Start Windows Installer Service in Safe Mode

After spending some time searching, I found a solution:

To start Windows Installer in Safe Mode:
1. Restart your computer and press F8 before the Boot Menu or splash screen.
2. Open a CMD.EXE window.
3. Type the following commands and press Enter:
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"

Print UTF-8 Characters in Eclipse Console
In eclipse, "Run Dialog", "Common" tab, change "Console Encoding" to UTF-8. The code below should print some CJK characters.
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
public class TestClass {
public static void main(String [] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
String chineseString = "\u4e00\u4e01\u4e02\u4e03\u4e04";
PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(System.out, true, "UTF-8");
ps.println(chineseString);
}

Use a proxy with urllib2
This snippet from Rob Wolfe:
import urllib2
def getopener(proxy=None):
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPHandler)
if proxy:
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http": "http://" + proxy})
opener.add_handler(proxy_support)
return opener
def fetchurl(url, opener):
f = opener.open(url)
data = f.read()
f.close()
return data
print fetchurl('http://www.python.org', getopener('127.0.0.1:8081'))
print fetchurl('http://www.python.org', getopener()) # without a proxy

Command Line Screen Sharing
To share the command line screen with another terminal, it's actually fairly simple with GNU Screen. Suppose both have the same ID. At one terminal, type:
$ screen -S Test -U -t Test
At the other terminal, type:
$ screen -x Test
Voila, you get the second terminal to show the screen of the first one.
More info can be found here.
$ screen -S Test -U -t Test
At the other terminal, type:
$ screen -x Test
Voila, you get the second terminal to show the screen of the first one.
