Merging pdf's 

Generally we might have to refer two or more pdf's at a time, in that case it would be very hard to switch to pdf to another pdf.
So here is a command in Linux to merge two or more pdf's into a single output pdf.

gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=output.pdf 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf
Here 1.pdf 2.pdf are file names and output.pdf is the final output file name.

Samba sharing

In ubuntu we can share files in several ways :
among them hfs,terminal sharing(python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000) and one more file sharing way is to use samba sharing its a .deb software which enables user to share directly their files by clicking sharing options under the options of sharing options

as it is  going well to share files using samba.It simplified file sharing .

But one day I encountered a problem that is when I click on "share this folder" I got an error saying like this: 
net share returned error 255 max limit of  shares = 100 exceeded"

I referred so many websites to rectify this error..all they are saying that to modify the  usershare max shares = 100 in /etc/samba/smb.conf 
But it does not work.

But finally i found a solution to this problem
/var/lib/samba/usershares - in this folder it consist of no.of files that we shared.Once it reached 100 , it will not allow user to share files

so we have delete the shared files , this way we can rectify the above error

Friends Have you ever wondered...?
 
Why is the 2 GB memory card having 1.8 GB Memory...? or
Why is the 8 GB pen drive having 7.5 GB...?

This was a question that one of my friends asks me after giving a 8 GB pen drives to us recently in our college. 

I really didn’t ask that question to myself. So, I couldn’t answer that instantly.
After a few days of information searching I realize the truth. 


So, here I’m going... bring the facts the way I told my friend.
All Pen drives  manufacturer way of counting space is different from the way a software count a space.
This means to a Pen drives Manufacturer, 1GB is 1000 MB, 1 MB is 1000 KB . Software or computer language recognize a space in terms of power of 2 say 2^1, 2^2,2^3 etc.
Hence a KB is 2^10 Bytes which is 1024 Bytes.Lets do a little math:
From a Manufacturer a 2 GB hard disk is 2 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 =2000000000 Bytes But From the Computer Language point of view a 2000000000 Bytes is:2000000000 / (1024*1024*1024) =186264515 Bytes i.e 1.8 GB.
Now you’ll see why your 2 GB memory card of 8 has only less than 232.83 GB space in total. !! Hope this might be helpful a bit...!@ShivaIIIT

Here are 15 thing's you didn't know about Google:

Hey Google!! You'll always be our homepage !!
1. Google was originally called BackRub. The homepage read: "BackRub is a
'web crawler' which is designed to traverse the web."...
2. Google has acquired an average of one company every week since 2010.
3. The first Google doodle was a Burning Man symbol. Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin went to the Burning Man festival in 1998 and added the doodle to let users know they were away from the office that weekend.
4. Google hired its first in-house chef, Charlie Ayers, in November 1999, when the company had just 40 employees.
5. Ayers went on to become the firm's executive chef, overseeing a team of 150 employees across 10 cafes at its headquarters in Mountain View,California.
6. You can use Gmail in more than 50 languages.
These include: Welsh, Basque,Tagalog, Malayalam,Telugu and Cherokee.

8. One of those millionaires was masseuse Bonnie Brown, who worked at the company giving back rubs for $450 a week back in 1999.
9. The "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, which bypasses the results page to take users
directly to the first result of their search, has been estimated to cost Google around $100m in lost ad
revenue every year.
10
. Google hires goats. In 2009, the company rented around 200 goats for a week to eat the
grass and fertilise the soil at its California headquarters.
11. Google's first official tweet was the words "I'm feeling lucky" in binary.
12. Almost all of rival company Mozilla's money comes from Google. The firm pays
$300m a year to be the default search engine on Mozilla's web browser Firefox.
13. Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin own just 16% of the company.
14. That 16% gives them a combined net worth of around $46bn.

Your computer was used in your absence?

Do you want to know whether your PC was used in your absence???

Events are stored in three log files: Application, Security, and System.
