// ----------------------------------------------------------
// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs

This is a script that will change the resolution in Linux on a Macbook Pro Retina computer. Nvidia-current is required for the script to function properly. Tested in Ubuntu 13.04 (alpha).
#!/bin/bash
#Author: Travis Gibson
#This script requires an argument for the resolution width
#Thanks go out to eCharles for a patch in the comments of this link here: http://blog.echarles.net/2013/10/01/Ubuntu-13.04-On-MacbookPro-Retina
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "Usage: Res.sh <resolution_width>";
exit 1;
