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...

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...

Writing a driver (or paying someone to do so)I have a Mark of the Unicorn MIDI Express XT. This has no driver for Linux, but I no longer use Windows for anything except games, and I do not have or wish to acquire a Mac. I like to use what I have if I can, so... what would it take to get someone to write or reverse-engineer a driver? What could I expect to pay someone to do this? I would really like to use this interface in my Linux audio setup when I run out of ports on my AMT8. If a reasonable payment is beyond my means, do you think someone would do it for the fame? I believe there are quite a few people who would benefit from this, so...

[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...

[R*censored*]Romney denounces intolerance, except when he isQuote: Romney Camp Brags About Denouncing Intolerance, But Not Of Gay Former Advisor In a week full of nervy moves by the Mitt Romney campaign, the most shameless display of balls since New Year’s Eve has gone virtually unnoticed. The presumptive Republican nominee has taken a lot of criticism for failing to denounce the anti-gay voices that ostensibly drove openly gay advisor Richard Grenell to quit quit the campaign, Romney senior advisor Eric Fehrnstrom, appearing on Chuck Todd‘s The Daily Rundown, made a hilarious attempt to turn those lemons into lemonade by casting Romney as a warrior...

NPAPI Async DrawingHello. I would like to ask the developers of Mozilla. I'm very interested in technology NPAPI Async Drawing ... . I tested it on Firefox 13 beta on NPDrawingModelAsyncBitmapSurface. It works but very slowly. Under Windows, you realize hardware accelerated surface sharing, but what about Linux? You will be implement hardware accelerated mode on Linux? If you are using OpenGL render on Linux, maybe it can be implemented with OpenGL Pixel Buffer Object (PBO) ... . Thanks.

[X3AP] Teladi stock exchange doesnt count my cargo.Hi, I want to use the Teladi stock exchange in PTNI HQ to buy and sell Nividium shares. my ship has 1253 units of it and the supply number in the stock market is 1248. I thought that was odd but went and bought the shares anyway. when I ejected my Nividium (and even when out of the stock markets influence range) the supply and demand didnt change and so the index number stayed the same as it was when I bought the share while holding over 1200 units of Nividium in my cargo. Why isnt the stock exchange counting my Nividium cargo?( this only happened with Nividium for I tried the spacefuel before...
