Resetting OS X Password

To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
Reboot
Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

Mac PowerPoint vs. Windows PowerPoint

Apple的使用率在美國還挺高的, 尤其在學界
可是Mac跟Windows 兩個作業系統的PowerPoint的相容性, 實在是不敢恭維
最大的問題是, Mac上的 PowerPoint不會自動轉換多媒體格式, 導致在Mac上做的 PowerPoint移到 Windows上時會沒辦法顯示
就算在 Windows上裝了QuickTime也不能解決

為了看到上課的 slide, Google了一下這個問題
解法如下:
1) Save PPT as Webpage
2) Search for pcz-Files
3) unpack pcz-Files by Gzip or WinRar
4) extract and add extension .pict to the files
5) convert PICT-Files into JPG (QuickTime is needed to be installed)
6) reinsert into PPT

粉麻煩, 但至少有解. 感覺這是 Microsoft在 PowerPoint裡留下的伏筆, 讓 Mac 到 Windows上做簡報變的很難

Speeding Up Matlab

Java 'Out of memory' errors
修改或新增下列程式碼於 'java.opts' (in $MATLAB/bin/win32/java.opts)
-XX:PermSize=72m
-XX:MaxPermSize=72m
-Xmx256m
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
除此之外, 可以參考 Sun JVM的微調參數, 做更進一步的調教

Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Matlab
修改系統變數 MATLAB_JAVA
更換Matlab內建的 BLAS函式庫
先找出你CPU對應最佳化Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (BLAS)函式庫, 然後修改 BLAS_VERSION這個系統變數, 去使用最佳化函式庫
理論上, 這對舊版的 Matlab 6有奇效, 因為舊的 Matlab並沒有使用最佳化的函式庫, 改用新的至少會快兩倍
以下是 Intel 最佳化函式庫 9.1.2版的對照表 (最新版是 10.1)
mkl_p3 Kernel optimized for Intel® Pentium® III processor
mkl_p4 Kernel optimized for Intel® Pentium® 4 processor
mkl_p4m Kernel optimized for Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor
mkl_p4p Kernel optimized for Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with SSE3 Instructions
可以用 LAPACK_VERBOSITY=1 來檢查 BLAS的版本

Optimized Elementary MATLAB Functions
用在 PII以上, 可以快上兩三倍

Transforming a Unused Laptop into a Secondary Monitor

Install ZoneScreen and make the desktop extended to the virtual monitor.
Then, use the ZS Wizard to set up a screen server on my Windows. Run the the client mode of ZS Wizard via Wine on my Linux laptop and connect it to the Windows box.
Note:
1. The latest ZoneScreen 1.0.11.0 did not show virtual monitor on my Windows XP and the SC Wizard did not show the cursor. Version 1.0.10.0 worked fine.
2. TightVNC 2.0.2 did not support projecting only secondary monitor to the VNC client (remmina 0.8.1 with libvncclient). UltraVNC 1.0.8.2 did not show my cursor in the client. RealVNC 4.1.3 refused to make connection.

數據傳輸優化篇

http://floss.blog.51cto.com/683157/138088

經過一個快速的簡單測試，可以明顯看到：建立ssh數據通道進行傳輸時，缺省使用的加密方式(3des-cbc為缺省優先選擇加密算法)和指定 arcfour（在openssl中為rc4）的傳輸速率相差很大，是否使用壓縮參數也差異顯著，大概有5倍左右的傳輸速率差異。

請取消如下參數：
-z壓縮選項，避免浪費CPU解壓縮計算資源。對於已經壓縮過或者可壓縮性很低的文件就不要使用此選項了。對於純文本或者有高壓縮率的文件可以考慮使用。但建立ssh加密通道時最好是別用了。鑑於目前大多數情況下的數據傳輸的實際使用場景，建議不要使用-z壓縮選項。

ssh的 cipher可用算法列表，同時也是缺省使用次序：3des-cbc, aes128-cbc, aes192-cbc, aes256-cbc, aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr, arcfour128, arcfour256, arcfour, blowfish-cbc, andcast128-cbc

尋找最快的加密算法的方法，用於選擇ssh的fastest cipher參數：openssl speed @ Linux hottie 2.6.33-ZEN #1 ZEN i686 Pentium M 1.73GHz

網上流行藍牙驅動簡單介紹 ver1.2

http://benyouhui.it168.com/viewthread.php?tid=913133

目前藍牙市場還是稍顯混亂，近日買了一個MOTO S805藍牙耳機，連接過程中碰到諸多問題，自忖解決問題的能力也不算差，還是花了好多天才搞定，在這裡說明一下自己在解決問題過程中的理解，力圖作出一個提綱掣領的表述，讓將來的兄弟們不至於在多種驅動的複雜情況面前暈頭轉向、多走彎路。

書歸正傳。現在做藍牙芯片硬件的主要有兩家廠商，CSR(Cambridge Silicon Radio)和博通(Broadcom)；做驅動的有四家，Widcomm、IVT BlueSoleil、東芝、微軟和蘋果，蘋果的比較少，在此按下不表。



微軟Microsoft
Compatibility: ★★★★★
Perference: ★★
其中微軟做的驅動也就是所謂系統自帶驅動，兼容性最好，而性能最弱。細究原因不難想像，在其他藍牙廠商各行其是的情況下，微軟為了保證自己系統的兼容性，必然要推出一款免費的驅動。以微軟的能力不難把驅動做得很好，但是其他廠商的驅動都是要收錢的，微軟把東西做得太好必然要觸犯到廠商的利益，精力不放在這片兒的微軟顯然沒有必要做這種吃力不討好事情。自帶驅動不支持藍牙耳機。

