecifically refer to nand-flash based solid state drives intended to act as a hard drive alternative, but inactuality they are just one form of S.S.D., and not even the most popular one. The most popular type of S.S.D.is nand-flash based removable media like usb sticks (flash drives), and memory cards, though they are rarely refered toas an S.S.D.. S.S.D.s can also be ram based, but most ram-drives are software generated as opposed to physical hardware.Why Do Nand-flash S.S.D.s Intended To Act As A Hard Drive Alternative Exist?:In order to run an operating system, and it's software a fast storage medium is required. This is where ram comes intoplay, but historically ram was expensive and cpu's couldn't address massive quantities. When you run an operating system,or program the currently-required portions of data are copied to your ram, because your storage device isn't fast enough.A bottleneck is created, because you have to wait for the data to be copied from the slow storage device to the ram. Whilenot all nand-flash S.S.D.s recieve better performance than the more traditional hard drive, the ones that do help reduce the bottleneck by giving faster access times, read speeds, and write speeds. What Is Nand-flash?:Flash storage is a storage medium that uses electricity rather than magnetism to store data. Nand-flash is flash storagethat uses a NAND gateway. Unlike A nor-flash which is random access, nand-flash is sequentially accessed.How Do Nand-flash S.S.D.s store data?:Nand-flash storage is composed of blocks, those blocks are split into cells, the cells contain pages. Unlike a hard drive which uses magnetismto store data, flash mediums use electricity, because of this data cannot be over-written;data must be erased in order to re-use the space. The device cannot erase individualpages; erasal must occur at a block level. Since data cannot be written to a block that is already used (even if not all the pages in it are) the entire block must be erased first, and then the now blank block can have data written to it's pages. The problem is that you would lose any data already in those pages, including data you don't want to discard! To prevent this existing data to be retained must be copied somewhere else before performing the block erasal. This copying proceedure is not performed by the computer's operatingsystem, it is performed at a device level by a feature known as garbage collection.On hard drives a magnetic plate is used to store data. Much like vinyl records the plate has tracks, and these tracks aredivided into sections called sectors. A sector can hold a certain amount of data (typically 512 bytes but some newer onesare 4KB). When you applya filesystem sectors are grouped into clusters (based on a size you specify, called an allocation size or cluster size), and then files are written across clusters. It is also possible to divide a sector to make clusters smaller than your sector size.The space unused in a cluster after a file is written across a cluster (or several) is not usable, the next file starts ina new cluster. To avoid lots of unusable space people typically use smaller cluster sizes, but this can decrease performance when writing large files. Nand-flash S.S.D.s do not have a magnetic plate, they use electricity passing through memory blocks. A blockis made of cells containing pages. Pages have X capacity (usually 4 KB), and thus the number of pages will determine the capacityof a block (usually 512 KB). On SSD's a page equates to sector on a hard drive, because they both represent the smallestdivision of storage.What Is Wear Leveling?:Nand-flash storage blocks can be written to, and erased a limited number of times (refered to as their lifecycle). To prevent the drive from suffering ofcapacity reduction (dead blocks) it makes sense to wear down the blocks as evenly as possible. The limited lifecycle isalso the main reason why many people suggest not having a page file or swap partition in your operating system if you areusing a Nand-flash based S.S.D. (though the fast data transfer speeds from the device to ram are also a major factor inthat suggestion).What Is Over Provisioning?:Over Provisioning defines the difference between how much free space there is, compared to how much there appears to be.Nand-flash based storage devices claim to be smaller than they are so that there is garanteed to be empty blocks forgarbage disposal to use. There is a second kind of over provisioning called dynamic over provisioning which simply refersto known free space within the shown free space. There are two types of dynamic over provisioning: operating system level,and drive controller level. At the operating system level Trim can be used to free blocks that can then be written toimmediatley. At the controller level unallocated drive space (not partitioned, no filesystem) may be used. Having morefree blocks helps keep the drive running at it's best performance, because it can write immediately. It also increasesthe likely hood of having blocks that are sequentially located which reduces access times because Nand-flash S.S.D.suse sequential access to read and write data.What Is Write Amplification?:Because Nand-flash mediums require a block to be erased before it can be written, any data within the block that isn'tbeing erased must be copied to a new block by garbage disposal. These additional writes are called write amplification.What Is Trim.?:Operating systems are built with traditional hard drives in mind. Remember a traditional hard drive can directly overwritedata. When you delete a file the operating system marks it as deleted (okay to over-write), but the data is still there untila write operation occurs there. OnNand-flash based S.S.D.s this is a problem, because the data must first be erased. The erasal occurs at a block level sothere may be additional data that isn't being deleted. Garbage disposal copies any data that isn't up for deletion to emptyblocks, and then the blocks in question can be erased. This all takes time, and causes unneccesary writes (write amplification)! To get around this a feature called Trim was made.Trim gives the operating system the power to tell the S.S.D. to erase blocks with pages containing data the operating system has markedas deleted during periods of time when you aren't requesting a write operation there. Garbage collection does it's thing, and as a result blocks are freed up so that writes can hopefully occur toblocks that don't need to be erased first which makes the process faster, and helps reduce the write amplification to amimimum. This is not done on a file basis; Trim uses logical block addressing. The L.B.A. specifies which sectors (pages) to erase, and the erasal occurs at a block level.The Answer To Your Question "Disadvantages of partitioning an SSD?":Ram Based S.S.D.s:There is absolutely no disadvantage because they are random access!Nand-flash Based S.S.D.s:The only disadvantages that come to my mind would be:Wear leveling won't have as much free space to play with, because write operations will be spread across a smaller space, so you "could", but not necessarily will wear out that part of the drive faster than you would if the whole drive was asingle partition unless you will be performing equivalent wear on the additional partitions (eg: a dual boot).Like hard drives nand-flash S.S.D's are sequential access so any data you write/read from the additional partitions will befarther away than it "might" have been if it were written in a single partition, because people usually leave free spacein their partitions. This will increase access times for the data that is stored on the additional partitions.Less total space increases the likely hood of writing fragmented files, and while the performance impact is smallkeep in mind that it's generally considered a bad idea to defragement a nand-flash S.S.D. because it will wear downthe drive. Of course depending on what filesystem you are using some result in extremely low amounts of fragmentation, because they are designed to write files as a whole whenever possible rather than dump it all over the place tocreate faster write speeds.I'd say it's okay to have multiple partitions, but wear leveling could be a concern if you have some partitionsgetting lots of write activity, and others getting very little. If you don't partition space you don't plan to use, and instead leave it for dynamic over provisioning you may recieve a performance boost because it will be easier to free blocksand write sequential data. However there is no garauntee that over provisioning space will be needed which brings us backto point #1 about wear leveling.Some other people in this thread have brought up discussion of how partitioning will affect Trim's contributions to dynamic over provisioning. To my understanding TRIM is used to point out sectors (pages) that have data flagged for deletion, and so garbage disposal can free erase those blocks. This free space acts as dynamic over provisioning within THAT partition only, becausethose sectors are part of clusters being used by that partition's filesystem; other partitions have their own filesystems.However I may be totally wrong on this as the whole idea of over provisioning is a bit unclear to me since data will bewritten to places that don't even have filesystems or appear in the drives capacity. This makes me wonder if perhaps over provisioning space is used on atemporary basis before a final optomized write operation to blocks within a filesystem? Of course Trim's contributionsto dynamic over provisioning within the filesystem would not be temporary as they could be written to directly since they're alreadyin usable space. That's my theory at least. Maybe my understanding of filesytems is wrong? I've been unable to find any resources that go into detail about this.Share

– Vlad KucherovSep 9, 2014 at 12:06Yea... I agree... this is a stupid solution. The issue is clearly something within Office's code, so there's probably not anything that can be done to get around it, besides this. If it comes to it, you might consider whipping up some VBA/Macro to open the workbooks you need as read-only and then keep that VBA in a workbook in a seperate folder. That's also hinky as all hell, but it might take some of the pain away.

You could create a read-only network share and use that for opening such files. Excel won't have any chance then for creating the lock files which in turn change the modification date of the containing folder.Share

The other way to prevent opening an Excel file from changing the folder's modified date is to ctrl-shift right click on file name and select open in protected mode.Edit: method2 is right click menu on file and click new.Share

Why is cache memory so expensive? | memory;architecture;memory;architecture | Why is cache memory so expensive?
Ask Question

Take a look at : Processors cache L1, L2 and L3 are all made of SRAM?In general they are all implemented with SRAM.(IBM's POWER and zArchitecture chips use DRAM memory for L3. This is called embedded DRAM because it is implemented in the same type of process technology as logic, allowing fast logic to be integrated into the same chip as the DRAM. For POWER4 the off-chip L3 used eDRAM; POWER7 has the L3 on the same chip as the processing cores.)Although they use SRAM, they do not all use the same SRAM design. SRAM for L2 and L3 are optimized for size (to increase the capacity given limited manufacturable chip size or reduce the cost of a given capacity) while SRAM for L1 is more likely to be optimized for speed.More importantly, the access time is related to the physical size of the storage. With a two dimensional layout one can expect physical access latency to be roughly proportional to the square root of the capacity. (Non-uniform cache architecture exploits this to provide a subset of cache at lower latency. The L3 slices of recent Intel processors have a similar effect; a hit in the local slice has significantly lower latency.) This effect can make a DRAM cache faster than an SRAM cache at high capacities because the DRAM is physically smaller.Another factor is that most L2 and L3 caches use serial access of tags and data where most L1 caches access tags and data in parallel. This is a power optimization (L2 miss rates are higher than L1 miss rates, so data access is more likely to be wasted work; L2 data access generally requires more energy--related to the capacity--; and L2 caches usually have higher associativity which means that more data entries would have to be read speculatively). Obviously, having to wait for the tag matching before accessing the data will add to the time required to retrieve the data. (L2 access also typically only begins after an L1 miss is confirmed, so the latency of L1 miss detection is added to the total access latency of L2.)In addition, L2 cache is physically more distant from the execution engine. Placing the L1 data cache close to the execution engine (so that the common case of L1 hit is fast) generally means that L2 must be placed farther away.Take a look at : Why is the capacity of of cache memory so limited?The total silicon area (max chip size) is limited. Putting more cores or more cache, or more hierarchy of the caches are the trade-off of the design.Take a look at : L2 and L3 Cache Difference?Typically there are now 3 layers of cache on modern CPU cores:L1 cache is very small and very tightly bound to the actualprocessing units of the CPU, it can typically fulfil data requestswithin 3 CPU clock ticks. L1 cache tends to be around 4-32KBdepending on CPU architecture and is split between instruction anddata caches.L2 cache is generally larger but a bit slower and is generally tiedto a CPU core. Recent processors tend to have 512KB of cache per coreand this cache has no distinction between instruction and datacaches, it is a unified cache. I believe the response time forin-cache data is typically under 20 CPU "ticks"L3 cache tends to be shared by all the cores present on the CPU andis much larger and slower again, but it is still a lot faster thangoing to main memory. L3 cache tends to be of the order of 4-8MBthese days.Main Memory (~16 G, Shared). Take a look at : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4666728/size-of-l1-cache-and-l2-cacheL1 is closer to the processor, and is accessed on every memory access so its accesses are very frequent. Thus, it needs to return the data really fast (usually within on clock cycle). It also needs lots of read/write ports and high access bandwidth. Building a large cache with these properties is impossible. Thus, designers keep it small, e.g., 32KB in most processors today.L2 is accessed only on L1 misses so accesses are less frequent (usually 1/20th of the L1). Thus, L1 can take multiple cycles to access (usually kept under 10) and have fewer ports. This allows designers to make it bigger.Both of them pay very different roles. If L1 is made bigger, it will increase L1 access latency which will drastically reduce performance because it will make all loads and stores slower. Thus, L1 size is barely debatable.If we removed L2, L1 misses will have to go to the next level, say memory. This means that a lot of access will be going to memory which would imply we need more memory bandwidth, which is already a bottleneck. Thus, keeping the L2 around is favorable.Experts often refer to L1 as a latency filter (as it makes the common case of L1 hits faster) and L2 as a bandwidth filter as it reduces memory bandwidth usage.Note: I have assumed a 2-level cache hierarchy in my argument to make it simpler. In almost all of todays multicore chips, there also exists an L3. In these chips, L3 is the one that plays the role of memory bandwidth filter. L2 now plays the role of on-chip bandwidth filter, i.e., it reduces access to the on-chip interconnect and the L3 (allowing designers to put a low-bandwidth interconnects like a ring and a slow single-port L3 which allows them to make L3 bigger).Perhaps worth mentioning that the number of ports is a very important design point because it determines how much of the chip area will the cache consume. Ports add wires to the cache which consumes a lot of chip area and power.Take a look at : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_random-access_memoryStatic random-access memory (SRAM or static RAM) is a type of semiconductor memory that uses bistable latching circuitry to store each bit. The term static differentiates it from dynamic RAM (DRAM) which must be periodically refreshed. SRAM exhibits data remanence,1 but it is still volatile in the conventional sense that data is eventually lost when the memory is not powered.Share

