autocompletion for sqlplus

Looking for an autocompletion and probably command history for sqlplus? sqlplus is a text based Oracle client though it lacks of some minimum required feature like autocompletion and command history. But there is always a workaround. "rlwrap", a unix tool. It can add to any text tool programs the ability to have autocompletion and command history.

how to make your nokia symbian smart phone to be a wifi hotspot

That's pretty easy, dudes. You can just use *JoikuSpot*! Search this on Google! They have both light version which is free and premium version which is better. There is one pitfall. JoikuSpot will just drain your battery pretty fast. Well, if you just have a charger with you!

Dear unsigned_nerd,

There is a problem with Nokia E71. You cannot use the latest version of MfE. The problem is that in always on mode, the connection to the Exchange server will just keep failing. To make it work, you have to use a specific version of MfE which you can get it here: http://unsigned-nerd.blogspot.com

We have removed the comment since it appears to violate the Ovi Store content guidelines.

Nokia is committed to providing a safe and fun service for the consumers. Repeated violations of the content guidelines may lead to termination of the account. Please continue to use Ovi Store but please review the Content Guidelines for what is not allowed on the service.

personal diary for symbian

Currently, there is no working personal diary application for symbian yet. The closest one I found is Life Remark. However, it contains some significant bugs, difficult to backup, limitation on the number of characters for each daily page.

Mail for Exchange stops working when there are too many emails in the inbox

Today my Mail for Exchange 2.7 (symbian) just stopped working. When I started the synchronization, it just showed error. I noticed that my inbox contained around 420 emails. I then went to the web interface of my Exchange provider and moved all the emails in my inbox into my archived folder and then everything just works! This maybe a limitation of Mail for Exchange 2.7!

Do not grant sudo to execute vi as root

If you grant sudo for a user to execute vi as root, it simply means you give that user a root shell. This is because user can use vi to invoke a shell by using ":!" vi command. Moreover, user can also use vi to open any abritary file as vi does not restrict the files to be read/written to its file list parameters upon invokation.

The best ways to grant sudo to user to edit a file are:

#1 find a text editor that cannot invoke a shell and can open files that are provided as command line arguments upon invokation only

Or #2 chgrp that file to be group editable and add that user into that group

E71 - "Unable to complete installation from memory card..." error

Hello folks,

First off, thank you very much everyone in this post, I got my same problem resolved. I resolved this problem by going to the 'view log' in 'application manager' and uninstalling one-by-one the applications I had installed in descending order (by date). For each uninstallation, I switched off and on the phone to see the effect.

The application that made this annoying popup upon turning on the phone is the Thai Language Pack for Nokia Dictionary that I had installed it into memory card.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but now into the phone memory and everything is good now.
