If you miss having the Caps Lock button on your #Chromebook… (via: Google Chrome – Google+)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/13
This reminds me about mapping the CapsLock to Windows-key on old Lenovo keyboard (you can do that [Wayback/Archive] with ReMapKey from Microsoft, the [Wayback/Archive] slightly more convoluted open source SharpKeys, or a AutoHotKey script), and a [Wayback] Mac equivalent:
MacOS:
I like to have a second Control key instead of Caps Lock.
In OS X, go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys… and change or turn off Caps Lock, Control, Option and Command.
For more radical key remapping in OS X, use KeyRemap4MacBook. Despite the name, it works on non-Macbook machines, too.
…
ChromeBook:
If you miss having the Caps Lock button on your #Chromebook, you can turn the Search button into a Caps Lock button in a couple steps: find “Keyboard Settings” under the “Settings” menu, and select “Caps Lock” under the “Search” drop-down menu.
Or you can use this quick link on your Chromebook: chrome://settings/keyboard-overlay
Chromebook has [Wayback/Archive] quite some different keys than a Windows keyboard.
Ben Ostrowsky has a nice post with an SVG drawing of the [Wayback/Archive] Chromebook keyboard layout.

COMPACT.EXE to compress files, folders and volumes that use NTFS (via: The Old New Thing – Site Home – MSDN Blogs)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/13
Thanks Raymond Chen for suggesting about [WayBack] COMPACT.EXE to set NTFS compression flags for files, directories or volumes:
The command-line tool for this is COMPACT.EXE. Type compact /? for usage information.
Example to recursively compress D:\backup:
compact /C /S /A D:\backup\*.*

nmap finger printing: Usage and Examples
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/13
Just append -O and -v to a command-line:
nmap -O -v ip-address
Note you need administrative privileges for this on Mac OS X, so there you run it like this:
sudo nmap -O -v ip-address
If you want to scan more than the default 1000 TCP ports, then use the -p- switch:
sudo nmap -O -v -p- ip-address
For more info about the finger printing algorithms used by nmap:
