Ran into an issue in one project where I was getting an error like below: ‘/PROGRAM_NAME’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Ever encountered an error like this one where Eclipse will not proceed to start until you choose or create another workspace?

Even if the Ubuntu Edge campaign is far from its $32 million goal, it already has broken a few crowdfunding records since the first week that…
Today, I was trying to print something at work and found out that our old Brother MFC 8840D printer was now replaced with a Fuji-Xerox DocuCentre-II C3300. The printer comes up in the network and is successfully identified (full printer name), but the driver is not listed anywhere. At least I didn’t find one that…
