The Hindenburg’s Smoking Lounge... Quote: The Hindenburg’s smoking room was thus a necessary concession to global travelers who could book a first-class cabin on the greatest ocean liner ever built (even to this day), the Normandie, at no more than half the price. Guillaume de Syon, author of a standard book on the zeppelins, points out that the room was extremely popular and travelers would otherwise have been oppressively bored, at least when no land was in sight. An open pack of premium cigarettes was thus a centerpiece of Hindenburg advertisements. Should the passengers have been worried? The hydrogen-buoyed airship had...

Linux Process Control QuestionMy wife likes to run Facebook flash games in Firefox. Her computer is starting to show its age. Flash crashes regularly, sending the CPU to 100% and making the system completely unusable. This never resolves itself, leaving the only option being a hard reset. I know flash is garbage... I'm not really looking for a solution for flash. Rather, I'd like to contain the problem. I Googled a bit and found suggestions for using renice on /usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container. However, once the problem hits, I can't access it. If I could, I'd just kill the process. I also found suggestions to use...

PC media censoring wave of Muslim rapes of Swedish girlsQuote: Swedish girls Malin and Amanda were on their way to a party on New Year’s Eve when they were assaulted, raped and beaten half to death by four Somali immigrants. Sweden’s largest newspaper has presented the perpetrators as “two men from Sweden, one from Finland and one from Somalia”, a testimony as to how bad the informal censorship is in stories related to immigration in Sweden. Similar incidents are reported with shocking frequency, to the point where some observers fear that law and order is completely breaking down in the country. The number of rape charges in Sweden has tripled in...

TB & GmailHi, So I was setting up an account for someone who has a gmail account & when it went to DL all the e-mails, it only grabbed e-mails from 2010. I'm not even sure it grabbed them all from that year. I need to get all his e-mails. I tried to search online & only found the instructions to enable all e-mails or something within the gmail settings. I think that was checked & done (it's in Spanish, so it's hard for me to work on his computer) & still no new e-mails. Please advise. Thank you Michelle

Socialist Dependant Trampoline Bear DiesSocialist Dependant Trampoline Bear Dies Quote: Bears are by nature 99 percenters. They are not rich, they grab what they can where they can and they just want to get along and raise their bear families. Occasionally misfortune befalls them and a safety net is needed - as happened to our Boulder, Colorado bear, who found himself disadvantaged and stranded in a tree. Fortunately, the state had its safety net, in the form of a trampoline, standing by. When our Boulder bear finally gave up on life and dropped from the tree, he was saved by the government trampoline, albeit with a few bumps and...

Images don't load completelyBefore I start explaining, here's an image: ... For some reason, Firefox doesn't load this image completely. I have tried refreshing the image many times over, clearing the cache using Tools > Clear Recent History > Clear Now - with everything tick marked, starting Firefox in safe mode, restarting my pc, but it doesn't load. This is not even the only image that has shown this problem. A few other images have done this in the past, with a common characteristic among them being a large size. Funny thing is that it doesn't work in Internet Explorer either. I've even tried using it in another pc...

Firefox 12 and adobe flash playerI have read some queries raised by others but have a problem I cannot resolve. Running ff12 and downloaded latest release of adobe flashplayer.

Plugin func isn't called when its injected by content scriptI'm creating an add-on wherein I'm injecting some scripts on every web page that user navigates to. This injection is done by calling window.messageManager.loadFrameScript("chrome://myToolbar/content/contentscript.js", true); This script is being injected properly on every webpage. In this js file, I have handled "DomContentLoaded" event. And in response to this event, I am injecting a plugin on the web page using following code. var bodyElements = content.document.getElementsByTagName("body"); if(bodyElements != null && bodyElements[0] != null) { var newElement = content.document...
