As a TXT file, it gets:

It is in the format of

Code:
Server;Country;Num;Data1;Data2;Data3

If there are multiple Num column, then it is in the format

Code:
Server;Country;
Num1
Num2;Data1ofNum1
Data1ofNum2;Data2ofNum1
Data2ofNum2;Data3ofNum1
Data3ofNum2

Now I need to write a uniq script where the user needs to find a server which has routing and Data2 lets say:

FOR EG of entered data: BRUS Data2

I want to see if data 2 + BRUS is available on a server, it should return London-47, London-48

but the problem is that the txt file grabs data per column and not by row.

If this question is not so clear please inform me.

Advocates call for a Netflix boycott amidst controversy about HTML5 video standards

Leave a comment

The vast majority of Netflix users probably have had no idea that the streaming platform has been doing some major under-the-hood noodling over the past few months. In particular, the company has initiated a push to migrate its video streaming technology from Microsoft’s Silverlight plugin to HTML5 video standards.

This push includes a lobbying effort at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)—in conjunction with Google and Microsoft—to push for Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology to be included in new HTML5 video standards.

The inclusion of DRM in HTML5 standards would give platforms (and copyright holders) more control over how content is streamed and shared. But it might also mean that—according to some advocates—the mechanics of the Web would be somewhat less transparent.

This sort of techno-talk might not mean much to most people, but the move has caused some advocates to call for a boycott of Netflix as the implementation of any DRM in the HTML standard is a big fat red line for many in the open-source community.

Infiltration complete: Google's Chrome app launcher lands on Windows

After months of behind-the-scenes teases, Google appears to have quietly introduced the Chrome App Launcher in the stable version of Chrome for Windows. The Chrome OS feature—ported over to the Chrome for Windows developer channel in February—wasn’t available through a search of the Chrome Web Store or advertised on the site’s front page at this writing, but Windows users can install it now by navigating directly to the Chrome App Launcher page inside Chrome’s app store.

First spotted by Engadget, the new feature is Google’s incursion into the desktop PC, creating a self-sufficient Chrome ecosystem inside Microsoft’s OS. The Chrome App Launcher lets you directly fire up any Chrome Web app or packaged app right from the Windows taskbar—even when Chrome itself isn’t running.

Packaged apps are HTML 5-based standalone desktop apps based on Chrome that don’t look anything like your Web browser. There are no tabs, URL address bars, or bookmarks, but these apps do rely on Chrome’s underlying infrastructure and are installed via the Chrome Web Store.

Play Cut The Rope on your desktop with the Chrome packaged app.

It’s still early days for packaged apps, but there are a number you can try out, such as a generic text editor and an IRC client, as well as known quantities like Cut the Rope, the Economist, and Weather Bug. For a list of interesting packaged apps to test see this post from Pocketables.

Daniel Holbach: Gute Arbeit, deutsches Übersetzungsteam!

Leave a comment
:)

The German translations team have done it! They brought the German translation of the Ubuntu Packaging Guide above 70%, which is the magic threshold for us to enable the translation in the package. Since earlier today you will find this in the Packaging Guide Daily Build PPA (soon going to land in Debian and then in Ubuntu too):

daniel@daydream:~$ apt-cache search german packaging guide ubuntu
ubuntu-packaging-guide-html-de - Ubuntu Packaging Guide - HTML guide - German version
ubuntu-packaging-guide-pdf-de - Ubuntu Packaging Guide - PDF guide - German version
ubuntu-packaging-guide-epub-de - Ubuntu Packaging Guide - EPUB guide - German version
daniel@daydream:~$

You can also check out the HTML version, single page HTML, PDF version and EPUB version on the web.

This is great news for everyone who wants to get started with Ubuntu development as it will make the first steps easier. Let’s get the translations up to 100% now!

Current translations stats are looking like this now:

  • Spanish (96%).
  • Brazilian Portuguese, Russian (83%).
  • German (72%).
  • Traditional Chinese (28%).
  • Japanese (14%).
  • French (10%).
  • Dutch, Indonesian (5%).
  • Chinese Hong Kong (1%).
  • Italian, Greek, Telugu, Australian English, Vietnamese, Kannada, Macedonian, Swedish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese. Latvian, Slovenian, Croatian, Hungarian, Catalan (0%).

Please help out making the guide available in your language as well. Start here.

