How the USA Killed my Movie Nights

Since the FBI announced that megaupload had been closed due to the illegal content they were providing to their users, I have seen a lots of complains, articles speaking about alternatives, and anonymous attacks against multiple websites such as Justin Bieber, but what is the impact on my life ?
Since 2005 i was used to exchange files and download (legal) files via megaupload, and now I will have to use another way to exchange my files. I used megaupload at least 4 to5 times a day, but hopefully as an IT Security Student I never trusted megaupload and never upload personal, or private content. But I can imagine that some people did and they lost almost everything (if it was their only backup) which I think it’s funny (but only because I’m evil).
But with the closing of megaupload, and the deletion of all the illagal content on all the other websites (videobb) I’m pretty sure that many people will have much more time to spend on fancy cool stuff they never did anymore since 2005.
- Discovering the television again
- Reading Books
- Programming a new megaWhatEverWebsite
- Join the Anonymous to help with the #OpMegaupload
- Learn to hack to become Hacktivists
- Wait 2 years before the next episode of chuck arrives in the UK
and many other fancy things.
I will probably continue to live my life until I find a descent replacement to megaupload to download (legal …) content and to store the files that I have to exchange with my friends.
So basically the world will continue to turn (until December as the mayas said) but we will have to change our « download » habits.
Creation of a Glossary in LaTeX
0As I was Finishing my MSc thesis today I wanted to create a glossary with LaTex, but it was very difficult to find a tutorial or even basic steps to create one, without having to change something, so I decided to create a small « tutorial » on how to create a glossary with LaTeX.
The first step is to include the package :
\usepackage[nonumberlist]{glossaries}
As you may see, I also added the option [nonumberlist]. When this option is not enabled the glossary contains a list of page numbers where the entry was used.
The second step is to use the package :
\usepackage{acronym}
This package will allow you the use of acronyms. Now that the right packages were included, you can insert the following command in the body :
\makeglossaries
You may now create the acronyms and entries that you want in your glossary. These entries have to follow this layout :
\newacronym{gui}{GUI}{Graphical User Interface}
\newacronym{sdk}{SDK}{Software Development Kit}
Finally you can put the following commands where the glossary should be printed
\glsaddall
\printglossaries
The first command list all the entries in the glossary, while the second prints the glossary out. In your text you may now use it such as following :
This is the \gls{gui} of my application. This \gls{gui} will display all the information[...].
and this should appear :
This is the Graphical User Interface (GUI). This GUI will display all the information[...].
Compile your LaTeX document a first time and then open a shell an type the following command:
makeindex Master_Thesis.glo -s Master_Thesis.ist -t Master_Thesis.glg -o Master_Thesis.gls
Compile your document with LaTeX a second time, and your glossary should appear right there.
and that’s it !
Below is a basic example of a LaTeX file with glossary :
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[nonumberlist]{glossaries}
\usepackage{acronym}
\begin{document}
\title{}
\date{}
\maketitle
%Glossary
\makeglossaries
\newacronym{pdf}{PDF}{Portable Document Format }
%Abstract
\begin{abstract}
\end{abstract}
%Acknowledgments
\chapter*{Acknowledgements}
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\glsaddall
\printglossaries
\end{document}
Have Fun with LaTeX.
