Good evening, everyone.

It's really nice having Apple.SE, now people have a place to take their iPhone questions.

how're you doing?

Mark Szymanski

I'm doing great, @nhinkle. How are you?

@Wil hmm, monitoring programs intercepting keyboard

I know that Comodo Firewall allows you to prevent it.

Wil

I think she is gone now anyway - Keyboard hook monitor, or something along those lines... I think it was part of a free security scanner suite... (more useful than the main tool)

TomWij

To actually check what happens on a key-press you would have to set a breakpoint and do some stack tracing...

Wil

... it just monitored the Windows API for any other tool that was intercepting data or listening on it

the key hook event - or whatever it is called

It doesn't matter, just you always seem to remember tool names, I thought it was worth a shot!

TomWij

Well, you could do this...

zairon.wordpress.com/2006/12/06/…

Perhaps you can do the job with API Monitor.

Alternative, you could enumerate all processes and dynamic link libraries to see which ones contain hook functionality...

I don't know of any software other than global ones that debug from a high level, don't know something that really looks specific for (keyboard) hooks.

Wil

hmm, lol, never seen that one before... nice... been wanting something similar for a while

TomWij

1:13 AM

@Wil: This is about the closest I can get...

resplendence.com/hookanalyzer

Discontinued because of resplendence.com/sanity

Wil

do you just know these or do you search? good results and Im taking the API one!!! - I can't remember where it was and it wasn't available on it's own - it was part of a malware program and it was a module... just looking at spybot but it isn't there - it was something that used to be very popular then they went pay/screwed the users and hardly anybody uses them now...

i just can't think of the name :S

TomWij

Well, I know Sanity and didn't work on my 64 bit in the past but that might be fixed by now.

I know API Monitor too, the two other links are by Googling... :-)

Hmm...

resplendence.com/registrar

Have been looking for registry references in the past, this looks even better. :D

@Wil Lavasoft Ad-Aware went that way...

And Comodo Firewall, but Comodo Firewall is still free I think.

Wil

Maybe it was adaware... or otherwise, possibly the API/the way it worked just isn't in Windows Vista/7 and whoever it was no longer makes it...

TomWij

Bummer, no descriptions in lite version.

Wil

after looking for ages, I think it may have been part of one of the Webroot products, windows washer or spy sweeper, but I can't see that specific part listed.

TomWij

1:25 AM

Dunno, I know all those products and have never seen it. The only one I know of is Comodo Firewall...

Wil

I have never used that - if it does include it, it wouldn't be the one I was thinking of

TomWij

Quite good, but I don't like so much popup dialogs as I do a lot of non-home-user things.

Wil

anyway, no problem... Thanks a lot for the help

TomWij

Thank you too, refreshes my mind. :-)

I don't know how I got to this, but I really like troubleshooting and knowing what tools to use when is handy...

Although it's most of the times more theoretical than actually doing something practical with it.

Where are those hard troubleshooting SU questions! :P

Hmm, maybe I should create a tag set on StackExchange that includes related tags to that...

But Linux questions will pop up too, worst case I could learn troubleshooting them too...

Anyhow, getting late here, good night. :-)

Wil

goodnight... Think I am going to stay up again... too much too do :(

Hi! :)

Sathya

hello @Nyuszika7H

Nyuszika7H

I want to remap Space to Esc and Numpad2 to Space in AutoHotkey… so I can pause the game with Esc, and jump with space… how do I do that?

TomWij

@Wil Not weird to me, it would be weird if it didn't wrap text...

Nyuszika7H

w::Up
a::Left
s::Down
d::Right
Space::Esc
Numpad2::Space

This doesn't seem to work… (the last two lines)

TomWij

Try to figure out which one doesn't work.

Nyuszika7H

11:18 AM

Changed Esc to Escape and it works!! AutoHotkey is really very handy.

TomWij

Hmm, doesn't AutoHotkey warn you for such things?

Nyuszika7H

@TomWij No, I didn't see a warning… maybe because it's a fullscreen game.

TomWij

I mean, when running the script.

It should (I don't know if it has) be able to tell you that...

Nyuszika7H

yeah, but I didn't see a warning

another thing: since my touchpad supports multi-touch (two/three fingers), I can reassign its buttons to something else :)

TomWij

autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_ErrorStdOut.htm

According to that you should get warnings, but I suppose that Esc is a valid key somehow...

autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm

According to that Esc and Escape should be equivalent... :(

xahlee.org/mswin/autohotkey_problems.html

I'm going to stick with PhaseExpress (fits my current needs) and AutoIt (when I need something more advanced).

