Root Access

Ah. Forgot about that. Thanks @Sathya

@HackToHell do you want the question or is it OK if it remains deleted?

They should change that to say "automatically deleted by community♦" or something like that.

Or have it automatically flag it "Auto delete due to <x>" and then have community delete it and mark the flag as valid.

@nhinkle: though if it was recently downvoted, wouldn't it be a way of closing the question bypassing the usual methods?

2:50 AM

@nhinkle I donno

@JourneymanGeek i suppose?

Sathya

there's a bug about auto delete

which I spotted on MSO

bug/feature request not sure, where the auto-delete should kick in after the -1 has come

@HackToHell you said in the comments that you fixed it yourself, but you never self-answered, so I'm inclined to believe there's no good reason to reopen it.

@nhinkle That self-answer is a thing pending in my to-do list, @JourneymanGeek told me to answer that ages ago xD and ok about leaving it deleted.

See, this is why i should be listened to ;p

even when i forgot i said that ;p

2:52 AM

Then do my homework for me ;p

lol

@HackToHell: I actually use SU and SF to document problems since it helps me do rubber duck/stuffed wolf debugging ;p

So, least for me, if i can spend time troubleshooting, i can spend time answering ;p

rubber duck? stuffed wolf?

lol

codinghorror.com/blog/2012/03/rubber-duck-problem-solving.html

(I have a load of stuffed wolves for some reason, so i refer it to stuffed wolf/plush wolf debugging

ohhh

sup guys

oh my, someone else does rubber duck debugging too??!

3:05 AM

lol

@JourneymanGeek I scribble it down in my dairy ;)

pre SU, i'd settle to talking to computers

which also works ;p

@JourneymanGeek I used to talk to my cat, it was an avid listener ;p

3:21 AM

lol

my dog hangs around when i do hardware

he finds software boring tho.

lol

i can imagine.

i used to talk to the dino but he doesn't really respond much ;p

3:43 AM

responding isn't important ;p

hmm

what's the current/updated auto comments script?

1.2.4?

naw, i mean, a link ;p

stackapps.com/questions/2116/… this one?

oh yes

same script.

bahaha

lol

5:45 AM

so I can delete a old quesion with no votes and anssers by down voting it without a check from anyone else - maybe there should be a delay after the downvote before the delete kicks in. — Ian Ringrose May 20 '11 at 9:43

Any apple experts awake?

7:03 AM

Any AutoHot key experts here ?

Saturday is a boring day in Root Access :/

yep

@HackToHell Depends what you want to do...

@Bob I want to launch Everything on pressing Ctrl+Alt+q without the Run as Administrator prompt

It's simple but apk is extremely weird for me :/

7:21 AM

@HackToHell "Everything"?

lol gusnyc.com/10-possible-future-apple-products

@Bob srry voidtools.com

@HackToHell ...I could just imagine them suing bicycle manufacturers...

It's a software

@Bob It has a wheel and we own the patent for that xD

A: How to Run an app as Administrator without the prompt?

@HackToHell Running it woud be easy. Bypassing the UAC prompt... not so much

Some methods described in this answer:

2

Read the following forum post: How to disable the User Account Control Prompt for certain application It tells you basically, that you have to download Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.6 and create a custom App fix database where you assign the 'RunAsAdmin' fix to the exe. I tried i...

The AHK script itself is pretty simple, something like ^!q::Run "path to executable"

@Bob Bypassing UAC using scheduled tasks is awesome ;)

7:34 AM

@HackToHell Pretty weird, too :P

I was thinking something with runas, but that probably wouldn't have worked

@Bob That requires the password to be entered, I tried doing it with that, could not get it working properly

Daniel Beck

good morning everyone

@bob thanks, got it working

@DanielBeck good morning db

@HackToHell Scheduled task?

@Bob yep

7:44 AM

@HackToHell Cool, I'll have to remember that :P

@Bob Now I want the command to be run only is Everything is not running, I tried this pastebin.com/WnZKzBJb but it did not work, where did I go wrong ?

ah

firstly, are you sure the ahk_class is EVERYTHING?

Use the AutoIt3 Window Spy that comes with AHK to check

Secondly, you can't use IfWinActive like that.

You can have that kind of check within the hotkey

@Bob I found that using Window spy so it's correct

@Bob Ah yes, I am being dumb xD

Or you can use a directive, like #IfWinActive. In this case, probably something like this:

#IfWinNotExist ahk_class EVERYTHING
^!q::Run schtasks /run /tn Everything

@HackToHell No you're not, AHK is just confusing at first :P

pastebin.com/YtP4Qjjg This does work either

7:54 AM

@HackToHell Ok, so you want to show the window if it's there? Hmm..

I'm not sure, but perhaps:

^!q::
IfWinExist ahk_class EVERYTHING
{
    WinActivate
}
else
{
    Run schtasks /run /tn Everything
}
return

You can specify an argument for WinActivate, but if you don't it'll just use the last one found (by IfWinExist in this case)

@Bob That's nt working too

@HackToHell In what way?