Short answer: because registers, cache and main memory are built in different ways so there is a trade-off between fast/expensive and slowish/cheaper.While a register will be accessed in a single cycle, cache and main memory might make use of controlling mechanisms that allow them to share some low-level components, thus, making them cheaper to build. For instance, some memory chips will hold X number of requests in a queue while it's still searching for memory banks for a address location that was requested previously.You can read more about it at Wikipedia's Memory Hierarchy page and follow the links for more details.If you want to deep dive into this area, Martin Thompson's talks are very insightful, specially the one on performance myths (which has a directly comparison of registers, cache and main memory).Share

WAMPServer 2.5 Homepage the Your Projects Menu and Virtual HostsThere has been a change of concept in WampServer 2.5 and there is a good reason for this change!In WampServer 2.5 it is now STRONGLY encouraged to create a Virtual Host for each of your projects, even if you hold then in a \wamp\www\subfolder structure.Virtual Hosts DocumentationVirtual Host ExamplesThe WampServer home page ( \wamp\www\index.php ) now expects you to have created a Virtual Host for all your projects and will therefore work properly only if you do so.HistoryIn order to make life easier for beginners using WampServer to learn PHP Apache and MySQL it was suggested that you create subfolders under the \wamp\www\ folder.wamp |-- www |-- Chapter1 |-- Chapter2 |-- etcThese subfolders would then show as links in the WampServer Homepage under a menu called 'Your Projects' and these links would contain a link to localhost/subfoldername.Acceptable only for simple tutorialsThis made life easy for the complete beginner, and was perfectly acceptable for example for those following tutorials to learn PHP coding.However it was never intended for use when developing a real web site that you would later want to copy to your live hosted server.In fact if you did use this mechanism it often caused problems as the live sites configuration would not match your development configuration.The Problem for real website development.The reason for this is of course that the default DocumentRoot setting for wamp isDocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"regardless of what your subfolder was called.This ment that often used PHP code that queried the structure or your site received different information when running on your development WampServer to what it would receive when running on a live hosted server, where the DocumentRoot configuration points to the folder at the top of the website file hierarchy.This kind of code exists in many frameworks and CMS's for example WordPress and Joomla etc.For ExampleLets say we have a project called project1 held in wamp\www\project1 and run incorrectly as localhost/project1/index.phpThis is what would be reported by some of the PHP command in question:$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = localhost$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = localhost$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = c:/wamp/wwwNow if we had correctly defined that site using a Virtual Host definition and ran it as http://project1 the results on the WAMPServer devlopment site will match those received when on a live hosted environment.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = project1$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = project1$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = c:/wamp/www/project1Now this difference may seem trivial at first but if you were to use a framework like WordPress or one of the CMS's like Joomla for example, this can and does cause problems when you move your site to a live server.How to create a Virtual Host in WampServerActually this should work basically the same for any wndows Apache server, with differences only in where you may find the Apache config files.There are 3 steps to create your first Virtual Host in Apache, and only 2 if you already have one defined.Create the Virtual Host definition(s)Add your new domain name to the HOSTS file.Uncomment the line in httpd.conf that includes the Virtual Hosts definition file.Step 1, Create the Virtual Host definition(s)Edit the file called httpd-vhosts.conf which for WampServer lives in\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf(Apache version numbers may differ, engage brain before continuing)If this is the first time you edit this file, remove the default example code, it is of no use.I am assuming we want to create a definition for a site called project1 that lives in\wamp\www\project1Very important, first we must make sure that localhost still works so that is the first VHOST definition we will put in this file.<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www" ServerName localhost ServerAlias localhost <Directory "c:/wamp/www"> AllowOverride All Require local </Directory></VirtualHost>Now we define our project: and this of course you do for each of your projects as you start a new one.<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/project1" ServerName project1 <Directory "c:/wamp/www/project1"> AllowOverride All Require local </Directory></VirtualHost>NOTE: That each Virtual Host as its own DocumentRoot defined. There are also many other parameters you can add to a Virtual Hosts definition, check the Apache documentation.Small asideThe way virtual hosts work in Apache: The first definition in this file will also be the default site, so should the domain name used in the browser not match any actually defined virtually hosted domain, making localhost the first domain in the file will therefore make it the site that is loaded if a hack attempt just uses your IP Address.So if we ensure that the Apache security for this domain is ALWAYS SET TORequire localany casual hack from an external address will receive an error and not get into your PC, but should you misspell a domain you will be shown the WampServer homepage, because you are on the same PC as WampServer and therfore local.Step 2:Add your new domain name to the HOSTS file.Now we need to add the domain name that we have used in the Virtual Host definition to the HOSTS file so that windows knows where to find it. This is similiar to creating a DNS A record, but it is only visible in this case on this specific PC.Edit C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hostsThe file has no extension and should remain that way. Watch out for notepad, as it may try and add a .txt extension if you have no better editor.I suggest you download Notepad++, its free and a very good editor.Also this is a protected file so you must edit it with administrator privileges, so launch you editor using the Run as Administrator menu option.The hosts file should look like this when you have completed these edits127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.1 project1::1 localhost::1 project1Note that you should have definitions in here for the IPV4 loopback address 127.0.0.1 and also the IPV6 loopback address ::1 as Apache is now IPV6 aware and the browser will use either IPV4 or IPV6 or both. I have no idea how it decides which to use, but it can use either if you have the IPV6 stack turned on, and most window OS's do as of XP SP3.Now we must tell windows to refresh its domain name cache, so launch a command window again using the Run as Administrator menu option again, and do the following.net stop dnscachenet start dnscacheThis forces windows to clear its domain name cache and reload it, in reloading it will re-read the HOSTS file so now it knows about the domain project1.Step 3: Uncomment the line in httpd.conf that includes the Virtual Hosts definition file.Edit your httpd.conf, use the wampmanager.exe menus to make sure you edit the correct file.Find this line in httpd.conf# Virtual hosts#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.confAnd just remove the # to uncomment that line.To activate this change in you running Apache we must now stop and restart the Apache service.wampmanager.exe -> Apache -> Service -> Restart ServiceNow if the WAMP icon in the system tray does not go GREEN again, it means you have probably done something wrong in the \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf file.If so here is a useful mechanism to find out what is wrong. It uses a feature of the Apache exe (httpd.exe) to check its config files and report errors by filename and line numbers.Launch a command window.cd \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\binhttpd -tSo fix the errors and retest again until you get the outputSyntax OKNow there is one more thing.There are actually 2 new menu items on the wampmanager menu system. One called [b]'My Projects'[/b] which is turned on by default.And a second one, called [b]'My Virtual Hosts'[/b], which is not activated by default.'My Projects' will list any sub directory of the \wamp\www directory and provide a link to launch the site in that sub directory.As I said earlier, it launches 'project1` and not 'localhost/project1' so to make the link work we must create a Virtual Host definition to make this link actually launch that site in your browser, without the Virtual Host definition it's likely to launch a web search for the site name as a keyword or just return a site not found condition.The 'My Virtual Hosts' menu item is a little different. It searches the file that is used to define Virtual Hosts ( we will get to that in a minute ) and creates menu links for each ServerName parameter it finds and creates a menu item for each one.This may seem a little confusing as once we create a Virtual Host definition for the sub directories of the \wamp\www folder some items will appear on both of the 'My Projects' menu and the 'My Virtual Hosts' menu's.How do I turn this other 'My Virtual Hosts' menu on?Make a backup of the \wamp\wampmanager.tpl file, just in case you make a mistake, its a very important file.Edit the \wamp\wampmanager.tplFind this parameter ;WAMPPROJECTSUBMENU, its in the '[Menu.Left]' section.Add this new parameter ;WAMPVHOSTSUBMENU either before or after the ;WAMPPROJECTSUBMENU parameter.Save the file.Now right click the wampmanager icon, and select 'Refresh'. If this does not add the menu, 'exit' and restart wampmanager.Big NoteThe new menu will only appear if you already have some Virtual Hosts defined! Otherwise you will see no difference until you define a VHOST.Now if you take this to its logical extensionYou can now move your web site code completely outside the \wamp\ folder structure simply by changing the DocumentRoot parameter in the VHOST definition. So for example you could do this:Create a folder on the wamp disk or any other disk ( beware of network drive, they are a bit more complicated)D:MD websitesCD websitesMD example.comCD example.comMD wwwYou now copy your site code to, or start creating it in the \websites\example.com\www folder and define your VHOST like this:<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "d:/websites/example.com/www" ServerName example.dev ServerAlias www.example.dev <Directory "d:/websites/example.com/www"> AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> php_flag display_errors Off php_flag log_errors On php_value max_upload_size 40M php_value max_execution_time 60 php_value error_log "d:/wamp/logs/example_com_phperror.log"</VirtualHost>Then add this new development domain to the HOSTS file:127.0.0.1 localhost::1 localhost127.0.0.1 project1::1 project1127.0.0.1 example.dev::1 example.devNOTE: It is not a good idea to use a ServerName or ServerAlias that is the same as your live domain name, as if we had used example.com as the ServerName it would mean we could no longer get to the real live site from this PC as it would direct example.com to 127.0.0.1 i.e. this PC and not out onto the internet.ALSO:See that I have allowed this site to be accessed from the internet from within the VHOST definitions, this change will apply to only this site and no other. Very useful for allowing a client to view your changes for an hour or so without having to copy them to the live server.This does mean that we have to edit this file manually to turn this access on and off rather than use the Put Online/Offline menu item on wampmanager.Also I have added some modifications to the PHP config, again that will only apply to this one site.Very useful when maintaining a site with specific requirement unlike all the other sites you maintain.I guess we can assume from the parameters used that it has a long running page in it somewhere and it is very badly written and will not run with errors being displayed on the browser without making a horrible mess of the page. Believe me sites like this exist and people still want them maintained badly. But this mean we only have to change these parameters for this specific site and not globally to all Virtual sites running on WampServer.Share

All the -- does is tell Excel to convert the boolean search results to 0 or 1.Anytime you need to use some type of logical function in Excel and wish to have the results returned as either “1” or “0” instead of “TRUE” or “FALSE,” simply use double minus signs as part of your formula and you will be well on your way to creating some powerful Excel formulas.This source does a great job of explaining how to use this feature.Share

I would recommend Batch Images http://www.binarymark.com/products/batchimages/default.aspxStep 1: Specify the folder(s) where you want to scan for images, and specify file name pattern if applies:Step 2: Under image properties tab, under Metadata check EXIF GPS, that way saying explicitly that you require images to have that metadata type (which is what you want)Step 3: Click search and wait. When the search is done images will be added to the list in the main window, which you can the either work with (process, modify, convert, etc.), or save it as a txt file for use by other programs. You can also directly copy image files from within the program.Although the program is paid, you can accomplish this with the free trial version so you don't need to buy a license.Disclaimer: I have the paid version and am an active user.Share

