Firefox : Reopen the last closed tab and other short cut keys

http://arunonfire.blogspot.com/2007/11/firefox-reopen-last-closed-tab-and.html

I discovered the Firefox keyboard shortcut that re-opens the most recently closed tab: Ctrl-Shift-T. (Cmd-Shift-T for Mac users.)

This one ranks up with Ctrl-T (new tab) and Ctrl+L (go to address bar).

CTRL+T = New Tab

CTRL+TAB = Go to the next tab (right)

CTRL+SHIFT+TAB = Go to the previous tab (left)

CTRL+K - goto google search bar

CTRL-1 to go to your first tab
CTRL-(number between 2-8) to go to the (second to eighth) tab
CTRL-9 to go to the last tab

Scientific Calculations in JAVA using 'pi' and 'e'

http://arunonfire.blogspot.com/2007/11/scientific-calculations-in-java-using.html

Many scientific/trigonometric/mathematical applications need the values of ‘pi’ and ‘e’ (the basis of natural logarithms) for calculations. The math class in the java.lang package has two static double constants that represent values that are closer than any other to these. They can be used in calculations.Since they are static, they can be used as Math.PI and math.E .
