I am facing annoying problem of only HTTPS websites working on my Mac (in all browsers). I can only visit Google, YouTube, Facebook, Yahoo etc.  So far, I tried following:   Websites shows error of: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED I have uninstalled Anti-virus Turned off firewall Changed DNS, to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 (Google), 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 (Open DNS), 0.0.0.0 My network is ipv4 supported (but not ipv6) so most websites should work. I tried ping websites that are not opening on browser e.g: dailymotion.com , but I transmitted and received packets without loss. Reinstalled Yosemite but problem still persists. Everything works when I use VPN (e.g hotspot shield), so my guess is DNS is messed up. I tried flushing DNS using sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder    P.S Everything works in Safe Mode and using mobile hotspot  Here is , and . So the issue is with only http websites.  When I use sudo pfctl -s nat, I am getting following response: “No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled rdr pass inet proto tcp from 192.168.1.100 (my IP) to any port = 80 -> 127.0.0.1 port 9882”. By removing port forwarding using sudo pfctl -F all, the websites works for few seconds only  Any suggestions please ?
Trying to open a http website on any web browser (event telnet) gives a ‘ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED’ or ‘connection timed out’.  However, the same sites can be opened using https. I tried doing a traceroute and it works fine.  I am new to OS X but have experience with Linux. How do I go about troubleshooting this issue?  Update  I think I've tracked down the culprit to a rule in pf (firewall).  The result of sudo pfctl -s nat is:  No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled rdr pass inet proto tcp from 192.168.0.101 to any port = 80 -&gt; 127.0.0.1 port 9882   192.168.0.101 is the current ip address of the computer.  I tried to remove the rule with sudo pfctl -F all, but it is back after a few seconds. I didn't find the rule in the default configurations (/etc/pf.conf). And disabling pf with sudo pfctl -d has no effect on it.  Is this a malware issue?
Overheard on an elevator today,     I didn't realize it was him.   Corrected by the know-it-all,     He.  "I didn't realize it was he."   The know-it-all then went on a rant about how everybody is a dolt for not knowing that.  I swear I have never heard this before in my life.  Is the know-it-all correct?    If so, why is "I didn't realize it was he," grammatically correct?  What rule makes "him" incorrect here? How to get full query text from performance_schema.threads? According to : Access to the threads table does not require a mutex  and has minimal impact on server  performance. The other sources have negative performance consequences because they require a mutex.   So yes, I want to use threads table to examine running queries. The trouble is, the PROCESSLIST_INFO column does not contain the full query. It just contains a truncated version of the query. There is a flag viz performance_schema_max_sql_text_length which controls how many bytes are allocated for the SQL query. But it seems to affect the events_statements_history_long table. There is no change in the thread table output. There is also the events_statement_current table. But it is not clear if accessing that table affects performance or not. When two accounts are merged, all the posts/votes are moved over to the "master" account, and the other account ("slave"?) is deleted. The merge is propagated network-wide, so a similar thing happens on each site.  But, this does not happen to the chat user. The "slave" chat user is kept, with a 404 parent profile link. I feel that the chat user should be merged as well, re attributing all the chat messages.  Thoughts? How can I open a text file with TextWrangler from the Terminal (command line)? Recover files from hard drive that has been formatted thrice I have a situation.  I got married 6 months ago and stored some very important pictures on my laptop which was running Linux. Later I formatted the whole hard drive, installed Windows and a hacked version of Mac (just to play around) and I have been using the laptop for last 8 months or so after that.  Is there any software that can recover the files for me? I am happy to pay money! Using GParted to remove windows partition I am looking for easy(!) counterexamples that the product of two quotient maps is not necessarily a quotient map and that the quotient space of a Hausdorff space is not necessarily Hausdorff. Update a field without changing the node I need to change a field in a node without altering the 'changed' timestamp. I know this was possible in Drupal 7 using field_attach_update(), but that has been removed since then.  I could use an update query and change the field directly in the database, but I was wondering if there is a better way (or a replacement for field_attach_update()).

Which of them are idiomatic and preferred? Are they interchangeable? What packages do people load by default in LaTeX? I'm in UV Editor and trying to snap the 2d cursor to the vertex ( while the vertices are visible). I turn ON snap and set it to 'vertex mode' , but the 2d cursor won't snap to any visible vertex at all. I can only make it snap to the grid (increment node).

Checking for valid floating point number Within a set of directories, how do I find a file whose name includes a given string, such as "abcde"? I'd like to implement a big int class in C++ as a programming exercise&mdash;a class that can handle numbers bigger than a long int.  I know that there are several open source implementations out there already, but I'd like to write my own.  I'm trying to get a feel for what the right approach is.  I understand that the general strategy is get the number as a string, and then break it up into smaller numbers (single digits for example), and place them in an array.  At this point it should be relatively simple to implement the various comparison operators.  My main concern is how I would implement things like addition and multiplication.  I'm looking for a general approach and advice as opposed to actual working code. A well-supported wireless PCI adapter for Ubuntu 12.04? Blender 2.80 AV Sync missing?
