Battery life on my HP-envy is down right horrible in Linux - Fedora 16 by default results in only about two hours of operation before it shuts down (and is about 60c) when compared to the almost 5 hours of running time in Windows 7. Here are some tweaks to improve it to 5+ hrs with minor use and minimal wifi:
Prerequisite packages:
Install the following:
sudo yum install pm-utils tuned
sudo chkconfig tuned on
Install Jupiter and get it configured

The other day I was playing around and required a quick and dirty C program which could be used for arrays or bucketing - it divides a value by a specified number and creates groups or teams.
Here it is in both a for loop and a while loop.
#include /

If you have ever wanted to have colored printf statements for easier debugging - look no further
printf("%c[%d;%dmColor Me!%c[%dm\n",27,1,33,27,0);
Starting with the parameter - 27, this initiates the coloring. The rest of the parameters are (attribute);(fore color);(background color).
Text attributes
0 All attributes off
1 Bold on
4 Underscore (on monochrome display adapter only)
5 Blink on
7 Reverse video on
8 Concealed on
