SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
When in Ubuntu/Mint/gOS/etc... while updating the additional third-party drivers, I got some error saying
"SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock"
Well, if you're also getting the same problem again and again, then here's the solution I've found:
> Resart the application/OS if necessary.
if not solved, then
> Open Terminal
> type: sudo rm /var/cache/
> Press Enter
it solved my problem. Hopefully, it will solve yours, also..

Programming Languages
Hey Guys!
I am willing to learn a new Programming Language which will help me to develop User-Friendly Win32 applications. I don't know which one to choose. I already know C, C++ and a bit Java. But I am, so far, not at all interested in Java. I hate that. Please lemme know which language is as powerful and simple as C++.

Hidden Powers of your cell phones!
Just check out some of the cool tricks I've found somewhere on net..Here's for you:
> Emergency call: Do you know that the "Emergency Number" for Mobile Phones is: 112. If you are out of mobile network and there is an emergency case, dial 112 and the mobile will search any network aside to establish an emergency number, and so far, this number can be dialed even if your keypad is locked. Try it out...
> Car Open Call: Sometime, if u've locked your car and forgot the keys inside, this trick may help you thatday!. A nice use of cell phone is if you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Keep the cell phone about a "feet" from your car and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock! Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
> Reserve Battery for Nokia: Suppose your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important call and you don’t have a charger, don't worry! Some of the Nokia handsets come with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370#. If it is supported, your cell will restart with the reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.
> Disable a stolen Mobile Phone: Check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone:* # 0 6 #. A 15 digit IMEI code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either.
