John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh

John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh OM PRS (/ˈreɪli/; 12 November 1842 – 30 June 1919) was a physicist who, with William Ramsay, discovered argon, an achievement for which he earned the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1904. He also discovered the phenomenon now called Rayleigh scattering, which can be used to explain why the sky is blue, and predicted the existence of the surface waves now known as Rayleigh waves. Rayleigh’s textbook, The Theory of Sound, is still referred to by acoustic engineers today.

Galileo Ferraris (31 October 1847 – 7 February 1897) was an Italian physicist and electrical engineer, one of the pioneers of AC power system and the inventor of induction motor.[1][2][3][4] Many newspapers published that Ferraris’s work on the induction motor and power transmission systems was one of the greatest inventions of any age. He published an extensive and complete monograph on the experimental results obtained with open-circuit transformers of the type designed by the power engineers Lucien Gaula

Richard Stallman

Jovan Stosic February 23, 2017

Richard Matthew Stallman (born March 16, 1953), often known by his initials, rms,[1] is an American software freedom activist and programmer. He campaigns for software to be distributed in a manner such that its users receive the freedoms to use, study, distribute and modify that software. Software that ensures these freedoms is termed free software. Stallman launched the GNU Project, founded the Free Software Foundation, developed the GNU Compiler Collection and GNU Emacs, and wrote the GNU General Public License.

Stallman launched the GNU Project in September 1983 to create a Unix-like computer operating system composed entirely of free software.[2]With this, he also launched the free software movement. He has been the GNU project’s lead architect and organizer, and developed a number of pieces of widely used GNU software including, among others, the GNU Compiler Collection,[3] the GNU Debugger[4] and the GNU Emacs text editor.[5] In October 1985[6] he founded the Free Software Foundation.

Stallman pioneered the concept of copyleft, which uses the principles of copyright law to preserve the right to use, modify and distribute free software, and is the main author of free software licenses which describe those terms, most notably the GNU General Public License (GPL), the most widely used free software license.[7]

In 1989 he co-founded the League for Programming Freedom. Since the mid-1990s, Stallman has spent most of his time advocating for free software, as well as campaigning against software patents, digital rights management, and other legal and technical systems which he sees as taking away users’ freedoms. This has included software license agreements, non-disclosure agreements, activation keys, dongles, copy restriction, proprietary formats and binary executables without source code.

As of 2016, he has received fifteen honorary doctorates and professorships (see Honors and awards).

I’m thinking of buying a WD HD TV Live player and I want to check a feature if available I will go for the purchase. I have a 1 TB Hard disk and I want to access my hard drive through my home network while connected to the WD player through USB. In other words I will connect the WD player to my Router through Ethernet, Can I access my hard drive while it’s connected to the WD player?

How could I shutdown a remote host, in my network thru ssh, with a local host? – Ask Ubuntu

Jovan Stosic February 23, 2017

The question is simple.
What would be the script I would have to use to shut down a computer in my network thru ssh.

Normaly i would go to command line and:

ssh desktop

delik@desktop's password: 

delik@desktop:~$ sudo shutdown -P 0

To power on I created a file and wrote:

wakeonlan xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

And gave it the executable bit

That way to power on it requires only a double click. Would i be capable of doing the same to shutdown?
