If you happened to download a compiled Java file (.class extension) and decided to view the source code to see what’s going on, viewing with text editor won’t do any good. It’ll end up with output like these:
In order to view the source code, we need to decompile it. JAD is a good example. Just download the .zip file, extract and run. For Ubuntu users, it is recommended to download the statically linked version to avoid any errors upon execution. Extract the files in a directory, open terminal, change directory to the directory you extracted it, and type something like this:
$ ./jad filename.class
Then list the files in the directory using ls command, and you’ll noticed there’s a new file, filename.jad. Open it with any text editor.
$ gedit filename.jad
Now, you can view the source codes.
Ok, so one day you wake up, drink a few sips of your favourite coffee to start your day, turn on your computer and…. OMGWTF!!! You can’t boot into your Windows!!

Repairing Windows is a good idea, but what if it’s caused by virus infection?

lm-sensors is a hardware monitoring application for linux. It basically monitors voltages (VCore, +12V, +3.3V, etc.), motherboard/CPU temperatures and also fan speed. It’s the same application which i use to monitor my P4 temperature in my previous post. This is a simple tutorial on how to install lm-sensors without any configurations.
First, install lm-sensors from apt-get or Synaptic
$sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
Then, run sensors-detect and answer Yes to all questions
$sudo sensors-detect
Reboot
$sudo reboot now
Next we need to install X Sensors. Go to Applications -> Add/Remove Applications. Type sensors in the search bar and you should see X Sensors
in the list. Tick the checkbox and click Apply Changes and wait until the installation finishes.
X Sensors will be listed in Applications -> System Tools.