It worked for me with Notepad

@Bob The scheduled task is only run, the window is not brought up

hm

Can you confirm the class is correct?

Also, the Window is not minimized but in the notif area so it needs double click to activate

8:00 AM

The class is case sensitive

@HackToHell That... might be an issue.

@Bob That's the issue :/

It works if it is in the task bar

@HackToHell DetectHiddenWindows On

DetectHiddenWindows On
^!q::
IfWinExist ahk_class Notepad
{
    WinActivate
}
else
{
    Run Notepad
}
return

@Bob Still not working :/

I will post in SU, thanks @bob

@HackToHell Think I've got it :P

Add a WinShow just before the WinActivate

It works with KeePass/minimise to tray

8:17 AM

@Bob I will check it out as soon as come back from the theater, going to see TDKR, srry, I am already running late

@HackToHell lol, have fun!

10:32 AM

ugh, am a neep

I usually tag tracks to stage3 and then if they are lossless convert and store them as mp3 in stage 3

mixed the two up

I was trying to figure out why the new tracks i had added to itunes didn't show up

11:31 AM

...

recorded the olympic opening with windows media centre

hello, 16GB file

playback gets very stuttery about halfway through, I think it's choking on the massive file :P

o.O

16GB :O

mail me later

@HackToHell Then you should visit Tallinn - the capital in Estonia.

Hey @jokerdino and @Bob ! How are ye mates doing todays?

hey

me doing fine

@jokerdino Cool

Guys I want to make video clip about my trip with included U2 - Beautiful Day soundtrack. First 10 seconds I want to include my time lapse short clips. Can you suggest fast, with as much less learning curve way to do this?

12:10 PM

@Boris_yo Does Windows Movie Maker (XP version) have that functionality?

i vaguely recall it let you insert stills

but this was like, years ago ;p

The pre-Live Windows Movie Maker was one of the most intuitive video composition programs

With quite a few basic features

@Boris_yo Oh, and hi

it was ;p

@jokerdino when something says it's going to take 5 hours to transfer over the network... and considering this is Windows networking... I might be done next week.

looool

or in 5 minutes

12:13 PM

@JourneymanGeek 16GB @ 1MB/s?

Even worse, this is a wireless 'g' network where theoretical maximum is a little over 6MB/s...

Its a windows file transfer time suggestion...

its totally variable

/me prefers sneakerneting larger files tho

@JourneymanGeek Sneakernet?

I copy it to a usb hard drive, walk over... ;p

lol

my last portable hard drive died :\

Mokubai

otherwise known as flashnet if using flash drives

12:15 PM

...annnd I only have 8GB flash drives, none of which are empty. might be time to install 7zip :P

Actually, I'll go do that.

lol

@Bob mail me dude.

/me has two, in case one gets borrowed

I need to clean them out a bit tho

ok

especially with my plans to reformat my laptop and to do a rebuild on the desktop ;p

12:16 PM

i have found firessh too hot.

lol

perhaps if I set up a FTP server...

hmm

lol

too hot?

What's this rsync everyone's talking about?

hmm

@JourneymanGeek i mean, it is actually working. i can ssh without worrying about the proxy / firewall and what not

12:19 PM

oooh

nice ;p

Internet speed in Estonia:

In Prague airport from free Wi-Fi hotspot:

12:40 PM

@OliverSalzburg when you got the power then responsibilities increases automatically :)

@OliverSalzburg I'm looking for a way to backup my official ICS rom without root my phone but still have not any success. Have you any idea regarding this?

@avirk Without root? No idea

hmm

The only good backups I've ever done were through ClockworkMod Recovery

1:33 PM

@OliverSalzburg actually I don't want to void my warranty

@JourneymanGeek Not that I know

@OliverSalzburg nandroid

1:34 PM

@jou you can if the person has been on chat in 3 days

@avirk I haven't messed with my phone since my last ROM upgrade

@OliverSalzburg actully I'm looking for JB and I heard rumors that Sony will not launch the official update for my model so that's why ;)

meta.superuser.com/posts/2198/revisions @kinokijuf Harry Potter reference, and in no way detracts from the answer. Rolled back cause frankly, the edit dosen't add anything to the answer and well, Harry Potter rocks ;p

Lol:

tinydeal.com/…

o0

1:39 PM

@JourneymanGeek very bad edit just with the word WTF :\

@JourneymanGeek That rollback didn't really contribute to the answer either though

@OliverSalzburg: no, not really

But editing a year old, and obsolete answer for a minor reason...

I still don't understand the reference

@OliverSalzburg rollback war!!

Naw, one more and i stop giving a shit.

1:40 PM

@jokerdino still not

@OliverSalzburg: In Harry Potter, students get merit and demerit points for their houses

@avirk no, i am asking you to start one.

and its a reference to that ;p

@JourneymanGeek Thanks :)