You get a success because the regex matches on a portion of it.If you want an exact match, you need to anchor the pattern to the start and end of the line: regex="^lo(lo)+ba$"the ^ stands for the start of the string: nothing can be before the patternthe $ stands for the end of the string: nothing can be afterIn your original code, as the pattern is not anchored, the pattern matching does not care of what could be before of after, if at least a portion of the string validates the pattern.ShareImprove this answer

Ask Question

The problem: Excel does not want to recognize dates as dates, even though through "Format cells - Number - Custom" you are explicitly trying to tell it these are dates by "mm/dd/yyyy". As you know; when excel has recognized something as a date, it further stores this as a number - such as "41004" but displays as date according to format you specify. To add to confusion excel may convert only part of your dates such as 08/04/2009, but leave other e.g. 07/28/2009 unconverted.Solution: steps 1 and then 21) Select the date column. Under Data choose button Text to Columns. On first screen leave radio button on "delimited" and click Next. Unclick any of the delimiter boxes (any boxes blank; no checkmarks) and click Next. Under column data format choose Date and select MDY in the adjacent combo box and click Finish. Now you got date values (i.e. Excel has recognised your values as Date data type), but the formatting is likely still the locale date, not the mm/dd/yyyy you want.2) To get the desired US date format displayed properly you first need to select the column (if unselected) then under Cell Format - Number choose Date AND select Locale : English (US). This will give you format like "m/d/yy". Then you can select Custom and there you can either type "mm/dd/yyyy" or choose this from the list of custom strings. Alternative 0 : use LibreOffice Calc. Upon pasting data from Patrick's post choose Paste Special (Ctrl+Shift+V) and choose Unformatted Text. This will open "Import Text" dialog box. Character set remains Unicode but for language choose English(USA); you should also check the box "Detect special numbers". Your dates immediately appear in the default US format and are date-sortable. If you wish the special US format MM/DD/YYYY you need to specify this once through "format Cells" - either before or after pasting. One might say - Excel should have recognised dates as soon as I told it via "Cell Format" and I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately it is only through step 1 from above that I have been able to make Excel recognize these text strings as dates. Obviously if you do this a lot it is pain in the neck and you might put together a visual basic routine that would do this for you at a push of a button. It can be as simple as this VBA code in Excel:Sub RemoveApostrophe()For Each CurrentCell In SelectionIf CurrentCell.HasFormula = False Then CurrentCell.Formula = CurrentCell.ValueEnd IfNextEnd SubAlternative 1: Data | Text to ColumnsUpdate on leading apostrophe after pasting: You can see in the formula bar that in the cell where date was not recognised there is a leading apostrophe. That means in the cell formatted as a number (or a date) there is a text string that program thinks - you want to preserve as a text string. You could say - the leading apostrophe prevents the spreadsheet to recognise the number. You need to know to look in formula bar for this - because the spreadsheet simply displays what looks like a left-aligned number. To deal with this, select the column you want to correct, choose in menu Data | Text to Columns and click OK. Sometimes you will be able to specify the data type, but if you have previously set the format of the column to be your particular data type - you will not need it. The command is really meant to split a text column in two or more using a delimiter, but it works like a charm for this problem too. I have tested it in Libreoffice, but there is the same menu item in Excel too.Alternative 2: Edit Replace in LibreofficeThis is the quickest and best way so far, but that does not work in MsOffice as far as I know. Libreoffice Calc has option to search/replace using Regexps (aka. Regular Expressions) - what you do is find the cell and replace with itself and in the process Calc re-recognises the number as number and gets rid of the leading apostrophe. It works extremely quick. Select your column. Ctrl-H opens find-replace dialogue. Check 'Current selection' and 'Use regular expressions'. In the find box enter ^[0-9] - which means 'find any cell that has a digit 0 to 9 in its first position'. In the replace box enter & - which for libreoffice means 'for replacement use string you found in the search box'. Click Replace All - and your values are recognised for numbers that they are. The beauty is - it works on cells that contain only numbers with a leading apostrophe, nothing else - i.e. it will not touch cells that contain apostrophe-a space (or two)-then number, or cells that contain capital O instead of zero or any other anomalies you want to correct by hand.ShareImprove this answer

Splitting the date values to columns (and then re-integrating in ISO format) is of course a possibility, but given that Excel has extensive built in date functions I'd like to be able to leverage them with the valid date data I have. Your second option is exactly as I describe what is not working for me.
– PatrickSep 26, 2014 at 15:05Dear Patrick, please read carefully. Or you can use Libre Office Calc - with your data this works straight away - you simply pre-format column for Date - English (USA) and upon pasting do "Paste Special" "Unformatted text" - just tell the dialog box that language is English(USA) and don't forget to check the box to recognize special numbers. In my answer I tried to hint as hard as I could that Excel is inconsistent with this (buggy) and you have to resort to these steps 1 and then 2 to achieve the result you want.
– r0bertsSep 26, 2014 at 16:28I should indeed have read your question properly. Your first suggest does indeed work. You should have had the bounty. Thanks for your assistance.

– fixer1234Aug 28, 2015 at 20:26This really worked and was easy. The replacement thing just remove the leading zeros
– Pedro GabrielJul 7, 2017 at 18:086First, THIS WORKS. BEST solution. FAR better than the checked solution :) . To fixer1234 and @PedroGabriel: It's not that it removes zeros. In the act of replacing cell contents, Excel evaluates whether the resultant cell contains a formula, text, or a number. After doing the "/" replacement, it interprets the cell to now contain a number (which a date technically is to Excel), so it is now correctly sortable. (Clever users may recognize the technique of doing find/replace with an "=" character in a similar scenario with Excel reinterpreting contents.) Anyway Jair has the ideal solution :)

I was dealing with a similar issue with thousands of rows extracted out of a SAP database and, inexplicably, two different date formats in the same date column (most being our standard "YYYY-MM-DD" but about 10% being "MM-DD-YYY"). Manually editing 650 rows once every month was not an option.None (zero... 0... nil) of the options above worked. Yes, I tried them all. Copying to a text file or explicitly exporting to txt still, somehow, had no effect on the format (or lack therefo) of the 10% dates that simply sat in their corner refusing to behave.The only way I was able to fix it was to insert a blank column to the right of the misbehaving date column and using the following, rather simplistic formula:(assuming your misbehaving data is in Column D)=IF(MID(D2,3,1)="-",DATEVALUE(TEXT(CONCATENATE(RIGHT(D2,4),"-",LEFT(D2,5)),"YYYY-MM-DD")),DATEVALUE(TEXT(D2,"YYYY-MM-DD")))I could then copy the results in my new, calculated column over top of the misbehaving dates by pasting "Values" only after which I could delete my calculated column.ShareImprove this answer

I had the exact same issue with dates in excel. The format matched the requirements for a date in excel, yet without editing each cell it would not recognise the date, and when you are dealing with thousands of rows it is not practical to manually edit each cell. Solution is to run a find and replace on the row of dates where i replaced the hypen with a hyphen. Excel runs through the column replacing like with like but the resulting factor is that it now recongnises the dates! FIXED!ShareImprove this answer

This may not be relevant to the original questioner, but it may help someone else who is unable to sort a column of dates.I found that Excel would not recognise a column of dates which were all before 1900, insisting that they were a column of text (since 1/1/1900 has numeric equivalent 1, and negative numbers are apparently not allowed). So I did a general replace of all my dates (which were in the 1800s) to put them into the 1900s, e.g. 180 -> 190, 181 -> 191, etc. The sorting process then worked fine. Finally I did a replace the other way, e.g. 190 -> 180.Hope this helps some other historian out there.ShareImprove this answer

It seems that Excel does not recognize your dates as dates, it recognizes them text, hence you get the Sort options as A to Z. If you do it correctly, you should get something like this:Hence, it is important to ensure that Excel recognizes the date. The most simple way to do that, is use the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+3.Here's what I did to your data. I simply copied it from your post above and pasted it in excel.

Since some of the values are text (and some of the values, presumably, have actually been misinterpreted), formatting (such as by the Ctrl+Shift+3 keyboard shortcut) isn’t going to do any good.

I would suspect the issue is Excel not being able to understand the format... Although you select the Date format, it remains as Text.You can test this easily: When you try to update the dates format, select the column and right click on it and choose format cells (as you already do) but choose the option 2001-03-14 (near bottom of the list). Then review the format of your cells.I will suspect that only some of the date formats update correctly, indicating that Excel still treating it like a string, not a date (note the different formats in the below screen shot)! There are work-arounds for this, but, none of them will be automated simply because you're exporting each time. I would suggest using VBa, where you can simply run a macro which converts from US to UK date format, but, this would mean copying and pasting the VBa into your sheet each time.Alternatively, you create an Excel that reads the newly created exported Excel sheets (from exchange) and then execute the VBa to update the date format for you. I will assume the Exported Exchange Excel file will always have the same file name/directory and provide a working example:So, create new Excel sheet, called ImportedData.xlsm (excel enabled). This is the file where we will import the Exported Exchange Excel file into!Add this VBa to the ImportedData.xlsm fileSub DoTheCopyBit()Dim dateCol As StringdateCol = "A" 'UPDATE ME TO THE COLUMN OF THE DATE COLUMNDim directory As String, fileName As String, sheet As Worksheet, total As IntegerApplication.ScreenUpdating = FalseApplication.DisplayAlerts = Falsedirectory = "C:\Users\Dave\Desktop\" 'UPDATE MEfileName = Dir(directory & "ExportedExcel.xlsx") 'UPDATE ME (this is the Exchange exported file location)Do While fileName <> ""'MAKE SURE THE EXPORTED FILE IS OPENWorkbooks.Open (directory & fileName)Workbooks(fileName).Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy _Workbooks(fileName).ClosefileName = Dir()LoopApplication.ScreenUpdating = TrueApplication.DisplayAlerts = TrueDim row As Integerrow = 1Dim i As IntegerDo While (Range(dateCol & row).Value <> "")Dim splitty() As Stringsplitty = Split(Range(dateCol & row).Value, "/")Range(dateCol & row).NumberFormat = "@"Range(dateCol & row).Value = splitty(2) + "/" + splitty(0) + "/" + splitty(1)Range(dateCol & row).NumberFormat = "yyyy-mm-dd"row = row + 1LoopEnd SubWhat I also did was update the date format to yyyy-mm-dd because this way, even if Excel gives you the sort filter A-Z instead of newest values, it still works!I'm sure the above code has bugs in but I obviously have no idea what type of data you have but I tested it with the a single column of dates (as you have) and it works fine for me!How do I add VBA in MS Office?ShareImprove this answer

I figured it out!There is a space at the beginning and at the end of the date. If you use find and replace and press the spacebar, it WILL NOTwork. You have to click right before the month number, press shiftand the left arrow to select and copy. Sometimes you need to use themouse to select the space. Then paste this as the space in find andreplace and all your dates will become dates.If there is space and date Select Data>Go to Data>Text to columns>Delimited>Space as separator and then finish.All spaces will be removed.ShareImprove this answer

All the above solutions - including r0berts - were unsuccessful, but found this bizarre solution which turned out to be the fastest fix.I was trying to sort "dates" on a downloaded spreadsheet of account transactions. This had been downloaded via CHROME browser. No amount of manipulation of the "dates" would get them recognised as old-to-new sortable.But, then I downloaded via INTERNET EXPLORER browser - amazing - I could sort instantly without touching a column.I cannot explain why different browsers affect the formatting of data, except that it clearly did and was a very fast fix.ShareImprove this answer

