Case Study: Repair Mac filesystem | Ubuntu Rescue Remix
A hard disk from a Macintosh computer failed resulting in a white screen at boot time. The owners were told that the drive was damaged and it was replaced. The faulty drive was imaged, the hfsplus boot block was repaired using the alternate boot block and the filesystem was repaired, allowing for the recovery of all of the owners personal data.

Crystallization of homemade sodium acetate
If you've ever wanted to play around with sodium acetate, but you're too much of a nerd to simply go online and buy some from a chemical supply house - noooo, that'd be too easy, you want to make it, from scratch - then this instructable is for you.

Inside, I show the whole process, from baking soda and vinegar, through concentration and filtering, to final crystallization.

Crafting Subtle & Realistic User Interfaces — Flyosity: Mac & iPhone Interface Design
The underlying secret to beautiful user interface design is realism: making 2D objects on your screen appear to sit in 3D space with volume, surface properties and undulations that might appear in real life. These faux 3D objects have highlights and shadows just like objects on your desk might have, and they have textures that emulate real objects from glass to sandpaper and everything in between. Designing beautiful user interfaces has more to do with the why than the how.

The R programming language for programmers coming from other programming languages
I have written software professionally in perhaps a dozen programming languages, and the hardest language for me to learn has been R. The language is actually fairly simple, but it is unconventional. These notes are intended to make the language easier to learn for someone used to more commonly used languages such as C++, Java, Perl, etc.

A Guide to Alternative Handwriting and Shorthand Systems
The letters you are now reading, while well adapted to the eye to be read, are so ill adapted to the hand to be written that schools teach longhand as an alternative to printing them. The more cursive longhand is easy to learn, but only about 10% faster than printing. Alternative handwriting systems offer 100% or better improvements in handwriting ease and speed. If you could spend the rest of your life taking notes or keeping a journal/diary while writing two or three times faster, then, gee, why not?

Advice on designing scientific posters
A scientific poster is a large document that can communicate your research at a scientific meeting, and is composed of a short title, an introduction to your burning question, an overview of your trendy experimental approach, your amazing results, some insightful discussion of aforementioned results, a listing of previously published articles that are important to your research, and some brief acknowledgement of the tremendous assistance and financial support conned from others—if all text is kept to a minimum, a person could fully read your poster in under 10 minutes.

Lifehacker - Know What Salary to Ask For in Your New Job - Job search
Questions about salary requirements are one of the very few questions guaranteed to come up during a job interview or screening process, as well as almost always cause some severe awkwardness on both sides. Once you've found a great job, how do you demand what you're worth without sounding arrogant?

The web's chock-full of tools to help you gauge a reasonable asking rate, and we've received some pretty sound advice over the years on how to pull off the salary tightrope walk. Follow along for a guide to finding and asking after just the right pay rate.

PS3Cluster Guide: By The Cluster Workshop
Our community guide allows you to set up your own MPI (Message Passing Interface) based supercomputer cluster with the Playstation 3. This guide was co-written by Gaurav Khanna, based on his previous work on the Gravity Grid and is a current run-time environment for the research of co-author (Chris Poulin), based on his current work in distributed pattern recognition. As such, we currently utilize the Fedora Core for this infrastructure and illustrate a "how-to" below. NOTE: We focus on the Fedora 8 distribution, due to prevalence of Fedora and its Cell SDK (3.0) compatibility. Finally, this content should be considered open source, and here is the license.

C++ Notes: Table of Contents
Some of these supplemental notes are good, others only rough drafts or half-completed. Because they are designed only to provide additional examples, summaries, or explanations where the textbook is weak, they do not cover many obviously important topics. You can download a zipped version: notes-cpp-2004-12-19.zip [less than 400 KB]. -- Fred