Cannot compile/install gnu program

Hello,

I’m trying to install ansifilter which is a program that translates ansi text to HTML.
The idea is to install it on AIX 7.1 but is failing. All de appropriate gcc libraries and requirements for this software were installed successfully, but when I do the gmake I get the following error:

News in kdepim 4.11: Scam detection

Leave a comment

A bug report signaled me that KMail didn’t have Scam detection.

So I decided to implement it.
The phishing used several method that KMail try to detect:
  • some HTML email uses a title in href different from url ( for example :hello it’s your bank
  • url has a redirect url
  • html mail has a form
  • url uses directly IP
So when KMail detects it it shows a warning:
You can:
  • Show details (what KMail detected)
  • Move mail directly to trash (=> avoid to click on)
  • Confirm that it’s not a scam, we don’t want that warning is show all the time because Scan detection shows false positive
  • Disable Scam detection for all.

You have details dialogbox too:

Eco-Trade Corp. (BOPT) Announces Anticipated Receipt of Independent Engineering Report from Renowned

Eco-Trade Corp. (BOPT) Announces Anticipated Receipt of Independent Engineering Report from Renowned Firm That Has Been Engaged to Provide Reserve Estimates

Company positioned in middle of newest major oil play in America

GREAT FALLS, Mont.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Eco-Trade Corp. (OTCQB: BOPT), an independent oil and gas exploration Company, announces its anticipated receipt of an Independent Engineering Report through the Company’s engagement of Integrated Petroleum Technologies Inc. (IPT) to provide an Engineering Report on its Bakken Prospect.

IPT is a petroleum engineering services company managed by practicing petroleum engineers that have extensive operator and service company experience. They specialize in most aspects associated with the preparation of reserve reports, integration of modern well completion, hydraulic fracture stimulation and petroleum reservoir engineering technologies in horizontal and vertical wells. IPT has a very large number of clients and is very well respected in the industry by major oil and gas companies. Please visit their client page at http://www.iptengineers.com/IPT-Clients.HTML.

Energy companies update their investors on the amount of oil and natural gas reserves they have access to through a reserve update. This update typically includes proved, probable and possible reserves, and is similar to an inventory report that a retailer might provide to investors.

The total amount of reserves that a company estimates having access to, is calculated as the sum of all proved and unproved reserves. Unproved reserves are broken into two segments: those based on geological and engineering estimates from proved sources (probable) and those that are less likely to be extracted due to financial or technical difficulties (possible).

Once the Company has received this report it will be able to file with The United States Securities and Exchange Commission which permits oil and gas companies to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions.

Canon Bryan, CEO of Eco-Trade, noted, “Our first goal is to identify oil and gas property targets in areas known to have production and/or strong production potential. By mitigating risk early on, we have the potential for strong upside economics with higher than industry average margins.”

Eco-Trade is fully-reporting, independent oil and gas exploration company, that has drilling and production rights on a property in Lewis & Clark County in

Review: MotionArtist lets artists become animators without learning code

Leave a comment
Kim Jong Un

Motion Artist 1.0 generates interactive HTML 5 video presentation of comics and more.  This full release offers more customization of animation files, tighter recording controls, and better asset editing compared to the July 2012 beta. Motion Artist ($60, buy-only) makes animating images and text relatively easy for comic artists and web designers with imported files. Unlike with Flash, you can’t draw in the program and then animate their creations. The focus is on animating existing image files from other sources.

Artwork by Karen Luk
The blue line with dots represents an animation path. Under Project Settings, Motion Artist offers common video dimension sizes.

Motion Artist opens to a default project designed by Smith Micro, showcasing various animation techniques. However, comic artists unfamiliar with using an animation program or film terms might find all the controls tricky to animate their comic pages. Imported PSD files maintain their layers for animation or the user can composite the layers into a single layer. JPG, PNG and Motion Artist vendor Smith Micro‘s Anime Studio are other supported file types.

Motion Artist has three different views: Director, Camera and Panel. Animators will recognize the toolbar and scene list, and the timeline setup with its default of 30 frames per second. Thanks to GPU acceleration, users can play working files back in real time, which assists in editing the video. In addition to using your own video, you can animate panels, text and speech balloons with various effects in Motion Artist.

Comic artists can use difference scenes to cut between comic panels or pages. For example in film, opening credits can be the first scene, followed by the next one of the characters walking into camera view. In comics, it can be moving from one panel to the next or page to page. Motion Artist is set up for multiple scenes, so comic artists can animate individual pages or panels and then cut them together for a single presentation.

