One thing I've found pretty annoying about Fedora is SELinux. I understand what it's there for, but it's extremely restrictive out of the box. I set it to permissive mode, so that it won't block anything outright, now it just gives me tons of various warning messages. I have a couple NTFS mounts...

KPlayer is the KDE version of MPlayer. I checked and hardware acceleration is enabled on both KPlayer and VLC.

I'm still trying to find a decent video player. On Windows I was using Media Player Classic Home Theater Edition. I'm currently using VLC, but I find the performance to be kind of crappy. I also installed KPlayer, but it doesn't seem that great either.

I wanted to run KDE and everything I have read about Kubuntu sounded bad. I tried installing OpenSuse, but also had trouble with the installer. Also, the Unix sysadmin at work uses Fedora so if I have problems he is a good resource for me.

I found this guide extremely useful during my setup process.

I decided a few days ago that I was bored with Windows, so I decided to install Linux on my main machine (HTPC will stay Windows XP for now). I chose Fedora 11 with KDE 4.2.x. The process has been a lot easier than I imagined. I had trouble with the initial install, because the install tool on...

Well, at least it sounds easy enough to fix. This will give me slightly longer to figure out how to buy this without angering my GF.

The new Intel SSD is now listed on Newegg. Not in stock though.

The nails I am referring to are fairly short and thin. Not really something you could use for your new hobby.

One thing I'd like to point out is all the MLC SSDs that have poor write performance can be "fixed" to work fine with MS SteadyState. I understand it's not a great solution for everyone, but it's been working fine for me for months.

I've bent plenty of aluminum nails trying to put up wood paneling.

Get some aluminum nails, those should be easier to bend.

Looks good. When can I buy one?

I hate the control panels for both ATI and nVidia cards. I just hate the nVidia control panel slightly less.

Are there any reviews out for the second gen Intel SSD?

I know someone who has dropped a cell phone in the toilet. I think she fished it out though.

I would guess it starts the fire.

I'd rather get the cheaper drive and then upgrade in 2 years when there are faster drives on the market.

I see no reason it wouldn't burn. I'd bear it in a survival situation.

Will it run on human waste?

I will probably get the 80GB drive when it's available. I don't know why I would need a 160GB boot drive.

Of course you were...

That grill costs about 10x what I paid for my grill. I wonder if it makes meat taste better?

Oh yeah, welcome back Buck.

I noticed, but thought it might be a mirage.

I've been doing more research on this and have found that under certain circumstances content-length is unnecessary. If content is generated dynamically many times the transfer-encoding will be set to chunked and then a content-length is unnecessary. See the technical explanation.

I've been on Sprint since 2001, but didn't have a data plan until 2009.

I was just re-reading the article that sechs linked to in the first post and they say to change the Firefox setting to not do keep-alive. I don't think I would do that. Keep-alive will significantly reduce the number of TCP connections that are required to GET most pages. I would bet that this...

Equipment can be liquidated for some money...

Did you recently upgrade to Firefox 3.5?

The price for 5GB seems pretty ridiculous. I wonder how much data I can transfer with my Blackberry before I hit the "unlimited" ceiling.

It supports 5 users at once, versus one with a PCMCIA card.

Here's my understanding: when Firefox starts receiving HTML markup in the response it won't start rendering the page until it has received all the markup. This is particularly true with poorly written markup (missing closing tags). So, if the browser can't tell when the end of the response is...

All that Live HTTP Headers does is show your request header that gets sent to the server and the response header that the server sends back. I doubt it makes anything faster. I mainly use it for troubleshooting purposes.

I use an add-on called Live HTTP Headers for Firefox that shows requests and responses. Check it out if you care.

Connection keep-alive basically tells the browser/server to keep the connection alive so that it can be used for future requests. This way you don't have overhead for opening and closing a new connection for every request/response. The problem is that if the web server doesn't send a...

You and others have said this so many times my head is going to explode. Greg, just buy a SSD and see for yourself.

What do you use in place of Visio?

Adobe InDesign.

I develop a variety of applications, some of them have over 5000 source files. Search saves a lot of time when trying to find a specific file, where I know the name or part of the name, but maybe not the exact location in the directory structure.

I would guess that it won't be possible with the first version. However, this is an open source project, so there isn't any limitation to what could be implemented. I would guess that once it goes "stable" the project will get forked and features such as this will be added.

There are some additions to HTML5 related to scripting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_5#New_APIs

My question was more of a joke than a question.

I wonder if it will be able to run Firefox?

I do a lot of name searches, so this should save me a lot of time waiting. It also includes regexp support. If regular expressions weren't so hard to write that would be useful too.

OS is a pretty broad term. A toaster oven can have an OS. It will run on a linux kernel and provide core functions e.g. drivers, windowing system, browser. It could also include and IM app and some kind of WiFi setup utility.

I've played around with it at home, seems to work fine. I haven't tried to use it long term for anything though. I believe that you are supposed to for pay support if you are using it for commercial purposes.

Just installed it. It indexed 4 volumes in a few seconds. Why aren't other search tools this fast?

For Web-based applications JavaScript allows many things that are not possible with a strict HTTP request-response model. If you have a page that has 10 different components on it and I click a button to remove or refresh one of the components why would I want to have to ask the server for the...

I know other people that have ordered glasses online. They have been satisfied with them.
