Status-4-Evar

When the satus bar from Firefox 4.0 was removed, Mozila did not find a new home for all the items. Some of them who found new homes may be moved to the place where you might not like. Progress/links/status in the location bar were newly introduced during the development of Firefox 4.0, but unfortunately they were not in the final release.

Status-4-Evar aims to solve these problem by bringing back the missing items like status text, progress bar and download status items, thus providing you with more control over the built-in Firefox features. These toolbar items can be customized. Extension preferences controls the behavior of the tool bar items and other additional settings.

This extension can also act as a replacement for the Fission extension. Apart from the tool bar items, there are preferences to show links, status, and progress in the location bar.

Install Status-4-Evar

Blank Your Monitor + Easy Reading

Blank Your Monitor : A typical web page will have a black text over a white background. In order to invert the usage of white and black colors, BYM provides a simple mechanism to change color. A white pixel uses energy like a black dot on a piece of paper uses the ink of you pen. BYM gives you a white text over a black background. You can save a little amount of energy, if you have a CRT monitor.

Easy Reading : ER provides a simple mechanism to isolate and highlight the text for easy reading. Select the text, right-click, select the “Easy Read” entry in the context menu or press Ctrl-Alt-Z. You will get a new tab filled with the selected text (white text over a black background). ER uses the color combination defined for BYM.

Hi Jishnu,
i found your script extremely useful and i updated it to work with the
latest version, you should submit it to the bf-extensions repository,
so it would be included with the official blender version eventually.
Greets,
Ivo

Since he is not familiar with Git, he told me to update it. Now this add-on will work with current 2.5 beta version. I tested it in the latest SVN checkout and worked for me.

This is the power of Free and Open Source, even if original developer unable to provide new updates, users can be able to modify or update it.

There are still some bugs need to be fixed. I will try to fix those bugs whenever am free. You can download latest version of the add-on from https://github.com/jishnu7/Integrated-Library

Requirements

• Rooted Android Phone
• Busybox
• Any Android terminal application

Open terminal app in phone and type

su

busybox iplink show eth0

This will show the current MAC address of your phone.

busybox iplink set eth0 00:00:00:00:00:00

replace 00:00:00:00:00:00 with your required MAC address.

If you have installed busybox from Titanium Backup program, you can access busybox from following directory.

/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/

/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/busybox iplink show eth0

Above steps are tested and working in Nexus S.

Update : For Samsung Galaxy S2

Use following command (It is same as the command we use in GNU/Linux). Thanks to orestis46

busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:00

First, to split or merge these kind of files, you need to install a package called lxsplit. For that, type

apt-get install lxsplit

Join files

lxsplit -j filename.001

Note: filename.001 should be the name of the first file including extension.

Split a file into pieces

lxsplit -s hugefile 15M

hugefile should be the name of the file with extension and next option should be the size of the each file after splitting. M denotes MB and other split size examples are 5000k, 30000000b.
