GParted partitioning software - Full tutorial Updated: April 25, 2009 No matter which operating system you want to have installed on your machine, there's one thing they all have in common: partitions. These are logical pieces of your actual hard disk space, defining the size and the file system format for the operating systems and data that are going to be placed on them. Being able to control the partitions is one of the most basic, most important aspects of mastering your operating system. If you have the knowledge and confidence to manipulate the layout, create it, change it or delete it, you can adapt your hardware to your varying needs, without having to blindly rely on default setups defined by vendors or other people. After completing this tutorial, you will have learned how to interpret the partitioning dictionary, what the strange symbols, letters and numbers mean. Never again you shall fear using partitioning software or installing operating systems on hard disks already containing data. Table of contents: Or like this:
Immersion: a people-centric view of your email life TestDisk Step By Step This recovery example guides you through TestDisk step by step to recover a missing partition and repair a corrupted one. After reading this tutorial, you should be ready to recover your own data. Translations of this TestDisk manual to other languages are welcome. Example problem We have a 36GB hard disk containing 3 partitions. Unfortunately; the boot sector of the primary NTFS partition has been damaged, anda logical NTFS partition has been accidentally deleted. This recovery example guides you through TestDisk, step by step, to recover these 'lost' partitions by: rewriting the corrupted NTFS boot sector, andrecovering the accidentally deleted logical NTFS partition. Recovery of a FAT32 partition (instead of an NTFS partition) can be accomplished by following exactly the same steps. Symptoms If this hard disk's primary partition contained an operating system, it would most likely no longer boot up - due to its corrupted boot sector.

Converting scanned graphs to data Converting scanned graphs to data, that is, extracting (x,y) data from scanned graphs can be useful for analyzing data from published graphs, analog instruments, strip chart recordings, or any other hard copy graph or plot. This is sometimes called a "plot digitizer", "graph digitizer", or "optical plot reading" (OPR).[1] History[edit] Developments of the 20th century computer were fueled largely by the needs of the scientific community to store and analyze large amounts of scientific data. With the later development of the personal computer and graphics printer, scientists were able to easily display and print graphical representations of their data sets. Although digital video systems and scanners were developed primarily to input and manipulate pixel images such as pictures, drawings and photographs,[2] it soon became clear that information could be extracted from other types of scanned images.

LaTeX LaTeX (/ˈleɪtɛk/ LAY-tek or /ˈlɑːtɛk/ LAH-tek[1]) is a document preparation system and document markup language. It is the de facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents in many fields, including mathematics, physics, and computer science.[2] LaTeX uses the TeX typesetting program for formatting its output, and is itself written in the TeX macro language. LaTeX is not the name of a particular editing program, but refers to the encoding or tagging conventions that are used in LaTeX documents. LaTeX is widely used in academia.[3][4] It is also used as the primary method of displaying formulas on Wikipedia. LaTeX can be used as a primary or intermediate format, e.g., translating DocBook and other XML-based formats to PDF. LaTeX was originally written in the early 1980s by Leslie Lamport at SRI International.[5] The current version is LaTeX2e (styled as LaTeX2ε). Typesetting system[edit] Examples[edit] Note how the equation for was typeset by the markup:

How To Pick The Right Motor Oil For Your Car It might seem simple to pick engine oil for your car. You just look for the starburst symbol that indicates the oil has been tested and meets the standards of the American Petroleum Institute (API). In addition, there's a 2-character service designation on the container. API's latest service standard is "SL." SL refers to a group of laboratory and engine tests, including the latest series for control of high-temperature deposits. These are the labels you'll find on every container of reputable motor oil. Is oil really the lifeblood of an engine? Oil is so important that we want no less than the best the engine can get--for a good low price, of course. Sounds pretty neat, and we were given the opportunity to do just that at the Valvoline lab in Lexington, Ky. That was our one shot at playing lubricant scientist, but the experience produced only enough oil for a top-up. Viscosity Once the engine is running, the oil heats up. Why So Many Oils?

In 2011 this site became much more dynamic, offering ratings, reviews, searching, sorting, and a new tool suggestion form . This site allows open source and commercial tools on any platform, except those tools that we maintain (such as the Nmap Security Scanner , Ncat network connector , and Nping packet manipulator ). We're very impressed by the collective smarts of the security community and we highly recommend reading the whole list and investigating any tools you are unfamiliar with. 14 tools Wireshark (known as Ethereal until a trademark dispute in Summer 2006) is a fantastic open source multi-platform network protocol analyzer. version 1.8.0 on June 21, 2012 (1 month ago). sniffers UNIX users often smugly assert that the best free security tools support their platform first, and Windows ports are often an afterthought. crackers
22 free tools for data visualization and analysis You may not think you've got much in common with an investigative journalist or an academic medical researcher. But if you're trying to extract useful information from an ever-increasing inflow of data, you'll likely find visualization useful -- whether it's to show patterns or trends with graphics instead of mountains of text, or to try to explain complex issues to a nontechnical audience. There are many tools around to help turn data into graphics, but they can carry hefty price tags. The cost can make sense for professionals whose primary job is to find meaning in mountains of information, but you might not be able to justify such an expense if you or your users only need a graphics application from time to time, or if your budget for new tools is somewhat limited. Here's a rundown of some of the better-known options, many of which were demonstrated at the Computer-Assisted Reporting (CAR) conference last month.
