When KDE freezes, my Kubuntu system often takes too long to respond to Ctrl-Alt-Esc, Ctrl-Alt-Del and Ctrl-Alt-F1, and I have to hard-reboot the computer. Is there any way to forcibly interrupt KDE and its apps, and get a console shell without the delay of Ctrl-Alt-F1? Once that's done, are there tools other than htop that can help me find and kill the process responsible for the freeze? Neon Merlin 00:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Kinda long question-if this isn't the place could you recommend me a good forum at least?
I was cleaning a computer for virus and such (its pretty old and hasn't been running with any anti vir besides Windows defender). I ran Avira, Super Anti-Spyware, and A-2 Squared. Combined they found 5 virus (I don't have the computer in front of me so I can't say names). That solved one of the problems with the computer- that every time explorer.exe was opened the computer would crash and need to be restarted w/ power button.
However the internet still crashes randomly sometimes (regardless of browser) on random webpages. I can see the whole screen but it is completely frozen, so I need to restart it with the power button. Any ideas as to what could be causing it? Any way I could get the error report from my computer of the incident (I can't find Dr. Watson and I'm not sure how to use HijackThis! because it causes the computer to crash so I have to restart it). The problem is sporadic which really confuses me. I can't guarantee but I think it sometimes appears on sites with only text.
Secondly (not so important): what would you recommend as a good anti virus (pay or free-either way)? Out of Avira, Avast, AVG, Norton, McAffee, or anything else what would you recommend. I don't want it to be to hard on resources so I don't mind compromising some detections because I can run on-demand scanner (Super Anti-Spyware, A-2 Squared).

Is there a way to limit the download speed of people connecting to a web server, based on their ip address? Say for example the server has a poor upload speed, if one person downloads a lot of images at once they can make the entire site unreachable to others. Is there a way to do this?

hey can some one tell me how to make a batch file to del a particular FOLDER on computer.
is this correct
@echo off C:XYZ/ABC/ del CDF y exit
(where ABC, XYZ, CDF are folders and i want to delete CDF...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sushil shenoy ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
@echo off (Causes batch file to run silently) c: (Change to drive C) cd \xyz\abc (On current drive (now C:) move to folder \xyz\abc. Note \ not /) del cdf /q (delete files in folder cdf. Not all DOSes have /q (quiet)) rmdir cdf (remove folder) (batch file exits when it falls off the bottom.)
Make the batch file without @echo off. Make a folder, copy some files into it and try it. Alter to suit. -- SGBailey ( talk) 14:53, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
@echo off del c:\xyz\abc\cdf /q rmdir c:\xyz\abc\cdf
Is there a way using a currently available audio software package of removing or reducing the reverberation on a recording I have on cd? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.44.241 ( talk) 16:50, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Is there a way to create a direct link to search results from this page? When I do a search for "keathley george", the results show up at http://www.abmc.gov/search/detailwwnew.php, but if you go to that URL directly, the information is blank. I'd like a direct link to the search results to use as a reference for an article. Thanks. — jwillbur 23:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