I am working on a requirement in which I need to send an email (to outlook mailbox) with a html file attachment and mail body in html format.

I wrote the below code for sendmail. Code working fine and email is also reaching the recipient address but, mail body is missing completely and attachment is coming properly. It would be really great if someone can help me solve this problem.

Law Librarian Creates LibreOffice, gscan2PDF How-to Videos for 100 Linux Tutorials Campaign

Leave a comment

By libbyclark

Library technician John Kerr was one of the first Linux community members to add his how-to videos to the 100 Linux Tutorials Video Campaign this year.  The brief screencasts showcase software that he uses everyday in his job at the county court house library for the Wellington Law Association in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

The tutorials include “How to Use LibreOffice to Create Labels (and) Book Cards with Ubuntu Linux” and “How to Use gscan2PDF for Libraries.” By creating and sharing his videos, thousands of Linux users across the globe have watched and learned from his experience with these programs. 

The Linux Foundation late last year kicked off the video campaign to collect 100 Linux tutorials in order to help create a knowledge base for Linux users. We’re now 25 percent of the way to our goal and counting.

“It is fun. But more than that, making the tutorials is my way of giving back to the FLOSS community,” Kerr said via email.

Kerr started using Linux five years ago when he got the urge to tinker with computers and software. But he didn’t want to be in danger of breaking copyright or EULA so he turned to open source software.

“Linux allowed me to tinker to my heart’s content,” he said.

Since then he’s discovered many useful free programs that help him with his work, including LibreOffice, gscan2PDF and a free bibliographic add-on to Firefox called Zotero. The program is intended to help scholars research and write papers, though he uses it at the law library to catalogue books, case law, websites and more, and to organize research.

Other favorite programs include Gedit, Sigil to create e-books, and BlueGriffon, his choice for HTML. And recently he’s taken Linux beyond his work to help record services at the church he attends using Audacity.

To those just getting started with Linux, Kerr recommends reading magazines such as Linux Pro and Ubuntu User, which have live DVDs along with helpful articles. Joining an online Linux user is also a great place to get your technical questions answered and to meet interesting people. And, of course, watching video tutorials!

“I have met some great people through my involvement with Linux,” Kerr said, “and I thank the members of the Kitchener Waterloo Linux Users Group and Marcel Gagne’s WFTL-LUG for their help and friendship.”

Do you have experience with Linux? Share your knowledge with the community by uploading or embedding a video tutorial to videos.Linux.com and help us meet our goal of gathering 100 videos. See the full details at the 100 Linux Tutorials Video Campaign web page.

Review: GmailWiz is a productivity tool that might hurt your productivity

Leave a comment

Many of us spend hours each day reading and writing emails. This activity, while essential, can often become quite repetitive. Sometimes, especially if emails are part of your work, you may need to reply to several emails with the same short sentence or response. This adds up to a large amount of time wasted doing the same work. A free Chrome extension called GmailWiz aims to take Gmail’s own canned responses feature to the next level, by turning this time-intensive task into one that takes no longer than half a second and one click. Although it’s a good idea, the current implementation is lacking.

The add-on adds four new buttons to your message interface, each stands for a different instant reply.

GmailWiz is built around InstantReply buttons, each containing its own instant reply. There are four of these buttons, pre-set with names such as “Like!”, “Got it” and “Let’s discuss”, each with its own matching icon. You cannot change these icons or names, but you can change the actual text to match your most-used replies. Every time you want to use one of them, simply click on the appropriate button and the reply will be written and sent for you instantly. At least, that’s the plan.

Reality is quite different, unfortunately. While GmailWiz shows lots of potential, it fails to deliver on its promise. To start, the add-on’s website claims you can choose who will receive your InstantReply (reply only to sender or to all), and that “each InstantReply button can have its own setting”. This is not the case, and switching between Reply to Sender and Reply to All affects all InstantReplies. In addition, you can add several versions for each InstantReply, but there’s no easy way to switch between them except visiting the Options page again. Even if you go through the trouble of doing this, the replies don’t actually change every time—it’s more like trial and error.

Let’s give GmailWiz a chance and assume you only want one possible reply for each button. A reply can be simple or formatted text, can include numbered or bulleted lists, and can include URLs that automatically turn into links. You can’t however, include links with custom anchor text, or any custom HTML, and RTL support is only partial. So now that you’ve managed to create four (or less) InstantReplies, is using them painless, at least? Not quite.

