This is one of those news you are starting a better day. And this is not the usual war of religion between the supporters (to which I belong) and detractors of Open Source. This news shows that the Government is moving and something that - even here - the analysis and rationalization of resources can curb wastage scandalous that we are all supine resigned. And if the same approach (analysis and rationalization) was adopted in the management of competitions, procurement and - above all - in recruitment PA? Carryover entirety (including the odd mistake in the numbers of applications) an article published a few days ago on the Internet site of the Circle of Legal Telematici and again today by Information Point.

Calculate the difference between two dates in terms of days is very, very simple with PHP. Here is the function that returns the calculation:

function days_diff( $giornoA, $meseA, $annoA, $giornoB, $meseB, $annoB )
{
$timestampA = mktime(0, 0, 0, $meseA, $giornoA, $annoA);
$timestampB = mktime(0, 0, 0, $meseB, $giornoB, $annoB);
$diff = floor(($timestampB - $timestampA) / (3600 * 24));
return $diff;
} function days_diff( $giornoA, $meseA, $annoA, $giornoB, $meseB, $annoB )
{
$timestampA = mktime(0, 0, 0, $meseA, $giornoA, $annoA);
$timestampB = mktime(0, 0, 0, $meseB, $giornoB, $annoB);
$diff = floor(($timestampB - $timestampA) / (3600 * 24));
return $diff;
} Values to be passed to the function are:

• $ giornoA, $ month, $ year: day, month and year (int) date child
• $ giornoB, $ meseB, $ annoB: day, month and year (int) date more

I have a digital camera Canon PowerShot A560 that I carry with me always. When the space on the machine begins to run out, make backups of all files on your SD Card. For some time I have made the backup using the USB cable that came with your camera. But I noticed a certain slowness in the transfer of files and - much worse - a degree of unreliability to be transferred when the video: I happened a couple of times that the transfer of a file. Forebears were shown as complete, while the disk to which I make the backup was a file with the same name as that contained in the SD Card but completely empty! Read More »

If the need for conversion to upper / lowercase all files contained in a certain directory, just follow these steps:

1. Move to the directory you want:
   cd /path/to/your/files
2. Run the following command to make the conversion to uppercase:
   for i in *; do mv $i `echo $i | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]`; done or run the following command to make the conversion in lowercase:
   for i in *; do mv $i `echo $i | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`; done

There's never happened to browse the site using the IFRAME to display some content? Apart from the fact that their use is - in my opinion - strongly inadvisable, I often have to do maintenance on old Web sites that use the IFRAME and to find myself in situations similar to the one I am about to describe.

Working daily with Debian Etch: the use extreme satisfaction with both on corporate servers that on personnel notebook (the same as I write at this moment). I am a staunch defender of the Stable branch of Debian - and any other operating system - partly because they do a professional and I can not afford the luxury of wasting time or - worse - to undermine the stability of a system to test the last trinket. On my notebook, however, I will often need to exploit a number of features that are absent or incomplete in the kernel 2.6.18, one in all the opportunity to use the NTFS-3G driver to manage the NTFS partitions.
