Dupa cum era de asteptat, prima imbunatatire adusa dictionarului pentru Kindle este adaugarea formelor flexionare.Din nou baza de date furnizata de DEXOnline a facut ca rezolvarea sa fie floare la ureche, informatia fiind usor de extrasDe data aceasta a trebuit sa invat putin Python pentu a putea modifica scriptul tab2opf.py si sa studiez putin tagurile pentru forme flexionare din Mobipocket.Noul

I just finished upgrading the firmware on my Blackberry using the tutorial from BerryReview.Everything went smooth, after I downloaded the actual phone software instead of the Desktop Manager with the wrong name.I recommend using BBSAK, it works perfectly.This is the url for the tutorial : http://www.berryreview.com/2010/01/31/how-to-upgrade-your-blackberry-operating-system/This is the url for

Today I moved my business website hosting to Google Apps. The great news for me was that Google Apps has a free standard version that allow my company to have 50 email boxes, access to docs, calendar and host my website.The trickiest thing I had to solve was the lack of DNS hosting, but EveryDNS provides a very good free DNS service.The DNS problem is this : Google does not have a DNS hosting

I found this article on CNET http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10399880-93.html Considering that on that list there are quite a lot of 'big' names, it makes me think if I should be worried about some Russian/Chinese guys hack my card online or a very respectable retailer like Hertz, Barnes & Noble or Pizza Hut will sell it after I make a purchase from them.I was pondering if I should get a Nook or

The first thing I noticed about Blackberry is that it is unable to share VCards using SMS.Whenever a Nokia user sends a VCard (contact) to a Blackberry phone , the receiver has no way to import the Contact to the address book except for multiple copy/paste and task switching.To send a contact from Blackberry to a Nokia phone there is no option because even if the sender can format a VCARD in a

A few years ago I had some debates about what is the standard number of square meters per employee in a multi-national corporation.Nowadays, I left the big corporation and moved to a startup. Budgets are tight, office space is premium so we needed some innovative ideas to maximize the utilization of our office space.The philosophy behind my solution is based on the use of motorcycles & scooters

I recently purchased a widescreen camera and wanted to publish some home-made clips on the internet.First choice was Youtube, but I soon found that I had to add black stripes on the top and bottom of the video, otherwise Youtube would strech it to 4:3 format.I thought that it was't too nice, but my friends were happy with the result so I never searched for alternatives until I found about Vimeo.

Pe 25 iulie 2008 Ziarul Financiar a publicat un articol numit "Peste 1,5 milioane de romani au intrat deja in recesiune in Spania si Italia".Printre sursele citate in acel articol se afla si domnul Laurentiu Plosceanu, presedintele Asociatiei Romane a Antreprenorilor din Romania care afirma urmatoarele :"Profiturile nu se mai fac in Spania, ci in Romania. Cea mai buna solutie ar fi ca romanii

One of the most often requirement for AJAX and Flash sites is 'Implement BACK button functionality'. Most of the time the programmers have to explain to the customer why "Back" button does not work as expected in an AJAX or Flash application.jBookmarker is an Open Source javascript library that allows any web application to implement "Back button functionality" and bookmarking in AJAX and Flash

Vodafone lanseaza primul internet cu adevarat nelimitat pe mobil in Romania.Incepand cu data de 16 februarie 2008 in oferta de date a Vodafone apare "Unlimited Mobile Internet" .Pentru 9 euro + TVA pe luna se ofera internet prin HSDPA cu 1 mbps si politica de utilizare rezonabila de 1GB/luna. Caracterul de nelimitare se manifesta la depasirea acestei limite cand traficul suplimentar nu este taxat

De curand am testat si modemul Z020 de la Zapp pe acelasi Eee PC.Am inceput prin a ma uita pe scripturile oferite de Zapp pentru Linux si am ajuns repede la concluzia ca Z020 merge ca orice alt modem folosind driverul usbserial.Din aceleasi scripturi am extras si numarul de telefon si userul pentru conectare.Procedura este mai simpla decat la Huawei E220:- se porneste wizardul "Network"- se alege

O serie de articole publicate pe GNUCITIZEN au demonstrat cum se pot modifica setarile unui router fara a avea acces la reteaua privata si parolele de administrare.Ideea exploatata este o vulnerabilitate de design a UPnP (Universal Plug'n'Play) care consta in posibilitatea de a schimba setarile de routare fara a impune autentificarea prealabila. Astfel se pot deschide porturi in firewall, se pot

Pentru pasionatii de tuning de motoare pe injectie exista de ceva timp un ECU open-source. Marele avantaj al acestui ECU, fata de solutile comerciale (gen PowerCommander) este documentatia exhaustiva si software-ul opensource. Astfel sunt disponibile o suita de programe de tuning cat si mai multe versiuni de firmware pentru diferite aplicatii (de ex: turbo, NOS, injectie de apa)Pe site-ul

I thought this article would interest more people if it was written in English, so I re-wrote it.:One of the greatest strengths of eee PC is that it has an Atheros wireless card and this makes it the best tool for wireless monitoring (small, light, good wireless performance) .I did a little research on the forums and people seemed to have some problems with madwifi drivers that needed a patch for

Azi am iesit sa cumpar "Versetele Satanice" ale lui Salman Rushdie. Avand in vedere ca acest roman i-a adus autorului condamnarea la moarte, eu zic ca merita citit. Gandindu-ma ca doar adevarul poate deranja atat de mult, mi-am zis ca trebuie sa citesc aceasta carte si am plecat sa o caut prin oras.Astazi cartea se epuizase deja la Carturesti, dar am gasit-o la Diverta de pe bulevardul Magheru.

O veste buna pentru cei care si-au cumparat un Asus Eee PC si doresc sa-l foloseasca cu un modem Huawei E220 a.k.a. "Vodafone Smart Modem 3G Broadband". Eee PC include driverele necesare iar setup-ul este mai simplu decat pe windows :1. Click pe "Network":2. Click pe "Create"3. Alegeti tipul conexiunii : "GSM/3G(UMTS)/HSDPA" si apoi click "Next"4. Selectati "Huawei - E220" cu numarul cel mai mic
