APXS is a Perl script that is created when you build the Apache web server from source. Chances are that if you are getting these errors and you obtained Apache as a binary distribution, that APXS is not configured correctly for your system. Your best bet is to get the Apache source from http://httpd.apache.org and build it yourself. Use the following for a basic build (read the Apache docs for other options):

Note: The above steps assume that you downloaded the Apache source and placed it in your /usr/local/src directory.

A workaround for no x64 SendToOneNote Print Driver

I just got this from Bruce on the OneNote Test team:

It's not optimal, but it does work. I use it here at Microsoft on my Vista x64 machine.

1. Install one of the many converter programs that will allow you to output images files when you “Print”. For example, I’ve played with http://www.print-driver.com/howto/msn_pdf_to_jpg.html 
2. Open your file in the native application (ie Adobe Reader, PowerPoint, etc)
3. Print to the new printer, outputting to TIFF (multipage color)(the defaults for the example program above work just fine)
4. Boot OneNote
5. Insert | Picture and choose the TIFF image file

Done! You can now take notes over your inserted images. I should note that we won’t OCR the images (it uses the same print driver that doesn’t install under x64), so you won’t be able to search for words in the images or copy–and-paste their content. You will be able to take notes over them, view them, and so on.

As David wrote we are aware of this problem and there will be no fix for OneNote 2007 and we plan to address this in the next version of OneNote.  I just wanted to share this with everyone!

The Solution

Customizing the list of filters isn't an obvious action, but nor is it difficult if you're comfortable with text editors (and Eclipse users certainly should be). There may be other ways, but this is what I did:

1. Locate the directory of the Eclipse plugin being used for editing. This is usually something like eclipse/plugins/[plugin name]_[version]. I spend most of my time in Aptana, so my plugin directory is eclipse/plugins/com.aptana.ide.scripting_0.2.9.16696.
2. Open the plugin.xml file in a text editor.
3. Find the extension element whose point attribute has a value of org.eclipse.ui.ide.resourceFilters.
4. Create a new filter element like any others that already exist, but containing the needed file pattern. If no extension element is found for resourceFilters, see below.
5. Restart Eclipse using the -clean switch.

Being an Aptana user, I found that the plugin.xml file I had to edit didn't contain any resource filters so I just created one by adding the following code to the bottom of plugin.xml:

Using a class is just as simple. When writing .your_class you style all tags with a class with the name “your_class”. In the example above we have .warning which will style e.g.

The new address to access a free e-fax account is:
http://www.efax.com/efax-free

What is CHDK?

first, make a script, like /root/check_temp.sh:

#!/bin/sh
TEMP_A=`/usr/sbin/smartctl -d ata -A /dev/sda | grep Temperature | cut -d ' ' -f37`
TEMP_B=`/usr/sbin/smartctl -d ata -A /dev/sdb | grep Temperature | cut -d ' ' -f37`
THRESHOLD=65

#In case Temp B doesn't return a reading (You only have one drive)
if [ "$TEMP_B" = "" ] ; then
 TEMP_B=0
fi

#Check to make sure it's not running too hot
if [ $TEMP_A -gt $THRESHOLD ] || [ $TEMP_B -gt $THRESHOLD ] ; then
 logger -s "One of the drives has exceeded the threshold of $THRESHOLD degrees C."
 poweroff
fi

make it executable: chmod 755 check_temp.sh

edit root's crontab (/etc/crontabs/root) to include this script. This one will run the script every fifteen minutes:

# standard crontab format for busybox cron daemon.
# fields may be lists
# min    hour day month wd  command
#  *      *    *   *     *   dosomething

# save the time every 60 minutes use 7 minute past the hour.
7   *    *   *     *   date +%m%d%H%M%Y.%S > /var/lib/now
0,15,30,45 * * * * /root/check_temp.sh

Then, either reboot the box, or restart cron: /etc/init.d/crond.sh stop, etc/init.d/crond.sh start

