Use the covers of your music as icons

Cover Thumbnailer is a Python script that shows the covers of your music CDs as icons of your music folders . also offers a preview of attractive folder in the folders of images. Perfect to quickly find our pictures or select your favorite music. The

script assigns the icons in Nautilus thumbnail automatically like any other GNOME, you need not run any script to create thumbnails. Cover

Thumbnailer is free software licensed under GPLv3 or higher and is available in over 15 languages. Thumbnails for folders

Music:



For folders of pictures:


We will install on Ubuntu:
1. From terminal: sudo apt-add-ppa repository: flozz / flozz
2. Update and install: sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get install cover-thumbnailer
Once installed, from System -> Preferences -> Cover Thumbnailer can set which folders to display thumbnails.

For everything to work to restart Nautilus by typing in terminal: nautilus-q

What is cool?

The elusive antimatter sought to exhaustion is very nearby, the two puzzles simultaneously, creating antimatter on the one hand and the origin of terrestrial gamma rays on the other, access to this knowledge itself deserves a toast.

Fermi telescope is designed to monitor rays gamma, which are the most energetic form of light. When antimatter hitting the telescope collides with a particle of normal matter, both particles are immediately destroyed and converted into gamma rays. The GBM has detected gamma ray energy of 511,000 electron volts, which indicates that an electron has found its antimatter counterpart, a positron.

"In orbit for less than 3 years, the Fermi mission has proven to be an incredible tool to explore the universe. Now we learned that you can also discover mysteries much closer to us," said Ilana Harrus, who is program scientist Fermi at the base of operations NASA, in Washington.

In most of the observed TFR, the spacecraft was directly above a thunderstorm. However, in four cases, the storms were far away from the Fermi. In addition, the radio signals produced by lightning, which were detected by a global monitoring network indicate that lightning was hundreds of miles away or more the time of the detection. TGF occurred during a December 14, 2009, Fermi was located on Egypt, but the active thunderstorm was in Zambia, about 4,500 kilometers (2,800 miles) south. Distant storm was below the Fermi horizon, so it was not possible to detect gamma rays produced by it.

"Although Fermi could not see the storm, the spacecraft was magnetically connected to it," said Joseph Dwyer, who works at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Florida. "The electrons and positrons produced TGF high speed, which traveled over the Earth's magnetic field to collide with the spacecraft."

The beam continued to travel beyond the Fermi telescope to get to a place known as a mirror where the movement took a step back and hit back to Fermi, a mere 23 milliseconds later. On each occasion, the beam collided positrons with electrons in the spacecraft. The particles annihilate each other, thus emitting gamma rays detected by the GBM located on board the Fermi. http://ciencia.nasa.gov/ciencias-especiales/11jan_antimatter/

Metro hot!

astronomers a group called Super Wide Angle Search for Planets (search for planets using super wide angle) found, looking through telescopes in the infrared, a gaseous planet is even hotter than some stars : 3200 ° C, and has about 4.5 times the mass of Jupiter.

I have dubbed WASP-33b, and orbits its star once every 29.5 hours, ie, an orbit extremely close! And if the planet is hot, its parent star is one of the hottest known to harbor planets. That blissful star is burning its fuel before our eyes, burning 7160 ° C, or much more than our sun, whose surface temperature is "only" 5600 ° C.

Experts are my interest in this planet because they want to know if their external atmospheric layers are hotter than the interior or vice versa. One would expect, given the proximity to the sun, the exterior of WASP-33b was hotter than inside, but cases have been opposed.

Within the arteries and the heart of the Internet

The Internet is not made of air. Although surround and saturate as the ether, we can feel, map and photograph because it has veins, nerves, and even a beating heart. Unlike what many imagine, 90% of our emails, videos in YouTube, Amazon and communications transactions state, military and financial NO comes from beyond through a satellite. All that traffic flows at the speed of light between optical fibers, thick strands of hair wrapped in seven layers of protective materials such as snakes crawl underwater to all continents except Antarctica .

Without the water of the oceans, the seabed would be lined with more than a million miles of black wires the size of fire hoses, the arteries of the Internet. You cut some of those cables, and the Internet will go out in Valencia and Palm Beach.

The journey of an e-mail between Europe and America takes 0.0030 of a second. Follow it in slow motion shows the anatomy, challenges, high technology and considerable physical vulnerability of the global computer network that governs our existence. The transatlantic journey begins One morning in Madrid, in the journal VERY INTERESTING, when a publisher sends, to my office in Miami Beach, a short text of 50 bits: Do we have the photos for this story?

for this 4 page article that he published in the January issue of the print edition of VERY INTERESTING, I had exclusive access to the NAP of the Americas Terremark the place where emerging transatlantic submarine cables carry the most traffic between southern Europe and the Americas, and all traffic between the U.S. and Latin America. A strange, beautiful, modern building with no windows with antennas that look like golf balls, in downtown Miami that distributes traffic to the rest of the USA, from their Facebook messages, even those of the White House and State Department. A true Fortaleza Digital.

The note in the journal illustrates the hazardous journey of a few bytes of information between Madrid and Miami Beach, and all the dangers they face, hungry sharks being just one of them. Think about it the next time your message will take a few seconds more.
