Simple copy through SSH
Loading ...Copying files between remote machines can be easily done
using SCP command.
The syntax is:
copy from a remote machine to my machine:
scp user@192.168.0.1:/home/file.txt /home/x.txt
copy from my machine to a remote machine:
scp /home/x.txt user@192.168.0.1:/home/x.txt
copy all x*.txt from a remote machine to my machine (x01.txt, x02.txt, etc.)
scp “user@192.168.0.1:/home/x*.txt” /home/x.txt
copy a directory from a remote machine to my machine:
scp -r user@192.168.0.1:/home/folder /home/
Steadfast’s Litespeed based shared webhosting
(2 votes, average: 4.5 out of 5)I recently switched my shared webhost from Hostgator and previously to that from Godaddy to Steadfast Networks. This switch was made in my search for some fast and reliable servers. I read many good reviews about them and I wanted also to test the Litespeed based webservers. I was very pleasantly impressed with this and Apache lost my vote for the moment. One of the main things that struck me was a plugin used for this blog, called Google XML Sitemaps. When you rebuild your sitemap manually it show you in one of the status lines how much time it took and how much memory it used. On Godaddy I had to raise the memory limit to 16, because it used around 10-12 MB of memory, and took about 6 seconds to complete. On Hostgator about the same, but when I copied my blog to Steadfast, besides the obvious increase in browsing speed, I saw:
“The building process took about 1.22 seconds to complete and used 1.5 MB of memory.”
That’s why from now on, after bouncing from webhost to webhost, I will remain with Steadfast until I will be disappointed with something (hopely not too soon).
“RUN” Command in Windows Mobile
“Run” Command in Windows Mobile does not exists in the menu, but it can be raised by holding the action middle button (for my Eten X800 this is the joystick) and simultaneously taping and holding the clock icon in the upper toolbar. When you release the action button you will have a context menu with Run and Clock. By taping run you will have a standard “Run” box in which you can enter any path to any executable on your mobile device.
Dell Wireless and Ubuntu Hardy Heron
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with the Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card, one that has given many Linux users big headaches.
After trying many different approaches suggested all over the web, and gathering clues in many Ubuntu forum posts, I finally worked out this solution:
First of all you must check if you have the correct card:
lspci -nn | grep 14e4
Result: 05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI [14e4:4311 (rev 01)]
Then proceed to the first step:
1. blacklist bcm43xx
echo blacklist bcm43xx | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
2. install ndiswrapper and related files
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndisgtk
Dell Inspiron 1520 linux sound too low
When volume of the sound captured is too low, even with system sound volume set to maximum level, do the following:
1. Open the GNOME volume control tool:
$ gnome-volume-control
2. Select Edit -> Preferences and verify the following tracks are visible: PCM, Front, Capture, Mux and Digital. Click Close when done.
3. In the Options tab, verify that the Input Source is set to “Mic”.
4. To maximize volume of recorded sound: In the Recording tab, adjust the “Capture”, “Mix” and “Digital” sliders higher to raise the volume level of the captured audio. Click on the microphone icon on the bottom if it has a red cross on it to unmute it.
5. To maximize volume of playback sound: In the Playback tab, adjust the “PCM”, “Front” and “Surround” sliders higher to raise the volume level.
When the overall sound volume is too low, you should:
1. Right click on speaker icon in system tray, and select “Open Volume Control”
2. Go to Edit: Preferences
3. Put a check next to Front. Hit OK
4. Turn Front volume all the way up.
5. Now the master volume control raises and lowers the volume between much greater extremes.
Command Window in Vista Setup
If you found yourself in the position of needing something from the Vista installation disk, you can always raise a Command Prompt Window, and navigate to that location. For example you need the product key so you can copy - paste it rather than typing it by hand.
During the GUI phase of the installation you can press the SHIFT + F10 keys, and you will have yourself a Command Window. From this you can navigate to a text file, or run regedit.exe or any other executable Vista copied to the installation folder on the hard disk.
Thank you Daniel Petri, for this information.
Changing Remote Desktop Port
Remote Desktop is disabled by default in Windows Vista, but it’s easy enough to turn it back on. If you need to access your Vista PC from another box, it’s an essential thing to turn on.
To get to the configuration page, you can either right-click the Computer icon and choose properties, or you can type in system into the start menu search box, and then System.
Now you’ll want to click the Remote Settings link on the left hand side.
Check “Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer” and “Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop” (this means that you can access your remote computer using Windows XP also).
Note: This will not work for Home editions of Windows Vista.
Alternative deal for Yahoo
Icahn launched a proxy campaign on Thursday to replace Yahoo’s board with directors who would reopen talks with Microsoft, saying Yahoo had acted irrationally in refusing the giant software company’s $47.5 billion bid.
Microsoft walked away from its pursuit of Yahoo two weeks ago after three months of negotiations when Yahoo’s board rejected Microsoft’s sweetened offer of $33 a share, saying the company was worth at least $37 a share. Read more

Bad news for Japanese teen smokers
Japan may soon be able to assess the age of the buyer, based on the count of the wrinkles, crow’s feet and skin sags, and thus determining if the client is old enough to be allowed to smoke (in Japan, the legal age for smoking is 20).
This new technology, developed by the Fujitaka Co. based on the study of facial traits, may begin to be used starting with July. As the customer will look into a digital camera connected to the machine, the system will analyze everything, focusing on facial details, like wrinkles around the eyes, bone structure and skin sags. The system was developed after a research that was made on the images of over 100,000 people. Read more
