Linux Directory Structure (File System Structure) Explained with Examples by Ramesh Natarajan on September 8, 2010 Have you wondered why certain programs are located under /bin, or /sbin, or /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin? For example, less command is located under /usr/bin directory. Why not /bin, or /sbin, or /usr/sbin? What is the different between all these directories? In this article, let us review the Linux filesystem structures and understand the meaning of individual high-level directories. 1. / – Root Every single file and directory starts from the root directory.Only root user has write privilege under this directory.Please note that /root is root user’s home directory, which is not same as /. 2. Contains binary executables.Common linux commands you need to use in single-user modes are located under this directory.Commands used by all the users of the system are located here.For example: ps, ls, ping, grep, cp. 3. 4. 5. Contains device files.These include terminal devices, usb, or any device attached to the system.For example: /dev/tty1, /dev/usbmon0 6. 7. 8. 9.
Forget WiFi, Its LiFi: Internet Through Lightbulbs Whether you’re using wireless internet in a coffee shop, stealing it from the guy next door, or competing for bandwidth at a conference, you’ve probably gotten frustrated at the slow speeds you face when more than one device is tapped into the network. As more and more people—and their many devices—access wireless internet, clogged airwaves are going to make it increasingly difficult to latch onto a reliable signal. But radio waves are just one part of the spectrum that can carry our data. What if we could use other waves to surf the internet? One German physicist, Harald Haas, has come up with a solution he calls “data through illumination”—taking the fiber out of fiber optics by sending data through an LED lightbulb that varies in intensity faster than the human eye can follow. It’s the same idea behind infrared remote controls, but far more powerful. Photo (cc) via otto-otto.com
iis6 - How do you work out the IIS Virtual Path for an application How to Find Keywords For Effective SEO In other words, keywords are tools used to help you improve your search rankings. Their strategic use in Internet marketing is one of the most important search engine optimization (SEO) strategies. A highly visible and successful site depends on your understanding of keywords (choosing the right ones, where to find them, best ways to use them). Using the right keywords may list your page among the first 20 sites returned by search engines and the wrong keywords may bury your pages under hundreds of results returned before your site. How to choose the right keywords? Before you can choose the right keywords, you need to know how keywords are classified. Ø Brand Keywords – are those keywords contained in your business name, business description or specific category of business. Ø Generic Keywords – are keywords which are not directly associated with your company brand, but those which indirectly describe what you are offering or selling. Brainstorming: Broad keywords vs. Organic keywords

Drink Ideas: Glowing Drinks, Flaming Drinks, Fogging Drinks, Ice Shots, and More Drinks that have a mysterious fog rolling out of them are a great conversation starter at any party. Making fogging drinks is easy with dry ice. Relax--it isn't poisonous, or extremely dangerous. Dry ice is just the frozen form of carbon dioxide, the gas we exhale. The main precaution when using it with drinks is that it can cause a freezer burn if handled with bare skin. So, if you want to use it in drinks, you will just need to be careful. You can either make a fogging punch or you can drop a piece into individual drinks for a smoking effect. To make an individual drink, drop a small piece of the dry ice into the bottom of the glass. Fogging drinks are a good addition for Hawaiian luau theme, Halloween parties, fire and ice parties, or just to add a bit of sensation to any party.
Command Line Hack for: "Terminal Server Has Exceeded the Maximum Number of Allowed Connections" If you’ve worked on a network with Windows servers, you’ve encountered this error message at least 37,000 times: “The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections. The system can not log you on. The system has reached its licensed logon limit. Please try again later.” This problem happens because Windows only allows two remote terminal services connections when you are in administrative mode, and you’ve either got two people already on that server, or more likely, you’ve got a disconnected session that still thinks it is active. The problem with this error is that you have to actually get on the server console to fix the problem if the server isn’t in a domain. To use the command line hacks, you might need to run them from another server if your local operating system doesn’t include the commands. net use /user:[username] \\servername\share Here’s a command line hack that you can use to figure out what sessions are connected to the server. Sample output: Sample:

Using shortcuts means learning to spot and fix mistakes in order to write better. Here are seven instant fixes that will improve your writing. But … what is good writing? Inexperienced writers think that ‘good’ writing is elaborate. No, good writing is simple. 1: The art of natural Check out an example of elaborate writing below (I’ve sourced examples of writing from free Kindle books chosen at random). This is from a story about a young girl who is at home with her young brother when a thunderstorm strikes. An ebony abyss claimed the den. I take this to mean, “The room went dark.” Maybe the author consulted a Thesaurus to create a sentence with special words. Your words should sound natural. Careful!
Who invented the Caesar Salad? For me, the Caesar Salad has been around as long as I've held a fork. Given the monumental name "Caesar", I spent most of my life assuming that this was some kind of "centuries old" and "passed down" salad dressing recipe, that perhaps traced its roots all the way back to ancient Rome, Greece, or maybe even somewhere in the Mediterranean. Its a simple enough salad recipe that could have been used generations ago. The recipe I'm familiar with (my favorite) consists of Romain lettuce, chopped anchovies, lemon juice, pepper, oil, vinegar, ... ingredients that were available back then. Seems plausible right? I was surprised when I found out who invented the Caesar Salad.
