2013/2/19-3/26 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:54611 Activity:nil | 2/19 I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster. So I'm used to using
Xemacs to code. This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
but sometimes I have to use a Mac. On Mac, the meta is usually
bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
This makes using emacs a real pain. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
(Other than "use vi")

2012/3/15-6/1 [Computer/SW/Languages, Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:54340 Activity:nil | 3/15 Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
the following?
- Windows 8
- Windows Server "8"
\_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
and went over? Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

2011/12/21-2012/2/6 [Computer/HW/Laptop, Computer/SW/Editors/Emacs] UID:54269 Activity:nil | 12/21 In Emacs, how do I make it so that it will resize its screen
when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
\_ Which OS? Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
the height to be smaller?

2008/11/11-26 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:51913 Activity:nil | 11/11 lolz, in Winblows, when I move a huge directory to another directory,
it would usually go half way before asking "This is a read only
file, you sure you want to move it?" and 2 hours later I come back
and have to click "Yes." Is there a better way to move Winblows
files (without having that stupid prompt)?
\_ Use cygwin or some other CLI interface like PowerShell.

2006/8/29-31 [Computer/SW/Unix, Computer/SW/Languages/Misc] UID:44191 Activity:nil | 8/29 Any recommendations for windoze software for backing up files to an
external hard drive? I'd prefer that the backup isn't one huge .bkf
file a directory? Is this possible with the ntbackup.exe that comes
with windows XP.. Also I'd like the software to be a GUI that normal
non-technical people could run. THanks.
\_ Not for windows but if you're running any flavor of Unix, just

file from my hard drive to a DVD-RW using Explorer? I checked the
parameters for xcopy, but didn't see any options. Is there a way
to do it natively? If not, are there any good 3rd party utilities?
\_ Nero?
\_ Xcopy? CLI dos xcopy? It can preserve dates.

2004/2/23-24 [Recreation/Computer/Games] UID:12357 Activity:nil | 2/23 I was reading about 321 Studio being sued for their DVD XCopy
software. I've never used it or ever owned a DVD burner, but
I got curious and did some more reading through Google. So
apparently you can't use it to rip PS2/XBox games. Now,
would that be because of technical-related difficulties (e.g.,
it's harder to break the code on these game discs) or legal

2000/2/8 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:17456 Activity:very high | 2/7 How come it takes NT several times longer than Win95 or DOS to copy
a lot of small files to a floppy diskette? Copying a few big files
doesn't have this problem. Thx. -- yuen
\_ does xcopy solve your problem?
\_ I thought it would, but for some reason no. Both xcopy and copy
on NT are very slow when copying a lot of small files like 20KB
