Linux is a free and open Source Operating System developed by Linus Torvalds and came into existence in the year 1991, at AT & T’s Bell Laboratories, released under the GPL (General Public License). As any other OS main function of Linux OS is to manage the system resources (Hardware). We can refer it as an interface between the user and the computer system. GNU Linux has received lots of success and popularity in the last 2 decades with most of the commercial servers now using GNU Linux. Recently home users also started using Linux as their day to day OS, and popular Laptop and PC manufactures also giving GNU Linux as a pre-installed OS on their systems as its free and helps in cutting overall cost.  Linus Torvalds was a student at the University of Helsinki, he was using a version of the UNIX operating system called ‘ Minix ‘. When Linus and other users found that some modifications can make the OS even better he and the other users sent requests for modifications and i...

Linux is, in simplest terms, an operating system. It is the software on a computer that enables applications and the computer operator to access the devices on the computer to perform desired functions. The operating system (OS) relays instructions from an application to, for instance, the computer’s processor. The processor performs the instructed task, then sends the results back to the application via the operating system. Explained in these terms, Linux is very similar to other operating systems, such as Windows and OS X. But something sets Linux apart from these operating systems. The Linux operating system represented a $25 billion ecosystem in 2008. Since its inception in 1991, Linux has grown to become a force in computing, powering everything from the New York Stock Exchange to mobile phones to supercomputers to consumer devices. As an open operating system, Linux is developed collaboratively, meaning no one company is solely responsible for its development or on...

Robotics engineers design and create robots and robotic systems... Robotics has been around since the mid 1990s, and in that time various industries have found and exploited its broad set of useful applications. Manufacturing, medical science, energy and scientific research are just some of the growing list of industries that use robotics. Technology analysts expect their application and use to grow rapidly in coming years, and eventually to permeate the domestic market. Those presently working in robotics engineering typically fall into one or more of these 3 skills areas: Computer Aided Drafting & Design:  These engineers design and improve the blueprints for robotic systems, using cutting-edge 3D modeling programs such as AutoCAD, Blender, Inventor and SolidWorks to design plans and schematics. Building:  Robotics engineers also work in the hands-on construction of robots, as well as creating the manufacturing tools and processes that will build the robot...

How to Assign a Static IP Address in Windows and OS X By default, most computers and devices on the network get their IP addresses via DHCP. DHCP is basically a system whereby a host, like a router or server, gives out IP addresses to devices so that they can communicate with the host and with each other over the network. Each device on the network has to have a unique IP address. The IP address for a device may change over time depending on several factors. This usually doesn’t cause any problem, but there are situations where a static IP address is required. For example, if your computer is being used as a media server in your home, you might want the IP address to remain the same if you have to connect to the computer via its IP address. In other instances, you need to change the IP address to match the subnet of another device so that you can connect and configure it. There are two ways to set a static IP address on a device. One way that I’ve already wri...

How to Find Hidden & Saved Passwords in Windows As you go about your day logging into various websites in your browser or accessing protected file shares on the network, Windows stealthy works in the background and may or may not store your credentials in various locations within the operating system. These usernames and passwords may end up in the registry, within credential files, or within the Windows Vault. The credentials are stored in encrypted format, but can easily be decrypted using your Windows password. In this article, I’m going to show several tools you can use to view these hidden passwords on your system. Windows Credential Manager To get started, let’s talk about the built-in tool called Credential Manager that is in Windows. Click on Start and type in credential manager to open the program. You’ll notice there are two categories: Web Credentials and Windows Credentials . The web credentials will have any passwords from sites that you saved ...
