Σύγκριση καρτοκινητών

Σκέφτομαι να φύγω από Wind F2G. Η Wind μέχρι τώρα είχε φοβερές προσφορές. Αλλά σε μερικά που θέλω (π.χ. internet) δε συμφέρει. Προς το παρόν, ορίστε τα ισχύοντα. Με βλέπω προς vodafone cu, μεριά... Και unlimited και λίγο Internet με 7€/μήνα. Εκτός κι αν βγάλουν προσφορές με μηδενικό κόστος όπως φέτος.

Change android system files [HTC Desire]

So I bought my HTC Desire and I wanted to change the hosts file in /etc
But you can;t change system files that easily. At first I had to download HTC Sync in my windows OS in order to be able to use adb usb drivers.
I downloaded android sdk, which it did its own stuff...

The really good part is where you get to open a cmd and then go to the tools directory. From there, one has to reboot into recovery mode. Mine was rooted, so I had to go to clockworkmod recovery->advanced->key
Then issue these commands:
adb shell mount /system #not sure if this worked
adb push [hosts] /etc


And then reboot. Not hard uh???

Edit: For the most bold and daring of you, why not try S-OFF??? Then you won't have to be in recovery mode. The phone can be on and still you will be able to alter your files.

Android

So I recently got my htc desire (well not so recently, it's been 2 months already).

Add ttf fonts in ubuntu

Ok, so you've downloaded a great font (what about this one... ok maybe not) and you don't know how to install in Ubuntu?

Fear no more. Just sudo cp your file to /usr/share/fonts and then issue this command: sudo fc-cache -f -v

Disabling 'recent documents' in Ubuntu

To disable, open up a Terminal window by clicking on Application \ Accessories \ Terminal from the top panel menu and enter the following set of commands:

rm ~/.recently-used.xbel

followed by…

touch ~/.recently-used.xbel

…one more (after entering the following command, you will be prompted to enter your password)

sudo chattr +i ~/.recently-used.xbel

Next, clear the Recent Documents list as described above.
Now when you check Places \ Recent Documents again, it should now be greyed out and disabled.
No more displaying "those" recently viewed documents (..aahem).

To explain what occurred to disable Recent Documents using the above set of commands:
We first removed the file recently-used.xbel (located in the root of your Home directory by using the rm command (this file is used to store the list of documents)
Next we re-created the file using the touch command.
Then we changed the attribute of the file to make it inaccessible using the command chattr +i.
If you decide someday that you want to enable displaying of Recent Documents, just run the following command:

sudo chattr -i ~/.recently-used.xbel

The view will remain greyed out and disabled until you access a document, which will cause it to start displaying viewed documents.
Oh yeah, one more thing, when you do enable Recent Documents, all documents that you accessed when it was disabled, will be visible. So make sure you clear them out again….otherwise everyone will be able to see what you were trying to hide in the first place

Change buttons in menu bar in ubuntu

So new Ubuntu goes the Apple way trying to modify the button order on the top bar. In case you don't like this setting and you want it Windows® style then open a terminal and type gconf-editor
Then search for (apps/metacity/general/button_layout) and set to menu:minimize,maximize,close
Upon hitting enter changes should take immediate effect.

Change your MAC address

Most people only think in terms of IP addresses assigned to a computer. With the help of the Arp command, IP addresses are translated to MAC addresses which, in turn, allow the machine to speak to the network. Your MAC address is set by the manufacturer. In this article I am going to show you a very handy GTK tool that allows you to change that MAC address.


Why change?

There are reasons why you would want to change a MAC address on a machine. Some of the reasons are:
Get past a MAC filtering device.
Sniffing connections on a network.
Obfuscate the manufacturer-created MAC address.

Many reasons people change MAC addresses are less-than-friendly. I am, in no way, advocating such acts. I only show this tool for those reasons that are, as we say, “above board”. For example. I have, only rarely, seen an instance where somehow the MAC address of a built-in network card was the same as the MAC address of a router. Because of this that machine was unable to get online. There were two ways around this: Purchase a new NIC or change the MAC address of the built-in NIC. For the latter reason, I took advantage of MACchanger-GTK.

Installation

Installation is simple:
Open up your Add/Remove Software utility.
Search for “macchanger” (no quotes).
Select MACchanger-GTK for installation (this will pick up any requirements necessary).
Click Apply to install.

That’s it. You are ready to use MACchanger-GTK.

Usage


Figure 1

Using this tool is simple. But you will not find a menu entry for MACchanger-GTK. Instead you have to start it from either the command line (with the command macchanger-gtk) or by hitting F2 and then entering macchanger-gtk. Once open you will see a very simple interface (see Figure 1) ready to change your MAC address. To do this follow these steps:

1. Select your Network Interface from the drop down.

2. Click See current MAC (this will display your address in a new window).

3. Click the Known vendor button. If your NIC is detected with enough information you can then change the address to another address of the same manufacturer. If not, your best bet is to go with Random.

4. From the Options drop down select one of the methods for changing your address.

5. Click Change MAC.

That will change the MAC address of your network interface card. Once changed you can then click the Quit button to dismiss the MACchanger-Gtk window.

Final thoughts

I can’t stress enough that this tool should only be used for legitimate, legal reasons. Do not attempt to use MACchanger-GTK for any purpose that would land you in trouble. And, should you do so, Ghacks or the author is not, in any way, responsible for your actions.

On those occasions that you do need to change a MAC address (for the right reasons) it’s good to know you have a simple GUI tool in Linux to do the job.

Suspend and lock command

Ok, so you're used to locking your system with Super+L in Windows and you can't find a way to do so in Ubuntu.

Well compiz has feature which you can set a number of commands with a certain key binding.
Open a terminal and type ccsm.

Then, at the first command line type gnome-screensaver-command --lock and at the second one dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Suspend. Go to the next tab (Key binding) and at Run command 0 grab the combination Super+L. Do the same for the suspend function at the second key binding (I've set it to Super+Ctrl+S).

And there you go. Lock and Suspend with a press of button (sort of)...
