mkv to mp4 conversion - Linux Only

There are many tools to convert various video formats but I could not find a tool to convert mkv to mp4 files on Linux
Here is the script to convert mkv files to mp4. The script depends on other linux video tools like

1. mkvinfo 
2. mediainfo
3. mkvextract
4. MP4Box

Windows - Wired vs. Wireless Preferences

Win7 connects to wireless by default even if a wired connection exists.
There are 3 options to switch to wired when it is available.

1. Simple: If you are using a laptop, then there is a small switch to toggle wireless connection. If the toggle is not available then use the next 2 options. 
2. Non-Admin : If you are on PC/Laptop and you do not have admin privileges then follow these instructions:
• Make wired highest preference
• Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center
• Click on 'Change adapter settings' from the left panel
• Right Click the "Local Area Connection"
• Click Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4
• Click Properties > Advanced
• Un-check "Automatic metric"
• Enter 1 at the "Interface metric" ( You enter a number between 1 and 9999 where smaller is higher priority)
• Make wireless next preference
• Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center
• Click on 'Change adapter settings' from the left panel
• Right Click the "Wireless Network Connection"
• Click Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4
• Click Properties > Advanced
• Un-check "Automatic metric"
• Enter 2 at the "Interface metric" ( You enter a number between 1 and 9999 where smaller is higher priority) 
3. Admin: If you have admin access follow these instructions

• Press Win+R
• Enter ncpa.cpl at the Run prompt
• Press Alt on the Network Connections window, which enables the hidden Menu bar
• Select "Advance Settings" from the menu bar
• Change the bindings order of Network Connections by using green control to move up/down

Firefox addon - IE Tab 2

If you are the one who doesn't like to click that stupid "IE" icon to view sites in Internet Explorer then this is for you.
Firefox has an interesting addon - IE Tab which allows us to open those primitive websites that only support Internet Explorer.

Check this out at IE Tab 2

Interesting Point: This tool allows to configure rules to automatically open the websites of your choice in IE Tab, thereby enabling you to not touch that stupid IE icon :)
I'm sure this is a boon to developers who want to test their Web App in two browsers.