班门弄斧，抛砖引玉

刚到美国读研究生时，一个月的TA 钱才400刀。除去吃饭，房租，电话，水电，养一辆300刀买的，除了喇叭不响，剩下哪儿都响的破车之外，所剩无几。可又想尽快富起来，于是就在暑假里，进了一家中餐馆，干起了waiter  行当。

这家中餐馆在当地还算是不错的一家餐馆。衡量餐馆档次的一个标准是看它有没有烈酒牌。在美国，不是所有的餐馆都可以卖烈性酒的。如果申请不到可以卖烈性酒的牌照，那就只能卖饮料和啤酒。当然，卖啤酒也要有牌照，只是相对来说容易申请得多。

有 了烈酒牌，餐馆就可以卖酒精度高的酒了。我们常说的白兰地，威士忌，兰姆酒，伏特加是基本的，最主要的是，用它们可以调出各式各样的鸡尾酒来。调一杯鸡尾 酒，只要一两盎司烈酒，加以其他辅料就行了，真可以说是一本百利。加上酒的种类多了，可以吸引更多的顾客，所以，餐馆都希望能卖烈酒。

这家餐馆的老板和经理都是台湾人。经理在餐馆里一般负责前台，包括招呼客人，管理waiter, waitress, 还有就是负责酒吧，当然，也包括调酒。经理和他老婆都是台湾某个大学商学院毕业的。不知为什么，就是愿意在餐馆里干。还是不知为什么， 他和我很投缘，闲来无事，就和我聊聊酒。从他那里，我知道了一些最基本的调酒常识。并且，没事，就自己弄点不同的酒尝尝。

先说常见的酒，有Gin（金酒），Whisky（威士忌），Rum（兰姆酒），Vodka(伏特加)和Brandy（白兰地）等等。这些酒可以直接喝，也可以用来勾兑成鸡尾酒。每种酒又有不同的牌子。比如，金酒有Beefeater就是瓶子上画着一个穿着红衣服的老头扛着枪的那种。威士忌有， Johnnyie Walker红带和黑带， Jack Deniel‘s。兰姆酒有Bacardi，Malibu，伏特加有SMIRNOFF，STOLICHNAY，ABSOLUT等等。

直接喝的方法一般有两种，一种加冰，叫做on the rocks, 一种不加冰，叫做straight.  加冰块可以喝起来比较爽口，不呛，但喝到后来就没味了。酒瘾较大的人，喜欢喝比较纯正的感觉，就喝straight。高级一点的老美餐馆或法国餐馆，还有自己酿的威士忌。如果在餐馆点酒，你可以说，要一个Beefeater straight 或Beefeater on the rocks。

除了点牌子直接喝，还有就是点鸡尾酒了。鸡尾酒的种类实在是太多了。这里只说几个常点的。

首推 Singapore Sling， 新加坡司令，原因是和我们的版主名字相似。它的调法是，

2 oz 金酒，1/2 oz 樱桃白兰地，1/2 柠檬挤汁，1 tsp 砂糖， 2 个冰块，在一个叫做Tom Collins glass  高脚杯里续满 carbonated water，再加上一个红樱桃作为点缀，插上吸管，玲珑剔透，晶莹可爱，很有端庄淑女的风范。

Long Island Iced Tea 长岛冰茶：

3/4 oz tequila（特奇拉，一种烈酒），3/4 oz 兰姆酒，3/4 oz 金酒，3/4 oz伏特加，3/4 oz triple sec (一种配酒的甜汁), 3/4 oz sour mix, 这些超市里都有卖的。把以上的酒混在一起搅匀，倒一点可乐，加一瓣柠檬。非常香，酒的味道也比较浓。

Pina Colada 媲娜渴拉达：

2 oz light 兰姆，3 oz 菠萝汁，2 oz 椰奶，加冰，在blender里打碎，倒进大口的高脚杯，加上樱桃和菠萝。 

Strawberry Daiquiri：2 oz light 兰姆酒。1/2 oz triple sec，1 oz 青柠檬汁，1/2 tsp 砂糖，1 个冰块，5 个草莓，把所有东西放入blender. 用高速打拌后，倒入杯中，用吸管喝。

