Yeah. I have the exact same issue as you with my Mac. I've tried everything but just can't access one website and only on my mac. Did you solve it?

@ThatBrazilianGuy no, going to read it now. I'm just wondering about this:

Q: Why do interactive shells on OSX source *profile* files?

In Linux and, to my knowledge, all Unix systems, terminal emulators run interactive, non-login shells by default. This means that, for bash, the started shell will: When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from /etc/bash.bashrc...

And thanks for bringing that gem of a question to my attention :)

@OliverSalzburg 1st Google result?

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo: its a USB ethernet device. Its what you'd use to connect a device with USB ports and no ethernet adaptors to ethrnet.

Boris_yo

09:39

How can Locator be Roman? Locator is font family and Roman is also font family.

@JourneymanGeek I know but actually wanted your ideas where to use it. In chinese tablet to easily come and setup router or troubleshoot router's problems instead of taking laptop everytime.

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo: without a proper terminal, it would be a pain in the arse.

but yeah, if you had the right drivers and USB OTG it should probably work

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek I meant logging to router's gateway - web-interface to set it up and make changes.

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo: see the second line ;p

You'd need drivers to support it,

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek Downside of USB RJ45 is installation of drivers, indeed and defeats the purpose of full portability.

Psycogeek

@Paul How much access you give me :-) I agree with JMG that telling if a monitor has the power on or not is not different to the system. If it was for a project, I could create a scenario where I can determine that my own monitor is not only awake, but powered, By cheating, my monitor has USB ports.

Journeyman Geek

09:46

@Boris_yo: there's a chance you already have the drivers.

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek Commenter: "It would be a lot more convenient if driver came integrated into device's firmware and not on CD".

Journeyman Geek

that might be a pain in the ass.

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek Commenter: "I think I know why this device does not work on my tablet. Android 4.0 does not support ethernet."

Journeyman Geek

maybe

it might also be device specific. Even with simple things like mass storage

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek If tablet is branded then there's higher chance for it to support ethernet, devices etc.?

Journeyman Geek

09:50

Its easier to google to see if it works ;p

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek I think I read that one of differences between branded and chinese tablets is that latter are focused more on hardware than optimizing it for software and letting out new model after new model into market.

Example but with smartphones: iPhone smartphone has lower specs than some Android smartphone but it runs OS as well as Android device.

With less bugs too.

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek USB ports in monitor? What for?

Psycogeek

10:46

@Boris_yo I did not want them :-) but once they are there i end up using them. problem is using them is rather stupid when switching off the power to the monitor , either by it's own switch or by the power strip, shuts off the USB . soooo they screwed that up IMO.

So i start a loading of a flash chip, using this really convienient port, turn off the monitor to do something else and ARRRGG!

@Boris_yo ahh passwords, i dont get it, it takes longer for me to remember tham than it takes for a hacker to get in :-) why we need that stuff . It's like having a case-lock on a stolen computer, or intrusion detection , on a computer with ports, or like uploading things on the web, once it got that far , its Over :-)

Why we put a Big Lock on a door, when there is a window 3 feet away?

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek Oh that's stupid and must not interfere with USB ports functionality. Only when monitor is completely disconnected from power.

@Psycogeek Did you get the chance of visiting Arnold?

Psycogeek

@Boris_yo right, a standby power should have been maintained for the monitors USB ports. At least when the monitor is put into what is esentially its own standby using its own power switch (was possible) Both of them did not include that.

Boris_yo

11:40

@Psycogeek That's why manufacturer needs to "Think different!"

@Psycogeek If chassis keeps USB power on (there are those that don't though) while computer is in standby, why monitor's won't?

@Psycogeek I think this pump's diaphragm got weak:

Oliver Salzburg

@Boris_yo So?

Boris_yo

Do you think I can open and look inside? Do you see what is wrong with tube that is supposed to be green at the start?

@OliverSalzburg Does same happen with USB thumbdrive?

Oliver Salzburg

@Boris_yo Even if it does, why would that matter? I would imagine you care about being able to boot the device. And if you need additional space, resize the created partition

Psycogeek

@Boris_yo wheres the fishies?

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg I once formatted USB storage from 2GB to 512 and could never restore that back to 2GB

Oliver Salzburg

12:25

@Boris_yo There's always a way. Usually it involves diskpart ;)

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek What do they have to do with this?

Psycogeek

@Boris_yo what is the use of the pump if not for fishies? I dont see an O2 inlet or ?

Boris_yo

12:50

@Psycogeek There is no air inlet...

Maybe it's covered by bottom plastic plate... I don't know.

Psycogeek

It looks awfully old, and parts for Aq pumps i don't know about. but i have been inside just one, and they are certannly not lab grade anything. once the rubber breaks down. I didnt see anything that was fixable. On the other hand, this things is old, has screws. old looking but possibly built better originally.

A person can buy materials for about anything. if they continued with the screw assembly, mayby some of the rubber (flexing parts) could be replaced.

Replace parts with a bike innertube as an example of being able to get hold of materials locally. Then if it is for fishies, there is all the concideration of toxics. nobody cares if the air inside a bike tire is basically toxic.

Boris_yo

13:11

@Psycogeek Finding part that fits my pump is also complex...

That Brazilian Guy

@OliverSalzburg Mobile data plan?

Psycogeek

Then we take the blackened tube, looks bad. Why is it blackened? is it materials breakdown, or could the coils of the winding for either a motor or a electromagnetic solinoid style, or "buzzer" style of movement. if the electric coils are cooked, it might be concidered a lost cause. Even though rewinding any of that stuff is totaly possible. When say like the enamel around the wires is old flaking off, cooked. All of that makes it quite unsafe too.

@Utkarsh: You had been suspended an hour before for the same thing. Then you do it again.

and this isn't the fist time you got suspended

Utkarsh

@JourneymanGeek but i deleted those before 2-3 secs, you suspended me

Journeyman Geek

You've been warned about constantly deleting your posts too

Mr_Green

16:01

yup

Utkarsh

Oh Man!

Mr_Green

I need to solve this asap.. I am feeling alone because I don't have any knowledge on network administration.

Utkarsh

@JourneymanGeek what good tool will you recommend to remove Viruses?

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek So you say I will be able to test my bootable flashdrive in virtual machine?

allquixotic

@Mr_Green don't even think about a home group; you are way overcomplicating this... just turn on shared folder for your user account (or for a whole drive) on the computer you're able to ping from the other computer, then type in Windows Explorer: \\1.2.3.4\ShareName where 1.2.3.4 is the IP address assigned to the internal NIC of your other computer and ShareName is the name given to the shared folder/drive

it's not rocket science.. you don't need something called a home group to get folder sharing working

those damn things almost never work anyway because the security settings are always so locked down that it won't let it work

Mr_Green

ok I will check this.. thanks

A lot for Intel HD?

Bob

hm

@allquixotic I may be getting a new phone earlier than I thought

it just hit 60 degrees C while charging :S

Hennes

Blunt axe mode on: Nope. Some Intels are running at 100C by default.

(granted, that was a 80486 with a normal temp of 100C, and a bit more under load)

Bob

@Hennes And not in close proximity with a Li-ion battery

aka a bomb

Hennes

There was a CMOS battery in there. No idea where.

a very fast machine (496DX, 33MHz, 16MB RAM, and on average 40 users logged in during noon breaks).

The OS was ESIX.

HackToHell

@Bob 60C :O

Change the battery ?

Hennes

Bob

Hennes
