iTunes can be used from many things but I think Apple's Lawyers went a bit overboard in this case. Image from FAIL Blog

This is a test of an embedded youtube video in a blog post.

Yesterday President Obama spoke some words that I feel really mean something to all of us who work in our shops, labs, and garages re purposing old devices and inventing new ones.

I quote: “…think about new and creative ways to engage young people in science and engineering, like science festivals, robotics competitions, and fairs that encourage young people to create, build, and invent — to be makers of things, not just consumers of things.”

How does one join split files with extensions like ".001 .002 .003 .004…" back together into one file again?

Split files like these are likely made by Windows users using the QuickPar program, and as such linux users can rejoin them into the original file using command line options of the pararchive package. Using the following command par will see the split files as additional blocks and it will check, repair and concatenate (aka joining) the files into the single original file or files.

Well, today is the last day that Comcast offered Usenet service. Has Eternal September finally come to an end? While I came along after the AOL added Usenet, I was first exposed to newsgroups (and Linux) in my first semester at PennState. I guess I have always regarded Usenet to be superior to forums due to the higher quality of responses. Simply put between IRC and Usenet, I have always been able to find the answer to my question, or at least be put on the correct path to said answer. Fortunately, I subscribe to an independent Usenet provider, , so my Usenet will not disappear.

Saw an interesting article by Brian Proffitt, a Managing Editor at Linux Today. In his article titled. Maybe We Should Charge For Linux, he raises the issue of price and quality in the minds of many consumers.

A fellow Linux User in my hometown lug, Jonathon Mager aka Yonkletron, has organized a tech blog aggregator PlanetPlug. Why not head on over and see what others in the Phildelphia area Linux User Group have to say.
