Free greatest software for linux

Forecastfox is a Firefox extension to get international weather forecasts from AccuWeather.com, and display it in any toolbar or statusbar with this highly customizable and unobtrusive extension.

Why the switch from Weather.com to AccuWeather.com?

Several factors contributed to us switching our data provider from Weather.com to Accuweather.com. The "Terms of Use" for the feed from Weather.com, was very restrictive. It kept us from implementing some of the things we hope to implement. They had also warned us that they were changing the feed and that we were in breach of the license (25,000 users max on the public XOAP weather.com feed). They offered another feed we could use, which would have limited the amount of data we received. At the same time several companies were contacting us about using their data. Accuweather.com was the most responsive, and provided us with greatest flexibilty and room to grow.

Please note that version 0.7.5 and higher "pings" our server when it is installed or uninstalled. No information is sent other than what version is being installed or uninstalled, and on what program (Mozilla vs Firefox). We simply increment a value in a database everytime it gets pinged so that we can have a rough estimate of the number of Forecastfox users. You can see the statistic page that we use at http://forecastfox.ensolis.com/logs/status.php. By knowing how many users we have and how many users upgrade, we will have a better idea of what we need to work on. For example, we will know if we should spend time supporting Mozilla and Netscape, and if we need to support migrating/upgrading from early versions. Thank you for understanding.

Math::Cephes is a Perl interface to the cephes math library.

SYNOPSIS

use Math::Cephes qw(:all);

This module provides an interface to over 150 functions of the
cephes math library of Stephen Moshier. No functions are exported
by default, but rather must be imported explicitly, as in

use Math::Cephes qw(sin cos);

There are a number of export tags defined which allow
importing groups of functions:
use Math::Cephes qw(:constants);
imports the variables

Help desk software is vital to the success of your help desk and customer support staff. Tracking and responding to help desk calls is faster and more efficient when using well designed help desk software.
The design of this software comes from many years of help desk experience working in a help desk environment. All the basic tools for running a successful help desk are included in this help desk software package.
Help desk software should be used in any organization whether its a large corporation or a small startup company. Why should my company implement a helpdesk software solution? Some of the benefits of helpdesk software are improved customer service, faster response times and lower information technology costs. Lets outline these three areas in greater detail.
When a user contacts the computer support professional in your organization, what steps are taken? Does it depend on who answered the phone? Do the immediately drop any task and visit your desk? Do they jot your information down on a note pad? Do they attempt to resolve the issue on the phone at great length? What criteria merits the call be moved to another member of the IT staff, or merits a call the software vendor?
All these questions can be answered in some way within the use of help desk software. Helpdesk software forces your IT staff to handle help desk calls in a structured manner that can be counted on each time. When a helpdesk call is received, it should be immediately be entered into the help desk software database, even if it is easily answered.
At this point there is now a record of the call, and this allows other IT staff to view the contents of the problem and makes it a simple task for other IT staff members to offer solutions. This also prevents the call from being lost in the shuffle if staff is busy when the call is received. Your general staff will have much more confidence that when they place that call to your help desk staff, their call will be handled in a structured method to ensure their satisfaction.
If they can continue to work, they will not feel the need to keep calling or checking with IT staff on the progress, or worry that their call will not be answered in a reasonable amount of time. This allows them to focus on their tasks, and not be concerned with the status of their call.
Many help desk software solutions offer a self-help method, allowing the staff members in your company to submit a helpdesk request directly into the help desk system. (granted their computer is functioning enough for this) This feature greatly streamlines the process, and can increase response time for all users. Help desk support staff will not be interrupted by the phone call and have to stop working on another issue to record the call information.
In fact, it should be encouraged by the IT staff to submit all request possible with this method. When a request is entered into the system, it allows any available support personnel to respond to the request. It also allows support personnel to diversify calls, so if a calls is shown to be about a particular problem that a staff member has greater expertise with, that staff member will likely be able to solve the problem much quicker. Once each calls is resolved, the solution will then become available for future reference.
This is one of the greatest benefits an organization will receive from using a help desk system. This allows newer support staff to be able to answer many questions by simply searching the database for other calls. Also prevent 2 support staff from having to research for the same solution, this benefits in much faster response time for the end user.
Everything mentioned above will contribute to the overall quality of service in your organization, happier staff and faster response time will mean lower costs and higher productivity for your organization.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a bug found in the main form that caused some performance problems in certain system configurations.

