6h	comment	*How to `rm `, an actual file named “”?* @jlliagre The questions are not the same, but the answers are, and they boil down to escaping the glob, or quoting it, so anybody looking to remove such a file should find the answers helpful.
7h	comment	How to remove files in different folders? This will horribly fail if any of the paths found contains a space. A safer alternative would be to remove the files and folders found through the exec option of find. Please note that you have to escape back ticks or indent code by 4 spaces.
7h	comment	How to remove files in different folders? Does it print the files if you leave out the delete option?
9h	comment	How to install htop on osx using brew? Yeah, I'd remove the other one and reinstall the brew version if you don't need it to be the exact same version—it can be that they're a little different.
12h	comment	Suddenly computer no longer boots from USB Anthony, please register your account, and then use the process here to merge your accounts: superuser.com/help/user-merge – seems you've lost your cookie and your question & answer need to be reassociated.
12h	comment	can I know if anyone access/copy data from server? Hi Annie! We require much more information in order to be able to help you. Please be as specific as possible about what "some web data" is. What kind of website are you hosting? Does it consist of plain HTML documents, or do you run a CMS with some database in the backend? Where do you host it? On a local machine, or some remote server? What OS and server software is running there? Who has access to that server? And finally, if you're part of that web team, why not ask around who did it?
13h	comment	How to install htop on osx using brew? Did you install `emacs` through Homebrew already? If so, you can probably just overwrite it.
13h	comment	How can I install mediafilesegmenter for OS X? Hmm, but HTTP Live Streaming Tools are not the same as MakeRefMovie as far as I can see. I noticed that it points to the same file as well, weird. Sorry, no idea at this point.
13h	comment	How can I install mediafilesegmenter for OS X? Does it say anywhere that a program called `mediafilesegmenter` would be installed? The package you downloaded does not contain such a binary.
1d	comment	Concatenating videos using FFMPEG @KronoS "it keeps copying the same frames and progresses extremely slowly" :)
1d	comment	Use search engine to list all possible values of an attribute? If you can point us to those we will close them accordingly – if warranted, that is.
1d	comment	Disconnected: no supported authentication methods available Welcome to Super User! It'd be nice if you could explain what these commands do.
1d	comment	Maximum number of files in Dropbox? Like @mdpc says, I suggest asking this in the Dropbox support forums to get an authoritative answer. FWIW I have more than 40,000 files in my Dropbox.
2d	comment	Autoselect checkbox and save that value to the DB Your question isn't clear to me. If you don't need the checkbox then leave it out. Just send the AJAX call. Programming questions are off topic here though.
2d	comment	*How can I get a diiferent look* when I'm working on a remote server** I'm gonna close this as a dupe of your previous question. If you weren't able to comment or edit it, that might have been because it wasn't yet associated with your user account after being migrated here. As @Tanner said, next time you can just hit `flag` and tell a moderator what's up, that'd be the easiest.
2d	comment	VP9 encoding using FFmpeg What version of `libvpx` do you have on your system? How was your `ffmpeg` compiled? Please show the output of `ffmpeg -codecs \| grep vpx`.
2d	comment	Avconv Can not resample 6 channels Does Libav have a proper guide for compilation under Linux, or any static builds? If so, it'd be appreciated if you could link to that here. Thanks!
2d	comment	Merge three files into one in a bash script Alternatively `cat "${n}1" …` if someone prefers that for aesthetic reasons: The parameter name or symbol to be expanded may be enclosed in braces, which are optional but serve to protect the variable to be expanded from characters immediately following it which could be interpreted as part of the name (Bash manual) – cc @ToDo
2d	comment	Merging two folders with the same or different names What operating system are you on? Is there anything you've already tried?
2d	comment	How to visualize the amount of changes in the video on a timeline? Can you get hold of a MATLAB license? I might have some code that basically does most of this work already. Although there should be security / surveillance software that is already made for this pretty common task.
