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...

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...

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. Go to Youtube and it plays videos OK for a while or until I reboot. Then Adobe is not recognised as installed and will not again play video until I use the adobe uninstal utility then reload adobe flash player and again repeat the whole cycle every time I reboot. Also Adobe Flash player is shown in FF addins as Shockwave player?? Is this the same program?? This all seemed to happen after installing latest version of Adobe flashplayer, I think but it...

[solved] Imaging or other backup means of "fake" RAID?Trying to get some general advice on the best way to go about backing up a "fake" RAID array. I'll take whatever means I can, but I'd prefer an imaging solution as opposed to just simple file duplication. It would also be nice if any provided solutions can backup Windows partitions on the same array. If I have to use two different apps or methods to accomplish both Windows and Linux images I will but I'd prefer an all in one deal if at all possible. I've been searching and reading around and from what I understand Clonezilla is not capable of imaging partitions on a fake RAID? I typically use...

New E-Mail Password, Thunderbird HangsI looked at this thread before deciding to post. I thought that OP's method was a bit too draconian I am having the exact same problem - new e-mail password, Thunderbird recognizes that, but does not recover so I can enter my new password. I have done the following: 1. Tried Safe Mode. No joy. 2. Forced Thunderbird to close. 3. Rebooted (yeah, I'm running Windows 7). 4. Found and inspected my profile. I found two sets of directories -- myoriginal and myoriginal-1 . The directory structure concluded with -1 contained newer entries. I combined the two sets of directories and deleted what I did...

Firefox Process won't EndHello, I've been having an issue recently, where when I close Firefox, the process remains active and will only end when I physically kill the process from the task manager. I've no idea why this has started to happen. I've been reading all over the internet on how to resolve this and tried everything but it just won't end on it's own. I've also tried all different kinds of spyware scanners and my own Kaspersky suite and nothing was found at all, apart from some tracking cookies but everyone gets them... I'm at my wits end and have no idea where to go from here. I really need it to start...

Light Table... Seems like a neat idea. I especially like the idea of having parameter values filled in and visible during the coding process throughout the entire program. Though I will say that the biggest thing going for this concept is the presentation I don't see it as all that different from what Emacs does. Not that this is a bad thing, it just means that Emacs is way ahead of most IDE's when it comes to integration with Lisp particularly Emacs-Lisp. _________________ Ware wa mutekinari.

Postcards for my friend's birthdayDear Gentoo-ers, my very good friend just loves postcards. Last week she got married and moved temporarily to Japan. This Sunday (13/05) she has birthday and I got the idea that flooding her with postcards from around the world would be a very nice present for her. If you would like to send her some wishes from your home city or country, please contact me on PM. I will give you then her post-address. I hope that you can help me. Greetings! dziadu _________________ 1% Twojego podatku to 100% naszej pasji!
