I am looking for a light solution in linux, to literally convert a *.txt file into pdf format. I hope the solution satisfies:
lightweight. I know renaming *.txt to *.odt and then use libreoffice is a pathway, but it will load the heavy libreoffice.
I know pr|groff -Tpdf is a solution, yet it does not work literally: it throws away my line-breaks, an may accidentally eat some special marks as escaped labels, making potential bugs. But I still hope to use these old tools as much as possible, because they are stable and fast.
Many thanks!

One way would be to use enscript followed by ps2pdf
enscript -p file.ps file.txt
ps2pdf file.ps file.pdf

This may be a question that is not suitable for stackoverflow, but I had no other better place to ask it. I was wondering if there are any known tools (non-commercial) that can be used to solve the homophone confusions such as these in a sentence?

I am new to NLP and I haven't used any of the known tools. Tried to search for these in google but nothing useful shows up. Are there any parts in NLTK or CoreNLP that cover this?
I have no experience with this topic but I found a how to PDF that may be of some use to you.
How to solve homophone problems
It's no complete solution, but LanguageTool has some rules for this. See the rule file and search for rulegroup id="IT_IS"(disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of LanguageTool). After the Deadline also uses a rule-based approach, only that it tries to avoid useless suggestions by filtering its suggestion against a large n-gram database.

I've searched but found .exe document that doesn't work on linux server.
Thanks if you can help me to find one
There are a number of different ways of doing this but from your question it looks like you want to convert your documents on your server? FlexPaper supplies sample scripts in PHP and Java for how you can convert PDF documents to HTML5 and Flash in both GPL and commercial versions. You can give it a try here:

Plain HTML can't convert pdf to flipbook.. Program called ghostscript can convert pdf to jpg/png in linux but the flipbook it self have to be maid/viewed usually with flash.

How can I do this? I have Package Control installed and I'm running Ubuntu. There are similar questions that detail some faulty plugins, and I'm wondering if this is still the case as of 2014
Check out HTML-CSS-JS Prettify. It requires node.js to work, so make sure you read through the entire README to get your system set up properly. I've been using it for a while, and I really like it. There are lots of configuration options, so you can customize it to your particular needs.

Does anyone know of any software like Google Docs, or collabedit that allows you to edit realtime collaboratively and even compile a .cpp or other program over the web?
I haven't used this website, but seems like http://codebunk.com/ does the job.
It doesn't work for Java though.
I know of this website that will compile the code for you:
http://ideone.com/
Unfortunately, I cannot help in the real time editing front.
I wrote a little webapp that does exactly that, i.e. it lets you compile Google Docs documents: http://compiler.m01.eu
You can write C++ code into a Google Document (and do that collaboratively if you like), and then click on a bookmark (provided on the site) to compile your code, which will either start the download of your binary or show a compiler error message.

I'm back here is SO, i was a time out because i get sad with some persons that dislike me only because i was noob in C/C++ and now i'm very nice on it and my OS is started!.
But the thing is that now i'm emulating Mac System 7.5.5 68k, just for fun and for development too(AppleScript), but i was searching in the internet about this and i didn't find anything much intersthing, then i get here to know where i can find some good resources for this old version of AppleScript.
Thanks!
Danny Goodman's AppleScript Handbook was always the best AppleScript reference since the OS 7 days. For good or ill, the AppleScript language has changed little in over fifteen years so a late edition will still be useful.
If you must have a reference for the original OS 7 version you have to look for an out-of-print edition, this can be done from Amazon or Abe Books, among others.
