It's still not as I would like, but at least you can find your way around AND we found a shelf of powered-on kit that wasn't in use any more behind all the leads! No bodies of previous admins etc. though.
@Linker3000 You need to make the cables into little bundles so you end up with sets of rainbow colours going into each unit... spice it up a little :) Though I have to say it does look neater.
@DMA57361 I'd have to say somewhat similar... I like the old chinese curse "may you live in interesting times" and I certainly know some people who make things "interesting"
Unfortunately my current employer doesn't allow developers untrammelled access to the MSDN through them.
The license they have is apparently quite restrictive. Other places gave developers their own MSDN licence which meant I could download and install VS2008 at home (quite legally).

@akira: Thanks, looks interesting for when I'm tired of PyDev so that I can boil it down to a single IDE again. Visual Studio is free for students, check [Microsoft DreamSpark]...
@Mokubai: Yes, to confuse people and draw attention from countrymen. :-)
@tintincute: Did you got your SMTP problem solved? What problem are you having now?
@Linker3000 I've done that a few times, only to realise that a) the OP is never going to see the answer and b) no one is going to upvote even an excellent answer as they're never going to look at it as it was bumped by Community and is as old as the hills...
@Linker3000: Perhaps a configuration on a per-site basis, for some sites it might be interesting to boost a very old questions but for our site it's often not.
@Mokubai if you answer an old question then it's your name that's bumped it, not community, and old questions can get your the revival and necromancer badges
@DMA57361 The ones that 'get me' are when you start to answer something like 'Help, my password is corrupted and I can't login' and then you realise that the original poster from Feb 2009 has probably sorted something by now
In practice, locally this means: Logging and checking your connections (Process Monitor can do that) to see if data is being leeched from your computer to an IP you don't know, checking if your mails are forwarded (Wireshark and see what happens with an incoming mail).
For the server: You could as well check connections, but I guess packet monitoring might be too tedious. Also, if you suspect him having access you can check when people logged in at the event log.

