You can easily split MPEG files on GNU/Linux with mpgtx. (yum install mpgtx on Fedora Core 9):[root@sundaysister lennart]# mpgtx -2 /tmp/happ.mpg -b mNow processing /tmp/happ.mpg [1/2] ... 100.00%Now processing /tmp/happ.mpg [2/2] ... 100.00%After this you will have the first parameter defines how many parts you want to split the second parameter (the MPEG file) to. After the process has

I recently re-activated my Twitter account and searched for a desktop client. Twitux integrates well into GNOME and seems to be the best client out there:Twitux is available in the Fedora repository and should be in others too.http://sourceforge.net/projects/twituxHave fun! And add me - I need some Twitter friends ;)

Whoever spent a whole day and night (or two) with hacking a server or any other type of code knows about the importance of music in the background. The music should push you forward, motivate you and keep you from falling into sleep. But it shouldn't make you nervous or aggressive. It must give yo u that feeling of peace and satisfaction that keeps you working on the code for hours.Today i want

When Half Life 1 on Wine is running but does not display any menu entries you need to install the Microsoft TTF fonts. On Ubuntu/Debian you can install them with "aptitude install msttcorefonts". You also need to place the Tahoma font into "~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts" - Don't know where to get the Tahoma TTF file? Google is your friend.

You can easily develop C++ QT applications with Eclipse CDT! There is no need for another plugin.It is important to define the correct libs in the Eclipse project settings. You can find out the correct g++ command string by using qmake(-qt4).Create a new C++ project.Add a source file (e.g. the hello world program from the QT4 tutorial)Use a shell to navigate to the source folder of your hello

Please don't download Ubuntu Gutsy from any mirrors anybody sent you!The mirroring process is still in progress.You slow down the final release process by downloading from those mirrors. (Any you might get partial downloads)Wait until Gutsy is officially released on ubuntu.com and use Torrent if you can.

I just finished trying out the latest KDE4 Beta LiveCD in VMWare Server. It is still very (very!) buggy and seems to support only 256 colours, but it gives a lot of impressions of the upcoming KDE4 stable. I noticed that it is surprisingly fast (even in the VM) even though it has a few effects enabled.You can download the LiveCD here.Here are my screenshots:The dialog in the upper left corner

I just discovered this great Intel website: http://www.lesswatts.org/It gives you useful tips and guides how to save energy on Linux powered machines. In addition to the usual tips like "reduce LCD backlight power" there are some hints i would have never thought of - Did you know that you can save energy by editing your syslog configuration?There is also a tool to detect programs that "misbehave"

...because validity is important.What does validity mean?Validity of HTML code means that the code simply has no errors in it. An error could be a not (correctly) closed tag or a missing doctype declaration. It is a common mistake to think that websites that are displayed correctly are automatically valid.The correct syntax and usage of HTML is maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)¹

The whole Jabber infrastructure slightly equals the email (SMTP) system which can also be joined by everyone.There is no central
