LaTeX centering a table that is larger than text width

Had this problem today with my thesis proposal, and luckily the solution is not hard to find:
http://mathandprogramming.blogspot.com/2011/07/latex-centering-table-larger-than.html

You basically need to use a package called chngpage and add an environment surrounding the table:

% allows for temporary adjustment of side margins
\usepackage{chngpage}

\begin{table}
    \begin{adjustwidth}{-.5in}{-.5in}  
        \begin{center}
        \begin{tabular}{|c|}
           % really wide table here
        \end{tabular} 
        \caption{This way the caption will also be the same width as the table, wider than the other text. }
        \label{myTable}
        \end{center}
    \end{adjustwidth}
\end{table}

Find and replace a word in all the text document

So some day I need to replace a word to another one for all the XML file in a folder. I was like OK I'll write a C++ code. There goes another hour of my working time then.

Then I received this piece of code from a colleague:
find . -name "*.xml" -exec perl -pi.org -e 's/DICOMIO/CartoXP/' {} \;

Works like a charm.

Also, a linux command line to check how many cores do you have:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l

I just need to share this one....

So today I was browsing 9GAG, saw a post like: telnet this and enjoy, starwars fans :-)

So I tried:

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Most epic ASCII stuff ever made.
