Where is the fogbugz connection string? - fogbugz

Where is the fogbugz connection string to the database? Can I manually change this?

32-bit server or 64-bit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fog Creek Software\FogBugz\[your FogBugz install directory]\
64-bit server with FogBugz running in 32-bit mode
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Wow6432Node\SOFTWARE\Fog Creek Software\FogBugz[your FogBugz install directory]\
Yes, you can change it manually, but you can also contact us for help on it. customer-service#fogcreek.com

Yes you can. (if you have FogBugz admin priveleges that is...)
In the app, you can find it in Admin menu>Site>Database>Source

How can I use xcode without having administrator privileges on a mac?

My school has macs available in the library. I would like to learn how to develop iOS apps, but I cannot install xcode on the school's computers without administrative privileges. Is it possible to use a friends mac to install xcode on an external drive and bring it with me to school? If not, is there some other workaround besides getting the school admins to install it on a single mac for me? I'm afraid that if they install it on one computer it might not always be available when I want to use it. I also cannot afford to buy even the least expensive mac right now, so I am not sure how I can pursue my interests :(
I know the Intel-based Macs (not sure about other models) running os X 10.7 upwards allow you to boot from external disk. If you make a complete installation, you can boot from that disk but it has to be bootable.
Just restart the computer and hold down "option" key when you hear the chime sound. Select the disk and and it should work fine.
Hope that helps.
I had the same problem. It is not possible. You need to make a formal request to system admin to help you install "development tools" like Xcode, and most of the times they agree. If that does not work, ask a professor to make that request for you.

How do I develop self-hosted Rails app

Suppose I have Rails 4 app, call it "Super SaaS". Now my client says he likes my appvery much, but he doesn't want his data to be in the cloud. So he says he would buy a licience from me to deploy "Super SaaS" on his own server. More like Atlassian Jira.
The question is: is there any secure way(in terms of protecting source code) to do that?
While you can probably package up your code as a JRuby application with JAR files and Java byte code, there are decompilers for that, so you can never presume your source to be 100% secure.
Ideally you'd offer some sort of VM appliance that the customer can install, a system image compatible with VMWare or whatever virtualization system they're using. This helps package up a fairly secure environment, but won't protect against a determined adversary trying to get your source code.
If you're giving out your code to someone in any form, compiled or otherwise, you have to have a certain amount of trust. Even compiled executables are not immune to reverse-engineering.

How can I set up a OpenVMS VM environment

I am looking to set up a VM running openVMS if there is a free version or possibly freeVMS? I essentially want to set up a VMS environment with the EVE and EDI editors.
I run a Mac so I'd like to set it up on that, I could sort out a PC if necessary but I'd rather not.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
James
If you are not going to use OpenVMS commercially you can get free licenses from here. They will also provide you with access to downloadable media once you register.
The only free emulator I'm aware of that runs on OS X is the VAX emulator in SIMH. See the SIMH github project.
There are various Alpha emulators; most assume a Windows host, though I think there is now one that runs on Linux.
You can use a virtual machine running Windows XP on MAC OS X, and install PersonalAlpha (by Stromasys) in there. All you need then are the OpenVMS Hobbyist Licenses and media to install from.
BTW, these are the free Alpha emulators running on Windows I know about:
PersonalAlpha by Stromasys
FreeAXP by Migration Specialties
For linux:
AXPNCE by Stromasys
Commercial Alpha (and VAX) emulators:
vtAlpha by AVTware. This is basically a modified Linux with an Alpha emulator. They have no plans for a free version for non-commercial use.
Avanti and AvantiFlex by Migration Specialties.
Charon AXP products by Stromasys

Registry Write Privileges on Windows 7 with Delphi 7

Modern versions of Windows have their users running without admin rights by default. This is controlled by UAC.
The solution is usually not to attempt to gain admin rights. Instead you should stop attempting things that need admin rights unless you really do need to. Typically only install programs need admin rights.
You don't say why you are writing to a restricted area of the registry but you should be able to find an alternative to doing so.
You can only write without restriction in HKEY_CURRENT_USER section only - and that will almost be suficient.
To write other parts of registry make an installer.
Otherwise you need Administrator Rights or manifest file.

Scanning uploaded files with Antivirus SDK

I'm creating a website with fileuploading functionality. I need to antivirus scan the files being uploaded. I'm currently running MS Forefront, but I don't know if it has builtin functionality for this purpose? Alternatively I need an AV SDK, but I don't really know any.
Any help on this issue?
You could take a look at Kaspersky's SDK:

ClamAv also has a command line scanner which might suit your needs:

There are some other options such as:
Microsoft Security Essentials: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/command-line-utility-for-microsoft-security-essentials
Avast (Pro): http://avast.helpmax.net/en/command-line-scanner/using-the-command-line/
