How to dual-boot Linux and Windows Many of us like to run more than one operating system on a single machine. It's a great way of experimenting with how the other half live, testing new distributions and even playing a few Windows-based games. But dual and triple booting has always been considered something of a dark art. The reality is that dual booting needn't be a risk, and installation can be effortless. But before we push off into the world of running Linux alongside Windows, and Linux alongside Linux, there are a couple of important considerations. First, dual-booting still involves a lot of data shuffling, and while we've not seen the process go wrong for years, if your data is valuable, it's not worth the risk. Secondly, with multiple-boot systems, planning is everything. Partitioning your drive before you install the first operating system can save you tons of number crunching and the risk of repartitioning. Install Ubuntu 10.04 alongside Windows with these three easy steps 1. 2. 3.
Books Import/Export/Copy Lists One of the challenges I'm currently trying to solve is related to the site directory. After my upgrade the site directory is a bit messed up (the upgrade seemed to have merged columns). In an attempt to get the site directory in a state that I can work with I'm looking at several possibilities. One of those was configure the site directory the way I want it, export the Sites list and then import back after my upgrade completes. In order to accomplish this I had to create the ability to import and export lists (turns out this alone won't solve my problems but the commands I've created could be extremely handy in many scenarios). Stsadm has the ability out of the box to export and import web sites but it doesn't support doing just lists. I also created a copy command which wraps up the import and export so that both can be done in one step (passing "-deletesource" to the copylist command will make it function like a move command). 1. gl-exportlist 2. gl-importlist 3. gl-copylist
Alojamiento web Expressing Technology: A Roundtable With Sir James Dyson | Epicenter Sir James Dyson at Wired's NYC office. Photo: Dave Mosher/Wired.com On Wednesday, Sept. 14, Wired hosted a roundtable with Sir James Dyson at our New York offices. We asked Sir James questions about every aspect of emerging and commercial technology, ranging from intellectual property and education reform to the overlap between Steve Jobs’ design philosophy and his own. Wired’s interviewers included Steven Levy, John Abell, Jason Tanz, Dave Mosher and Tim Carmody. On becoming the company’s public face and namesake Sir James Dyson: The first Dyson was a 13th century female cattle rustler in Lancashire. Right at the beginning, the retailers wouldn’t take me, because they said, “You’re not a brand name. That’s why I put myself about a bit, as you say. On the relationship between design and technology Dyson: We’re a technology company. So that’s our starting point. [Picks up a copy of Wired] When you say design, everybody thinks of magazine pages.

Hacker Factor: Gender Guesser The words you use can disclose identifying features. This tool attempts to determine an author's gender based on the words used. Submitted text is evaluated based on two types of writing: formal and informal. About Gender Guesser In 2003, a team of researchers from the Illinois Institute of Technology and Bar-Ilan University in Israel (Shlomo Argamon, Moshe Koppel, Jonathan Fine, and Anat Rachel Shimoni) developed a method to estimate gender from word usage. A simplified version of this work was implemented as the Gender Genie. This Gender Guesser system is heavily based on the Gender Genie. (Oh yeah, and Gender Guesser is completely implemented in JavaScript. A few quick notes: The system generates a simple estimate (profiling). Future Hacker Factor is currently developing a variation of this system that can estimate an authors age, type of English used (for narrowing down nationality), and whether the speaker uses English as a second language.
