When downloading from Flickr, you can configure it to download photos that match the tags you specified, or just to download the most interesting photo of the day.
If you run out of tags idea, you can also check out the Webilder channel to see what others are downloading and add their tags to your Webilder.
In addition, Webilder also comes with a simple photo browser where you can preview the image in full screen and decide if you want to use it as the wallpaper.
I like Wallpapoz the best, for the simple reason that it allows me to specify a different set of wallpapers for each workspace. When I change workspace, the wallpaper also changes accordingly. With this feature, you can configure each workspace to display a different ‘mood’ of wallpaper.
The first workspace may display those ‘Get back to work’ kinds of wallpaper that constantly remind you to finish up your work. The second workspace may be made up of relaxing, soothing wallpaper where you can listen to your music with peace. The trick is, when you are bored with your work, simply switch the workspace and change your mood instantly.
I am not sure if this works for you, but it is definitely working for me.
The current version of this app is 0.4.1 and works well in most Linux distros with GNOME desktop. This will also be the last stable version as the developer has decided to quit the development.
Generally, this is a simple wallpaper changer that performs what it’s supposed to do - change wallpapers at regular intervals. If you just want a set it once and leave it kind of wallpaper-changing app, then this is most suitable for you.
If you are using Ubuntu, Drapes is included in the repository and you can easily install via the Synaptic Package Manager. If that is too troublesome for you, click here to install it.
Wallpaper-Tray is another simple wallpaper changer that does only the basic stuff. You specify the location of your wallpapers, set the time interval and you are good to go. No surprises.
There is one interesting feature though - Wallpaper Search tool. You type in some text in the search bar and it will search your filesystem and display all the images with file names similar to your search term. You can then select from the results the image that you want to set as the wallpaper.
Wallpaper-Tray is also available in the Ubuntu repository.
There is no installation required for this app. You just need to download the tar file and extract it to the Screenlets folder (usually located in /home/username/.Screenlets). You can then activate the app via the Screenlets main menu.
While this app works fine as a wallpaper changer, its interface is rather unpolished and can be hard to manage at times. I would advise you to use this app only if you have already installed Screenlets.
Did I miss out any wallpaper changer app for Linux? Do let me know and I will add it to the list.

The system speaker is controlled by a driver in the Linux kernel. This allows the pc speaker to beep at you for different reasons or at different events. If you remove the module which drives the speaker, the beeping goes away, as the machine no longer knows how to interface with that device.
This can be done manually with a command such as:
sudo modprobe -r pcspkr
or you can set it as a persistent change by adding the module to your system driver blacklist, available at:
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
simply append the line “blacklist pcspkr” for that driver to be disregarded at every boot.
If you’d like to manually re-insert the module use:
sudo modprobe pcspkrEnjoy Silence.

Unfortunately amaroK doesn't come with MP3 support in Ubuntu. But that's easy to fix.
1. Check, if you have included the Universe sources in /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Type "sudo apt-get update" in the shell (or use the Update Button in Synaptic)
3. Type "sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg" (or select and install it in Synaptic)
This will install the needed libmad0 library as well.
4. Start amaroK and play your MP3 files :)
if this does not work in the first go then restart the computer and it should work.
If you have any better idea please do add it as a comment.

all cells in any given range that are greater than 100. Let's say this range is A1:A100. We would Start by selecting cells A1:A100, Starting from cell A1. This will ensure A1 is the active cell in the selection and from this, Excel will know all other cells we specify are relative to cell housing the Conditional Formatting. Now go to Format>Conditional Formatting and then choose "Cell value is", then "Greater than" and then type 100 in the far right, see below;
Now click the "Format" button and choose the desired formatting for all cells greater than 100. After this, click "Ok" then "Ok" again. The same logic can be applied to any other of the criteria we can choose. E.g "Less than", "Equal to" etc
=AND(ISNUMBER(A1),A1>100)
Again, it is vital the you select Starting from A1 as all other formulas, in A2:A100, will change their cell references relatively. That is, A2 Conditional Formatting will read;=AND(ISNUMBER(A2),A2>100)
If you are not already aware, both conditions in an AND Function must evaluate to True for the Function to return True. In other words, all cells in A1:A100 will need to house a number AND the number must be greater than 100 for the chosen formatting to be applied.Wireless Key View.
Very useful little tool for managing the wireless network WEP/WPA keys
stored on your Windows PC. You can view the plain text version of the
key, delete old keys and copy paste them to a file for safe keeping.
It’s especially great if you’ve forgotten your WiFi access key and are
locked out of your wireless router. C’mon admit it, we’ve all had
moments when the old memory has failed us…!
WirelessKeyView recovers all wireless network keys (WEP/WPA)
stored in your computer by the ‘Wireless Zero Configuration’ service of
Windows XP and by the ‘WLAN AutoConfig’ service of Windows Vista. It
allows you to easily save all keys to text/html/xml file, or copy a
single key to the clipboard.
