apt-file to search for the package providing a file in ubuntu

I found the tool apt-file on the ubuntu forums today.

sudo apt-get install apt-file
sudo apt-file update

Then you can use
apt-file search "GL/gl.h"

or something similar, and you will get a list of all the packages that provide that particular file. This is very useful.

Open command window here was your idea

This is pretty cool. By holding down shift and right clicking anywhere in a folder on Windows 7, you get a popup dialog that says "Open Command Window Here".

This was one of my favorite powertoy addons for XP. Really excited to have it in windows 7.
