Yes, You could do it in the GIMP or even use Inkscape to auto-align the clones, but the command line is so much easier.

Building a Finite State Machine Using DFA::Simple

Building a Finite State Machine Using DFA::Simple By Bill Ruppert on September 23, 2004 12:00 AM I am converting some articles from MS Word to HTML by hand. I often use bulleted outlines so I face a lot of work creating lists with nested sub-lists. It didn’t take opening and closing many

and

• tags to realize I wanted to automate the task. It’s very easy to use filters with my text editor and I’ve written several in Perl to speed up my HTML formatting. I decided to create a filter to handle this annoying chore. After a little thought I decided the logic involved was just tricky enough to use a finite state machine (FSM) to keep things straight.

Install a fully functional terminal server capable of accepting connections from RDP(Windows).

Inoformation on xrdp:

The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop and Microsoft’s own terminal server / remote desktop clients.

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">

List all installed rpm packages and it’s size

If you are looking for a command to see the disk usage by each of the rpm‘s then you can use this command:

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      &nbsp;rpm -q --queryformat "%10{SIZE}\t%{NAME}\n"
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

And if you use this command very regularly then you can create an alias like

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      &nbsp;alias rpm_size='rpm -q --queryformat "%10{SIZE}\t%{NAME}\n" '
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

and use it like

New feature in Gnome/Nautilus

One of the things that I never realized that I am missing in Nautilus until they put the feature in was this. When a file is being copied and there is conflict, there should be option to rename the new file being copied. Also, if the file being copied is image then a small preview/thumbnail would be good.

Yesterday while copying some files, suddenly I noticed that this feature is there now. Pretty useful feature to have. Here’s the screen-shot.
