I don't like paper documents. I like everything stored on a server. I'd like to avoid printing, signing, and scanning, if possible. How do I get signatures from people to sign-off on forms and still keep it digital? The purpose of signing is to prove that certain departments have OK'd the document. Most of these people are non-techn...
Hi, I am busy writing my thesis (so, I guess this could count as a homework question). Now, one of the things that came up was the Unix select system call. I would like to add a reference to the appropriate man page, but all I can find that seems the slight bit official is the Single Unix Specification site that wants my money first. Sur...
I'm looking for a way to determine if a specific tray on a given printer in Windows is out of paper.

But I'd like to know if a specific tr...

I have found loads of papers ...

I'm putting together something I'll soon release as OSS and I wanted to make a map of dependencies to get a clearer idea of the big picture. I ended up making the mind map myself using pen and paper: This is something I wish I could do more often, but mapping bigger projects manually is too troublesome (and virtually impossible due to...

For the sake of simplicity, I'm assuming that the HTML page will only contain text (no images etc.) and there will b...