I tried the various suggestions, but found the easiest solution for me was as follows...See Images 1 and 2 for the example... (note - some fields were hidden intentionally as they do not contribute to the example). I hope this helps...Field C - a mixed format that drove me absolutely crazy. This is how the data came directly from the database and had no extra spaces or crazy characters. When displaying it as a text for example, the 01/01/2016 displayed as a '42504' type value, intermixed with the 04/15/2006 which showed as is.Field F - where I obtained the length of field C (the LEN formula would be a length of 5 of 10 depending on the date format). The field is General format for simplicity.Field G - obtaining the month component of the mixed date - based on the length result in field F (5 or 10), I either obtain the month from the date value in field C, or obtain the month characters in the string.Field H - obtaining the day component of the mixed date - based on the length result in field F (5 or 10), I either obtain the day from the date value in field C, or obtain the day characters in the string.I can do this for the year as well, then create a date from the three components that is consistent. Otherwise, I can use the individual day, month, and year values in my analysis.Image 1: basic spreadsheet showing values and field namesImage 2: spreadsheet showing formulas matching explanation aboveI hope this helps.ShareImprove this answer

This happens all the time when exchanging date data between locales in Excel.If you have control over the VBA program that exports the data, I suggest exporting the number representing the date instead of the date itself. The number uniquely correlates with a single date, regardless of formatting and locale.For example, instead of the CSV file showing 24/09/2010 it will show 40445.In the export loop when you hold each cell, if it's a date, convert to number using CLng(myDateValue). This is an example of my loop running through all rows of a table and exporting to CSV (note I also replace commas in strings with a tag that I strip when importing, but you may not need this):arr = Worksheets(strSheetName).Range(strTableName & "[#Data]").Value For i = LBound(arr, 1) To UBound(arr, 1) strLine = "" For j = LBound(arr, 2) To UBound(arr, 2) - 1 varCurrentValue = arr(i, j) If VarType(varCurrentValue) = vbString Then varCurrentValue = Replace(varCurrentValue, ",", "<comma>") End If If VarType(varCurrentValue) = vbDate Then varCurrentValue = CLng(varCurrentValue) End If strLine = strLine & varCurrentValue & "," Next j 'Last column - not adding comma varCurrentValue = arr(i, j) If VarType(varCurrentValue) = vbString Then varCurrentValue = Replace(varCurrentValue, ",", "<comma>") End If If VarType(varCurrentValue) = vbDate Then varCurrentValue = CLng(varCurrentValue) End If strLine = strLine & varCurrentValue strLine = Replace(strLine, vbCrLf, "<vbCrLf>") 'replace all vbCrLf with tag - to avoid new line in output file strLine = Replace(strLine, vbLf, "<vbLf>") 'replace all vbLf with tag - to avoid new line in output file Print #intFileHandle, strLine Next iShareImprove this answer

This problem was driving me crazy, then I stumbled on an easy fix. At least it worked for my data. It is easy to do and to remember. But I do not know why this works but changing types as indicated above does not.1. Select the column(s) with the dates2. Search for a year in your dates, for example 2015. Select Replace All with the same year, 2015.3. Repeat for each year.This changes the types to actual dates, year by year.This is still cumbersome if you have many years in your data. Faster is to search for and replace 201 with 201 (to replace 2010 through 2019); replace 200 with 200 (to replace 2000 through 2009); and so forth. ShareImprove this answer

No answers here have suggested Excel Power Query. I had a DateTime value (e.g. 2021-02-25T00:35:54.497Z) that excel couldn't interpret correctly. I needed both date and time.

I usually just create an extra column for sorting or totaling purposes so use year(a1)&if len(month(a1))=1,),"")&month(a1)&day(a1).That will provide a yyyymmdd result that can be sorted. Using the len(a1) just allows an extra zero to be added for months 1-9.ShareImprove this answer

You need your 2012/2012R2 ISO mounted or unpacked to a folder as the installation media for .net 3.5 is actually included on the DVD/ISO itself!Next up, you can install by launching a command prompt (As Administrator) and running the following command:DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs(Replacing d:\sources\sxs with C:\users\you\desktop... or wherever you unpack it to!)The command switches used above do the following~:/Online targets the operating system you're running (instead of an offline Windows image)./Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 specifies that you want to enable the .NET Framework 3.5./All enables all parent features of the .NET Framework 3.5./LimitAccess prevents DISM from contacting Windows Update./Source specifies the location of the files needed to restore the feature (in this example, the D:\sources\sxs directory).This works 99.9% of the time, and if it fails - it usually indicates a problem with the BITS/Windows update service - which are actually both used by the DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) tool. To fix that, take a look at This Microsoft Fixit Article. The windows 8 manual instructiosn also work for 2012/2012R2!ShareImprove this answer

I also had an issue with this and I have to mention that if you are using an OEM / ROHK version of Windows Server 2012 the issue could be that there is a second language pack installed.A second language pack will also block the installation of the .NET Framework.You can check with lpksetup.exe if there is another language installed. Remove any languages until you only have one left and then try to install the .NET Framework again.Also if you are using OEM / ROK it could be necessary to get a different install DVD because in my case the install files for .NET were missing on the original OEM DVD.ShareImprove this answer

Doing more research, I found out that FF can be forced to reload modified searchplugins by deleting the search.js in %AppData%\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\[ID].default\\ or the linux equivalent folder.To actually get google to not redirect anymore, the following changes need to be made to the google.xml in the ....\\Mozilla Firefox\\browser\\searchplugins\\ folder:in Line 13 change google.com/search to google.de/search or the TLD of your country. It should now be<Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="https://www.google.de/search">in Line 27 change google.com to google.de/ncr. It should now be<Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="https://www.google.de/ncr" rel="searchform"/>save it (Admin rights may be required). Delete the search.js mentioned earlier and restart firefox.This got me working results for FF 32.0.3UPDATE: In the FF35.0 Update, the syntax of the google.xml file seems to have changed. It's sufficient to change line 13 as mentioned above. Line 27 has been removed. Don't forget to delete the search.jsUPDATE 2: Since FF40.0, the default search plugin xmls are not available as plain text anymore. The new recommended way is to install the google US (no country redirect) search plugin from Mycroft (see answer below) and and modify the xml in FF's AppData Folder to one's needs.ShareImprove this answer

Why does my C:\ drive show that it's using more space than is actually being used? | windows;windows-8;hard-drive;ssd;windows;windows-8;hard-drive;ssd | Why does my C:\ drive show that it's using more space than is actually being used?
Ask Question

There will always be a discrepancy between the used space reported on the drive itself and the sum of the files/folders on it, and the discrepancy will almost always be more on the OS drive than in any other drive on the system. There are a couple of reasons for this:The used/free graph on the drive properties is a very simple calculation based on the volume bitmap. The volume bitmap is just a record of which blocks are allocated and which are free. The graph merely subtracts the number of used blocks from the total and multiplies by the blocksize to arrive at a value. The volume bitmap does not consider what data those blocks hold or what they're allocated to; only that they're allocated to something.File Explorer or the command line will actually look at the sizes of all the files on the drive and add them together, but it can't see everything. Files with the hidden and system attributes do not display by default, so those files would not be considered unless you specifically selected them. Also, you wouldn't be able to get the size of files you don't have permission to access.File metadata such as access control lists, auditing data, extended attributes, etc. take space to store in the MFT, but are not actually part of the file and are therefore not reported.NTFS reparse points (such as junctions and hard links) are usually reported incorrectly by the file system. Hard links in particular get reported multiple times (making the space used look higher than what it actually is). Although symlinks are usually reported correctly.Sparse files, alternate data streams, volume shadow copies, and NTFS compression also distort the filesystem's view. Sparse files can be reported as gigabytes in size but may only have 100MB of data and only take 100MB of space. Compression tends to report the uncompressed size, not the compressed one. Alternate data streams do not get counted even though they're part of the file (the filesystem only reports the size of the first stream).Volume slack. Files are reported in bytes but are stored as 4KB clusters and rounded up to the nearest 4KB boundary. So if you have a 1-byte file, it will take 4KB of space. a 5KB file will take 8KB of space, etc. It's not much but it adds up over thousands of files.There are more, but really, the volume bitmap (the size reported by the drive's properties) is the true, accurate representation of how much free space you have.ShareImprove this answer

The short answer: no.A bit a longer answer: Acrobat is not set up to run in multiple instances. What you can do, and this is now also sanctioned and supported by Adobe, is running Reader with the same major version number (Acrobat XI and Reader XI, or Acrobat X and Reader X). If you happen to be on Mac, it is not sanctioned officially by Adobe, but if you know what you are doing, you can run different versions of Acrobat concurrently; I have a development where for changing the document, JavaScript has to be off, but for testing it has to be on. So, I run Acrobat 7 with JavaScript deactivated and Acrobat 9 or XI with active JavaScript, and for displaying important documentation, I have Reader XI active as well.For Windows, I am not quite sure whether Acrobat and Reader can run concurrently; they can be installed on the same machine.ShareImprove this answer

Generally yes, either through changing the boot order in bios, or by selecting a boot device in the system boot menu. If you don't want one bootloader stepping on the other, disconnect the other SSD and install.You don't need to 'turn off' the SSD - the windows system can't see the linux FS without additional filesystem drives, if they exist, and the linux system generally can be told to not mount your windows bootloader.ShareImprove this answer

You don't even need to turn off the SSD's in BIOS. On the Ubuntu SSD, install the boot loader Grub (installed by default), and make sure it has entries for both Linux and Windows. Then set your boot device for the SSD containing Ubuntu. This will make sure Grub gets started when you turn on your PC. After Grub starts at boot, you can choose to boot Windows or Ubuntu. (in short, Grub also works for different disks, not just for different partitions)ShareImprove this answer

If the question is "Is there is a way to open Explorer.exe from Chrome.exe?" then the general answer is "Yes." because one can launch Explorer.exe from Chrome's download view. A simple example of how to do this follows:Find something on the Internet that will trigger a download within Chrome and download it; or if you can remember the shortcuts, either press control-J or type chrome://downloads/ into Chrome's omnibox. As of 2018 the default Chrome theme's download tab contains a blue menu bar. On the very right of this blue menu bar is a Kebab Menu (three vertical dots aka "more options"). The Kebab menu has an option "Open downloads folder" which will normally launch Explorer.exe. This is useful when one is operationg in a limited environment such as Citrix Virtual Apps (previously know as MetaFrame, "Presentation Server", XenApp and then rolled into the suite and dubbed XenDesktop and as of 2018 "Citrix Virtual Apps"). Using this technique, one can typically launch Explorer.exe and elevate into a full desktop. One technique is to type into the just launched explorer window C:\Windows\System32\Taskmgr.exe and press enter. From the remote Task Manager window select the "Details" tab, locate explorer.exe, right click on it, select "End Task", select "End Process" and let the process end. Continuing with the remote Task Manager window, select File, Run new task. Type in explorer.exe (or specifically %windir%\explorer.exe) and the entire desktop should appear, including the start menu. This is a generally true method of gaining a full desktop from Chrome.exe. Each environment may contain caveats. If this specific technique fails, there are other techniques of which one normally succeeds. ShareImprove this answer

In fact, this depends on which Hyper-V server you wan to manage from your Windows 8.1 client.This post indicate it's totally possible to manage a Hyper-V server on Windows Server 2012/R2 from the Windows 8.1 Hyper-V Manager.Now, to manage Hyper-V Server 2012R2 (standalone), it's a bit different. This post explains how to remotely manage such an installation, either with Powershell, Server Manager or an MMC console. This article indeed state that you will have to install the proper RSAT if you want to manage your installation with server manager (point 1.2).If you want to manage an Hyper-V server on other version of Windows Server, please refer to this article, which has a table to explain the compatibility of the Hyper-V management tools.Hope this helps !ShareImprove this answer

Start configuring exchange server without .local internal network access Exchange services compulsory requires SSL certificate. Old practice configuration add .local names itself. Recently I renewed my exchange server ssl from ssl2buy. I heard interesting news from there that CA/Browser from announced new guide that no CA can issue ssl certificates for hostname (NetBIOS names) and .local domain names later Oct 2014. All currently issued ssl for .local names support should expire before Oct 2015. Also Microsoft will add this change in next update.I checked with Digicert, GeoTrust and Comodo. All said same. So I changed my server configuration and removed .local instances. If I don't change this now, have to do next year, but change is for sure. More interesting is my previous exchange ssl from digicert was for $250+ and this new comodo exchange ssl is just for $45. Both works good and I don't see any issue.