Nyuszika7H

@TomWij now it works with Esc, too :)

TomWij

Now I got to rewrite my daily reputation script. :-(

Sathya

why ?

TomWij

Because it used the logout link to position itself in the top bar... :-D

And now I somehow need to turn this:

var logout_link = $("#topbar a[href^='/users/logout']:first");

DMA57361

TomWij

2:25 PM

into the chat link. :/

Sathya

aha

hi @DMA57361

TomWij

Yay!

It's back, but not in the right place.. :-/

Perhaps I should add the logout link back and add a review link too.

DMA57361

huh, had to fix mine as well... was relying on the absence of a logout link to ensure the user was logged in - now swapped :)

TomWij

2:41 PM

grmbl

why are my separators different? :/

DMA57361

"grmbl"?

TomWij

mumbling, mad, unhappy, ...

DMA57361

ah, ok :)

@TomWij did you use the lsep class for the separator's span?

TomWij

yes

DMA57361

dunno then

TomWij

2:43 PM

$('<a href="http://superuser.com/users/logout?returnurl=/">logout</a><span class="lsep">|</span><a href="http://superuser.com/review">review</a><span class="lsep">|</span>').insertBefore($("span#hlinks-custom a:first"));

@Nyuszika7H, @DMA57361: Any idea how I can get my links towork for each site? Because if I click review on SO it goes to SU/review. :P

Nyuszika7H

@TomWij use document.domain

DMA57361

you're hard-coding your link to "http://superuser.com/review"?

just use "/review"

no wait...

let me see what I did...

TomWij

@DMA57361: Works, thank you. :-)

DMA57361

ah, I pull the site url and use urlSite + "review" as the href

@TomWij yes - but only on the main page, probably not a question page etc

TomWij

Doesn't need to work there

Hmm, I better put my spaces around the link rather than the separator.

DMA57361

@TomWij why?

@TomWij fair enough, I wanted mine to work everywhere

Nyuszika7H

log out is still there on A51 but not in Discussion Zone

Q: Can the log out link be removed at Area 51?

Hmm, I guess I need two userscripts: one for log out, and one for review. Review is not needed on metas (except Meta.SO).

DMA57361

or, just do this:

but then I'm not fussed about the log out... so I've not added it :)

Nyuszika7H

because alt gr = ctrl + alt

so it makes more sense to have that key in between and windows at the other side

hi @MarcoCeppi

TomWij

Hmm, if I have a question about YouTube, in terms of correcting the video brightness, should I ask it at Web Apps or at Super User?

KronoS

@TomWij will you be downloading the video and correcting on pc or correcting via youtube's service?

I see that as the defining line between the two IMO

Nyuszika7H

@TomWij You should ask it on Web User or Super Apps.

TomWij

:D

Well, the question would be like "Some videos seem to have a brighter black, can I somehow manually/automatically correct the brightness while watching?"

KronoS

3:40 PM

Oh... wow... I think you'll have better success at webapps

Nyuszika7H

@TomWij Oh, wait… Super Web Apps User

TomWij

See

In this video, you see the darkest shade of black by the video player.

Diago

@Nyuszika7H What are you on about?

TomWij

Then a shade of black at the top of the video that should be black.

An then you see the video, the house, which brightness seems to high to me.

KronoS

Is there a specific reason why it matters? Cuz, "just deal with it" comes to mind... but that might be because I stayed up too late last night.

TomWij

3:45 PM

Image quality would be much better...

Shinrai

Mornin folks

TomWij

@KronoS: This example shows you why I want the brightness lower, it's a bit exaggerated:

Would such question fit on Super User?

Might be solved by a browser extension or something...

Diago

@TomWij I would ask it on WebApps first. If they consider it a Super User question, they will migrate. But it's a stretch for a Super User questions, and Web Apps cover browser extensions.

KronoS

@TomWij you can try. It's one of those toss-ups that's really on-topic for both, it really more depends on what type of answer you want:

Do you want an answer that involves tweaking settings in youtube or extension to the browser?

TomWij

I see.

@KronoS: There aren't YouTube settings for that, so it's a browser extension.

KronoS

3:52 PM

@Diago I didn't know that Webapps covered browser extensions...

TomWij

But I'm thinking about doing Super User first.

Diago

@TomWij Then why ask here?

TomWij

Well, to make sure it's not off-topic here.

