This question asks how to delete a locked file in Windows XP.
The answers in there don't apply to Windows Vista 64.

I was asked this today by a friend, and not being an expert in this field all I could say was,

Is there a good quicklist of todo's to ensure that things go "back to normal"?
In computing, a shebang (also called a sha-bang, hashbang, pound-bang, hash-exclam, or hash-pling) is the character sequence consisting of the characters number sign and exclamation mark (that is, "#!") when it occurs as the initial two characters on the initial line of a script.
Under Unix-like operating systems, when a script with a shebang is run as a program, the program loader parses the rest of the script's initial line as an interpreter directive; the specified interpreter program is run instead, passing to it as an argument the path that was initially used when attempting to run ...

You can prioritize network connections by doing the following.
Open up Network and Sharing center
Click on Change adapter settings
Hit ALT
Go to the advanced menu

This question came up over in Root Access.
Why does the default /etc/crontab not check for existence (and executable flag) of /usr/sbin/anacron for the hourly entry?
My /etc/crontab:
# m h dom mon dow user command

Ubuntu started in 2004, and is based on Debian. By then, the current crontab was present, so we get to trace through Debian history to find its origins.
Here is the crontab from Debian 0.93R6 (November 1995). The hour is present, but the minute is different for the cron.daily entry:

I have created a file called ntpdate in /etc/cron.hourly
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian

I also did Chmod 755 to this file.
However, I can't tell if the file has run or not!
The file is not created in any...
anacron is running on a daily basis. It is not built to let jobs run on a hourly basis, so it is useless to test for anacron when an hourly job is started.
The other regularly executed jobs should only be executed by cron, when anacron is not installed.
I'm ripping DVDs using a series of calls like
mplayer -dumpfile foo$i.vob -dumpstream dvd://$i
and using lsdvd to list the available streams to rip. Here is an example command I wrote for this
for i in $(lsdvd 2>&1 | egrep "^Title" | sed -e 's|Title: \(..\).*|\1|g');
do mplayer -dum...
