For convenience, a link is included to the National Geodetic Survey's NADCON program, which allows conversions between the NAD83 / WGS84 coordinate system and the older NAD27 coordinate system. NAD27 coordinates are presently used for broadcast authorizations and applications. This utility requires that Javascript be enabled to perform the calculations. The older non-Javascript version remains available. emmineb Sat, 04 Jul 2009 10:56:39 GMT http://lifehacker.com/346312/design-your-own-desktop-with-kde-4 One of the best things about KDE 4, the newest release of the mainstream Linux desktop manager, is something it doesn't do—force you to adapt to its way of running a computer desktop. Sure, the desktop environment boasts new 3-D effects, a polished theme, and improved functionality. But what KDE 4 does best is give users the ability to almost completely re-design their desktops, putting their programs, icons, and useful widgets wherever they see fit, on as many desktops as they want, to create their ideal workspace. I spent some time exploring the features of the less-than-week-old system, the results of which are after the jump. emmineb Sat, 19 Jan 2008 11:21:06 GMT http://www.fulltorrent.net/ Firefox plugin: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=fulltorrent&sherlock=yes&opensearch=yes&submitform=Search emmineb Mon, 28 May 2007 09:41:02 GMT http://www.cs.usfca.edu/%7Eparrt/course/601/lectures/unix.util.html Terence Parr Last updated: August 30, 2006 UNIX is an extremely popular platform for deploying server software partly because of its security and stability, but also because it has a rich set of command line and scripting tools. Programmers use these tools for manipulating the file system, processing log files, and generally automating as much as possible. If you want to be a serious server developer, you will need to have a certain facility with a number of UNIX tools; about 15. You will start to see similarities among them, particularly regular expressions, and soon you will feel very comfortable. Combining the simple commands, you can build very powerful tools very quickly--much faster than you could build the equivalent functionality in C or Java, for e emmineb Thu, 01 Mar 2007 08:25:43 GMT http://www.wikihow.com/Test-if-a-Plant-Is-Edible Drastic times call for drastic measures. If you ever find yourself stranded in the wilderness for several months without food, you're going to have to figure out how to feed yourself. You can survive for at least a month with nothing but water, you will lose about 20 lbs. However, this is not a suggested fad diet, once you start eating again, you will probably put most of the weight back on. If you're well prepared and knowledgeable about the area, you should have no problem finding edible plants, but if you are near death, and can't otherwise positively identify a safe plant to eat, follow these guidelines to test for edibility. emmineb Mon, 24 Sep 2007 10:18:31 GMT http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.html The Java Morse code translator translates to and from Morse code and can play the Morse to you as sound.
