MySQL: ERROR 1114 (HY000) at line 4424: The table ‘X’ is full

Even though this could be a limitation by your file system check the value of the system variable:

myisam_data_pointer_size

If it’s set to 4 then the table can be a maximum of 4GB in size but if it’s set to 6 then the table can be a maximum of 256TB…

To fix this try:

edit /etc/my.cnf

And add this line to the end of it:

myisam_data_pointer_size = 6

Save it and restart mysql:

service mysql restart

I hope this helps…

How To Disable “X has stopped working” Popup In Windows Vista

This one is funny, even if you turn off error reporting in your “Control Panel” you will still get popups saying “X has stopped working”, that’s annoying…

To do this click on the Windows icon and where it says “Start Search” type:

regedit

Hit “Enter” and in your registry editor navigate to this location:

Computer > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Stupidsoft (or Microsoft) > Windows

Click on “Windows Error Reporting” and on the right side, you will see a list starting with “(Default)”.

Double click on “DontShowUI” and in the popup under “Value data:” enter 1 and hit “Enter”.
Do this for: DisableArchive, Disabled, DisablesQueue, DontSendAdditionalData

Close your registry editor and go to:

Control Panel > Problem Reports and Solutions > Change Settings > Advanced Settings

Under “For my programs, problem reporting is:” select “Off”

Click OK and you are all set, remember though, this will turn off everything…

I hope this helps…

Fixing: “Client host rejected: rDNS/DNS validation failed. Please setup matching DNS and rDNS”

This was the error message we were getting while trying to email Craigslist.org email addresses and here is how to get some clues about this problem.

So login to your server and on the command line type:

> host IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_SERVER

Note, the IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_SERVER is in the same message from Craigslist.org just find the line ““; xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx will be an IP address.

Now when you run this you will get something like:

> BLAH_BLAH domain name pointer SOME_DOMAIN_NAME.

If you do the reverse and check for SOME_DOMAIN_NAME, you should get the same IP address as above:

> host SOME_DOMAIN_NAME
SOME_DOMAIN_NAME has address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

If the IP address doesn’t match the one you used above then your emails to Craigslist.org will bounce back with the message:

“Client host rejected: rDNS/DNS validation failed. Please setup matching DNS and rDNS”

Fix:

To fix this you have two options, using your ISPs mail server or fixing the issue above, if you choose to fix the issue above, then you must contact your hosting provider, because you most probably won’t have the option to do it directly from yous server, contact them and tell them that the result of these two host operations don’t match and they will fix it for you very quickly… Note: The person who can fix this is the person who is in charge of your network, so in most cases it’s your hosting provider or maybe your IP department (if the servers are in your office).

I Know Which Tablet I Want

OK, if you are an Apple fan, don’t be mad at me, I like Apple but I don’t like the spooky-dishonesty stuff…

To be honest, some Apple fans are kind of scary, have you ever seen their comments on YouTube or elsewhere? It’s like Apple is their religion and Steve Jobs is their profit, no wonder… :)

Anyways, things like this bother me a lot:

1 – Showing that the device supports Flash in the ads when in reality it doesn’t, do you realise someone big in that company said “Let’s make it look like it supports Flash in the ads!”???

2 – Steve Jobs said that they designed the A4 chip “right here at Apple” but in reality it is a ARM Cortex chip!!!!

On the other hand, there is going to be a very, very interesting product out soon, it’s HP Slate, the name is kind of lame but it will be running a full version of Windows 7 and under the hood, it has a NVIDIA Tegra 2, which is a very cool chip; it has dual ARM Cortex 1GHz CPUs!

I have a big laptop for work, but I have a little one that I carry around EVERYWHERE with me and it’s very handy, for watching videos and stuff other than work. I was hoping that the iPad could replace that but it didn’t turn out to be that way, HP Slate on the other hand, will do exactly that.

Sorry Apple…

I Want An iPad

I’m not an apple customer, I’ve been thinking about switching to Mac for a while but that requires Mac based software for our work so I’m not ready yet.

But seeing Steve Jobs introduce the iPad, we’ve decided we each want one!

I love everything about this device, I don’t know who will buy a Netbook or a Kindle, or at least I wouldn’t…

There are some things that I like to see on this device, one is a complete Mac-like OS (rather than iPhone) although I know it’s OS 10 already but it would be really nice to have that. The other thing is a camera but I will buy one regardless of these features.

The only thing that disappoints me about this device is that, I have to wait 2-3 months for it to come out, I will write more as soon as I have it.

Microsoft Link Worked Only In FireFox?!!!

So I had to open a support ticket on Windows Live Hotmail because of some problems and the link to the form didn’t work in IE, it said “Error on the page” in the status bar and nothing happened so I had to use FireFox! The Irony!

When I see these things and issues in IE and Windows itself, I wonder, what are they doing there? Clearly someone is not doing their job properly. It’s sad because once I really liked MS products and they do somethings very well but I find myself thinking of switching to Mac more and more these days.

My brother bought a Mac Book Air and he says that he will NEVER buy a PC again…

Google Just Gave The Idea To OS Giants!

So Microsoft:

1 – Can you make your OS boot up in less than 10 seconds in a regular – in terms of hardware speed – computer?
2 – Could you modify your OS so that it doesn’t get slow over time?

This is really the time for these modifications…

How to clean the screen with PHP in Linux (cls, Linux, PHP)

Here is the trick, in your script use:

system("clear");

To make it work on both Windows and Linux:

if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) == 'WIN')
   system("cls");
else
   system("clear");

I hope this helps someone.

Computers of the future

They are going to be just a monitor, a touch screen monitor, there will be a keyboard on the screen if you want to type anything, there will be no keyboard, mouse or touch pad.
Probably in the next 5 years they will be everywhere, you might not be able to buy one of these either :)