我之所以提Pina Colada 和Strawberry Daiquiri, 除了是因为它们popular 以外，在餐馆里点drink 时，还可以为孩子们点它们，这时要说Pina Colada virgin, 或Strawberry Daiquiri virgin， 表示没有酒精，这样，bar tender 就知道这是给小朋友点的，就不放酒了。

还有一种适合小朋友喝的饮料，叫Shirley Temple, 也是不含酒精的饮料，不妨试试，他们一定爱喝，省得老是可乐，雪碧，七喜。

另外Pina Colada 和Strawberry Daiquiri 在超市里都有兑好了的，只要买来，按说明去做就行了。我以前就给儿子做过，很容易，儿子也很爱喝。到我自己喝时，加上兰姆酒就行了。

以上几种酒是不分男女。 若是男士想来点高的，常见的可以试试， screw driver（螺丝钻， 伏特加和桔汁）， 血玛莉（伏特加和番茄汁，再洒点胡椒面），曼哈顿（威士忌加味美思），Vodka Martini（伏特加马提尼），Margarita（玛格丽特， 杯口上有一圈盐）。这些都是很不错的。

老美还讲究饭后酒。常见的有KAHLÚA COFFEE， Irish Coffee.  我有一次替一个老美律师打官司当翻译。他把我和他的客户带到市里最高的酒店，吃完饭， 在弦乐四重奏乐队的伴奏下， Bar tender 表演了一通制作Irish Coffee. 

先将Irish 威 士忌到进一个高脚杯里，然后把它点燃。将燃烧着的威士忌在两个高脚之间杯到来倒去。只见一团火球在空中飞来飞去，出了这杯飞入那杯，一滴也没有洒到杯子外 面，待威士忌的火焰将要熄灭时，高脚杯的壁上已充满了威士忌的香味。这时再倒进热腾腾的咖啡，真正是美酒加咖啡，弄得我心儿醉。若不是考虑面子，可真想喝 完了这一杯，又要它第二杯。这时才能体会到何日君再来这首歌的魅力。

知道上面这几样酒，就好比郭静初学降龙十八掌一样，一招亢龙有悔，就可以应付一气了。这时，无论是和老外一起吃饭，还是自己家人出去撮，点酒就不怵了。而且，您还或许会慢慢爱上此道了。

SQL JOIN

The JOIN keyword is used in an SQL statement to query data from two or more tables, based on a relationship between certain columns in these tables.

Tables in a database are often related to each other with keys.

A primary key is a column (or a combination of columns) with a unique value for each row. Each primary key value must be unique within the table. The purpose is to bind data together, across tables, without repeating all of the data in every table.

Look at the "Persons" table:

Who takes more risk? The venture capitalist who funds a start-up, or the entrepreneur who founds it? 

Answer? The entrepreneur. 

Let me explain...

The very factors that have consumers worried about affording this year's tax bill could work in their favor this tax season.

Taxpayers whose wages were slashed in 2008 -- or worse, who were laid off -- may be eligible for tax credits that weren't within their reach in previous years. In addition, first-time home buyers and parents of children under age 17 may also be able to save a little money on their tax bill. Here are four credits that can help boost your refund:

Recovery Rebate Credit

Feel like you got shortchanged last year when the government doled out its Economic Stimulus Act rebate checks? Well, if you didn't qualify for the rebate before or didn't receive the full amount ($600 per taxpayer and $1,200 if married and filing jointly) because your income was too high (or too low), you may now be able to collect.

The rebate checks that were sent out last year were based on information on your 1040 for 2007. This second chance to collect will be based on your 2008 1040. So if your income took a hit last year, it may be worth a shot.

Homeowner Credit

For those who bought a home last year or want to in the months ahead, Uncle Sam has a little present for you. This tax credit, essentially a temporary, no-interest loan, is being offered to those who bought -- or will buy -- a home between April 9, 2008, and June 30, 2009, and who didn't own a home during the three years preceding the purchase.

