In his recent blogpost, Thoughts on Flash, Steve Jobs says:
We also know first hand that Flash is
the number one reason Macs crash.
My best guess is that Flash runs in user-mode, with restricted privileges. Is is impossible to crash a system having restricted privileges.
What am I missing?
I have just installed Ubuntu on a machine that previously had XP installed on it. The machine has 2 HDD (hard disk drives). I opted to install Ubuntu completely over XP.
I am new to Linux, and I am still learning how to navigate teh file structure. However, AFAICT), there is only one drive. I want to be able to store programs etc on the first drive, and store data (program output etc) on the second drive.
It appears Ubuntu is not aware that I have 2 drives (on XP, these were drives C and D).
How can I mount the second drive (ideally, I want to do this automatically on login, so that the drive is available to me whenever I login - withou manual intervention from me)
In XP, I could refer to files on a specific drive by prefixing with the drive letter (e.g. c:\foobar.cpp and d:\foobar.dat). I suspect the notation on ubuntu is different. How may I specify specific files on different drives?
Last but notbthe least (a bit unrelated to previous questions). This relates to direcory structure again. I am a developer (C++ for desktops and PHP for websites), I want to install the following apps/ libraries.
i). Apache 2.2
ii). PHP 5.2.11
iii). MySQL (5.1)
iv). SVN
v). Netbeans
vi). C++ development tools (gcc, gdb, emacs etc)
vii). QT toolkit
viii). Some miscellaeous scientific software (e.g. www.r-project.org, www.gnu.org/software/octave/)
I would be grateful if a someone can recommend a directory layout for these applications. Regarding development, I would also be grateful if someone could point out where to store my project and source files i.e:
(i) *.cpp, *.hpp, *.mak files for cpp projects
(ii) individual websites
On my XP machine the layout for C++ dev was like this:
c:\dev\devtools (common libs and headers etc)
c:\dev\workarea (root folder for projects)
c:\dev\workarea\c++ (c++ projects)
c:\dev\workarea\websites (web projects)
I would like to create a similar folder structure on the linux machine, but its not clear whether to place these folders under /, /usr, /home or swomewhere else (there seems to be abffling number of choices, so I want to get it "right" first time - i.e having a directory structure that most developer use, so it is easier when communicating with other ubuntu/linux developers)
I am getting increasingly annoyed at wifi networks that require the user to fill in a login/pass by opening a browser. Are there any apps for iphone/ipod touch that are able to automate this step?
Hello all
I have fedora installed in my system. I know the password but i forgot the user name. I can access through terminal but i don't no how to login through gui. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Longtime Windows user, looking to get my feet wet with Linux. Since Windows makes comparatively little use of the command line, I'm naturally more comfortable with GUI tools for remote server administration tasks. However, before i rush out and install a VNC server on my Linux box, I want to get a sense of how many of Linux's various packages actually offer GUI front end. If not many, then it's probably not worth the effort.
I'm a new user of Mac OS X on my laptop. Currently I have Windows 7 and OS X on the same machine.
I can't figure out how to use the desktop correctly, no hard drive show, no right clicks, etc. Can someone explain the difference?
I have a local share with my vmware development server and I'm finding that when I create new files via osx, they are created under root instead of jacob.
Which is weird because when I do the connect to server thing I'm explicit about the user being jacob i.e.

Suggestions?
I have a question related to PKI Infrastructure , should an organization go with Microsoft PKI or an independent separate PKI Infrastructure ? Is there any licensing restrictions if I user Microsoft PKI Infrastructure ? Or should I get an independent PKI infrastructure from a vendor that offer PKI TSA and SP(Signature Proof) Infrastructure.
So I'm following this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/using-fail2ban-to-block-wrong-ispconfig-logins and the problem I have is that rsyslog won't redirect the output from a file to another
/etc/rsyslog.d/12-ispconfig.conf:
if $programname == 'ispconfig' then /var/log/ispconfig.log #the file exists
But I keep getting the output to syslog:
ispconfig[1117]: Login failed for user asdasd on IP XX.XX.XXX.XX
Any ideas how to fix this?
My knowledge on the topic is rather limited, but does one have Kernel access/the general ability to change programs at run time whilst running Wine?
For Clarification: Can the user of the computer access any information they want via the Kernel on the underlying system running Wine, or does normal Windows security still apply?

Hello,
I'm looking for a software similiar to Windows Desktop Search or Google Desktop, that can also display results from our Intranet search engine in the same manner it displays regular results (files/emails/etc.).
So far I managed to add Intranet search capabilities to Windows Desktop Search, but it doesn't show the results in the programs UI, but requires the user to press a "Search Intranet" button that opens the browser.
Would be happy to hear any suggestions.
Thank you.
I am trying to install the ATLAS BLAS library which recommends that I turn if CPU throttling to do the install.
How do I check if my CPU throttling is ON or OFF?
I tried the suggestion of
Code:
./cpufreq-selector -g performance
in the /usr/bin directory as suggested elsewhere in the forum but there was no output and the control returned back to the user.
I have searched everywhere but there does not seem to be a way to determine the status of the CPU throttling
Hi i want programm which can help me with the reinstalling system. I want to save the settings of programm what installed on my system. The settings of my user profile.

I have Windows 7 currently installed on the machine, and was booting off a cd with the Ubuntu 10 ISO on it.
Hello,
I'm using Linux in a large multi-user network. Let A be some group which I'm am member of, but which is not my primary group. According to chmod(2) I should be able to chgrp a file to group A. Trying to do so succeeds on a local as well as on a NFSv3 mount, but not on a NFSv4/Kerberos mount (EPERM). Are there any special considerations regarding chgrp when using NFSv4 mounts?
I recently switched from gnome terminal to urxvt (and installed tabbed extensions). I am also a heavy emacs user which uses a lot of key combinations similar to urxvt (tab related stuff) like Shift-Left and Shift-Right. These key-combinations are set for selecting text in emacs.
Is there a way to map ALT-1, ALT-2, ALT-3 for tabs 1, 2, 3 ..?
Is there an extension to do that ? Can it be achieved through the ~/.Xdefaults file ?
I'm an Open Office Calc user. Is there a way to insert an image inside a cell? When I choose Insert - Picture it inserts it so it's floating over the cells, and that's now what I want. I want to be able to insert the image into cell A1, for instance.
I like Google Chrome because it is fast but I don't like using the arrow keys in the location bar to complete URLs. Is there any extension, or setting I'm missing, that allows me to use the Tab key (or other customizable key) for completion like in Firefox?
I am an Emacs user and am aware of Conkeror. I just wanted to give Google Chrome a fair chance.
Edit: I'm using version 4.0.266.0 on Linux.
Mail + Social networking?
One identity for all sites?
Integration between all social networks and IM services?
Which web services should be integrated in the future, and why?
Edit: Clarification:
By "integrating", I mean that two or more services should be seamlessly connected, and that connection would benefit the user. Foe example, I would really like to have an IM application that would support many accounts on many IM providers (And IMHO, Pidgin's not ready yet).
