Cs0rfe added: How to Boot a Linux Live USB Drive on Your Mac Think you can just plug a standard Linux live USB drive into your Mac and boot from it? Think again. You’ll need to go out of your way to create a live Linux USB drive that will boot on a Mac. This can be quite a headache, but we’ve found a graphical utility that makes this easy. You’ll be able to quickly boot Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kali Linux, and other mainstream Linux distributions on your Mac. The Problem Apple’s made it difficult to boot non-Mac OS X operating systems off of USB drives. There are several ways around this. rEFInd should allow you to boot those USB drives if you install it on your Mac. Use Mac Linux USB Loader A tool named “Mac Linux USB Loader” by SevenBits worked well for us. Note: Be sure to move the Mac Linux USB Loader application to your Applications folder before running it. First, insert the USB drive into your Mac and open the Disk Utility application. Next, open the Mac Linux USB Loader application you downloaded. Booting the Drive

Readers Digest Most Amazing Walks iPhone App – Initial Look : whitespider1066.com Here is a post for my fellow iPhone owning readers. I noticed on the app store this morning a new app from the Readers Digest called Most Amazing Walks, and is currently being sold at the introductory price of 59p. The app boasts nearly 200 walks of varying difficulty. The app and walks ar based on the Readers Digest book of the same name which is available for £14.99. The app breaks the country up into the following regions: Central England, Northern England, Scotland, Southeast England, Southwest England and Wales. Once you chose your county you then get the list of walks available for that county. The grading for the walks is on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the easiest. Scrolling the page up reveals summary details of the walk. I like this little addition a lot. Clicking the begin walk button then takes you on to the next bit that really shows how guide books should be going on the iPhone and smart phones. I have to say my initial look at the app has impressed me.

11 Beautiful Home Interior Design Styles Decorating styles have evolved over the centuries in response to the changing tastes of various groups of people. Every style has benefits to the people who will enjoy the home for many years to come.

Each of the following designs expresses personality and taste specific to an era. 1. Shabby Chic British look that incorporates all-white interior walls, floors, and ceilings accented with vintage items resting on distressed furniture. 2.

64 bit - How can I get flash working on Kubuntu 11.04 64bit Working in Costa Rica. Work Laws and requirements legally working in Costa Rica as a foreigner. Often people want to come to Costa Rica to live but also want (or need) to either work here or at least hold some form of part-time job to supplement their income. Some are retirees while other are younger who just want to work and live in another country. For the most part, but with a couple of exceptions, you cannot work at all in Costa Rica unless you have gained Permanent Residency or are a citizen of Costa Rica.. Laws here, as in many countries (including the USA) are designed to protect workers here from foreigners who would take jobs that would otherwise be filled by a Costa Rican. The only exceptions to this rule is an annual work permit or two specific types of residency. If you are highly skilled in an area where that job cannot be filled by a Costa Rican, the employer can apply for a work permit for one year. In order to work here, you must either be a citizen of Costa Rica or have legal Permanent Residency. OK...So who can work here? Need More Residency Information?
Connect to a wireless network via command line I know, the first thing you are asking is "Why would I want to have to connect to a wireless network from the command line?" To that question I can give you a simple answer...What if you want to create a script to run that will bring up your wireless network as soon as your desktop is loaded? You could get really complex and create a start up script to load a desktop based on what wireless access point you needed to join. But I am getting too far ahead of myself. ifconfig: Enable your wireless device.iwlist: List the available wireless access points.iwconfig: Configure your wireless connection.dhclient: Get your IP address via dhcp. The first command you need to use is ifconfig. ifconfig wlan0 up You won't see any feedback unless there is a problem. The next step is to scan for your wireless network to make sure it is available. iwlist wlan0 scan With this command you will see output like the following: So you know this network is available. Now it's time to configure your connection. #!
Demo | jQuery.popeye 2.0 | an inline lightbox alternative x Note: To see the full potential of CSS3 styling (shadows, gradients, rounded corners, alpha transparency), please view this page in a modern webkit or mozilla browser (Firefox 3.5+, Safari 4, Opera 10.50, Chrome 4). Other browsers will degrade gracefully. Example 1 The first popeye-box uses the standard options: it floats to the left and opens to the right, its navigation and caption show on mouseover. By placing the navigation inside the stage area (where the image is displayed), we can get it to hover above the image. No need to read this, just dummy text ;-) Vivamus ut nisi id libero interdum pretium. View HTML code used in this example Example 2 The second popeye-box has the following user-defined options: direction: 'left' - open to the left. caption: false - do not display captions (even though the images have alt tags with text). navigation: 'permanent' - the navigation is always visible. The navigation stays fixed to the right of the image. View HTML code used in this example Donate

How to Build a Hardwood Floor This Weekend If the room is carpeted, remove the old carpeting and padding to expose the plywood subfloor. If the room has a sound wood or vinyl floor, you can install the floating floor right on top. Floating floors also can be laid over a concrete slab. However, if the slab is below grade, such as in a basement, be sure the flooring is engineered for this situation. A quick word about baseboard molding: I removed the molding, laid the flooring, then installed new baseboard and quarter-round shoe molding. Start by vacuuming the subfloor.
