網路流言，自己也沒有驗證過，不知道下面講的是不是真的有效。 分隔線 ------------------------------------ 全世界的手機都可以撥打的共同緊急救援號碼112，這時候你的手機會自動搜索所有可用的網絡並建立起緊急呼叫。特別有趣的是，即使你的手機是 在鍵盤鎖定的狀態，你同樣可以撥打112。 用手機撥通在家裡人的手機， 將你的手機拿在離車門 一英尺 的地方，同時家裡人拿著遙控器在他的手機旁邊，按響遙控器上的開鎖鍵，這邊你鎖 住的車門就可以打開了。 (真的嗎？有人成功的話告訴我！) 【*3370#】鍵，手機會重新啟動，啟動完畢後，你就會發現電量增加了50%。 【＊＃０６＃】，會出現手機的序列號馬。

An email message that has been forwarded to me. Blood Clots/Stroke - Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S *Ask the individual to SMILE. T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today.) R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOT...

I was able to do that but I kept encountering an error message when I run nvidia-settings: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. I thought the problem has something to do with the xorg.conf. Luckily, I was able to find the very one version before I ran kernel update. It was renamed as xorg.conf.1. I replaced my xorg.conf with this version and started the following steps. I think this was the key for success. p.s., My system is a 32-bit LTS version and my graphic card is Nvidia GeForce 6600. 1. Download the latest ve...

I am using OO.o on an Ubuntu PC. Here is the good fonts for equations typed in MATH. Commands to adjust font property: bold italic nbold -- switch bold off nitalic-- switch italic off Still need to verify: whether this will also look ok on a Windows PC. Some information for MATH: a look-up table from  Jeff Hoogland

Trying to use Octave to substute Matlab/Scilab. Its manual can be found here . Here are some tips: 0. Add my m files to current path use path to display the current searching path copy my m file directory to /usr/share/octave/3.0.0/m/, where it will automatically load once octave is started. 1. Change text size: text(10, 2, '{\fontsize {18} Whatever }') legend('{\fontsize {24} legend item 1}') 2. Change text style xlabel( '{ \bf label name for x}'), where \bf stands for bold fonts \it stands for italic font \sl stands for oblique font \rm stands for normal font 3. Output option: print ("print_this.png", "-dpng", "-landscape") print ("print_this.ps", "-dpsc", "-landscape")