KronoS

Diago

@KronoS I did not notice they updated the FAQ. Browser extension as long as they affect the use of a web application

KronoS

3:54 PM

yep you're right @Diago

Diago

So yeah, extensions would be covered, but not the use of a browser and it's features.

TomWij

But it's impossible to adjust the brightness through an extension I think.

KronoS

To be honest... I think that what you're looking to do is near enough impossible to not be worth the effort

Diago

@KronoS Fair point. It needs to be controlled by the player, and if it doesn't have the feature built it, it will mean the video needs to be re-encoded or downloaded and played in VLC for example

TomWij

Most videos are fine, but some are off...

The above is a comparison between two videos, the black levels don't seem to match... :-(

YouTube videos have inconsistent black levels, I'm going to cry in a corner...

Karnaugh map

The Karnaugh map (K-map for short), Maurice Karnaugh's 1953 refinement of Edward Veitch's 1952 Veitch diagram, is a method to simplify Boolean algebra expressions. The Karnaugh map reduces the need for extensive calculations by taking advantage of humans' pattern-recognition capability, permitting the rapid identification and elimination of potential race conditions. In a Karnaugh map the boolean variables are transferred (generally from a truth table) and ordered according to the principles of Gray code in which only one variable changes in between adjacent squares. Once the table is ...

@TomWij I'd like to see your SU question migrated to SO, and your SO one to SU…

TomWij

Well, would be nice to know how it can be done programmatically.

KronoS

@TomWij I don't think that will work. It'll adjust your "desktops" brightness... thus actually making the prob even more prevalent

could be wrong though

TomWij

Hmmm... Works as intended but there is no reset, and I don't know the default setting. :D

Ah, default is 70%. Yay! :D

Okay, not working as intended, gonna see if the NVIDIA slider behaves different.

Okay, the NVIDIA slider does align the black levels, but then the video is too dark. I think I best leave it as is...

Or perhaps I should adjust contrast or gamma instead, I have no clue.

@Wil great answer... still belongs on SF IMO

esp with your answer actually

@Wil The question is a bit fuzzy; I would say some kind of load-balancing would be nice in such a situation, but I think it's too vague to recommend anything. Your answer is probably the best way forward.

Wil

yeah, I mean... typically, if a switch has fibre, it is for linking to other switches - but nothing stopping you using a server... there just isn't enough information... I just hope he understands my summary and doesn't try to run it off an unknown brand single chip thing which can only sustain 100Mb across all ports or something...

@KronoS I say could really be either... just because he mentions servers, it is still a networking question... which is on topic for both

mind you, probably right... it is more enterprise networking :S

@Wil it's not the fact that it says servers or that it's networking it's the type of networking he's wanting to do... which I think he'll get better attention and answers over at SF

even though the question as it is sucks

Q: Have MSDN Ultimate 7 installed by company. Want to convert to personal Ultimate 7. Can I?

I purchased a used development PC with Ultimate 7 MSDN version on it. I own a laptop with Ultimate 7 full, installed over XP. I also own a 3 user Home 7 with only one install (2 left). Yes, it's messy. I also own unused copies of XP (2 or 3, not new, but not installed on anything at this time...

@Wil I've just thrown in some techy stuff to add to the mix. I was wondering whether this was for some kind of process control app and so was going to add a bit about a deterministic protocol, but there's not enough to go on and speculating is going to create more questions tan answers.

@Wil correct me if I'm wrong but MSDN and "personal" are the same

right?

Wil

@Linker3000 reading now... @KronoS - MSDN has many varieties, I will read in a second...

They're all in tonight:

!question for ipod touch!

Wil

@Linker3000 Nice - although, something tells me he already has purchased or is buying pre made devices (cameras or similar) and won't have any control over it :S... I could be wrong...

@Wil Yeah, but they were hinting on doing their own TCP-oriented protocol

Wil

@Linker3000 I didn't see/get the hint :S but ok...

A: Have MSDN Ultimate 7 installed by company. Want to convert to personal Ultimate 7. Can I?

No, I don't really follow :S If you purchased a used development machine with a MSDN version of Windows 7, it is ONLY licensed for development and testing usage. It should of been deleted/formatted before you purchased. If you have a full copy of Windows 7 Home, you can then purchase a Windows ...

This is sick, there are 185 questions that have exactly 15 letters in the title.

But well, doing those now would only add to my SU addiction and would be negative towards my school results, scheduling them for another time... :-)
