Are there any tutorials on how to create one? Cannot seem to find one.

Help with a formula to extract text clips out of strings. Tuing SP BILL(DL/ON-SITE CONT) into DL/ON CONT and ST MISC(TRAVEL) into TRAVEL. Can this be done?

I'm having trouble removing "-SITE" from one cell without ruining the other. Here's what I have so far... =MID(A1,FIND("(",A1)+1,FIND(")",A1,FIND("(",A1)+1)-1-FIND("(",A1))

I have a calendar event with 100 participants. I want to export the email addresses (i.e. with part with @ - not just the names) into a txt file - one address per line.

If it is any help: the To-field seems to contain the same list - but with the @-addresses replaced by person names.

How do I do that without having to double click every person to find their @-address?

We recently changed from Comcast inteet to AT&T DSL. Since then we're having static on our phone line, which is a Vonage VOIP line. I'm assuming I need a filter, but I'm not sure where to put it since the phone line doesn't actually plug into the wall. Should the filter still go between the wall and the AT&T line? Or between the phone line and the Vonage modem? Or between the Vonage modem and the AT&T modem? And is it just a single filter that I need, or one with a splitter? Thanks

I'm on Mint 17.3 on Toshiba Satellite L500, and all of a sudden (possibly following an update), my keyboard started to act really quirky.

Some keystrokes are received with a lag, some are not, and some get doubled. This isn't tied to any particular keys.

Any ideas about what the problem might be and how to diagnose it?

This looks like a hardware/driver issue -- I get the behavior in virtual consoles too, and an exteal USB keyboard works fine. Unfortunately, using an exteal keyboard with a laptop isn't very practical.

I would like to add a custom HTTP Header to every Inteet Explorer request on a computer (or every browser request). I don't know if this is possible whatsoever, if you have heard of anyway to accomplish such a task, could you please point me in a general direction?

I've thought about opening IE with a PowerShell wrapper, or editing the registry but can't find out if headers can be modified that way. I'm open to whatever options may be available but I'm coming up short in a way to achieve this. Thank you!

I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question and I appreciate any guidance or ideas whatsoever.

I've been stuck with this problem for months. I have over 50 DV tapes (from and old Sony camcorder) to be converted to a more mode, usable format (most likely H264). I've started off with pulling the files to my PC (via firewire) using DVGRAB. There I had two options: pulling RAW data from the dv tape, resulting in a muxed file OR demuxing it and saving to a DVI file.

That's where the problems started. Saving it to a DVI file resulted in the audio being out of sync. I thought it's a problem with DVGRAB so I saved the RAW files (which are synced correctly) and wanted to process them with ffmpeg.

It tus out that no matter how I demux it the audio is always out of sync. BEFORE you say anything about the sampling frequency - the audio differences are of absolutely random length. An hour long tape can have between 0.1 and 4 seconds of audio lag at the end.

Here's an example file that I've split into separate audio and video files to check the differences.

This particular one differs by 1.448 seconds. As I said the differences vary greatly.

As for the solution. I could just stretch the audio and combine it with the video (I've tested that), but I can't be certain if the audio will be in sync somewhere in the middle of the recording.

I think I've pinpointed the source of this behaviour. Whenever I tu the camera on or off (as to start and stop recording) the video starts just a tiny bit faster then the audio. So the more "fragments" are on the tape, the more these differences add up.

How can I fix this? Is there a way to demux the audio and video with timestamps, so that after conversion they will add up correctly? Or is there anyway to fill these gaps in audio, so that both streams are the same size to begin with?

First I noticed that if I go to http://example.org/wp-config.php, it gives me an empty page instead of 404 error. I tested it with another file - wp-config-example.php, and it gave me a page with the following text: "Error establishing a database connection". So it definitely just executed that php script. If I go to http://example.org/wp-content/themes/TheFox/screenshot.png, apache2 serves me that file.

This seems very dangerous to me. I didnt know about it for some time and kept a .sql backup of the whole wordpress database in the wordpress directory - anyone could've downloaded it.

I've just configured apache2 with <Directory /path/to/wordpress/dir/, and it worked, so I thought everything's done right, but now I am in doubt.
