    I found one, do not recall the name /type , but it would not start. I guess I could go back and remove the two I have added and note the one which is in there. I really suspect it is broken. But I need to learn how to work with the wireless adapter, so I ma taking that route for now. Cheers Vaclav

You'll need a server (under your administration), it's that simple. Either one that's online, or on-site. Could be a cheap Raspberri Pi in a lockable box. Then you could have each client tell that server when it is online, and under which user. If a user is already online, simply tell the second instance (over TCP/IP e.g.) that it should shut down. Encrypt your connection and include a timestamp to prevent people from recording and playing back sessions. Also be sure to implement a heart-beat to your server; that's the easiest way to detect when a connection is dropped, or a process died. See, access to your application can be blocked; but blocking the machine would be considered a hostile act :) Bastard Programmer from Hell :suss: If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

    Check underneath [(HKLM/HKCU)\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\(Run/RunOnce etc.)] and corresponding entries under Wow6432Node. Seems like a binary entry of "02 00..." means that it's enabled. The disabled entries is a bit more in a disarray though. Wrong is evil and must be defeated. - Jeff Ello[^]

    cravi85 wrote: the test page also printing along with other pages Does that mean: it does always print the "test page" first, and afterwards the document is printed correctly? Well, in that case, it is a configuration issue to be fixed in your specific Linux system; better inquire in a forum of that Linux distribution because every Linux is different from every other distribution...

    Hi Aatif, Not sure as which OS you have installe don your machine. But here is the solution: on Windows XP - Open registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace Locate the following Key and Delete te key {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} If you are runing Vista Right Click on Recyclin Bin and Delete the Key If you have Windows 7. You do not have the option to Delete the Recyclin bin. However you can make that Disable. Go to Control Panel > Apperanced and personlaisation > on the Left hand Navigation List select change Desktop Icons and Uncheck recyclin Bin. Recyclin Bin is disappered. To enable back follow the same steps and check the Recyclin bin option in change Desktop Icons. Hope this helps Regards Adeeb

    I could of course just send you my copy, but I doubt that that will arrive in Oz before you get it from Apel. I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

  • How does this hack with referrers work?

    I'd like to add some further thoughts about that problem. The awstats.pl script provided a page with links - and everyone could add his favorite into this list: just send a GET request to any page of my site with a forged referer (any library for sending http requests allows for setting any referer), and it will then show up on the script page. Why would you want to do so? It is believed that you get a better rank with search engines when your site is linked from many other sites. And in fact, several "referers" contained "seo" (like Search Engine Optimization) in their domain/subdomain or page name. And many other sites were likely added by such SEO bastards. Actually, back in 2010 a Russian web pharmacy was the first to massively use my site for that purpose. But there is another group: they show "cheats" for games, provide links to cracked games, or even more criminal key generators. I guess they simply try to obfuscate their origin - my page is linked from somewhere, from here you get to a youtube video explaining their hack and showing a link to the next page to get the desired product. Perhaps other uses are possible, but that's the idea I've come up with.

    Well, of course I understand why it is there :-D. When using Mouse without borders in the office with my main computer together with my laptop this is not happening and resolutions of both devices are completely different. This could be implemented and it would improve the experience in most of the situations as there are really not much applications that are using the first pixel of the display, typically there are margins around that would avoid the mess to happen. I've been wondering if anyone has developed that already... [www.tamautomation.com] | Robots, CNC and PLC machines for grinding and polishing. [YouTube channel]