東芝Toshiba
Compatibility: ★★★★
Perference: ★★★
除了微軟的驅動是免費的，本文要介紹的其他三家驅動都需要授權。東芝的驅動主要用在品牌機上，例如索尼、富士通、明基的內置藍牙多隨機附送東芝的驅動。如果要更新東芝的驅動，需要先保存授權舊版本的授權文件TosBtChk.dll，替換新版本的同名文件。東芝的驅動兼容性也不錯，對於芯片沒有太大要求，但是穩定性有限，在我S805的藍牙芯片最初錯裝在信號不良的位置的時候，IVT能夠提供相對穩定的連接，而東芝最新驅動的中斷情況更為嚴重。

IVT和widcomm
IVT的驅動和Widcomm的驅動比起上面兩個，可以用「更多，更貴，更強」來形容，它們都需要不菲的授權費用，但是性能相應地也大有提高，缺點有兩個，一是挑芯片，二是要破解。

前面說到CSR(Cambridge Silicon Radio)和博通(Broadcom)做藍牙芯片硬件，在藍牙1.1時代CSR非常有優勢，但是1.2時代之後博通將Widcomm收購令其不再支持CSR的芯片，奠定了博通的領導地位。受到重擊的CSR迅速扶植起台灣的IVT，並憑藉低價策略繼續與博通分庭抗禮，但是風光早遠遠不如往昔。這就是前面說到的「挑芯片」，IVT驅動主要支持CSR芯片，而Widcomm不肯支持CSR芯片。

Widcomm
Compatibility: ★★★
Perference: ★★★★★
按我的感覺，Widcomm驅動應該是要比IVT強一點，所以很多兄弟也是想方設法要讓Widcomm支持CSR芯片。Widcomm網上流傳多種版本，最多的是5.0.1.801破解版。這個版本遠不是最新，但是已經完成破解，解除了芯片限制和版權提示，安裝起來比較方便。而實際上Widcomm的版本已經更新得非常後面，07年XP版就更新到了5.1.0.4200，現在兩年過去都不知道到了多少。這些後面的版本一般使用破解工具手動破解，破解的內容一是芯片限制，二是版權提示。流行的破解工具可以把這兩個限制都破解，按照說明操作即可，在此也不多說。破解芯片限制的原理是修改安裝文件中的一個inf文件，把自己芯片的PID和KID信息按格式加入，而破解版權提示修改相應註冊表鍵值也就可以了……沒有錯，這種限制實在是形同虛設- -b

版本

5.0.1.801
已破解
立體聲與耳麥功能分開
5.1.0.3600及以後
需使用工具手動破解
立體聲與耳麥功能整合;
性能比801有加強

IVT
Compatibility: ★★★★
Perference: ★★★★
IVT驅動的版本也很多，比較有價值的從3.2開始，歷經中間的5.0.5，直到最新的6.4系列版本。從3.2版本開始就比較穩定，大家不必盲目求新，試用中我感覺3.2提供的耳機信號比後續版本都要穩定。網上流傳的3.2版本一般是替換DLL文件和安裝完成後的主執行文件來破解。和後續版本比起來，這個版本只有IVT的「太陽系」經典管理界面，而後續版本同時提供了和其他驅動一樣的資源管理器界面。6.4系列驅動的破解和3.2系列相似，也是用替換文件來完成，但是MOTO S805的奇怪之處就在於驅動沒破解則傳輸正常、一旦用替代文件法破解就不能正常發聲（至少我的是這樣），因此我最後使用的是5.0.5，此版本網上流傳的破解是運行一個crack文件。IVT還有一個缺點是開機之後要手動連通，比方說，在登陸界面，不能使用藍牙鍵盤輸入密碼。

版本
破解方式
性能
3.2
替換dll和exe文件
界面單一; 性能可能最穩定; 破解後可能不能連接Moto S805
5.0.5
運行Crack文件
界面改良; 性能穩定; 運行後可以穩定連接Moto S805
6.4
替換dll和exe文件
界面改良; 性能穩定; 破解後可能不能連接Moto S805


綜上來說，如果使用雜牌藍牙適配器，一般只能用微軟的驅動；如果使用博通的芯片，最省心，可以直接使用Widcomm驅動；如果使用CSR芯片，可以考慮破解Widcomm驅動，如果出現問題則使用IVT驅動，3.2或者6.4的破解存在問題的情況下可以換用5.0.5，反之亦然。

Apple's HFS+ driver for Windows

I need to access the HFS+ partition in my external hard disk. But, Windows does not recognized HFS+ partition. There are few solutions. One is to buy MacDrive which can bring both read and write ability to Windows. But, I don't want to "write" to HFS+ partition which can potentially mess up the file system. Besides, it's not free. Or one can use HFSExplorer which is free and open source. But, one can not operate on the file directly through native Windows interface which is counter-intuitive.
Recently, I found that Apple's Bootcamp contain driver which can let Windows recognized and read HFS+ partition. This let me wonder can I extract the driver from Bootcamp and install the driver in Windows. After some search, bingo!, I found the solution here: http://efixusers.com/showthread.php?p=7388
In short, all you need is two system drivers from Bootcamp, AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys, and a little registry tweak.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Using Skype Under Linux

I have been fighting to get webcam work in Skype under Linux for few days. At first, it didn't work at all. Later, I figure out I need to put
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
before using Skype.

But, this didn't solve all the problem.
So, I kept searching and final found some weird X Window error:

X Error, request 132, minor 18, error code 8 BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

And found the solution here:
