    Unix Terminal in Windows

    Cygwin is an option, never used it though but learnt about it in my OS class. Windows's Kernel and linux/unix have different system calls so there is no way bash would work on windows, but something similar can be created, like fork() is to create a new process in linux, and the similar system...

    Laptop vs Desktop...

    I own a desktop(sig) as well as a laptop (netbook). I rarely use my laptop, it basically serves as an external HDD and a test system for Linux Distros. I hate using laptops, specially their touchpads, and to properly use your laptop you have to carry around your laptop, charger, mouse, flash...

    This turned out to be a discussion thread so I thought why not just use this. And I found a couple of guides on xda but they were a bit advanced for me. They assumed that you have rooted atleast once before.

    What Web Browser Do You Use?

    Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

    I realized Android 4.0 is more resource efficient compared to gingerbread and also its interface is to put it simply tasty. There is an inbuilt network data manager and you can take screenshots. Then there is also a better keyboard, I mean there are two levels of spell check once while you are...

    Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

    Did anyone try Android 4.0? I just installed it on my Nexus S, and it is amazing. It will seem a bit slow at the beginning but once you have browsed everything on it, it will work at normal speed. I don't know how this works but the download link for the update.zip is available here...

    Perl/PHP Thread

    I think URL masking is the best method, for regular websites.I am not sure what facebook uses. But I won't be surprised if they create new files for every user they have since they own the appropriate server resources needed to get the job done. But something like creating new files for every...
