Programmatically setting quiet mode options (comments/stats) through SoundCloud's API - soundcloud

I'm in the process of migrating my company's audio from the old hosting provider to SoundCloud. I've written a script to automate this process which uploads the audio file, its thumbnail, and writes all the relevant metadata as well.
However, there doesn't seem to be any way to set the quiet mode options, like disabling comments or hiding the stats, programmatically.
I found this post from April 2012, which mentions that the API doesn't support it. I was wondering if it had since been updated? And if so, what are the fields that need to be specified? eg. similar to track[title] or track[asset_data].
Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE (3/8/2013)
The folks from SoundCloud have confirmed that toggling quiet mode options is not currently possible through their API.

VSTS permissions to allow all users to view images added to bugs/tasks

Good afternoon,
I'm having some issues with VSTS and i am unable to find a single reference to anyone else experiencing this issue.
We use Microsoft's Test and Feedback browser extension for our support team and developers to add useful screen shots or walk through videos of bugs and tasks into VSTS.
This is affecting everyone except me (i'm administrator) which leads me to think this may be a permission issue that i am not finding the settings for. But certain images added to tasks or bugs are broken for my developers - as if they do not have permissions to view them. And as i said they display fine for me.
UPDATE:
I believe this is directly related to Test and Feedback images that have the following URL: xxxxxxx.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection//TestManagement/v1.0/…?..... When user clicks the broken image they get:
"You do not have the appropriate permissions to read to the project."
This makes no sense because they are able to read other tasks and image in the same project, including other tasks with images generated by Test and Feedback. It does not appear to be happening with directly uploaded images.
Additionally i have some users who are unable to use the # tagging in comments in VSTS, whihc i suspect is also a permisisons issue.
What permissions do i need to give (if any) to allow users to view images added to bugs and tasks via Test and Feedback or allow users to tag other people in comments?
Thanks
There has no additional permissions to view images in work items (such as bugs or tasks).
If the images are not display when you open a work item, please check the browser you are using. Options you can have a try as below:
Use another web browser to check if the images can be displayed.
Clear browser cache and cookies etc, then open a work item again.

show diff on word documents

I'm designing a web application that will enable users to upload docx documents and will the show the diff between each revision.
I don't know how to approach the problem. Is it a bitmap, how do I decode the doc to show changes. Do Microsoft has an API I can use to simply send 2 word docs, and it will return the changes between the two?
I also have the same question on google docs. I think with google drive it's simpler. Saw this API
If anyone has done something similar or has an example to some similar app, I would be grateful.
Have you looked at Word's Compare tool? See under Review|Compare. Word's API also support the compare tool's automation (e.g. via VBA).
To use Word's API, you'll need to automate Word. For the details of the method, see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh128820(v=office.14).aspx

How to get a list recently modified files in Dropbox?

The question is how to list recently modified files in Dropbox account using their API?
Dropbox web UI can show a summery of recently changed files, but I couldn't find how to do it in their API documentation.
The Dropbox API doesn't currently offer any functionality for events or recents, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
The closest alternative is to track activity by staying up to date with /list_folder and /list_folder/continue:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue
To Track any modifications in dropbox, webhooks will be the best option.

OwnCloud enhance core features with App (eg. user registration)

I started looking into OwnCloud app development to add some capabilities I would like to my server. To me it seems like Apps can't modify anything like the Login page or User Management page. Is this the case?
I want to build a user registration app and would love to integrate it into the user management page (if not and it has to exist as its own app page not a big deal). The one big problem I see so far is not being able to add a "Register" link to the login page. I could just go in and add it to the source manually, but I would like to keep the App self contained so others can use it too.
If this is not possible to do in an App I may just need to modify the core application and then see if they will accept my feature addition in a pull request.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me. I don't want to waste my time trying to figure out how to do it with an App on the platform if it wont be doable.
After a lot of digging around I did figure out a way to do this.
In the App's app.php file, you can force a script to be loaded if the plugin is enabled:
$api->addScript('script_name'); // without .js
In that script jQuery can be used to add the elements to the page where you need them.
This was a good solution for me since I only needed to add a single button to the login page. I can see this being a bad idea if you want to make vast modifications. At that point you might as well just create a separate page that you have full control over.

Silent Printing from Web Page

I am working on a web application that needs silent printing (without print dialog box) with client side printer.
After some research we found that we can make it work using ActiveX and Foxit Reader.
Currently it works great but it constraints us with IE only and we want to make it work with Firefox and Chrome as well.
I know there is no direct code to make it work, but there must a work around?
What I need is the point to start e.g. Chrome/Firefox plugins to access local printer - or make windows service that runs in background in the client side, change browser settings, use ActionScript etc.
It will also be great if someone also illustrate how Facebook access local webcam from its website it may make about accessing clients peripherals from website. Thanks in advance.
For anyone who still wants information regarding printing on Chrome and/or FireFox without the use of ActiveX, extensions or client-side scripting, please see my answer to another question similar to this.
