Saving images or pdfs in db4o

Is it possible to reasonably workaround an antivirus scanning the working directory?
My Win32 application performs numerous disk operations in a designated temporary folder while functioning, and seriously redesigning it is out of the question. Some clients have antivirus software that scans the same temporary directory (it simply scans everything). We tried to talk them into disabling it - it doesn't work, so it's out ...
How to push Headers from a file on an external server to download?
The following script is what I usually use to push headers to the browser so that the dialog box appears for users to download a file. However, in this case the file resides on a different server.

Why does file_get_contents take so long?
Hello all, I make an AJAX POST request to a PHP script on my server. That script in turn makes a GET request to a php script on an external server to check the contents of a text file.

C# Binary File Compare
I'm in a situation where I want to compare two binary files. One of them is already stored on the server with a pre-calculated Crc32 in the database from when I stored it originally. I know that if the Crc is different then the files are definitely different. However, if the Crc is the same I don't know that the files are. So what I'm l...
Determining age of a file in shell script.
G'day, I need to see if a specific file is more than 58 minutes old from a sh shell script. I'm talking straight vanilla Solaris shell with some POSIX extensions it seems. I've thought of doing a touch -t YYYYMMDDHHmm.SS /var/tmp/toto where the timestamp is 58 minutes ago and then doing a find ./logs_dir \! -newer /var/tmp/toto -pr...

How can I optimize this simple PHP script?
This first script gets called several times for each user via an AJAX request. It calls another script on a different server to get the last line of a text file. It works fine, but I think there is a lot of room for improvement but I am not a very good PHP coder, so I am hoping with the help of the community I can optimize this for speed...

Should a directory path variable end with a trailing slash?
When defining a path to a directory as a variable or constant, should it end with a trailing slash? What is the convention? pwd in unix shows your current directory without a trailing slash, while the tab complete of cd /var/www/apps/ includes the trailing slash, which left me unsure. ...

Ruby open-uri file locking
I had an issue where downloading to a local file was locking it until I killed the ruby script. On a hunch, I changed the form of the call and now it doesn't lock the file. Can someone tell me why the second form below doesn't lock the file but the first one does? This form locks the local file: open(ver_local_zip, "w+").write(open(r...