How to solve this?Reformat drive and restore data from your backup copy. Or ...Try to recoverManually search to see if the original uncorrupted files exist elsewhere on the drive.If necessary use a data recovery tool designed for use with flash drives. This may resurrect deleted files or parts of them.By hand, go through and remove all the links one by one. Replace the links with the original contents.Personally I'd hit the drive with a large hammer, burn the fragments, then bury them deep in a landfill site.

It is a hardware restriction of the connection you are using, whatever that connection is - fiber, ADSL, DialUp, 3g, 4g, ...A software that claims to overcome the restriction described above is clearly fraudulent.It is important to mention that there are ways to speed up web browsing to a certain extend. However this is a very special case. You can speed up your browser by rapidly switching between multiple proxies and opening several simultaneous connections to download the same resource. However this is normally offered as an extra functionality with the browser (like Opera's Turbo mode). Yet, even with this functionality enabled, your actual Broadband speed limit remains the top limiting factor.It is also worth mentioning that there are methods to increase actual data transfer rate. One of these methods is to use compression. However this method does not apply to some dodgy software offering to increase the speed, because compression on one side must be matched by decompression on another. For example if you send data and use some software to compress it, then whoever received the data should be aware of the compression and be capable of decompressing (and vise versa).Another thing that is very important to note is that there is a very poor regulations about advertising on the internet. Anyone can claim anything about software they distribute, virtually no responsibility is assumed. If it is not a big company with a real name, then no one will really bother with claims.In fact most of the programs that claim to speed up your Internet will contain either malware, spyware, trojans, advertising or all of it at the same time. By the way same applies for the software that claims to remove all viruses from you PC. Such software is intended for naive people without technical knowledge who will just click "install" and "agree" without giving it a second thought.If you have asked this question out of curiosity, then I hope I have summarized it well enough for you. This is a good question, btw. If you were actually considering to use such software - don't.ShareImprove this answer

So if I can download a 1MB File in 1 Second via a compression-relay-service, which compresses it to 100KB and decompresses it on my PC, my effective Bandwith is increased to 1MB/s
– FalcoJun 18, 2014 at 13:07Some of the software is supposed to work by looking at the links on the page you are currently browsing, and attempting to download the content at the other end of the links before you click on them. This can help to optimise your connection by taking advantage of otherwise unused bandwidth. However, this is likely to significantly increase the total amount of data you download, but may make it appear as if your connection is faster, as sometimes, the software will guess right and the content will have already been fetched for you.
– Bill MichellJun 18, 2014 at 13:07Software with an external service can also preload this contents and tidy up and compress them on their side and just send them to you, when you actually click the link. You will have the benefit of browsing-prediction without increased traffic on your side...

Do I think many of these offers are legit? NOBut are there ways in which a software could significantly speed up your internet experience? YESPossibilities include:Compression - If they provide a compression server, which takes your request in a compressed format, gets the ressource on the web and relays it to you compressed, it can be a major speed improvement depending on the content type. Good examples are Opera Turbo / Opera Mini / Windows Phone compression - with websites they can even use lossy compression and filter advertising and heavy third party load at their end, or present it on demand, which can save you tons of bandwidth.Caching - this also needs an external server - speeds up responsiveness of websites by caching their contents. But your ISP can do this as well and many major services provide several caching servers... But still, if a service would provide a massive fast caching server right next to you (small distance in hops) you could have a noticeably improved response time.DNS-Service: The software could provide you with a faster DNS-Service than your default one, which would reduce response time for many usual use-cases.System-Tweaking: especially for high-bandwidth transfers, there are a bunch of settings like number of connections, packet size, TCP and IP protocol tweaks, which could affect your performance. Although your default system settings should be pretty good and self-regulating, it is entirely possible someone can tweak the settings for a bit more performance.Protocol tricks/hacks: I seriously don't know how much of this one could actually work. But several protocols support various priority levels and other options, which could possibly be used to get your traffic routed faster by e.g. lying about its contents.ShareImprove this answer

IMHO, there are a couple of ways, the perceived Internet speed is enhanced.Compression - basically, if the end point (say website) is using compression techniques then basically, when you connect to that site, the amount of data that you download is less than the actual size of the final page. since, you would be downloading the compressed version of the site which after the download gets decompressed on your local machine to its original size, and presented to you. Acceleration Device - Similar the above but what happens here is that the data transferred between site A and site B gets compressed and sent across the same internet line but because of the compression techniques used, you would end up transferring a larger amount of data over a short period of time. Companies like Riverbed and Silver Peak are in the business of WAN optimization and a quick search will give you what they can do. ShareImprove this answer

I have to disagree with many of the answers here. Usually, (American) ISPs will slow down or "throttle" your access to certain websites or webservices. In general, if you live in America, you will NEVER hit the actual physical limit of data you can receive. Youtube and Netflix are the prime example of throttled services. If your ISP sees traffic going to or from Youtube, you can bet your connection is going to be suboptimal. However, if you were using one of these services, your ISP would only see traffic going to and from the service, and they would have no idea you are currently accessing Youtube. Measuring my own traffic, I get, on average, 250 kilobytes/second of data from Youtube normally. Through a private VPN I subscribe to, I usually get at least 2 megabytes/second during prime time. (I will not name my VPN for the sake of objectivity; I don't want this to look like an advertisement)I am not trying to imply that ALL speed enhancing software works, because we all know how many scams there are on the internet. But real speed-enhancing services do exist.ShareImprove this answer

In the dial-up and Windows 98-days, I used some software that preemptively followed every link in the background for every page I opened in a web-browser. The results were stored in the browser's local cache, like any other page I had previously visited. It was still a look-ahead caching proxy of sorts, but it worked on my computer without the need of a separate accelerator proxy, and it worked really well for surfing web-pages. It made dial-up feel instantaneous; however, long downloads (audio and video) still took normal speeds, because they were simply too big to preemptively download and cache. And, it could not help AJAX and other dynamic pages. It eventually failed, because they could not keep up with browser development, and they slipped over the event horizon like most every other dot-bomb company.If someone re-invented that wheel, they could make a lot of web-surfing feel faster, although you can never exceed the ISP-provided bandwidth, and AJAX pages would be a hairy thing to try to accelerate (i.e., look-ahead cache).ShareImprove this answer

There are a couple of ways your Internet connection speed can be improved, depending on your usage pattern.For example, you may have noticed that Internet browsing is very slow when you are seeding some torrents. When you are seeding a torrent, you are uploading, so why would it affect your browsing speed (which is largely downstream in terms of traffic volume)? The answer lies in the way TCP/IP works. Yes, when you browse websites, you are largely downloading, but your computer also needs to send acknowledge (ACK) packets to let the web servers know that you have indeed received data, otherwise the web server won't continue to send you new data. The ACK packets are very small, but they still need to be sent, which means it needs to use a little of your upstream bandwidth. Now, when you are seeding a torrent, the BitTorrent packets outnumber the ACK packets for your web browsing. Without proper packet prioritisation and scheduling, whichever generates the most packets basically gets to hog the upstream bandwidth.This is where some of these speed improvement programs can be legitimately useful. Some of them come as a form of custom ADSL driver. A smart ADSL driver can be configured to prioritise certain web browsing packets over P2P packets, so that your web browsing speed is largely unaffected when you are seeding torrents. In other words, it's a software implementation of Quality-of-Service. I remember having bought one that worked about 10 years ago, from a German software company. I can't remember the name though.ShareImprove this answer

One example would be, you send a request to a server with a fast connection to download the content you want and relay it to you in a low bandwidth friendly way. Essentially zipping the internet.The Opera Mini browser does this.Opera Mini FAQ.When you request a page in Opera Mini, the request is sent to the Opera Mini server that then downloads the page from the web. The server then wraps up your page up in a neat little compressed package (we call the format OBML), and sends it back to your phone at the speed of ninjas with jetpacks. ... By using Opera Mini, our servers do most of the work, so it works well with basic phones or older models. Pages are often smaller (saving you money) and load faster due our server-side compression. Mobile Classic can also compress pages by enabling Opera Turbo.ShareImprove this answer

There are a lot of tricks which can be sold as a service. For example, there could be a transparent proxy gateway between you and a server farm with a really good network bandwidth. Some tricky coding-recoding of the communication (for example, forcing caching/compression, or caching parts of html pages) were also possible.The main problem with these solutions, that these goodstanding people before me simply don't understand, how they could work.And yes, there are really a lot of fraudulent offers on the market.But it is possible, although not as a guaranteed service.ShareImprove this answer

I assume this software guides user through a number of procedure to test maximum bandwidth. It could ask user to check LAN connection with all services turned off. Then check a Wireless connection. Then offers your a kind of list of running services with options to turn them of in order to decrease other traffic. They should advise not to run many programs simultaneously. However anyway, it is all about the maximum your ISP, plan and hardware permit.By the way, you can run some test by your self, for example here: http://www.speedtest.netShareImprove this answer

99% of all "Speed up/Tweak your PC" are fake or do nothing but the very basics that every good SysOp will do anyways. There are however some tweaks for unusual system settings which in fact might result in a speed advantage.For example Windows isn't really prepared for 100 mb/s DSL connections and is noticeably slow (like ~80 mb/s only) unless you tweak the Registry properly. In this case a tweaking tool might save you some hassle, but usually appropriate tools are freely available either directly from Microsoft or from third parties.ShareImprove this answer

Summary: in about:config, toggle ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses to false.Actually recently this is the normal behaviour of Firefox. Recently, because few versions earlier it was not like this. And using extensions like Pentadactyl or Vimperator, it is very apparent and annoying, while possibly with the default user interface it's convenient. So I searched for related Firefox settings, and I found, the ui.key.menuAccessKey and ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses. First I had the intuition that the first needed to change, which was set to 18, which means the Alt key. I set it to 0, without any effect. Then I changed the latter, from true to false, and the issue become resolved.ShareImprove this answer

answered Jun 19, 2014 at 23:51deeenesdeeenes67111 gold badge55 silver badges1010 bronze badges64Right now, you need to change ui.key.menuAccessKey. ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses will be reset (on start?) if you have the menu bar hidden, so it most likely has no (useful and persistent) effect. This is part of a "bug fix", also introduced to solve what is an accessibility problem for people who use the menu bar interface. Apparently, under GTK, this setting is explicitly set to the boolean negation of the visibility attribute of the menu bar.
– njsgJun 28, 2014 at 7:593Thanks for pointing this out, indeed, the ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses is reset at restart, and sometimes randomly while running. Now I changed ui.key.menuAccessKey to 0, and surprisingly it works.
– deeenesJul 1, 2014 at 10:441@njsg I found out that ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses is set to true when you hide menubar with set guioptions-=m. So you have to place set! ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses=false after set guioptions-=m in your ~/.pentadactylrc.
– Dmitry AlexandrovJul 24, 2014 at 16:45@njsg What I said in previous comment is enough for FF 30, but not for FF 31 where you indeed need to set ui.key.menuAccessKey=0
– Dmitry AlexandrovJul 26, 2014 at 15:16I want the menu access key, but it's annoying when I change my mind about using an Alt combination and the menu bar activates. The setting FF could really do with is ui.key.menuAccessKeyTimeout. A timeout is sensible for something like this, so tapping the key will activate the behaviour, but pausing on it and changing your mind will have no effect. Xscape uses a timeout, for example.

