I'm not sure if it's relevant to displayport and dvi, but cables are usually passive adapters and adapters are usually active adapters. But it might not matter depending on the formats.. idk
@CCInc What I'm aiming to achieve is this. There is a souped-up desktop computer with 2x video cards each with 2x DisplayPort outputs. I can't open the computer, pull out the card and read the model. I'd like to boot the computer and find out the model of the card. The only available monitor is DVI.
@CCInc Read the article and the forum thread. It looks like active adapters works in a greater number of situation. But, passive adapter works only in some situations. I
Is it possible to remove the entry for the desktop from Windows 7's Alt+Tab list? So far I have found a post telling me to add an entry to the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/AltTabSettings
However, this reverts the Alt+Tab menu back to the Window...
@NickAlexeev Yeah, active adapters are almost guarenteed to work, whereas passive only work in certain cases. Back to your original question, though, most cables are passive, but you can fine some that are active if you wanted one
> Data transfer can be done in any of three modes:[1][2]
Stream mode: Data is sent as a continuous stream, relieving FTP from doing any processing. Rather, all processing is left up to TCP. No End-of-file indicator is needed, unless the data is divided into records. Block mode: FTP breaks the data into several blocks (block header, byte count, and data field) and then passes it on to TCP.[4] Compressed mode: Data is compressed using a single algorithm (usually run-length encoding).
but that wouldn't really help
big files are fine, it's the overhead of the small files that're killing it
as I understand it, standard FTP (with or without compression) still operates on a per-file basis
and I can't compress before sending
at the moment, it's not just the overhead - I can live with that
@allquixotic: ended up installing dispatch proxy on my desktop (wanted to do it on the pi, but the power adaptor for the USB hub seems to kill off the connectivity to the switch). It does however seem to gracefully ignore the homeplug/gig-e connection going down. Dosen't seem to use much ram either.
I need to upload a directory with a rather complicated tree (lots of subdirectories, etc.) by FTP. I am unable to compress this directory, since I do not have any access to the destination apart from FTP - e.g. no tar. Since this is over a very long distance (USA => Australia), latency is quite h...
I guess unless there's some existing FTP client that can do this, my only option might be splitting into multiple directories and letting ncftp run through each of them
but that's why I posted the question - if there's any other option
> For example, download http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.2.tar.bz2 file using pget in 5 parts: $ cd /tmp $ lftp -e 'pget -n 5 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.2.tar.bz2'
> lftp has shell-like command syntax allowing you to launch several com‐ mands in parallel in background (&). It is also possible to group com‐ mands within () and execute them in background. All background jobs are executed in the same single process. You can bring a foreground job to background with ^Z (c-z) and back with command `wait' (or `fg' which is alias to `wait'). To list running jobs, use command `jobs'. Some com‐ mands allow redirecting their output (cat, ls, ...) to file or via pipe
Upload files with wildcard expansion. By default it uses the base name of local name as remote one. This can be changed by `-d' option.
-c continue, reput -d create directories the same as in file names and put the files into them instead of current directory -E delete source files after successful transfer (dangerous) -a use ascii mode (binary is the default) -O <base> specifies base directory or URL where files should be placed
> cmd:parallel (number) Number of jobs run in parallel in non-interactive mode. For example, this may be useful for scripts with multiple `get' com‐ mands. Note that setting this to a value greater than 1 changes conditional execution behaviour, basically makes it inconsis‐ tent.
@Bob actually, are you sure FTP can handle parallel transfers? I thought the protocol itself is limited to one at a time per connection.
Is firefox OS really faster compare to others? Someone here who has an experienced using firefox phone..
Is it a matter of HTML5+JS VS Java VS Objective-C faster/more efficient than the other?
@Bob Well, an answer that states "you can't directly compare measurements for those OSes because this and that and that", explaining this in depth and detail, would be a good answer IMO.
> Q: Why do the secure protocols https and ftps give the "PRNG not seeded" error message? A: Your system probably lacks a /dev/random-like device. Create a ~/.rnd file containing random characters and SSL will work. See also the OpenSSL FAQ about this.
O.O
I dunno, that sounds like a horribly insecure way to do this :P
Right now the front page Popular tab is fairly broken -- it's a simple descending sort by views. As Joel said in podcast #18, it is "a self-fulfilling prophecy." But this is not intentional, it's only because we haven't had time to improve it yet!
As I sit down to write a better algorithm, I tho...

How do these arbitrary hotness points work?

@JourneymanGeek @terdon lftp seems to allow asynchronous sending, which should queue commands on the server side
I'm not going to cancel my current upload, but that might be an interesting option (add to answer, @JourneymanGeek?)
> FTP asynchronous mode (pipelining) Lftp can speed up ftp operations by sending several commands at once and then checking all the responses. See ftp:sync-mode variable. Sometimes this does not work, thus synchronous mode is the default. You can try to turn synchronous mode off and see if it works for you. It is known that some network software dealing with address translation works incorrectly in the case of several FTP commands in one network packet.
RFC959 says: ``The user-process sending another command before the completion reply would be
@terdon It seems to be waiting on individual commands before continuing with the next. At least with the commands I can see - it only displays a single one, and won't change while it's "waiting for connection". That implies that it's got a single command connection open.
better if I could packet capture it, but I don't have time right now to spin up a Linux VM and all that
also, 20 might be a bit much for the destination server :P
I remember the days of yore, with slow disks, little memory (so not much buffering) and massive IO. -> Please wait till tomorrow. Operation might be resumed. (tm)
Amazon.de is closest and fastest, and UK_SHOP on amazon.de has the items cheap..... but does not ship them to their neighbouring country. So now I am ordering from a shop in the UK, which as experience tells me, will ship from the amazon warehouse in Germany.
On the risk of triggering inkt or pen related discussion: There are fabulous:
Most pictures with a sit of four pens are a single pen.
I had 4 V-pens. Pink, purple, dark green, blue. I am now out of pink A (which is a light red), blue (light blue is not very light), almost of light green (which is a dark green) and halfway though purple
That is after about a year. So with shipping costs I prefer to get a few spare and save on a second (or third, depending on how you look at it) shipment
