Jump to any point in a YouTube video

Google provides a feature with its YouTube service that allows a user to jump to any place in a video.  The trick?  Simply put a minute and second marker in the URL using the MMmSSs format, where "MM" is the minute value with a leading zero, and "SS" is the seconds value, also with a leading zero.

This minute and second values combination then just needs to be combined with some URL notation to tell YouTube to jump to this spot in the video.  This looks like:  #t=MMmSSs.  Just tack this bit to the end of your URL and away you go.  Compare the differences in an actual YouTube URL:

Skype Now Supports Emergency Calls In the US

With the latest round of updates to Skype , it was noticed today that the instant messaging and VoIP phone service now supports emergency calling in the United States. The release notes for the most recent update to the Android version of Skype indicated that the service now allows calls to be made to US emergency calling systems via 911.  Telephony services like Skype, Google Voice , and Vonage typically don't offer this emergency calling ability without some sort of intermediate step like deferring to the phone's default dialer, as is the case with Voice, or setting up a physical address location ahead of time which is how Vonage handles it. The indication is that Skype will handle the 911 calls natively, but when verifying with an account that does not have a Skype phone number assigned to it, it was found that the instructions in the FAQ explaining how to turn on emergency calling are not accurate. Emergency calling support in Skype for the United States Interestingly, th...

PHP built-in webserver and IPv6 addresses

Though it's difficult to confirm around the Web, it appears as though the IP address scheme the built-in PHP server uses depends on the host name that's provided.  If a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) is used, such as server.domain.tld, then the built-in server will be listening for IPv6 based requests.  If the server is started with an IPv4 address identified as the host, then it will naturally listen for IPv4 based requests. The closest to anything official around the Web was a comment in the PHP docs that only seeded this conclusion, at best.  But here it is in any case. Built-in web server http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php#120449 Ultimately, the following answer from Stack Overflow held the "universal" solution.  Thank you dew010.

Allow Windows authentication using SQL Server driver with DBeaver

DBeaver will allow Microsoft Windows single sign on access when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Server driver (rather than jTDS ).  From the driver properties settings, set the integratedSecurity flag to true . Open the Connection configuration panel and choose the Driver properties section. Set the integratedSecurity flag to true . A subtle, but important step is to not provide username and password credentials to the connection.
