If you are fed up of default windows calculator, it’s time to try something new, something more advanced that can make your daily mathematical calculations a lot easier. We all know that the default windows calculator can only perform few basic functions like add, sub, multiply etc. It has got few limited features and can only be used for day to day simple calculations.

Recently I found one unique application called Command Line Calculator and I was just amazed when I first read about it. As the name suggests, this application does not have user interface, it’s more like a command line utility. But still it’s very powerful application that can perform various functionalities. What is so special about this application is that calculations are entered on command line and as soon as you press enter, result gets displayed. It can save your calculations so that if you need in future you can get it easily.he application can handle both simple and advanced calculations and more than it supports Expression Calculation, Plotting Graphs, Variables, User Defined Functions, Bitwise Calculations etc.

ABT Sportline does a makeover of the Audi A5 Cabrio and calls its little reinvention the AS5.
First off, let’s have a look-see under the hood. Well, ABT POWER provides some tweaking of the electronic engine management system which is offered on four different power plants. The 2.0 TFSI gets a substantial kick upstairs to 275 hp instead of the standard-issue 180 or 211. The 2.7 TDI is taken from 190 hp to a livelier 230. The 3.0 liter TDI diesel also gets an up-tuning to 282 hp from the production version’s 240.
Also available is the ABT POWER S package, which can do a little more to that 3.0 liter diesel engine to take it well past 300 horses to a power output of 310 hp and 610 Nm of dump-truck-like torque.
All models will come with the ABT or ABT Sports braking units in order to have on hand the heftier reigns to safely bring the AS5 Cabrio thoroughbred to a halt. On the exterior we get the usual ABT grill, side skirts, new front and rear skirts with the standard ABT quad-exhaust. Both 19 and 20-inch wheels are available, in the “cool bold BR alloys” style. Also on offer are the more exclusive ABT wheel sets with high-performance tires for maximum road munching traction.

Plans are taken to achieve goals. Goals may be either short or long term. Generally, long term goals can take about more than a year to achieve, while short term goals are reachable in a short span of time may be in a month period. We set goals only when we plan what we want to succeed in doing. It could be as simple as cleaning the house or finishing an assignment or as complex as transforming a developing country into a developed one.

A plan needs to be written. A written plan provides a visible objective to work for. An example of a written plan is a family budget. A budget shows where the family is financially, and their expenses based on their income. The primary ingredients necessary to develop a plan are goals. Plans are generally divided into short-range plans, and long-range plans. Short-range plans are basically day-to-day Incident or event. Long range planning is very important. Everyone has a responsibility to plan well, to have good sound objectives, and to achieve success. There should also be some specific goals developed for the use of surplus funds. We should also be clear about how much should be invested in a particular scheme and how much should be set aside for domestic wants? Future income should not be depended upon. It is also important to be concerned with goodness or badness of human Character or behavior while achieving the goals. It is necessary to monitor that family is not trapped into anything that is unethical, immoral, or dishonest. In addition, there should be a family contingency plan in the event wealth is lost due to unforeseen disaster.

The most talked about feature in Windows 7 is the Aero feature which gives the transparency look to the windows. If you have got a good graphics card, then you must have enjoyed this great feature. But what surprises me a lot is that Microsoft has not changed the look of Command Prompt window. It’s the same old command prompt that has been left untouched since the launch of first windows version.

But now with Glass CMD you can give transparency look to your command prompt window as well. Glass CMD is a small AutoIt Script that works in the background and enables Aero on the background of any new CMD window. The utility is just 365 KB in size and you need to double click the EXE file to give glassy look to your command prompt. To disable this feature, just select exit option from its system tray icon.