Games::WoW::PVP is a Perl module with the great new Games::WoW::PVP!

SYNOPSIS

Quick summary of what the module does.

Perhaps a little code snippet.

my $WoW = Games::WoW::PVP->new();
# looking for a character
my %hash = $WoW->search_player(
{ country => EU, # EU europe US us
realm => conseil des ombres, # name of the realm
faction => h, # h horde a ally
character => raspa, # name of the player
}
);

# looking for top players

{ country => EUR,
realm => elune,
faction => a,
}
);

Foresight Linux OS is a Distribution which showcases some of the latest and greatest from GNOME. Some of the things that may not be mature enough for some of the other distros.
Some of the more innovative things are included, like beagle, f-spot, howl, and the latest hal. All of this plus some nice, clean default themes and artwork.
Foresight Linux is built using the conary package management system. Conary is a way of managing software using a loosely knit group of network repositories. There are tools included to make it very simple to install and update packages.
There are four basic operations involved in package management; querying, installing, upgrading, removing.
Main features:
- Beagle :: Search tool that ransacks your personal information space to find whatever youre looking for.
- f-spot :: Personal photo management.
- Howl :: Cross-platform implementation of Zeroconf networking
- Hal :: Hardware abstraction layer that makes hardware just work.
- Conary :: A new way of looking at package management.
- Oversite :: Web based systems management.
- GNOME-Office :: Suite of Productivity Applications
- Mono :: .NET implementation for Linux
Querying
There are two type of searches you can do, local and remote. A local search queries localling installed software. A remote search queries network repositories for available software. Here are some examples:
To see what version of firefox you have installed, you run the conary command with the "q" argument as well as the package name "firefox"
foresight$ conary q firefox
firefox 1.0-2-1
This shows that firefox 1.0 build 3 is installed.
To see what versions of firefox are available, you run the conary command with the "rq" argument as well as the package name "firefox"
foresight$ conary rq firefox
firefox 1.0-3-1
This shows that firefox 1.0 build 3 is available. In this example, there is a newer version, so it can be upgraded
Installing/Upgrading
Installing and upgrading is basically the same operation, conary with the argument "update". To upgrade or install firefox:
foresight$ conary update firefox
foresight$
Note: There will be no feedback on success, so if you just get returned to a prompt without an error it was successful. Some of these operations could take a while, so be assured if you dont see an error that things are working. Remember, these packages are being downloaded over the internet prior to installation.
Removing
To remove a package, conary with the argument "erase". To remove firefox:
foresight$ conary erase firefox
foresight$
Note: As with update, there will be no feedback on success.
For more information of how conary works, see the Conary Wiki. This is more of a developer reference, but has lots of good information.
Checking for out of date packages
There is a handy utility called "yuck" which compares your versions of packages to those available from the repository." Yuck can also update those packages (requires root), the default behavior is to simply display.
foresight$ yuck
This will display a list of available updates.
foresight# yuck --update --except kernel
This will update everything that is out of date with the exception of the kernel. You can specifiy a comma separated list of exceptions (no spaces). I would recommend always excluding the kernel and update that individually with "conary update --keep-existing kernel".
This will also make it install a new kernel and leave the old one... so you system is still bootable if things arent right. From time to time you can remove the unused kernel with "conary erase kernel=[version]".

Password Creator is a great tool to generate passwords with criteria like uppercase letters, numbers or even specified characters.
It has virtually no limitation on the pasword length and the password quantity or the characters to use.
Enhancements:
- Fixed the excellent rating bug when one character length.
- Fixed pronoucable passwords to not start with two vowels.