I think this works better than the other answer, as that one matched lines with 4 commas. Of course this works with any character, just replace the commas... If you don't want to match less than nor more than 3 commas per line, I used this pattern:^[^,\n]*((,[^,\n]*){3}$)Explanation of each part of this pattern follows (because regular expressions are NOT obvious to me :-) ):^At the start of reg expression, means from the beginning of the line[^,\n]*Matches any number of characters that are not newline or comma(,[^,\n]*)This matches a single comma followed by zero or more characters that are not comma or newline{3}$This means to find the previous pattern exactly three times before the end of the line((,[^,\n]*){3}$)Be sure to put parenthesis around this part to make it clear what repeats three times (not the very first zero or more characters that are not a comma or newline)There may very well be a simpler way - but I've been testing and I'm pretty sure this works perfectly well in the current version of notepad++.ShareImprove this answer

Here's what worked for me:With the Win+ R combo summon services.msc.Right click on the service Avast Antivirus and click Stop.Before it stops, Avast will warn you that the service is being stopped. Only if you are confident that your computer is safe (and are more worried about the Avast using most of your CPU availability) click the Ok button and the service should stop.After a couple of minutes of stopping it, I restarted Avast. The load it put on my CPU after the restart was normal (i.e. less than 10%). ShareImprove this answer

Well, here's something you could do.If on Windows Vista/7: open your start menu, type cmd omitting the quotes, right click on cmd (looks like a black icon with c:\ on it) select Run As AdministratorIf on Windows 8+: press WinKey + F, type cmd omitting the quotes, right click on cmd (looks like a black icon with c:\ on it) select Run As AdministratorOnce in the Command Prompt it should look something like this:NB: I use Windows 8.1 Update, yours might look slightly different.Next, we need to type this:taskkill /F /IM AvastSvc.exeThis tells Windows to launch a command, taskkill (Task Killer), tells taskkill that it needs to /Force the program closed, and that the /IMage name is AvastSvc.exeOnce done, you can safely close the Command Prompt.ShareImprove this answer

On the Mac, running multiple instances of VLC is not supported out of the box.As workaround, you can run it from command prompt as:open -n /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC my_video.mp4Or can create a Droplet/App by pasting the code below into a new AppleScript Editor script and save it as an application:on run do shell script "open -n /Applications/VLC.app" tell application "VLC" to activateend runon open theFiles repeat with theFile in theFiles do shell script "open -na /Applications/VLC.app " & quote & (POSIX path of theFile) & quote end repeat tell application "VLC" to activateend openwhich does the following:launch the VLC droplet/app to get a separate instance of VLC,drop one or more files onto VLC droplet/app, orassociate your .mov, .avi, and other files directly with the VLC droplet/app, allowing you to simply click on the files to launch the files in a new standalone VLC session.File Association with the Droplet/App can be done as follows:Open Finder and find the video file of interest.Right click on the file (assumes you have right click enabled).Choose "Get Info".Under "Open with:", click dropdown and select the VLC droplet/app.Click "Change All" button.If prompted "are you sure", select "Yes".Source:How to play multiple instances of VLC at wiki.videolan.orgShareImprove this answer

One possibility is to use hdiutil's makehybrid option to create a hybrid HFS/ISO disk image, with the Mac files hidden in the ISO filesystem, and the Windows files hidden in the HFS filesystem. Here's an example from an earlier stackoverflow question:hdiutil makehybrid -o image.iso source_folder -iso -hfs -hide-iso cd_folder/application.app -hide-hfs "{cd_folder/application.exe,cd_folder/autorun.inf}"I haven't tested this, but I think that in order to get the hybrid structure onto the thumb drive intact, you'll need to mount the image, unmount (but not eject) the thumb drive, and then use dd to copy the raw data to the actual disk (I'm pretty sure you need to use the /dec/rdisk# entries, not the ones with the s# suffix).ShareImprove this answer

For me otvdm was the unofficial replacement of Ntvdm I was looking for. While 16 bits Windows uses protected mode, and thus doesn’t require real mode accessing at all unlike Microsoft is claiming (the requirement is 16‑bits segments access).It emulates the ᴄᴘᴜ either completely like Ntᴠᴅᴍ or through Intel Haxm for better performance, but it does so just in order to wrap Syscalls like Wine would do on Linux : no virtual Network card ; no Virtual hard disk (%systemdrive% is %systemdrive%) ; no allocated but unused memory ; and there’s the option I’m looking for but which is disabled by default : that changes written to the registry is done to the one of the system !It’s even more powerful than the official Ntᴠᴅᴍ : the transparent level of hardware access is so high that It should be possible to use the full processing power of original graphics hardware. Though there were no ᴀᴘɪ for doing that at that time…Like Ntᴠᴅᴍ, it’s launched transparently and automatically when a 16 bits program is encountered.The only bad point is the Windows 3.11 userland like the Program Manager isn’t included with this version (not even an open‑source clone of it) whereas even modern Windows 32‑bits Windows 10 contains it. But as it’s about exe, it should be possible to just copy from a 32 bits Windows in order to get them. It can be downloaded pre‑compiled here.ShareImprove this answer

The ANSI Escape sequences that are used by the terminal all start with Escape (^[), and as Vim is using those to communicate with the terminal, it gets confused when you map <Esc>. That's also why there are no problems in MacVim (and GVIM); those do not use the terminal and have different I/O channels.Mapping <Esc> in terminal Vim is just looking for trouble; please just choose another key.ShareImprove this answer

Protecting AWS against massive accesses | webserver;amazon-web-services;webserver;amazon-web-services | Protecting AWS against massive accesses

First let's look at AWS's explanation to what you are referencing here:https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/30 GB of Amazon Elastic Block Storage in any combination of General Purpose (SSD) or Magnetic, plus 2 million I/Os (with Magnetic) and 1 GB of snapshot storageThose I/Os are for direct accesses to disk and since your index.php file will be cached and loaded into memory, depending on what your index.php file is doing it is unlikely to have an impact on your I/O.One way to test and monitor your concern about a sudden surge of accesses and requests is to run the popular Bees with Machine Guns utility (https://github.com/newsapps/beeswithmachineguns) on your web application and monitor the impact in CloudWatch. CloudWatch by default monitors in 5 minute increments so be patient; if you change CloudWatch to monitor in 1 minute intervals you will be charged extra so be careful. Do note that since you will basically be running a denial of service attack on your instance you need to get permission from AWS to run the test in advance or risk having your AWS account suspended. (https://aws.amazon.com/security/penetration-testing)I think the easiest and probably cheapest way to secure your server from unwanted spikes in traffic or a full blown DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack would be to use a managed service like CloudFlare.com. You can of course use a security appliance like a Sophos UTM 9 or Imperva but you will need to know how to configure and maintain it in addition to extra hourly and licensing costs.AWS recently announced the AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) but it looks like you have to associate it to CloudFront. (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-waf)If you don't want to use any other tools then you will have to consistently monitor your web application and block unwanted requests when they come using Virtual Private Network (VPC) and Network Access Controls (NACLs) on your VPC subnets. While this will work, you might find yourself playing whack-a-mole if your site comes under frequent attack.Finally, the best way to protect your website is to use multiple layers of security (AKA Defense in Depth) so if you are not sure how to do that I recommend grabbing a cup of coffee (or two) and start learning at OWASP (The Open Web Application Security Project).

Windows requires the system folder $RECYCLE.BIN on each disk; these store "deleted" files until the Recycle Bin (which displays all files in each $RECYCLE.BIN together) is emptied. System Volume Information is a file required by the HDD file system and cannot be viewed while the drive is mounted. Empty the Recycle Bin, and if you still get an indication of an issue from ESET Nod 32, and ESET cannot remove the malware, try free AV tools such as Malwarebytes, https://www.malwarebytes.org/, which can run a single scan, so as to not interfere with another AV.ShareImprove this answer

Unfortunately no. Excel can only vary one item at a time and you have at least 4 variables to change.But, on the brighter side, you don't need the solver to get the best arrangement. First you calculate the cost per calorie. Select the lowest 2 (or 1) items from each group. You're done.ShareImprove this answer

answered Jan 25, 2015 at 2:59LDC3LDC32,21211 gold badge1313 silver badges1515 bronze badges4That was my initial reaction, but it isn't necessarily true. The lowest cost per calorie could use items that collectively exceed the $12 limit. This is probably a bad example used to illustrate the problem. In a general case, higher calorie counts within a food group could have higher cost. To stay within budget could require selecting foods with less calories or higher cost per calorie, but less item cost.
– fixer1234Jan 25, 2015 at 3:18@fixer1234 Using the above method, I get 1410 calories for $10.59. Since that leaves me with $1.41, I can include another item or switch items. Since switching items will give me fewer calories for a higher cost, it would be best to add another item. Also, some prices are based on supply and demand. Chuck steak may be $4.99/lb, but sirloin steak is nearly $15.99/lb, yet they have nearly the same calories.
– LDC3Jan 25, 2015 at 3:30In the example as stated, you are right. I assumed this was a made-up example just to illustrate the problem and the values weren't thought out. With real data, there could be conflicting choices. E.g., there could be a sale on bologna in a large economy package with a good price/pound. That could yield the lowest cost/calorie but the item price could be too high. Similarly, the best choices for three of the food groups could leave you with just enough money for a last item with a low item cost but high cost/calorie. For the general case, I think this might need VBA to iterate a solution.
– fixer1234Jan 25, 2015 at 4:17Thanks guys- I think I'm going to have to use MatLAB for this kind of problem. I didn't specify that I was trying to maximize my spend- an additional constraint that would seem to make a difference.

If you've recently installed Pushbullet or similar Chrome apps that use the clipboard, your problem may have an easy solution: turn off the app(s), or disable its copy/paste feature, and restart the computer.This is especially likely to work if, on rebooting your computer, the problem resolves temporarily and then relapses.(Apparently Adobe and Chrome don't like to share the clipboard, Chrome wins, and Adobe sulks.

