Question by painnpower20: How do I connect to a remote MySQL database on the same router in Visual Studio 2008 using C#?
I’m creating a web application in Visual Studio 2008 using C#. I also have an Ubuntu linux server setup with MySQL. I have added the database to the linux MySQL server. However, I can’t connect to it on my local pc. I’ve tried clicking the add connection button in server explorer (I’m using the MySql connector) and keep getting the error: ‘Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts.’

I was able to connect to a remote mysql server on 127.0.0.1
On the linux server, I modified the ‘bind-address’ to the IP address of the linux machine: 192.168.0.190

I’m also using MySQL workbench 5.2.16 and can’t connect to the linux server in there either. However, when I enter my local pc’s IP address, 192.168..0.194, it recognizes my pc.

I don’t know what I’m missing or doing wrong that I can’t connect. I can easily connect to a local database, but I want to use one on my linux server.

Thanks in advance!

Did you install a firewall on the Ubuntu server? That may be blocking the connection.

From the Windows box, you could try telnet 192.168.0.190:3306 If that fails to connect, then something is blocking the connection at the TCP/IP level.

You did restart MySQL after changing the bind-address, right?

Question by Water Over Gold: Do you think using full-body scanners at airports violates the 4th amendment?
Do you have to have probable cause and a warrant before you can do a full body scan?? Or will airport personal be able to randomly scan whoever they want??

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Government officials say the first of 150 new full-body scanners will be installed in airports in Boston and Chicago over the next two weeks.

A Homeland Security Department official said Tuesday all of the 150 new machines will be installed by the end of June. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement is not yet public.

The body-scanners were purchased with money from President Barack Obama’s stimulus plan announced in February last year.

The use of the machines in airports is a key part of the Obama administration’s plans to improve airport security. Obama called for buying hundreds more of them after the attempted Christmas Day terror bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner.

No, because no one is FORCING you to fly. By buying a ticket, you’re agreeing to their terms of searching you. If you don’t like it, you can take the train or drive.

This is all I could find online but ask at your craft or fabric store, because I used to buy the stuff in sheets. You place it between two pieces of fabric and iron it to fuse them together. It’s permanent when used to bond fabric to fabric. When used to bond fabric to other surfaces it is sometimes not washable.http://www.dritz.com/askus/faq/faq_07.php

Question by jen4net: When using a sewing machine, is back tacking the same as making a knot?
I’m making a quilt and am in the process of binding it off. Will back tacking make the quilt secure so the threads won’t unravel?

Best answer:

Answer by Kacky
It will. Just make sure your backtack is straight over the threads that are already there.
