PLD LINUX Rescue CD Free software for physicists There’s a lot of free software available on the Web for academic and technical purposes. In the absence of anything better to do, here’s a list of the stuff I’m aware of and rate as being worth a try. First, though, some pointers to bigger lists on Wikipedia: and this very nice list from SciPy Drawing Feynman diagrams There are many ways to draw Feynman diagrams. FeynDiagram: JaxoDraw: pyfeyn: Axodraw: Feynmf: FeynArts: Graphviz dot: pydot: FeynML (unfinished): or you can always do it by hand with Impress, PowerPoint, Xfig etc. Statistical analysis Data plotting Chaco (looks fantastic!)

Ubuntu Wiki (community-edited website) Watch Internet TV We're not exactly sure where the name ‘33mag’ came from. In eight years of tumultous nights, painful skateboard sessions and after-noons spent between the snowparks and the bars of ski stations around Québec, we kinda lost track. Fortunately, we could count on a solid community of friends, acquaintance and business partners to immortalize these moments on this site, which serves as a meeting point, a voice and a display for those who identify and participate to our lifestyle. In the beginning, 33 was three guys hungry for underground culture and action sports, producing content from their parents’ basement. But mostly, 33mag is people who believe in our generation and who are convinced that we are the best-placed to report on our world, in our own ways.

Official Ubuntu Documentation Common fonts to all versions of Windows & Mac equivalents (Browser safe fonts) - Web design tips & tricks Last updated: 2008/06/03 Return to the main page Introduction Here you can find the list with the standard set of fonts common to all versions of Windows and their Mac substitutes, referred sometimes as "browser safe fonts". This is the reference I use when making web pages and I expect you will find it useful too. If you are new to web design, maybe you are thinking: "Why I have to limit to that small set of fonts? If you want to know how the fonts are displayed in other OS's or browsers than yours, after the table you can find several screen shots of this page in different systems and browsers. The list First, a few introductory notes: The names in grey are the generic family of each font. 1 Georgia and Trebuchet MS are bundled with Windows 2000/XP and they are also included in the IE font pack (and bundled with other MS applications), so they are quite common in Windows 98 systems. 5 These fonts work in Safari but only when using the normal font style, and not with bold or italic styles.

Comprehensive Multimedia & Video Howto - Ubuntu F THIS TUTORIAL IS OUTDATED/ABANDONED AND INCLUDES REFERENCES TO REPOSITORIES THAT NO LONGER EXISTEDITED ON 10TH DECEMBER, 2011--NEW VERSION--This howto was previously laid out in sections, but now I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. I've left the old howto below as it may still be useful.First of all, if you haven't already added the Medibuntu repo to your list of sources and enabled the Partner repo, copy and paste the following command into a terminal and execute it:Code:sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list -cs).list && sudo sed -i "/^# deb . The open source ATI driver (xserver-xorg-video-ati) - Community This guide shows you how to use the open source Radeon driver for some ATI/AMD graphics cards and APUs, which is part of the xserver-xorg-video-ati package. This driver provides 2D and 3D acceleration in your video hardware. For the most recent releases of Ubuntu (and its flavours) this driver is usually as fast as the closed-source, proprietary fglrx driver (called AMD Catalyst) from AMD Inc. Furthermore the Radeon driver supports some older chipsets that fglrx does not. The Radeon driver is already pre-installed in Ubuntu. First, check your graphic card name and chipset: sudo update-pciids #optional command, requires internet lspci -nn | grep -E 'VGA|Display' It should report something like this for your graphics card and/or APU: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. If the report shows two different hardware devices, then you probably have a "hybrid graphics" system, with an iGP (integrated graphics processor inside the CPU) and a dedicated GPU.
