			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost anything can be done from the command line. You can listen to music, read email, and install packages. However, some tasks are a little easier to do from a gui, such as printing. However, you eventually come across a situation where you would need to print from the command line. Perhaps you want to make a scheduled printing job of email or social information. Maybe you want to print something off real quick without being forced to open up a word proccessor.</p>
<p>The answer lies in the command line program &#8220;lpr.&#8221; To print off a file, use:</p>
<blockquote><p>lpr file.txt</p></blockquote>
<p>I used these commands to make one page printable tips:</p>
<blockquote><p>cd ~</p>
<p>mkdir tips</p>
<p>cd tips</p>
<p>nano Tip.txt</p>
<p>lpr Tip.txt</p></blockquote>
<p>As long as you have a default printer set, you should be good to go!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are an Ubuntu* user, you might not use your home folder like you should.  For example, all my downloads go straight to my Desktop, instead of my home(~) folder where they belong.  Clutter on your Desktop is quite unsightly, and as one must look at their Desktop constantly, I decided to fix this.</p>
<p><span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p>Here is the solution:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a folder [such as: ~/Desktopcloset] in your home directory.</li>
<li>Make a launcher on your panel [ (Right click)-&gt; Add to Panel -&gt; Custom Application Lanucher.</li>
<li>Name the launcher anything you like.</li>
<li>Make the command this: &#8220;mv ~/Desktop/* ~/Desktopcloset&#8221;</li>
</ol>
<p>Now, whenever your desktop is cluttered, just press the little icon you made and all the files on your desktop will be moved to the folder you created.</p>
<p>Things to try:</p>
<p>Change the location of your &#8220;Desktopcloset,&#8221; perhaps you might want it directly dumped into your home directory:</p>
<blockquote><p>mv ~/Desktop/* <strong>~/</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Or you could make it go to a differently named folder:</p>
<blockquote><p>mv ~/Desktop/* <strong>~/olddesktop</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Have any more ideas for this little code snippet?  Post &#8216;em in the comments.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>* also aplies to any other Gnome Distro</em></p></blockquote>

<p><strong>Click Read More:</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-26"></span></p>
<p>The game is made for <strong>online multiplayer</strong>.  It is played on maps anywhere from extremely small to somewhat large.  You may join a game in the middle of a round.  There are several different <strong>game modes</strong>, such as <em>Team Deathmatch</em>, <em>Capture the Flag</em>, <em>Survivor</em>, and many more.  The game&#8217;s method of communication includes pre-recorded &#8220;radio&#8221; messages, and text based chat.</p>
<p><strong>Game Mechainics:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You can have 1 primary gun at a time.</li>
<li>You can have 1 secondary gun at a time (Sub-machine guns and a Shotgun)</li>
<li>You may change your weapon at anytime, however your changes will take affect only after a respawn.</li>
<li>The game has a unique feature, in that you may jump off walls, and climb onto ledges.</li>
<li>The game is realism based.  If you get shot, you will be wounded in a particular area.  You will begin to bleed from that area of you body.  You can then heal yourself by pressing &#8216;q.&#8217;  If you do not heal yourself the wound will affect gameplay, such as making you limp when you have been hurt in the legs.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How to Install</strong></p>
<p>Go to <a href="http://urbanterror.net"  target="_blank">urbanterror.net</a>, and go to &#8220;Downloads.&#8221;  Choose the Windows Installer verison. The download is quite large, so make sure you choose &#8220;Save,&#8221; instead of &#8220;Open.&#8221; Run the installer.</p>
<p><strong>Choosing a Server</strong></p>
<p>You can choose any server you wish.  However, I have some recomendations.  One is the server &#8220;Eagle Only 4.1.&#8221;  I also have a server, named &#8220;JP&#8217;s Awesome Server.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a virus loose on facebook, and no one seems to know what it is, and how to avoid it.</p>
<p>Click Read More to find out how to survive this outbreak.</p>
<p><span id="more-25"></span></p>
<p>Ok, here is the basics.  This virus is a <em>Social Virus</em>.  You get it from a friend, or so you think you do.</p>
<p><strong>1. The Message</strong></p>
<p>You get a message saying something along the lines of: &#8220;Hey dude, some webcam caught you with your girl friend at your house.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nasty, right?</p>
<p>The virus may not say that exact line, but the basic idea is that it says: &#8220;You got caught on video&#8221;<br />
You go to what appears to be a YouTube link, but is actually a fake video website.</p>
<p><strong>2. The Virus</strong></p>
<p>When you go there, a window pops up telling you you need to update your &#8220;<a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/" >Flash Player</a>&#8221; so, most of you knowing a little bit about the Flash player, and assuming it is legit, you download the file.<br />
When you run the download, it installs a virus on your computer.  This virus may do other stuff besides attack your Facebook account.  It is confirmed that it will send the same message in <em>Step 1</em> to all your friends.</p>
<p><strong>How to Avoid It<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The way to avoid this virus is to <strong>not </strong>click on those links you get in your inbox.  Do not download any &#8220;Flash Update,&#8221; unless it is from a site you trust.  Also, if you get a message sent by this virus by a friend, please reply to it, warning them they have been infected, and so they can tell their friends what happened.</p>