But if his attempt isn't too complex it might be visible as a non verified process in Process Explorer or Process Monitor, entries in RootKitRevealer, ...
Yeah, just be sure he doesn't have password access and you should be fine.
If he had access to your laptop, also check for forwarding rules in Outlook and check if your POP3 server is set right and not to a proxy.
@ChrisF Just catching up - Most companies do not buy MSDN at all... They are usually a member of Bizspark (5 I think MSDN subs) - Website Spark (limited 2 I think), Partner (10 I think) Gold partner (25 I think)... Again, not sure on the numbers... all they need to do is go to the partner website, add your passport address and you can go to MSDN
@Tintincute ... I spent a lot of time trying to help you the other day. I scanned your computer for you and I did not easily see any signs of a rootkit / virus / keylogger - not saying there isn't, but I certainly didn't see anything obvious... If it is a good one / done well, you would never know it was there - but I still doubt that is how it was done. It was most likely either he cloned your hard drive, or just captured your passwords across the network
@tintincute Very tired... working all hours at the moment :(
well, you said that you think there was a code in them that shows how he got a copy - if you can scan one and send it to me (cover personal details) I can try to tell you
@tintincute lol... my own fault - just working all hours at the moment. I only seem to be productive at night, so I just turn everything off and work solidly from about midnight to 7AM... fall asleep and wake up at ~13:00, then seem to do next to no work until midnight, no matter how hard I try to focus!
Delayed sleep-phase syndrome (DSPS), also known as delayed sleep-phase disorder (DSPD) or delayed sleep-phase type (DSPT), is a circadian rhythm sleep disorder, a chronic disorder of the timing of sleep, peak period of alertness, the core body temperature rhythm, hormonal and other daily rhythms, compared to the normal population and relative to societal requirements. People with DSPS generally fall asleep some hours after midnight and have difficulty waking up in the morning.
Often, people with the disorder report that they cannot sleep until early morning, but fall asleep at about the s...
Was one of the many symptons of my ENT problem.
I can tell you, sleeping earlier sounds easy but is hard. The solution seems to either skip a night of sleep or to go sleep hours later everyday...
@TomWij Very interesting, however, not sure I actually have a syndrome as I allow myself to do it - I am self employed and no real commitments (most clients ring in the afternoon, so never a problem). I sometimes get up at a regular time, but then I just get so carried on with work, I just don't sleep until I finish something... when I go to bed, I fall asleep straight away
@tintincute You are welcome to, but I spent about an hour with you the other day and couldn't find anything.... As I said, if you want peace of mind, you need to reinstall Windows, but I really do not think a keylogger was how he did it
@TomWij I checked active connections (obviously, it could be a periodic program), and my favourite... using procmon for file access and doing a few keys to see if anything logs it - but I couldn't see anything
@tintincute: Download & Run, no need for Installation. When you're done you could remove the file or keep it for it's usefulness. It basically monitors processes for File/Registry/Network and other events and allows you to search/highlight and filter things.
@Wil Same issue here, the problem is that when you get into the habit that the syndrome kicks in. To correct it, it is the same like having to sleep at ~6 PM instead of ~12 PM for a normal person... ;-)
I was 4 AM - 5 AM for some time, but got it back to 2 AM - 3 AM after my surgery, it's a matter of time before I get it slowly back to the normal times.
@tintincute I think you are much better off using keyfinders like I showed you - If the PDF was created with newer versions of Adobe, there isn't an easy way to break the user password (unless I am wrong)
@Wil: Yeah, "timing of sleep, peak period of alertness, the core body temperature rhythm, hormonal and other daily rhythms" are things that can change from one month to the other.
@TomWij Why the hell do I start talking about things like this, all it does is scare me!... I have had Tinnitus for years, doc said I should take ginko biloba (or whatever it is called) but it doesn't do a thing so I don't bother (it is non prescription/herbal, but he said it helps some people), as for headaches, all the time - but paracetamol gets rid of it, and I would say it is just down to stress/work load
@tintincute That is the one for some MS products - need to find one for others such as your Adobe stuff
@Wil: I've read up a lot on Tinnitus, and while for a very small percentage there are things that solve it (Tinnitus should be regarded as a sympton, not a disease/disorder/syndrome; it's more likely that you either just have ear damage or in a smaller percentage that something else causes it)
there isn't really a treatment available, they're currently experimenting with neuro-feedback stimulation.
@TomWij Yeah, it is just that you mentioned it - I am sure it isn't that bad... just minor ringing... the fans off all the computers I have here cover it up!!! And just read quickly about Nasal Polyps - my breathing and stuff is fine, I don't think I have that at all
In Belgium there's a 1 (checks again) 1.5 year waiting list for a specialized clinic, but I'm not going there as it isn't that bad. Their site has usual information: brai2n.net/clinic/eng/tinnitus/index.html
@tintincute but without that password, you will just be down to brute force hacking - if you know some details (length, complexity e.t.c) it can speed things up... you need to think worse case scenario and get the keys if the osftware is already installed
@TomWij honestly, compared to some people I know, I have it easy! .... My Granddad did artillery in the war and has bad tinnitus... I just have it mildly and whilst it is annoying, I can easily live with it
And else, be glad you are prepared when it worsens. I focused way too much on the Tinnitus and really got surprised by the diagnosis, I never heard of it before...
I was searching for an example from how to think like a CS
def increment(time, seconds): time.seconds = time.seconds + seconds while time.seconds >= 60: time.seconds = time.seconds - 60 time.minutes = time.minutes + 1 while time.minutes >= 60: time.minutes = time.minutes - 60 time.hours = time.hours + 1 This function is now correct, but it is not the most efficient solution. As an exercise, rewrite this function so that it doesn’t contain any loops.
I never know how to interpret what they expect me to do :\
word = 'abcbacabbaa' count = [0,0,0] abc = ['a','b','c'] for letter1 in word: for index, letter2 in enumerate(abc): if letter1 == letter2: counter[index]+=1 print('%sa%sb%sc' % (count[0],count[1],count[2]))
horribly inefficient code that get's the work done @KronoS :P
probably you could split that word and check for equality and put all the same items in one list, then check the length
btw @Sathya let me know if it's any good, I need to upgrade to CM7 RC2 too
I have setup a dualscreen setup for my notebook with an ATI video card (ATI mobility radeon hd 5470) using Catalyst Control Center.
The monitor extends the desktop of the notebook's screen. This works great.
I am running on windows 7 and have set it up to not do anything when I close my laptop'...

For the mouse-over.
Oh, tagline, something shorter.

it's two classes mashed into one (which sucks). first half of the class is matrices, eigenvectors, etc. second half is infinite series, power series, taylor polynomials, etc.
