A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

Plunge in the depth of scientific aspects of the creation of our universe

A Brief History of Time is a popular science book written by renown physicist Stephen Hawking and first published by the Bantam Dell Publishing Group in 1988. It became a best-seller and has sold more than 10 million copies. It was also on the London Sunday Times best-seller list for more than four years.

A Brief History of Time attempts to explain a range of subjects in cosmology, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones, to the non-specialist reader. Its main goal is to give an overview of the subject but, unusual for a popular science book, it also attempts to explain some complex mathematics.

This book explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin—and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending—or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends?

Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and “arrows of time,” of the big bang and a bigger God—where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.

The book ends with: "If we find [a unified theory], it would be the ultimate triumph — for then we would know the mind of God."

Folder Marker Home 3.1.0.0

Lets you change folder icon (mark folder) with color-coded and image-coded icon

Folder Marker Home is a powerful helper utility especially designed for home work. It enables you to quickly change folder color or mark folders to indicate priority (high, normal, low), level of project completeness (done, half-done, planned) by work status (approved, rejected, pending) and type of information stored in folder (work, important, temp and private files).

The icons in Folder Marker are self-explanatory and include many colors, dark and light colors, many categories, and they carry letters and numbers. Of course, the default set of icons can be expanded with the unlimited number of new icons that you have downloaded from the internet, or created in the icon editor yourself.

How to change folder icons in the Folder Marker's way? Select an icon from the right-click menu of a folder. That's it! Only one step to change a folder icon! Isn't that cool or what? Using Folder Marker Home couldn't be simpler.

The application's designers wanted to make the ability to change a folder icon or a folder color as painless as possible and they've done an outstanding job. Folder Marker is #1 folder color and icon changer in Internet!

Users can take advantage of great customization flexibility. You can, for example, modify a right-click menu of a folder by adding new menu items and categories and assigning icons to them.

The user can select to make folders, customized with Folder Marker Home, distributable. This means a color-coded icon remains unchanged even if the folder is copied onto a new computer or the system has been re-installed. Also, you can apply a selected icon for all subfolders in a given folder.

Folder Marker Home is a cute little desktop enhancement tool that's worth its virtual weight in the agony and frustration it may save you from when you find it difficult to find the folder you need. Many people use the program to change folder icons just because Folder Marker Home made it fun.

Use Wikipedia OFFLINE!!!

Wikipedia is a great encyclopedia and many of you use it every day. But what if you don’t have internet access, it is possible to use Wikipedia offline without internet connection? Yes, it is. Here’s how.

How To Download Wikipedia For Offline Use:

Important: There are many files on the “dump” sites, the file that you need is pages-articles.xml.bz

First, grab a copy of WikiTaxi (link given below), then head over to dumps.wikimedia.org and you can download the very simple wiki, which is a great choice if you are new to Wikitaxi, because it’s so small (less than 100MB). The full Wikipedia download can be more than 100GB of data.

Downloading the actual files for offline use is not so complicated. There are many downloads available: Wikipedia is also available as localized versions for different countries. So, what you want to do now to use Wikipedia offline is to go to “simplewiki” (full links below) click on the latest version (by date!) and download the file pages-articles.xml.bz2.

• http://dumps.wikimedia.org/simplewiki/

Importing Pages-Articles.xml.bz2:

Again: Download pages-articles.xml.bz2

1. Download pages-articles.xml.bz2 file if it’s done – simplewiki file is 61MB large (bz2).
2. Extract the simplewiki-xxx-articles.xml.bz2 file
3. Open WikiTaxi_Importer.exe in WikiTaxi_1.3.0 (included in download).
4. Click on Browse and locate the XML dump file that you downloaded from simplewiki, keep in mind it has to be the articles.xml.bz2 file!
5. Enter a path to the database file that we will create. You have to enter this MANUALLY, do NOT click on browse. Simply enter something like C:/Wikidatabase/simplewiki.taxi.
6. Select how much RAM you want to use to import the database. I used 524MB, but you can use more. It will only use that RAM to create the Wikipedia database for offline use.
7. Open WikiTaxi.exe (it’s in the same folder as WikiTaxi_Importer.exe, wherever you downloaded the program to
8. Click on Options, then on Open *.taxi Database …
9. Locate the database that we created in step 5. e.g. simplewiki.taxi
10. Done!
11. You can now search for whatever you want and use Wikipedia OFFLINE! Let’s do a search for Windows 7:

NOTE: Since, wikipedia is regularly updated. So, if you too want to be updated, download the latest ‘dump’ file.

Process Explorer

The Process Explorer application was developed to be an advanced process management utility that picks up where Task Manager leaves off. It will show you detailed information about a process including its icon, command-line, full image path, memory statistics, user account, security attributes, and more.

When you zoom in on a particular process you can list the DLLs it has loaded or the operating system resource handles it has open. A search capability enables you to track down a process that has a resource opened, such as a file, directory or Registry key, or to view the list of processes that have a DLL loaded.

The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window, which you can close, depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you will see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you will see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded.

Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded. The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work.

Features:

• Support for full handle viewing on Win9x/Me (with the exception of Registry key handles)
• Process icons
• Service process highlighting
• Process tree display
• Configurable refresh rate
• Refresh highlighting: new entries in the process, handle and DLL views are green, and deleted ones red
• Listview tooltips
• DLL descriptions in the DLL view
• Highlights relocated DLLs
• Jump-to-entry in the find dialog
• Efficient refresh
• Lists all process owners, even on Terminal Server systems
