Free Linux shell accounts

vote

A shell account is a personal account that gives a user access to a Unix shell on a remote server, usually accessed through SSH (and historically telnet). A shell account can be used for many different purposes because many different programs can be run on the shell. It might be used to try out another operating system, running IRC clients or bots, compile and run source code and scripts, to host websites, or to use e-mail services. It might be possible to run programs on the server even while not connected, using background jobs or programs such as the GNU screen terminal multiplexer.

Most servers have policies in place on the accounts that limit different kind of resources, like disk usage (Disk quota) or processes.

On some free shell accounts services, if there is no login to a particular account for a long period of time, that account may get automatically deleted. Free shell account services often do not allow background processes. read more...

vote

Recovering ext2, ext3 and reiserFS filesystems...

The error is generally encountered while attempting to access a Linux partition, trying to mount it or while starting the system. The error specifications also include rw, limit and want parameters that define some sector numbers.

The reason why the error message occurs is that system tries to access such sectors that are not there on disk.

Learn Java with ease

vote

A very good site dedicated to java with a very useful collection of articles for Java Developers.

Java 3D is a scene graph-based 3D application programming interface (API) for the Java platform. It runs on top of either OpenGL or Direct3D. Since version 1.2, Java 3D has been developed under the Java Community Process.

Compared to other solutions, Java 3D is not only a wrapper around these graphics APIs, but an interface that encapsulates the graphics programming using a real, object-oriented concept.

Customizing Windows Vista

vote

When you first turn on your new computer system, you see the Windows desktop as Microsoft (or your computer manufacturer) set it up for you. If you like the way it looks, great. If not, you can change it.

Windows presents a lot of different ways to personalize the look and feel of your desktop. In fact, one of the great things about Windows is how quickly you can make the desktop look like your desktop, different from anybody else’s.

Windows Control Panel:

Virtually all of Windows’ settings are configured via the Control Panel. You open the Control Panel by clicking the Start button and selecting Control Panel; from there, what you see depends on which version of Windows you’re using. In Windows Vista, the Control Panel looks like the one shown in Figure 1. read more...

Writer4me.com: Hire professional ghostwriters, bloggers

vote

General Comments

1. Their Price. They are by far the most reasonably priced writing/ghostwriting service I came across. They are charging $9.99 per page to write books, ebooks, articles and blog posts. Though they have other services at higher prices too, I believe their $9.99 per page pricing is affordable to anyone. It saves you from the hassles of hunting for freelancers.

2. Their range. Writer4me.com is offering a wide range of services - probably I saw over 35 different services they are offering: from business cards to brochures, from ebooks to screenplays; from blog posts to sales pages ; one will get almost every writing and mild-designing service under one roof.

3. Their experience. Their founder, has worked with BBC and National Geographic and has been in the industry for about 10 years as far as I am aware.

4. Their professionalism. I liked their efficiency. I had ordered 2 ebooks to be written - one 30 page small ebook on boxing and another 80 page ebook on credit repair. They delivered me the 1st within the 1st week; and the 2nd on the 11th day. There were nothing much we had to get altered.

5. Customer service. They have 24/7 customer service and they have always got back to me within 3 - 6 hours.

6. Their blog. Their official blog is a good one and I got to know much about small business from it. It was helpful.

7. Their high end services - Their high end services like screenplay writing, biography, hire a bestseller writer, are quite exclusive, though they come with a higher price tag.

Good Points

The best thing about writer4me.com is that I did not have to post projects for bidding and waste time - their prices are at par with services like Elance. Besides, I got everything under one roof - my ebook, ebook cover design, sales page copy, website development. I did not have to contact 3 different organizations for these services. That way I would recommend their services.
Bad Points

1. For their economical pricing ($9.99 per page) I think some people may underestimate their professionalism. I think they should raise their price to a higher standard, considering the good service they provide.

2. From time to time they announce various offers. In March I got the offer 10% off on order over $1,000; in April the offer became 1 ebook cover design free with one ebook. Personally it made me feel, I should have waited for the better offer. You never know what offer they are announcing next month, and whether that offer is going to be better than the current month's offer.

Free Games should be Free

vote

Ever wonder why playing Free Online Games often requires a membership? Yeah, you can play 10 or so games as a guest, but then comes the part of giving up your email address and bulking up on more spam. Great!

We don't like that scenario either. That's why we designed www.getgameshere.com. A site with no membership section, ever. The site is filled with free games to play, for free.

The collection is no where near as large as other gaming sites. It is being carefully hand picked to select only quality games.

We hope you'll like our idea. The site has a contact area where you can drop us a line and let us know. read more...
