I have this file, and I have absolutely no idea what kind of file it is.
When I open it in Notepad++ it reads as
ð X döS
or
(source: gyazo.com)
How can I figure out what language this is?
Looks like that http://patch.us.wizard101.com:12500/ returns some sort of patch file for a game client. Chances are there is some api calls you are missing that tell the server what file to generate and return. But since only game clients need to directly call that file I would delete it and chalk it up to a broken client.
Either that or the site's download handler is broken and is giving a garbage file.
There's no clear answer, because you can't really. You can do some research on the encoding, or see if you can piece it together depending on the file's origin.
This program will test against common file types to see if it can be opened with success: http://download.cnet.com/TrlD-File-Identifier-for-NET/3000-2248_4-10442461.html

So my question is why is this things there i mean they can just use scripts with normal understandable language i hope someone explain me this because i'm curious, and thanks!
Because DLLs are compiled. You're looking at binary data (machine code instructions, plus various bits of data) with a text editor. While some programs are distributed as source code (bash scripts, JavaScript/HTML/CSS Windows Universal Apps, several others), many others (probably "most" on Windows) are distributed as compiled machine code.

I would like to password protect my .txt file that has account names and passwords for my program. I know how to encrypt, but I want it to ask every time for a password. By the way, I am using windows. I preferably would not like to download a program however if it is the only option that is fine.
Found this:
https://www.axcrypt.net/
Think that should do the trick.
If you don't mind using Python https://cryptography.io/ is also an option.

Apologies if this question seems rather trivial, but it's causing me some frustration.
I have a Redhat 5.3 installation, using nautilus-2.16.2-7.el5 that has two filesystems mounted. Under user1, when sending to the trash (pressing Del) on filesystem A we receive a confirmation dialogue box (do you want to etc). The behaviour is the same on filesystem B.
However, under user2, we receive the confirmation on Del on filesystem A, but NOT on filesystem B.
I've tried renaming the ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus folder and logging out/in to reset the Nautilus settings, but it's still behaving the same.
This is basically leading to users accidently deleting data, which isn't great!
Any advice would be appreciated folks!

Turns out that creating a new user profile and copying the settings corrected the problem (even though there was nothing filesystem specific in the gconf file).
cp /home/new_username/.gconf/apps/nautilus/preferences/%gconf.xml /home/username/.gconf/apps/nautilus/preferences/

I am trying to create a file from my c source code on linux. I am using dd command for reading from a file and writing in to a file by creating there. If i don't have execute permissions(I have write permissions) for target directory(Where the file is going to be created), It is unable to create file. If I have both write and execute permissions, It is able to create file. What is the reason for this?
This question is probably off topic for this site, but in a directory "x" doesn't mean execute, but permission to access the files in the directory. This in contrast to "r", which just gives permission to see the names of the files.

I was wondering if there was anyway to effectively write out in a readable formate the file structure of a drive. So what I mean by this is if it can write out a result simmilar to...
C:/
File here
Another file here
Sub file here
Another file here
So sorta like that. I don't know what it is called but if there is something that does that then that would be great!! Even better if it was possable to do in batch (dosnt matter either way tho) Thanks :)
Open the command prompt in windows. Write:
tree
if you want options write tree /?
