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...

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...

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...

Actual facts in Zimmerman/Martin case start to emergeBone fide forensic evidence is becoming available. You can find articles for yourself, but the two latest interesting facts to emerge: 1. Zimmerman had injuries to his face and head consistent with being beaten. He had bleeding cuts on the back of his head that paramedics thought would require stitches. His nose was swollen, and he had bruises and abrasions on his cheeks and face. A doctor who examined him the next day said he appeared to have a broken nose. There are photographs and testimony by paramedics, police, and a doctor. 2. Martin had no injuries other than some to his hands,...

Not sure where to post topicHi everyone, I have a gentoo/tor/xchat/sasl/freenode related problem and by the process of elimination have narrowed it down to a gentoo/tor problem (because my ubuntu/tor/xchat/sasl/freenode setup works). Because it does deal with xchat and third party software I am not sure if I should put it in Networking or security or not. Bascially this is a rundown of the probelm.. I'm trying to connect to FreeNode's tor hidden server using SASL. I have followed the instructions ... and got the script and loaded it from ... I have started tor and set xchat to use SOCKS5 on 127.0.0.1 port 9050 but when I...

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...

[SOLVED]refresh rate too high for moniterAfter installing gentoo, I turned it on and booted into gentoo. When I started it, I saw some text and then the text disappeared and then my moniter came with an error message. The error message was "Out of range". My monitor is a ViewSonic VA902b. Is there anyway to configure gentoo to boot with a selected refresh rate and resolution? Last edited by dydo on Fri Feb 22, 2008 1:54 am; edited 1 time in total

Mkinitcpio-0.8.8 gentoo port(modular initrd generation tool)Hello gentoo forum, after I read the neddy guide on udev 182, I start a thread on initrd creation for people eg running root on LVM with seperate /usr and/or /var partition. See ... for details. For this, I use arch linux's mkinitcpio tool, which works on arch like a charm. It is in my opinion easy to set up, and atm a superior solution to genkernel. The gentoo genkernel created initrd does not work that well for me, because I found that genkernel does not include the udev demon in the initrd. The result, LVs don't get properly symlinked in Code: /dev/disk/by-label

Lots of questions for different topics. Stations, ST's, Stock xchange, board, andmoreOk, to begin with, this is my first post so forgive me if a lot of stuff has been answered before, also I am a newish player so forgive me if i ask simple things or do not fully understand. I've looked but can only find more advanced discussions of the topics which leave out a lot of the more simple things that I am missing. Also, this is for Albion Prelude. Also I am doing the bankrupt assassin play-through, so no paranid or boron help, and most of this is taking place near the aladna hill area. So first up is a problem i seem to have with Sector Traders. I realize this has been posted many...

Off to Bermuda for a weekI know everybody who read Pos/Neg/Fick already knows this, but I'll be gone for a week starting tomorrow. I'm going on a Norwegian Cruise Lines ship to the Bahamas. Two days to get there, three days there, two days to get back. Should be pretty fun. Well, see you guys when I get back. _________________ Will forever be a huge fan of Kyle Dunamis!

Marine Discharged for Criticizing Obama on FacebookQuote: Sgt. Gary Stein, the 26-year-old Marine who learned Wednesday he would be discharged for his online comments criticizing President Barack Obama, wishes he could take it back. “People ask me, ‘Would you go back and change those words?’ I would most definitely,” Stein told msnbc.com. “I would articulate my point better.” On March 1, Stein wrote on a closed forum for active-duty meteorologists and oceanographers that he would say "Screw Obama" and not follow all orders from him, according to Courthouse News. “Obama is the economic enemy,” he wrote in the post. “He is the religious enemy .....
