I realized recently that while I have written about the history of the about:authors URL, I have never explained the history of the about:jwz easter egg. Well, I guess it's been long enough, so now it can be told. Read on...
So, the drive in my DirecTivo is going bad. Hangs every few days, "DriveStatusError BadCRC" in the logs. The usual. Good times. The annoying part here is that I just replaced a failing drive back in February by buying a pre-formatted replacement drive from DVRUpgrade.com -- and the drive they sent me went bad in eight and a half months. Turns out they only offered a 6 month warranty, but I ...
Aki telepítette az Ubuntu új 11.10-es verzóját, már biztos szembesült a ténnyel, hogy nincsenek képernyővédők . (Hacsak nem püföli megállás nélkül.) Akinek hiányoznának, így telepítheti a képernyővédőket:
Röviden:
gnome-screensaver eltávolítása
xscreensaver telepítése
xscreensaver indításának beállítása
örülünk
Hosszabban: tovább
Writing code for music may still seem a remote notion to the vast majority of even geekier digital musicians, but as exemplified by the language Overtone, it looks very different than coding once did. Whereas sound code was once a type-and-render affair, new coding environments focus on live coding. They use elegant, lightweight modern languages that take up less space. And they can be surprisingl...
An anonymous reader writes "Remember Fabrice bellard's [Linux-booting PC emulator in JavaScript] ? This modified version [Note: click on "emulator.html" in that directory to see it in action] allows the same emulator to boot the most recent linux kernel, 3.0.4, as well as providing the user with persistent storage. It is achieved by building a virtual block device, which stores data in HTML5 local...
Az Ubuntu október végén megjelenő 11.10-es, Oneiric Ocelot kódnevű kiadása már a GNOME 3 -ra fog épülni, viszont a felhasználói felülete továbbra is a Unity marad. Ez a felület az aktuális 11.04-es verzióban jelent meg először. Nekem pl. a mai napig nehezemre esik a kezelése. Képtelen vagyok megszokni. A KDE 4 nekem túl bonyolult, a XFCE, az LXDE és a hasonló minimál ablakkezelők viszont túl ...
What is this I don't even. As you may know, years ago some fresh young face on the Gnome team decided , for no sensible reason, to re-implement the xscreensaver daemon from scratch and call it "gnome-screensaver". This re-write was still able to run the 95% of xscreensaver that comprised the actual, you know, screen savers. It ran them badly, but it ran them. Well now I'm told that they've re...
Az Informatika a látássérültekért Alapítvány kiadásában megjelenő Belin azaz Beszélő Linux disztribúció az Ubuntu egy speciális változata, amely kifejezetten vakok és gyengén látók számára készült. A rendszer alapból tartalmaz egy nagyító- és képernyőolvasó programot, mely már a Live CD első bootolásakor is rögtön működik és magyarul szól a felhasználókhoz, így a nem látó felhasználók is rögt...
If you just want to fire up Renoise, the modern tracker/music production app, and not worry about the fact that its innards are hackable, you can. But for a reason why you might at least want to explore customization of this music tool, give the video above a look. It starts sleepy and slow … and then, part of the way through, as creator Dac Chartrand starts demoing the tool, something really spec...
Are you a Windows user in need of yet another cloud storage option? Lucky for you, after a long-running beta, Canonical's Ubuntu One client has officially debuted on Microsoft's platform. First introduced with Ubuntu 10.10 , the service offers 5GB of free storage, with file syncing across multiple machines, ala Dropbox . Android and iOS clients are already available. If you need more space, ho...
Although Nokia still hopes Windows Phone will round out a "three-horse race" with iOS and Android, it's said to be cooking up an entirely new operating system aimed at lower-end handsets. According to the Wall Street Journal , the OS (codenamed "Meltemi") is meant to cement Nokia's top dog status in emerging markets, where feature phones remain king. Makes sense: low-end phones accounted for 47...