The maximum amount of the credit equals either 10% of the home's price or $7,500 ($3,750 if you are married, but filing separately), whichever is less. One hitch: Homeowners will have to repay the credit over 15 years by either owing more in taxes or receiving a smaller refund.

Child Tax Credit

Many parents will be eligible to receive a tax credit of up to $1,000 per child this year as long as that child was under the age of 17 at the end of 2008. (This credit is in addition to the regular $3,500 exemption that you can claim for each dependent.)

The child tax credit begins phasing out for filers whose modified adjusted gross income is above $110,000 if they are married and filing jointly, above $75,000 for single filers, or more than $55,000 for married filing separately. In addition, the child (who can also be the filer's sibling, stepchild, grandchild, niece or nephew) must not have provided more than half of his or her own support and, in most cases, must have lived with the filer for more than half of 2008.

The one catch: The amount you receive from the child tax credit is partly based on your income, so you may not receive the full amount -- or possibly anything. If you don't qualify for any or all of the $1,000 child tax credit, you're still in luck. Try applying for the additional child tax credit, which also offers up to $1,000 per qualifying child. (Taxpayers who qualify for parts of both credits can only receive a maximum of $1,000 per eligible child.) Typically, this credit is reserved for low-income taxpayers, but a recent change in the way the IRS computes eligibility for this credit, will allow more middle-income taxpayers to qualify this year, says Eric Smith, a spokesman for the IRS.

Earned Income Tax Credit

To qualify, families with two or more children must have made less than $41,646 in 2008, and those with one child must have earned less than $36,995. Also, individuals without children who make less than $15,880 are eligible. The maximum credit for each of these groups is $4,824, $2,917 and $438, respectively.

.htaccess file is the configuration file for the Apache Web Server that provides a number of directives for configuring Apache and Apache Modules

If you look around the site you’ll notice .htaccess tricks that nobody else has, .htaccess tricks that push the limits. This isn’t an introduction to .htaccess, this is the evolution of .htaccess files for your website.

Here’s just one example of the tricks throughout these pages, this shows how you can enable password protection for your site, and how you can not only verify the username/password, but also log both failed and successful login attempts! Here’s a chart explaining

I love the Drupal CMS. One of my favorite features of Drupal is the ability to do a multisite install. This site and my other blog, i <3 stella, are hosted on the same box, using the same Drupal install. Several sites can share one codebase. Updates are easily rolled out to every site simultaneously. Overall, it's a wonderful idea. But I have some problems with the implementation...

The standard way to set up a multisite install is to point each of the domain names at the Drupal install folder and let Drupal sort out which domain each request is coming from. It does a good job, too. But this method introduces some complications. For example, any content uploaded to site a is accessible from site b. A user that visits http://site1.com/myimage.jpg will find the same image as she finds at http://site2.com/myimage.jpg. Websites can't have domain specific .htaccess or robots.txt files either, which might hurt search engine optimization of individual sites.

An interesting side effect of this is if you want to install something in a subdirectory of your site, for example a WordPress blog at http://site1.com/blog, that exact same WordPress blog will exist in its full glory at http://site2.com/blog...

Another, and perhaps more grave, problem is that all that stands between the interweb and your very own personal settings is an .htaccess file. Install scripts, includes, site configurations and database passwords are in web accessible directories, and that is never a good thing.

We'll look at one solution to these problems.

I assume here that you are using Linux hosting, that you have shell access, and that you have at least a passing acquaintance with symlinks. If you're looking for a webhost that meets these requirements, check out 1and1 shared hosting. I've been happy with them, and all of their packages above $9.99/mo will do what you need.

Microsoft/IIS guys, you can't do a symlink. You're looking for something called a junction... good luck with that.

But reputationally, it's a setback. Goldman has appeared bent on teaching Japan Inc. a lesson on how to conduct a fair offering for a company, but has come off second-best.

When lecturing others on how to run their affairs it's surely best to do so from a position of strength.
