Quick Access Bar for Windows JavaScript - MDC JavaScript (JS) is a lightweight interpreted (or just-in-time compiled) programming language with first-class functions. While it is most well-known as the scripting language for Web pages, many non-browser environments also use it, such as Node.js, Apache CouchDB and Adobe Acrobat. JavaScript is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm, single-threaded, dynamic language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and declarative (e.g. functional programming) styles. JavaScript's dynamic capabilities include runtime object construction, variable parameter lists, function variables, dynamic script creation (via eval), object introspection (via for...in and Object utilities), and source-code recovery (JavaScript functions store their source text and can be retrieved through toString()). This section is dedicated to the JavaScript language itself, and not the parts that are specific to Web pages or other host environments. Looking to become a front-end web developer? Get started

Forgot the Administrator's Password? by Daniel Petri - January 19, 2009 Ok, so you say you forgot your Windows administrator's password, huh? Oh well, it doesn't really matter if you did or you just say you did. The fact is that you need to gain access to a computer and you cannot "remember" the administrator's password. How can you get out of this situation without formatting and re-installing the operating system? One method of gaining access to the system is by trying hard to remember the forgotten password, or a password of another user which has the same level of administrative rights. Another method is by trying to restore a backed up System State (in Windows 2000/XP/2003) or a ERD (in NT 4.0) in which you do remember the password. A third method might be to install a parallel operating system on a different partition on the same computer, then use a simple trick to gain access to the old system. Update: You can also discuss these topics on the dedicated Petri.co.il Forgot Admin Password Forum. Password Recovery Tools

Bash Tricks II: repetitive tasks on files It's been a while since I wrote for the last time. I found a job (finally) and it's eating up most of my time. Anyway, I had already written a piece on repetitive tasks before. First Attempt ( find /mnt/tmp/ -iname '*'.tgz; find /mnt/tmp/ -iname '*'.tar.gz; ) | while read filename; do lines=`tar tzf $filename | grep -i file-pattern | wc -l`; if [ $lines -gt 0 ]; then echo $filename; fi; doneFirst we have the ()s. Second we have the while read variable; do x; y; z; done. Then the ``s. Finally, we are testing to see if the number is lines is greater than 0. Second Attempt Now let's try something a little bit different (though with the same pattern of file search). Basically, it's the same thing we did before, the only thing that's changing is that we will use another level of nesting so that we can mount/umount the iso files. And that's it! Now, keep in mind that if you want to do rather simple things with the files, you can ask find to execute some commands on the files it finds.

Instalar el driver ODBC para conectar con una base de datos MySQ Comentarios Es el tutorial más claro, conciso y por supuesto práctico de los muchos que he visto en la red. Todo funciona perfectamente. Es bastante buena la información que presentas en esta página... La ultima versión de Microsoft Jet en realidad es la 4.0, sin embargo debes bajar la ultima versión del Service Pack de Microsoft Jet 4.0 que es SP7, con esto no tendras problemas. Yo utilizo Windows 2000 server, cual de las versiones 6 de Microsoft Jet me sirven, puesto que de las 4 opciones que me dan hay dos que estan mas familiarizadas, la que es para Windows 2000 y Windows 2003 server. Sencillamente exelente. Pues a mi no me ha parecido tan claro. Tu articulo me abrio las puertas ha algo muy interesante he logrado migrar de acces al Mysql Administrator server. No se exactamente a qué te refieres, pero te quiero comentar que hay otros adminstradores para manejar una base de datos MySQL que seguro que funcionan bien: Te recomiendo echar un vistazo a Mysql Control Center. GRACIAS!!!
