How to Copy Text From a Protected Web Sites & Web Pages

     Sometimes websites have a security feature in place that protects the text of the website to prevent users from stealing site content. But websites aren't around forever and sometimes users may want to download the site content as referenced material for future use, in case the site goes down. The text may also be needed if the material in question is being used as a direct quote and is properly cited and sourced. The method to copy protected text described here has the highest rate of success, but there are other ways to copy content from protected web pages. There are Two Methods given below

Method 1:

To overcome this restriction, follow below steps:

  1. Go to the website which restricts you from selecting and copying.
  2. Copy below javascript and paste it at the address bar and hit enter key.
javascript:void(document.onselectstart=null)




3) Now you can select and copy the text from this website using conventional way – highlight the text followed by CTRL C to copy, then paste it into notepad or word document.

Method 2:

Using Firefox : 


1. Like Opera, Firefox allows you to configure JavaScript on any web. If you want to turn if off, just hit the Tools menu on the top bar and click Option.

How To Mount iPhone Or iPad With iOS 7 In Ubuntu 13.10/Linux Mint 16

How To Mount iPhone Or iPad With iOS 7 In Ubuntu 13.10/Linux Mint 16:

     I got an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 couple of months back. I tried to connect iPhone or iPad with Linux (Ubuntu and Linux Mint), it was recognized and it asked me whether I “trust this computer”?

     And I said “I do” and tapped on Trust. After a flash of seconds it asked me again if I “trust this computer”? And I tapped Trust again. And then it asked the same question, I felt like it got trapped in a while(true) loop. While at Ubuntu, it showed me that my iPhone was locked and I could not access any files on it:


     After some searching I came to know that this infinite loop of trust this computer with iOS 7 in Linux is a known bug.

     This actually is a new security feature in iOS 7 which aims to tackle the issue of fake iPhone chargers. So, what is the solution here? Is there a way to fix “trust this computer” with iOS 7 in Linux? libimobiledevice library is is expected to fix this issue in version 1.1.6 but there is no expected availability date for the stable version.

     Don’t be disheartened, you can still use the unstable version of libimobiledevice and connect your iPhone to Ubuntu easily. Let me show you how can you mount iPhone in Ubuntu 13.10 or Linux Mint 16 without getting in the pitfall of “trust this computer”.

Fix trust this computer issue with iOS 7 in Ubuntu 12.04:

     If you are using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS be it 32 bit or 64 bit or Linux Mint 13 Maya, you can add the following PPA by Ingo Haschler:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ingo/ios7support
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

     This will upgrade the libimobiledevice (already installed on the system) to unstable version 1.6. Reboot your computer and try to connect iPhone with Ubuntu again. It should work now.

Note:

    If you get “lock down error”, try using the following commands:

sudo mkdir /var/lib/lockdown
sudo chmod 777 /var/lib/lockdown

Fix trust this computer issue with iOS 7 in Ubuntu 13.10:

     For seasoned Linux users, you can get the source code from the GitHub and compile it. For Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit and Linux Mint 16 64 bit users, there is a Debian package compiled for you by Iuri Diniz. You can download and install this .deb package to easily mount iPhone on Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit.


     Double click on the downloaded .deb file to install it. Note that Ubuntu and Linux Mint comes with libimobiledevice library pre-installed in it. This is why you would see an option of upgrading the libimobiledevice rather than installing it.


     Once installed, your iPhone or iPad should be mounted without any troubles. Here is a screenshot of my iPhone mounted in Ubuntu 13.10.


     I could access the files, transfer the files from Ubuntu to iPhone. It was recognized by Rythembox for synchronizing also. It is not the first time I had issues with connecting my mobile device with Ubuntu.

     I hope this quick tutorial solves the infinite loop of ‘trust this computer’ problem with iPhone and Ubuntu for you as well. In related problems, sometimes, Apple device don’t charge or charge slowly via USB, you can try iPad Charge to fix charging issues with Apple devices in Linux.

Burn .bin file Without A .cue file

To Burn A Bin File, You Will Need An Appropriate Cue File.



     You do exactly the same as for iso files, but when you click on “burn image,” you don’t browse to the bin itself, but instead to the cue file, and you open that one.

     When the writer starts to burn, it will automatically search for the bin file and start burning it. In fact, the cue file tells the burning program where it can find the bin file that is attached to it. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you use the right cue file when you burn a bin. 

i.e : Both cue and bin files that are attached to each other must be located in the same folder, and every bin file has it’s own cue file.

     Normally, when you download a bin file, you can download the appropriate cue file as well. If you do not have the cue file (or feel bold) you can make the cue file yourself, which is really easy to do:

a. Open notepad

b. Copy the folowing text into notepad:

FILE“nameofimage“BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Where nameofimage.bin is the name of the bin file you want to burn.

c. The rest is easy: just save the notepad text with the name of the bin, but with the cue extension.

d. The file should be saved in the same folder as its appropriate bin file and should be something like myfile.cue

Or you can use Alcohol 120% to burn directly from the bin file

2. Click the Screen Saver tab.

3. In the Screen saver list, click My Pictures Slideshow.

4. Click Settings to make any adjustments, such as how often the pictures should change, what size they should be, and whether you'll use transition effects between pictures, and then click OK.

Now your screen saver is a random display of the pictures taken from your My Pictures folder.