Review: Dell C1760nw color printer

Leave a comment

We’ve spent a lot of electronic ink telling you to avoid low-cost color laser printers, because they’re all slow, with sparse features, and worst of all, really expensive toner. We’d almost advise the same about the $280 (as of March 25, 2013) Dell C1760nw color laser-class printer (it uses LED technology), but it has one thing going for it: impressive graphics quality, which is challenging to find on any office color laser printer at any price point. Choose this one above the rest, if you must, but you might also want to check out the faster, far more economical, office-class inkjets that we’ve seen from Epson and HP.

The C1760nw’s two-line LCD display and control buttons are minimal, but effective. The menu structure is nicely laid out, making options easy to find. A blue light directly above the controls indicates the status of Wi-Fi connections. You can also manage the printer via Wi-Fi or Ethernet using the unit’s HTML configuration interface. In addition to the PC and Mac drivers, the C1760nw offers remote-printing features, including printing from mobile devices and via email.

As with most low-cost color lasers, paper-handling features on the C1760nw are sparse. The front face folds down to create a 150-sheet, open-faced input tray on the bottom of the unit. A 10-page, removable bypass tray sits directly on top of it. The bypass tray allows you to print envelopes and other one-offs without unloading and reloading that main tray, as required with the single-tray C1660w. The output bin integrated into the top of the unit holds 100 sheets. The C1760nw lacks automatic two-side printing (duplexing), however, onscreen prompts walk you through the manual process. You can easily reach most of the paper path for clearing paper jams by folding down the panel on the back of the unit, and the toner cartridges are accessed via a panel on the right side of the unit.

Though cheaper than the C1660w’s, the C1760nw’s toner is still no bargain. The 3.5 cents you’ll pay per black page is around the average for entry-level inkjets, but the additional 5 cents for each additional color is high. Black toner is sold in $70, 2000-page units and the 1400-page cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges cost $70 each as well. Those are the high-capacity supplies. Dell also sells the 700-page cartridges the C1760nw ships with, but unless you want to pay over 7 cents per page (cpp) for black pages and over 8 cents per color, we recommend against them.

Buried within Windows 8 are little-known features that can give your website a prominent presence alongside the apps on any user’s desktop. Exploiting these options can enhance your site’s visitor experience and give your business a competitive advantage. For example, people can pin your website to Windows 8’s new Start Screen, share your site with others via its Charms bar, and access shortcuts to your content.

Although Windows 8 remains controversial, it counts millions of early adopters, and Windows will likely remain the most popular operating system for the foreseeable future. That’s why it matters to optimize your website now for Microsoft’s newest OS. Luckily, all it takes is adding add some custom code to your website, and it doesn’t take heavy-duty developer skills. Read on to get started.

Customize your Windows 8 Start Screen tile

PCWorld’s red favicon

When visitors browse your website using the Internet Explorer app in the new Windows 8 interface, they can pin your site to the Windows Start Screen. This creates a “live tile” icon in Windows, serving as a shortcut to your site.

Make sure your website has a favicon—the Favorite or Bookmark icon that appears in your browser’s address bar or tab—since that icon appears in Windows 8’s tile. Otherwise, you’ll see the IE icon by default. Windows 8 extracts the dominant color from your favicon, if available, and uses it as the live tile’s background color. It uses your site’s HTML title tag for the name of the tile.

I’m particularly happy to announce that the Brazilian team managed to get their translation of the Ubuntu Packaging Guide up to more than 70% of completion, which is the magic threshold to get it accepted and posted on developer.ubuntu.com. This means that our current list of available languages is:

  • English
  • Spanish (99%)
  • Russian (85%)
  • Brazilian Portuguese (74%)

You can view the individual forms of the Packaging Guide in Brazilian Portuguese here:

Right at the start I said that I was “particularly happy” about this translation. That’s because I recently picked up a little bit of Portuguese. Mostly useful sentences like “Meu irmão gosta de cerveja” or “O leão escreve cartas”. Thanks Duolingo!

A big big big “obrigado” to the tireless Brazilian Portuguese translators. You all are heroes! This is great news for everyone who wants to get involved in Ubuntu development, as it smoothes the first steps considerably.

You can help out with translations. Just head to the Packaging Guide’s translation page in Launchpad, pick your language and get started. Current runners-up to the translations mentioned earlier are:

  • German (32%)
  • Japanese (15%)
  • French (7%)
  • Indonesian (5%)
  • Dutch (4%)

The available translations are not entirely complete yet either, so please do get involved.
