Auto-mount exFAT devices in Ubuntu

exFAT is natively supported by OSX and Windows (even XP!) the only thing was to make it work with Ubuntu. So here we go:

Execute these commands one by one
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:relan/exfat
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fuse-exfat

Now we are able to manualy mount exFAT-formatted drives. To automate it we have to install couple more things:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev
sudo apt-get install util-linux

Everything should be working nicely now

Troubleshooting:
If repository cannot be added:
sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:relan/exfat
If install failed, because of fuse-utils:
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

    I am getting an error still when I try to mount the drive:
    Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: ERROR: `._.com.apple.timemachine.donotpresent' has invalid checksum (0xf8f0 != 0xf300).


    Any idea how to get around that problem?
    thank you, Chaithanya

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion bootable USB (without MAC)

Download the raw file from here . How to use: 1 - Copy the .raw file to an USB stick using  SUSE Studio Image Writer . If you have error during copy, eject and re-connect the pen drive. When Windows asks if you want to format it, cancel and run Image Writer again. If the problem persists, disable your anti-virus software, it may be blocking raw write to the drive. Another Image Writer for Windows, if SUSE doesn't work https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download 2 - Boot the USB drive and install. If you need, type  boot options , for example: -v (verbose boot) [default] -x (safe) -s (single user) GraphicsEnabler=yes (enable graphics card drivers) [default] USBBusFix=yes (fix problems with USB devices) npci=0x2000 (use if boot stops at "PCI configuration begin") cpus=1 If you need, use  TransMac  to remove kexts which are causing problems (System/Library/Extensions) and use the flag -f (ignore caches) at boot, or remove /System/Libra...

Java: Use BigInteger in for-loop

In my previous post , I mentioned a way to handle large integers by using BigInteger. Now I'm going to provide a very important usage of it. We often use for-loop. So here is the way to use it: Ordinary integers: for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {  //Task to do } BigInteger: for (BigInteger bi = BigInteger.valueOf(1);                 bi.compareTo(n) <= 0;                 bi = bi.add(BigInteger.ONE)) { //Task to do } here n is a BigInteger variable.
