Sometimes we cannot successfully install packages using "pip install". We can then try to find compiled bundle in "exe" format for the specified python release version we are using.

If we found bundle compiled by some other developers and we want to install it into a specific virtualenv rather than globally, we can simply use the easy_install tool under the virtualenv we activated:

easy_install binary_installer_built_with_distutils.exe

Windows 7 VERR_LDR_MISMATCH_NATIVE
I was having a problem with Win7 and Virtualbox 4.2.6. All my vms cannot be started up.
the answer appears to be found by going to C:\USERS\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files
and then rmdir /s Oracle
the contents there are created by running Virtualbox without Administrator privilege and can safely be deleted.
the new version of Virtualbox will create new files there, if needed.

Line ending on different os.

Running a python script using:

python <file_name>.py

is always ok but trying to run it directly:

./<file_name>.py

You might see error messages. This is because each OS/system uses a different line termination character:

Check and lock your password on Mac OSX

Check, check

In the terminal, type:
security dump-keychain -d ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

If your passwords starts printing out right away, that means anyone using your computer can see all your passwords.

If you’ve seen enough passwords, type Control+C in your terminal to stop it.

A Sample Post
Hello there! This is a sample post for gist.io, a super-lightweight writing soapbox for hackers.
Now look up. Further. Above the post title. See that grey text with the gist ID?
Now back to me. That grey text is a link! Open that sucker in a new tab to see the source for this post. Also, I'm on a horse.