NAT or not, you have different subnets and the way traffic routes from within a subnet and outside of a subnet works the same with IPv4. If you're on 10.1.2.0/24 and you send to anything else on 10.1.2.0/24, your traffic is not processed by the router. The device sees that the destination is on the same network and will use ARP to get the hardware address of the destination and the switch portion of the router will route the packets based on its ARP table to the correct device.If you're on 10.1.2.0/24 and you want to go to anything on 10.1.1.0/24, the client will see that the destination is not on the same network and will send it off to the appropriate gateway (in most cases the default unless you have a more complex routing scheme, but either way, a gateway). The gateway will look at the destination and see if it is on its own network, or needs to be transferred on. If it is on the same network it consults its ARP table and ARPs if necessary to send the packets to the correct device on its network. Since your router has an external address of 10.1.1.Y, something on 10.1.1.0/24 will be on its network, so it will just send the packet to the hardware address. In this case, the modem will never see the traffic.If it needs to go elsewhere, (eg an address on the other side of the modem), off it goes to the appropriate gateway - which will be 10.1.1.1, and that gateway will do the same, and pass it along to the most appropriate gateway it has for the destination and that pattern continues until it reaches its destination.How much traffic are you talking about here? What type of switch is that underneath the modem? Look at the backbone specs on that and make sure it can handle the traffic you're putting through it. That device sounds like it is the most plausible bottleneck in your described scenario.ShareImprove this answer

Why are you so sure your dd-wrt switch has an IP address? If you look up the DD-WRT wiki, it says that you can achieve a simple AP as follows:Simple VersionDisable DHCPConnect a LAN port to the main network / to the main Router's LAN portNow you have an AccessPoint only setup, where clients are served IP details from your main network or main Router.The WAN port is not connected, so it is not given an IP address. Switch functionality of course still works.Let me expand on this. DD-WRT, like OpenWRT or OpenWRTUSB, uses hostapd for setting up the AP. Since you have a remote DHCP server, the hostapd interface will have to be bridged with an ethernet interface, so that all DHCP-related traffic can be properly forwarded to the DHCP server: the alternative (a NAT configuration) assumes that the wifi clients are inserted in a different subnet, with addresses dished out locally.It is however a common misconception that bridges need an IP address to work: bridges are Layer-2 objects, not Layer-3. Having a bridge without an IP address means only that the device to which the ethernet and wifi interfaces belong cannot be reached from the network, that's all.The fact that bridges do not require an IP address to function properly is discussed in many places, I will just point you to the one where I first read it. Here it is stated that:It is worth mentioning at this point that it is perfectly possible for the bridge to be able to operate without having an IP address assigned to it. If this were the case, it would bridge packets between the two segments as shown above, but would not actually take part in any network exchanges on an IP level.Stated otherwise: the fact that you can connect to the SSID by no means implies that the SSID has any IP address of its own.Perhaps this is the reason why even a deep nma scan was unable to identify the address in question.EDIT:And yes, btw, I did test it on my Debian system. I do not expect it to be any different on DD-WRT.Share

Connect directly to the router via Ethernet cable, and disconnect all other connections to the router so that your computer is the only thing connected to it. Configure a static IP on your computer's IP address in the range that you normally use, then use Wireshark to capture some traffic. I would do the capture right after power cycling the router. You should be able to see any traffic the router is generating at that point.Share

– Alexander HolsgroveSep 3, 2014 at 14:421@AlexHolsgrove, yes, but there is at least one cable going from the homeplug to the router. I would just make sure that all the wireless devices that might be connected to that AP are turned off.

Firstly, how are you using nmap? If you do a ping scan and the router is configured to ignore ICMP it won't show. Try scanning for open ports through the whole range, likely 80 or 443 or whatever port the webinterface runs on. By the looks of it currently functions just as an AP and an Ethernet switch. As such it doesn't even need to have an ip address of it's own to function as it does right now. It will probably have an ip, but it might be in a different subnet altogether.The first thing to try is to social engineer yourself and remember if the ip range used in your network has changed between now and the last time you checked that router. Perhaps that pops up the old range and the static ip of the router. If that doesn't work you'll need to start scanning beyond your current subnet. Configure your local system with a fixed IP and scan the entire private range. You'll need 10.0.0.1 with subnet 255.0.0.0 and scan 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.1 with 255.240.0.0 and scan 172.16.0.0/12 and lastly 192.168.0.1 with subnet 255.255.0.0 and scan 192.168.0.0/16. Assuming it has an internal IP you should find it in one of those ranges. If you don't find it that way there won't be a way to configure it anyway since you can't talk to it. It might still be in some strange mode where it doesn't have an ip address of it's own.Share

Open the setup screen using F2 or ShiftS. The first page of that screen is dedicated to configuring header meters, so you can remove "CPUs" and add "CPU average".In recent htop versions, there also are "CPUs (1&2/4)" and "CPUs (3&4/4)" meters showing two cores per line, though this is more of use on 8–32 core systems.To save two more lines, open the "Display options" page and turn off "Leave a margin around header".Share

Based on grawity's answer, you can create a configuration that you like on a different machine and then copy it to the machine where the problem occurs.The configuration is saved (under Debian) under ~/.config/htop/htoprc.On a machine where you can see past the header:Press F2 to get into the configuration.Move left to the "Left Column"Move down to select "CPU" and press F9 to delete it.From the right most column select "CPU Average" and press F5 to insert it instead.F10 let's you leave the menu.copy ~/.config/htop/htoprc to the larger machine.In my case (120 cores) a configuration with "CPUs (1&2/4)" on the left side of the header, and "CPUs (3&4/4)" on the right side of the header looks good. As a result, the header takesup about half the screen and the other half lists the processes. Each line in the header shows four CPUs which is fine for me.Sample configuration:# Beware!

Say you set up your data validation lists on Sheet2, and you set up your first data validation on Sheet1!A2. And you wanted to change the validation of Sheet1!B2 based on what was selected in Sheet1!A2. You would place this code in the worksheet module for Sheet1:CodeSub worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range)If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2")) Is Nothing Then If Target.Value = "one" Then With Range("B2").Validation .Delete .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:="=Sheet2!B1:B2" End With End If If Target.Value = "two" Then With Range("B2").Validation .Delete .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:="=Sheet2!B3:B4" End With End If If Target.Value = "three" Then With Range("B2").Validation .Delete.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:="=Sheet2!B5:B6" End With End IfEnd IfEnd SubThen you would set up additional if statements for each additional list that you want to add validation to.ExplanationBasically this is saying if there's a change on the worksheet, check to see if it's at A2 and it contains a value. This value will only be within your data validation sheet. So if these things are true then:Check for each possible value and then set the data validation of B2 to the possibilities defined in your data validation list as referenced.Expand the possibilities to fit your data and add additional tiers for additional lists.Share

If by wipe you mean clear the contents of your hard drive, it will have wiped the Operating System for the device. This means that it wont be able to run Windows as it is not installed. if you have no back up disks or install disks that you should have got with the machine, then the only way to make it function will be to buy a new copy of Windows. you could also use a downloaded installer for Windows if you have the product key on the bottom of your machine, this will save you £80 pound upward (Depending on whether you chose windows 7, 8 etc). Although this will obviously require a working computer to download.If the wipe Option was just to restore to factory default, this may indicate that the Hard Drive was damaged indefinitely due to the drop and is unable to read. you may need a new hard drive and use the first method above.Share

After investigation, I want to say, this Error message has NOTHING related with my specified localtion!!!!The real reason is, there's a configure for autoloading vimrc changes while saving vimrc file. Because I found this error ONLY shows in saving vimrc file:autocmd! bufwritepost $HOME/.marslo/.vimrc source % And, I checked the Line 19 in syntax/synload.vim:17 " Set the default highlighting colors. Use a color scheme if specified.18 if exists("colors_name")19 exe "colors " . colors_name20 else21 runtime! syntax/syncolor.vim22 endif That means, the error shows： source vimrc -> exe colors marslo256. I don't know the reason yet. However, I found the WORKAROUND for prevent error shows: FORCE SILENT, the configure would looks like:autocmd! bufwritepost $HOME/.marslo/.vimrc silent! source %And everything's fine. Details can be found at vim_dev google group.Root CauseFinally, finally, the root cause shows up!!!!The reason of this error shows, is syntax is enabled before the sepcified location is added into vim runtimepath.The solution is Move line 19(syntax enable on) to Line 97 (the end part of Vundle).Line20(filetype plugin indent on) can be removed (it's okay if it's keep),because this setting is duplicated with Line96.Details can be found at vim_dev google groupShare

When you are up to your neck in alligators, it’s easy to forget that the goal was to drain the swamp. — popular sayingThe question is about echo,and yet the majority of the answers so farhave focused on how to sneak a set +x command in. There’s a much simpler, more direct solution:{ echo "Message"; } 2> /dev/null(I acknowledge that I might not have thought of the { …; } 2> /dev/nullif I hadn’t seen it in the earlier answers.)This is somewhat cumbersome, but,if you have a block of consecutive echo commands,you don’t need to do it on each one individually:{ echo "The quick brown fox" echo "jumps over the lazy dog."} 2> /dev/nullNote that you don’t need semicolons when you have newlines.You can reduce the typing burden by using kenorb’s ideaof opening /dev/null permanentlyon a non-standard file descriptor (e.g., 3)and then saying 2>&3 instead of 2> /dev/null all the time.The first four answers at the time of this writingrequire doing something special (and, in most cases, cumbersome)every time you do an echo. If you really want all echo commandsto suppress the execution trace (and why wouldn’t you?),you can do so globally, without munging a lot of code. First, I noticed that aliases aren’t traced:$ myfunc()> {>date> }$ alias myalias="date"$ set -x$ date+ dateMon, Oct 31, 2016 0:00:00 AM # Happy Halloween!$ myfunc+ myfunc # Note that function call is traced.+ dateMon, Oct 31, 2016 0:00:01 AM$ myalias+ date # Note that it doesn’t say + myaliasMon, Oct 31, 2016 0:00:02 AM(Note that the following script snippetswork if the shebang is #!/bin/sh, even if /bin/sh is a link to bash. But, if the shebang is #!/bin/bash,you need to add a shopt -s expand_aliases commandto get aliases to work in a script.)So, for my first trick:alias echo='{ set +x; } 2> /dev/null; builtin echo'Now, when we say echo "Message",we’re calling the alias, which doesn’t get traced. The alias turns off the trace option,while suppressing the trace message from the set command(using the technique presented first in user5071535’s answer),and then executes the actual echo command. This lets us get an effect similar to that of user5071535’s answerwithout needing to edit the code at every echo command. However, this leaves trace mode turned off. We can’t put a set -x into the alias (or at least not easily)because an alias only allows a string to be substituted for a word;no part of the alias string can be injected into the commandafter the arguments (e.g., "Message"). So, for example, if the script containsdateecho "The quick brown fox"echo "jumps over the lazy dog."datethe output would be+ dateMon, Oct 31, 2016 0:00:03 AMThe quick brown foxjumps over the lazy dog.Mon, Oct 31, 2016 0:00:04 AM # Note that it doesn’t say + dateso you still need to turn the trace option back onafter displaying message(s) —but only once after every block of consecutive echo commands: dateecho "The quick brown fox"echo "jumps over the lazy dog."set -xdateIt would be nice if we could make the set -x automaticafter an echo — and we can, with a bit more trickery. But before I present that, consider this. The OP is starting with scripts that use a #!/bin/sh -ex shebang. Implicitly the user could remove the x from the shebangand have a script that works normally, without execution tracing. It would be nice if we could develop a solution that retains that property. The first few answers here fail that propertybecause they turn tracing “back” on after echo statements,unconditionally, without regard to whether it was already on. This answer conspicuously fails to recognize that issue,as it replaces echo output with trace output;therefore, all the messages vanish if tracing is turned off. I will now present a solution that turns tracing back onafter an echo statement conditionally — only if it was already on. Downgrading this to a solution that turns tracing “back” onunconditionally is trivial and is left as an exercise.alias echo='{ save_flags="$-"; set +x;} 2> /dev/null; echo_and_restore'echo_and_restore() { builtin echo "$*" case "$save_flags" in (*x*) set -x esac}$- is the options list; a concatenation of the letterscorresponding to all the options that are set. For example, if the e and x options are set,then $- will be a jumble of letters that includes e and x. My new alias (above) saves the value of $- before turning tracing off. Then, with tracing turned off,it throws control over into a shell function. That function does the actual echoand then checks to see whether the x option was turned onwhen the alias was invoked. If the option was on, the function turns it back on;if it was off, the function leaves it off.You can insert the above seven lines (eight, if you include an shopt)at the beginning of the scriptand leave the rest alone.This would allow youto use any of the following shebang lines:#!/bin/sh -ex#!/bin/sh -e#!/bin/sh –xor just plain#!/bin/shand it should work as expected.to have code like(shebang)command1command2command3set -xcommand4command5command6set +xcommand7command8command9andCommands 4, 5, and 6 will be traced — unless one of them is an echo,in which case it will be executed but not traced. (But even if command 5 is an echo, command 6 still will be traced.)Commands 7, 8, and 9 will not be traced. Even if command 8 is an echo, command 9 still will not be traced.Commands 1, 2, and 3 will be traced (like 4, 5, and 6)or not (like 7, 8, and 9) depending on whether the shebang includes x.P.S. I have discovered that, on my system,I can leave out the builtin keyword in my middle answer(the one that’s just an alias for echo). This is not surprising; bash(1) says that, during alias expansion, …… a word that is identical to an alias being expanded is not expanded a second time. This means that one may alias ls to ls -F, for instance, and bash does not try to recursively expand the replacement text.Not too surprisingly, the last answer (the one with echo_and_restore)fails if the builtin keyword is omitted1. But, oddly it works if I delete the builtin and switch the order:echo_and_restore() { echo "$*" case "$save_flags" in (*x*) set -x esac}alias echo='{ save_flags="$-"; set +x;} 2> /dev/null; echo_and_restore'__________1 It seems to give rise to undefined behavior. I’ve seenan infinite loop (probably because of unbounded recursion),a /dev/null: Bad address error message, anda core dump.Share

