Hey All, I just wrote a nifty gem and wanted to share(its one of my first). Wondering if anyone would be so kind as to tell me what they think and/or code review it. MailJack - its like LoJack but for the links in your emails. The problem this solves is the ability to track click throughs in emails. https://github.com/synth/mail_jack Basically, you specify what mailers you want to track

Hi, I'm trying to make a boxplot with the data at the end of the message, and when I try to execute the command >boxplot(Diatoms) (or for any other field instead of "Diatoms") I get the following error message: Error in oldClass(stats) <- cl : adding class "factor" to an invalid object Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot, Miriam Date

I have a Dell Latitude and I am a die-hard Linux user, but I noticed that I also have that Computrace lojack system on my pc in the BIOS. Computrace's program is intertwined into the PC's BIOS and the theory is that even if a thief wipes the PC and do a clean install, Computrace will rebuild itself and continue to 'call home' until it's found. As of this date, Computrace

Hiya. I'm trying to get a 2.2 PDC working, and am hitting a brick wall. I've tried to make sure I'm in compliance with the 2.2 HOWTO and FAQ, but it doesn't seem to be helping. - I've added both root and my pc's "hostname" to smbpasswd, and the hostname itself to the passwd file, as per the HOWTO. - I swiped the smb.conf and /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba files from

I found a bug in Webmin when using Webmin with SELinux in Permissive Mode. The author of Webmin, asked me, in their bug tracker on SourceForge: > Ok, thanks ... I see the problem. Webmin opens the log file > /var/webmin/miniserv.error and connects STDERR to it, then runs other > commands like iptables, which inherits the STDERR file descriptor. > This is generally a good thing, as any

Hi all, I want to start experimenting with clusters, and I would like to use normal desktop grade hardware for this. I have some extra PC components lying around, enough to build 3 - 4 moderate desktops with a PIV / C2D CPU & 512MB - 1GB RAM each. All the machines should have at least a 100MB NIC, but I can add a gigabit NIC to the machines that doesn't have it if need be. I have used

Hi all, One of the areas I am trying to research before I can confidently start deploying Asterisk is "Credit Card Machines". (PDQ / Streamline machines / any similar) I'm talking about the credit card swipe boxes at point of sale desks. I believe they dial out to the specific bank provider everytime a card is swiped. My question is: - Does anyone have any experience using

Hi yeah, it's just a normal USB dongle, and it's supported by the Linux Kernel, that's why I tried it. I have tried other USB dongles with Linux before and failed. This one was plug and play.

RedHat magazine this month has an article about the TuxBox M750: http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2007/12/06/hardware-review-tuxbox-computers-sportcoat-m750-laptop/ Has anyone bought one of these? I'm particularly interested in estimated battery life, which that review doesn't mention. The M750 is comparable in most other ways to an HP that I was about to buy, but the HP's battery life

I'm running rsync 2.5.2_1 on two machines - a production server (athlon 1500+, 512mb, 160gb raid array, running FreeBSD 4.4-release) and a machine I'd like to use as a backup system (a p2/350, 192mb, 90gb, running FreeBSD 4.5-release.) I've got rsync running as a daemon on the production server, and I'd like to use rsync to back up the key directories on that machine to the

Hello, I recently noticed a problem on our PDC (samba 3.0.32 on SLES 10 SP2) which I kind of know how to solve after web research but I am unclear about the possible consequences for our domain and clients. The situation is this: Originally samba was set up on this machine to test. Back then its hostname was infrahostnew, so there is a SID for that NETBIOS name in secrets.tdb. When the PDC went

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a Quiz/feedback for caller of call center when a agent hangup. I use Asterisk 1.8.16 and I'm trying with Queue and Dial with options c and g but every time I try to play something I got: -- Executing [301 at from-test:1] Dial("SIP/300-00000045", "SIP/301,60,rjtTg") in new stack -- Called SIP/301 -- SIP/301-00000046 is ringing

I've got a HP Envy laptop and I'm fairly happy with it. The internal WiFi doesn't work with Centos but a ?5 WiFi dongle sorted that. Oddly, it still stops working once the battery drops below 50% ish. Mine is dual boot with Win8 which is pants. The biggest problem is that whenever I do much with the config, e.g. when I re-installed centos, the boot loader doesn't sort properly

This patch changes DRM clients to not map the buffer by default. The buffer, like any buffer object, should be mapped and unmapped when needed. An unmapped buffer object can be evicted to system memory and does not consume video ram until displayed. This allows to use generic fbdev emulation with drivers for low-memory devices, such as ast and mgag200. This change affects the generic framebuffer
