http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11302639/delete-forked-repo-from-github

By far the easiest way is to log in gitHub account:
  1. Click to your repository {for example yourUsername/yourRepository for example igort/vuk}
  2. Then in the main toolbar of github click on Settings
  3. Scroll just a little bit down and you will find Delete this repository button
  4. When you click it another pop up will appear here you need to type in the name of your repository and click on the button below which says: I understand the consequences, delete the repository

setting evince as default pdf viewer

setting default viewer for an application:

for example, you want to set "evince" as the default pdf viewer for any pdf document.

go to properties -> open-with -> select the program (evince in our case) -> set as default.

thats it, any time you open any pdf it will open using evince application :)


I think this should be applicable for all Linux distros, but I use fedora by default ;)

Canon IP2870 – Reset Ink Levels on the Cartridges

The Canon IP2870 cannot physically see inside the cartridges to find out how much ink is left. The copper contacts on the outside of the cartridge contain the ink level information. It is not possible to reset the ink levels to full. If you refill your cartridge, the printer will always show an empty cartridge message.

You can override the empty cartridge message by holding down the “stop / reset” button on the printer for around five seconds. The printer should continue printing, and use any of the remaining ink in the cartridge.

If the printer thinks that both cartridges are empty, you will receive a second error message, and you will need to hold the button for another five seconds.

If the circuitry on the cartridges is actually damaged this process will not work.