If anybody can present a way to do the equivalent of echo +x; echo "$*"; echo -x in an alias, I’d like to see it.
– G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica'Nov 1, 2016 at 3:20I wonder what is the difference between { echo foo; } 2> /dev/null and (echo foo) 2> /dev/null. Both work for me and the latter looks a bit more straightforward...
– Grigory EntinMar 4, 2020 at 17:211@G-ManSays'ReinstateMonica' Yep, thanks for clarification. Yep, I read that thread about (exit 1) and understand the difference, the fact that () is forking subshells and etc. My case is pretty simple (just some config tooling), and I rather interested in readability (especially for people not experienced in shells)/correctness in terms of exit statuses and etc rather than performance. So leaving performance aside, it looks like for echo it's quite ok to use () in my case.
– Grigory EntinMar 5, 2020 at 9:591@BryanRoach: (1) I covered that already: “Note that the following script snippets work if the shebang is #!/bin/sh, even if /bin/sh is a link to bash. But, if the shebang is #!/bin/bash, you need to add a shopt -s expand_aliases command to get aliases to work in a script.” (2) Please learn how quoting works. Your code doesn’t work properly for printf, and it has the same problem with echo that my answer has (identified by MoonLite).
– G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica'Jun 29, 2022 at 17:171@G-ManSays'ReinstateMonica' (1) Oh, sorry! I should have checked more carefully. (2) My code works for the simple case of passing one string to print, but we can support all cases. None of the answers have gotten the quoting right. Instead of "$*" or $* it should be "$@".

I found a partial solution over at InformIT:#!/bin/bash -exset +x; echo "shell tracing is disabled here"; set -x;echo "but is enabled here"outputsset +x; shell tracing is disabled here + echo "but is enabled here"but is enabled hereUnfortunately, that still echoes set +x, but at least it's quiet after that.so it's at least a partial solution to the problem.But is there maybe a better way to do this? :)Share

I love the comprehensive and well explained answer by g-man, and consider it the best one provided so far. It cares about the context of the script, and doesn't force configurations when they aren't needed. So, if you're reading this answer first go ahead and check that one, all the merit is there.However, in that answer there is an important piece missing: the proposed method won't work for a typical use case, i.e. reporting errors:COMMAND || echo "Command failed!"Due to how the alias is constructed, this will expand toCOMMAND || { save_flags="$-"; set +x; } 2>/dev/null; echo_and_restore "Command failed!"and you guessed it, echo_and_restore gets executed always, unconditionally. Given that the set +x part didn't run, it means that the contents of that function will get printed, too.Changing the last ; to && wouldn't work either, because in Bash, || and && are left-associative.I found a modification which works for this use case:echo_and_restore() { cat - case "$save_flags" in (*x*) set -x esac}alias echo='({ save_flags="$-"; set +x; } 2>/dev/null; echo_and_restore) <<<'It uses a subshell (the (...) part) in order to group all commands, and then passes the input string through stdin as a Here String (the <<< thing) which is then printed by cat -. The - is optional, but you know, "explicit is better than implicit".The cat - can be changed to personalize the output. For example, to prepend the name of the currently running script, you could change the function to something like this:echo_and_restore() { local BASENAME; BASENAME="$(basename "$0")" # File name of the current script. echo "[$BASENAME] $(cat -)" case "$save_flags" in (*x*) set -x esac}And now it works beautifully:false || echo "Command failed"> [test.sh] Command failedShare

Put set +x inside the brackets, so it would apply for local scope only.For example:#!/bin/bash -xexec 3<> /dev/null(echo foo1 $(set +x)) 2>&3($(set +x) echo foo2) 2>&3( set +x; echo foo3 ) 2>&3truewould output:$ ./foo.sh + execfoo1foo2foo3+ trueShare

answered Dec 11, 2015 at 21:03kenorbkenorb23.5k2626 gold badges122122 silver badges186186 bronze badges31Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the set +x inside the subshell (or using subshells at all) is doing anything useful. You can remove it and get the same result. It's the redirecting stderr to /dev/null that is doing the work of temporarily "disabling" tracing... It seems echo foo1 2>/dev/null, etc., would be just as effective, and more readable.
– Tyler RickDec 10, 2018 at 19:33Having tracing in your script could impact performance. Secondly redirecting &2 to NULL could be not the same, when you expect some other errors.
– kenorbDec 10, 2018 at 22:151Correct me if I'm wrong, but in your example you already have tracing enabled in your script (with bash -x) and you are already redirecting &2 to null (since &3 was redirected to null), so I'm not sure how that comment is relevant. Maybe we just need a better example that illustrates your point, but in the given example at least, it still seems like it could be simplified without losing any benefit.

Execution trace goes to stderr, filter it this way:./script.sh 2> >(grep -v "^+ echo " >&2)Some explanation, step by step:stderr is redirected… – 2>…to a command. – >(…)grep is the command……which requires beginning of the line… – ^…to be followed by + echo ……then grep inverts the match… – -v…and that discards all the lines you don't want.The result would normally go to stdout; we redirect it to stderr where it belongs. – >&2The problem is (I guess) this solution may desynchronize the streams. Because of filtering stderr may be a little late in relation to stdout (where echo output belongs by default). To fix it you can join the streams first if you don't mind having them both in stdout:./script.sh > >(grep -v "^+ echo ") 2>&1You can build such a filtering into the script itself but this approach is prone to desynchronization for sure (i.e. it has occurred in my tests: execution trace of a command might appear after the output of immediately following echo).The code looks like this:#!/bin/bash -x{ # original script here # …} 2> >(grep -v "^+ echo " >&2)Run it without any tricks:./script.shAgain, use > >(grep -v "^+ echo ") 2>&1 to maintain the synchronization at the cost of joining the streams.Another approach. You get "a bit redundant" and strange-looking output because your terminal mixes stdout and stderr. These two streams are different animals for a reason. Check if analyzing stderr only fits your needs; discard stdout:./script.sh > /dev/nullIf you have in your script an echo printing debug/error message to stderr then you may get rid of redundancy in a way described above. Full command:./script.sh > /dev/null 2> >(grep -v "^+ echo " >&2)This time we are working with stderr only, so desynchronization is no longer a concern. Unfortunately this way you won't see a trace nor output of echo that prints to stdout (if any). We could try to rebuild our filter to detect redirection (>&2) but if you look at echo foobar >&2, echo >&2 foobar and echo "foobar >&2" then you will probably agree that things get complicated.A lot depends on echos you have in your script(s). Think twice before you implement some complex filter, it may backfire. It's better to have a bit of redundancy than to accidentally miss some crucial information.Instead of discarding execution trace of an echo we can discard its output – and any output except the traces. To analyze execution traces only, try:./script.sh > /dev/null 2> >(grep "^+ " >&2)Foolproof? No. Think what will happen if there's echo "+ rm -rf --no-preserve-root /" >&2 in the script. Somebody might get heart attack.And finally…Fortunately there is BASH_XTRACEFD environmental variable. From man bash:BASH_XTRACEFDIf set to an integer corresponding to a valid file descriptor, bash will write the trace output generated when set -x is enabled to that file descriptor.We can use it like this:(exec 3>trace.txt; BASH_XTRACEFD=3 ./script.sh)less trace.txtNote the first line spawns a subshell. This way the file descriptor won't stay valid nor the variable assigned in the current shell afterwards.Thanks to BASH_XTRACEFD you can analyze traces free of echos and any other outputs, whatever they may be. It's not exactly what you wanted but my analysis makes me think this is (in general) The Right Way.Of course you can use another method, especially when you need to analyze stdout and/or stderr along with your traces. You just need to remember there are certain limitations and pitfalls. I tried to show (some of) them.Share

Editied 29 Oct 2016 per moderator suggestions that the original did not contain enough information to understand what is happening.This "trick" produces just one line of message output at the terminal when xtrace is active:The original question is Is there a way to leave -x enabled, but only output Message instead of the two lines. This is an exact quote from the question.I understand the question to be, how to "leave set -x enabled AND produce a single line for a message"?In the global sense, this question is basically about aesthetics -- the questioner wants to produce a single line instead of the two virtually duplicate lines produced while xtrace is active.So in summary, the OP requires:To have set -x in effectProduce a message, human readableProduce only a single line of message output.The OP does not require that the echo command be used. They cited it as an example of message production, using the abbreviation e.g. which stands for Latin exempli gratia, or "for example".Thinking "outside the box" and abandoning the use of echo to produce messages, I note that an assignment statement can fulfill all requirements.Do an assignment of a text string (containing the message) to an inactive variable.Adding this line to a script doesn't alter any logic, yet produces a single line when tracing is active: (If you are using the variable $echo, just change the name to another unused variable)echo="====================== Divider line ================="What you will see on the terminal is only 1 line:++ echo='====================== Divider line ================='not two, as the OP dislikes:+ echo '====================== Divider line ================='====================== Divider line =================Here is sample script to demonstrate.

In a Makefile you could use the @ symbol. Example Usage: @echo 'message'From this GNU doc:When a line starts with ‘@’, the echoing of that line is suppressed. The ‘@’ is discarded before the line is passed to the shell. Typically you would use this for a command whose only effect is to print something, such as an echo command to indicate progress through the makefile.Share

I couldn't find a way to convince Outlook to reconnect to the server, short of restarting it or disabling and (painfully) reenabling the network interface.So what I do is to unplug and plug back in the virtual cable between the VM and the host with the following VBoxCableReconnect script. Of course the script is specific to VirtualBox, but I expect that similar things are possible with other VM technologies.#! /usr/bin/env perluse strict;use warnings;sub vbox_list { my %vms; my ($running) = @_; my $what = $running ? 'runningvms' : 'vms'; local $ENV{LC_ALL} = 'C'; open VBOX, "VBoxManage list -l $what |" or die 'VBoxManage: $!'; local $/ = "\n\n\n"; while (my $section = <VBOX>) { my %vm = (); $section =~ s/\n\n.*//s; # strip shared folders, etc. foreach my $line (split /\n/, $section) { $line =~ s/\A([^:]+):\s+// or next; $vm{$1} = $line; } $vms{$vm{UUID}} = {%vm}; } close VBOX; return %vms;}sub vbox_list_cables { my ($vms) = @_; my @cables; foreach my $vm (values %$vms) { my %vm = %$vm; foreach my $key (keys %vm) { next unless $key =~ /\ANIC *([0-9]+)\z/; my $num = $1; if ($vm{$key} =~ /(^|, )Cable connected: on($|, )/) { push @cables, [$vm{UUID}, $vm{Name}, $num]; } } } return @cables;}sub vbox_iterate_cableconnected { my ($cables, $onoff) = @_; foreach my $cable (@$cables) { my ($uuid, $name, $num) = @$cable; system 'VBoxManage', 'controlvm', $uuid, "setlinkstate$num", $onoff; # TODO: report errors }}my %vms = vbox_list(1);my @cables = vbox_list_cables(\%vms);vbox_iterate_cableconnected(\@cables, 'off');sleep(1);vbox_iterate_cableconnected(\@cables, 'on');Run this as the user running the VM when bringing up a network interface on the host.Share
