How to disable auto-changing hostname?

I set my computer a hostname (let's say "MyComputer"), but when I connect to wired network, it changes hostname to whatever reverse DNS IP lookup turns out (let's say "Workstation312").
I know I can change the hostname using "hostname" in terminal- but is there a way to disable auto-changing hostname?

How to disable auto clear feature in a text box in IE10

How to disable auto clear button in Text box in IE10
Hi Team,
I saw this question on Microsoft forum but I did not find any reply to this question, therefore, I am re-posting it.
When I run web interface application on IE10, i see there is a new feature which has 'X' at the end of text box and on clicking it it clears the text.
Are there any settings of IE10 that can be changed to disable it or some code snippet?
I find the 'X' sign at the end of text box very annoying and would like to turn it off and make it compatible with older versions of IE and other explorers.
Looking forward to your answer at the earliest.
Regards
Sakshi

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?

How to disable auto charge of iPhone via PC?

I'm thinking you may have the concern of not overcharging or messing with charge cycles of your phone, but according to apple the Li-ion batteries in iDevices work this way for example
-Your phone has 50% battery left, you charge it
-after using again, you're back with 50 and charging it till full once again makes it 1 charge cycle
Doesn't work like nickel batteries.
Here's the article:

How to disable the certificate hostname verification?

In JSSE changes file <http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/CHANGES.txt>
It states the following:
"It is sometimes useful to "disable" the certificate hostname
verification during project development. A single certificate can now be shared among many development machines so that the hostnames don't need to match. A bug was fixed in the HttpsURLConnection hostname verifier code that now allows this functionality to work."
Any idea on how to disable it
Thanks
- rayed

this is easily achieved :
create your own class (for example 'MyHostNameVerifier' ..) as a subclass of the JSSE HostNameVerifier and overwrite the method :
public boolean verify(String parm1, String parm2)
to your special needs. This method implements the verifying of hostnames..
For your HttpsURLConnection then call
setHostnameVerifier(new MyHostNameVerifier());
so the HttpsURLConnection will then use MyHostNameVerifier in order to verify the hostname registered in the certificate.

[SOLVED] Alsa: How to disable auto-mute when plugging in headphones?

I have a set of headphones plugged into my workstation permanently (the headphone jack is hard to reach so I don't want to plug those headphones in and out) as well as some speakers. Jack sensing works perfectly - when I unplug the headphones, the speakers are unmuted and when I plug the headphones back in the speakers are muted. Now as I said, my headphones are plugged in permanently and occasionally I want to have sound on the speakers at the same time. So far I have not found a way to have both headphones and speakers unmuted simultaneously.
I originally thought this was a problem with Pulseaudio (I am using Cinnamon as my desktop) but when I directly go to the Alsa hw device I get exactly the same behavior. The sound chip is a built-in VIA VT1818S and aplay displays the correct cards and devices:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1818S Analog [VT1818S Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I verified with "mpg123 -a hw:0,0" that I get no sound on the speakers when the headphones are plugged in and vice versa. I tried a lot of different settings with alsamixer and amixer to no avail. These are my current settings:

If I read the Alsa kernel docs right, the VIA driver simply does not provide any option to disable auto-muting: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-ker … xt;hb=HEAD.
I would be glad if I had misread/misunderstood something or there were any other means of achieving what I am after? All I found so far is lots of posts where auto-muting did not work but very few people seem to want the opposite. FWIW, my old installation of Ubuntu 11.10 was working fine in that regard, i.e. it probably did not support auto-muting for my hardware.

Solved, well, good enough for me anyway. In alsamixer, I enabled "Independent HP". Independent HP means that two of the six surround channels get diverted to the headphones. Alsa creates a second device, one for line out and the other one for the headphones. It is a very neat feature that is meant to allow you to e.g. do a voice call with your headphones while you play music through the speakers at the same time. I can now choose in PulseAudio whether I want output to my headphones or the speakers. It required that in /etc/pulse/default.pa, I added the line "load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2" after this paragraph:
### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so
load-module module-udev-detect
.else
### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev support)
load-module module-detect
.endif
# Take Independent HP into use.
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2
All this really is a work-around for two bugs:
Call it a bug or a missing feature, but it does not look like the Alsa snd_hda_codec_via driver allows to disable auto-muting.
Before the change to default.pa, PulseAudio already allows me to switch between two output devices - "analog output" and "analog headphones". "Analog headphones" however does the same thing as "analog output" and plays sound on the external speakers and not the headphones. I suspect that the PulseAudio module-udev-detect detects both Alsa devices but wires them wrongly.
The above still doesn't give me what I originally asked, i.e. sound on both speakers and headphones at the same time, but I realized that I don't really need that. I just need a way to switch on speakers occasionally while my headphones are plugged in.

How to Disable Auto Updates on Flash Player 10 using mms.cfg

Hi Friends,
I am a newbee into this.I am trying to install a customized Adobe Flash Player 10.2.153.1 in which auto updates are disabled. I went through the Adobe guidelines and found that it is possible to do the same using a MMS.CFG file. Can anyone tell me how exactly this would look like. I will be extremely thankful if someone can attach a sample of the same.
One more question...
When we disable auto updates using mms.cfg file, will this be updated in the Global Settings Manager ?
Tries from my end till now:
I tried to create a mms.cfg by editing a txt file and adding "AutoUpdateDisable=0 " and then saving teh same as mms.cfg using UTF-8 encoding. this didnt make any difference in the Global Settings manager.
Please help me...
Regards,
Dilip

No, I don't think so; these settings are stored in a different place.
Some users have reported that AutoUpdateDisable via mms.cfg does no longer work in Flash Player 10.3. Please check if this failure already occurs in Flash Player 10.2.

How to disable auto-completing service request after completing last activity

How to disable standard rule, that change service request status to "Complete" when the last activity in this service request is completed?
For SCSM 2012 R2

Perhaps you can use the "Closed" status as a way of indicating that your are completely finished with a service request? (This follows ITIL). It has the advantage of being an out-of-the-box feature and, by default, SR's have to be closed by
a user.
Keep in mind, though, that closed service requests are groomed out of the CMDB (356 day retention time by default, i believe). But, they'll still be available for a few years in your data warehouse.
What is your business reason for this behavior? Console views? Custom reports?
If "Closed" doesn't cut it for you, you may want to consider extending the Server Request class with your own status property that you can use for whatever your requirements are.
