  1. Universal Solution on Ask Slashdot: Getting an Uncooperative Website To Delete One's Account? · · Score: 1

    Even on sites that "allow" deletion, you probably can't actually destroy your data, only impact its visibility. Sites that don't allow deletion LOVE updates. So here's the Universal Solution:

    - Update your profile by removing (or changing to BS if necessary) as much information as possible. This includes "updating" your photo with something meaningless.
    - If possible, change any username/nickname info.

    This is approximately as close as you can get for any non-deletion site regardless of their other policies.

  2. Linux Battery *Indicator* on Why Is Linux Notebook Battery Life Still Poor? · · Score: 1

    I've had to recalibrate my battery twice in Linux, with limited usefulness, and I suspect you're suffering from the same problem. Specifically, after the indicator shows a completely drained battery, providing I disable auto-shutdown the computer will continue to operate for a significant amount of time. - Run the battery completely dead. - Charge the battery with the computer turned off. - Run the battery completely dead.
