my Chrome browser crashed and my system began to crawl. I decided to kill the chrome process, but as multiple tabs have been opened, I would need to kill multiple chrome processes (each tab runs in a seperate process in Chrome). Loading the gui of the task manager in a very slowly responsive system and killing each process seperately was not a good option, so I decided to do the following:

• I opened a command prompt (start->run->cmd)

• Then I typed:

         taskkill /F /FI "IMAGENAME eq chrome*"

• And that was it. All processes named chrome have been killed with a single click.

But, let’s examine the parameters of the command:

 /F: force kill the process

/FI "IMAGENAME eq chrome*": use a filter and kill every process that has a name that begins with chrome.

for more information about the command, open a command prompt (start->run->cmd) and  type:

taskkill/?

The easiest way to extract images from a Microsoft Word document (ms word *.doc files) is the following:

• Open the file with Microsoft Word
• Select File -> Save as ->
• Change the Save as type of file (it is just below the filename) to Web Page (*.htm,*.html)
• Press Save
• You will notice that a new folder has been created inside the folder in which you saved your file called filename_files, where filename is the name of your document. If you browse this folder, you can find all the documents images.

In order to type the current date in a Microsoft Excel Cell, one must do the following:

After that do the following

1. Download Blackdown JRE
2. Open a terminal, and change to the directory where you wish to install the JRE (eg. /usr/java)
3. Run the Blackdown JRE package executable. This will extract the JRE in the current directory.
4. Run the following command: ln -s ./j2re1.4.2/plugin/amd64/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

 

Important! It is critical that you create a symbolic link to the Java plugin rather than copying it. If you copy it, your browser will crash whenever you load a page that has a Java applet.

It is the only solution that worked in my case even it is not the best.
I am able to play games at www.pogo.com but I cannot run the speedtest applet found here: http://speedtest.forthnet.gr
Also I didn’t want to install Firefox32 and install the 32bit plugins.
In my previous Ubuntu version (Gutsy) I had Firefox32 with the plugins but it kept randomly crashing.

In order to extend this range one can use no more than 5 USB hubs. By using 5 hubs the maximum USB range can be extended to 30m for high speed USB and approx 27m for low speed USB.

You can go to the next field of the form by pressing the "TAB" key on your keyboard ()

You can go to the previous field of the form by pressing together "SHIFT+TAB" keys.

If these fail try :

• AT#CID=2
• AT%CCID=1
• AT%CCID=2
• AT#CC1
• AT*ID1

When you try this AT commands in a terminal program, the answer you should receive is OK.
