Just so you know, you can turn that off./etc/power.conf IIRC. That said, I also tend to rip the key off.
Wanna know ironic, though? The Sun E150 server (mini E450 chassis, Ultra-1 guts) can't be turned *on* without the keyboard.
True story, one DC where I worked about 12 years ago called Sun support because a machine wouldn't power up after a simulated power failure. Stupid Sun SE wound up replacing the motherboard before he would listen to me and plug in a damn keyboard.
Modern servers (not 1950s radio gear) do not feed AC on the equipment side of the power supply. The AC is contained within the PSU and the equipment is powered by DC.
And besides which, all modern data centers keep their redundant power distribution in phase. For starters, they know that their grounds will be tied together through customer equipment.
I think you need to vote NDP. The greens have no hope in hell of forming a government. We need to get a shit load of NDP seats to make the other two parties wake up and get theirs heads out of their collective asses.
So - I think an NDP government would be short-term pain for long-term gain. And NDP minority government would be almost perfect.
That is all well and good, but to the vast majority of Americans [...] the only thing that matters is units of distance, temperature, weight, and volume. If they have a sense of [...] how much more they will weigh
Really? You really think the vast majority of Americans are concerned with local fluctuations in g? Or do you think they are regularly engaging in interplanetary travel?
Please tell me you had crash dumps turned on. This behaviour is unacceptable. Hopefully the FF team can figure out how your plug-ins were getting angry and tame them.
FWIW, I run AVG with FF4 on XP, zero issues. But I'm not really a windows guy, so I don't use it much.
Firefox extensions are aftermarket products. That means it is not mozilla's job to fix them, but rather the extension author.
When was the last time you saw larry wall patching people's perl scripts? Does Bill Joy fix your java programs when they break because Java got an update?
Are you able to post a link to one (or more) of your crashes on the crash stats web page?
It sounds like you're having an unusual experience, hopefully somebody will look at your crash reports. I run 4 all day, all night, and have for months. I haven't had a crash since beta 8 or so (and that was OOM related)
> I don't have time to work out how they should be re-written to work with a beta.
There's a setting in about:config that you can use to turn off extension version checking. Most of the time, this is enough, IME. And I bet given the new release cycle, that 99% of extensions written for 4 work with 5.
4.0 is a major upgrade from 3.6, not a miniscule update. I suggest you download it. There are significant perf improvements, in the JS engine and elsewhere.
Most of these comments are subsets of what I see as the truth:
1. Fukushima *is* a big deal 2. But it's not going to actually ruin the planet 3. So take the lessons we've learned, and improve all plants to make this type of disaster far less likely 4. Continue to build nuclear until there are better choices 5. Continue to research better choices
#5 is the most important in the long run, and the Fukushima accident HELPS us understand that. In fact, this disaster is a disaster for Japan, but a great boon to the world, as it helps us better understand what we are doing.
> These people like that all systems play well together.
I know! I love it when systems play well together, too!
In the summertime, I like to sit in my back yard drinking beer, feet up near the campfire, listening to tunes.
When I want to pick a new song, I'll pick up one of my iPhones, or maybe my iPad. Or one of the kids' iPod Touches. Then I scroll through the iTunes library on my Mac, pick the song I want to hear, and Boom! It comes out the Apple Airport Express in my living room, which is hooked up to my outdoor speakers. I can even change the volume without getting out of my lawn chair!
Also, another thing I love doing is sitting on the couch, watching TV when nobody is home. But, there is no TV in my living room, so I just grab my iPad and use the GlobalTV application to watch my favourite shows, like House and Hawaii Five-O.
The speakers in the iPad kinda suck for TV, though. So I turn on my stereo, and click the "AirPlay" box on the GlobalTV application (same UI element as the iPod app, Safari, YouTube, etc). Then I choose "Living Room Speakers", and my TV show's audio streams to the nice big speakers hooked up to my stereo, and I chill out, watching TV.
Integration is great! What I especially like about the Airport Express is how easy it was to set up. I just plugged it in, turned it on, and stuck the CD in my Mac Mini. I answered a few questions, and was using it in less than five minutes.
My wife likes it, too. She can stream her tunes from the library on the Mac and control them either with a spare iPhone or iTunes running on her Windows laptop. My kid does the same thing, I catch her listening to my Beatles collection from her desktop in the rec room every now and then.

Scroll lock changes from application to window manager managed function keys on my FVWM 1.24 desktop.
PC-Kermit(?) also uses scroll lock to make the screen scroll via the cursor keys.
Did Leo build a working model?
My PBX has POTS pairs as it's CO interface, and supports POTS sets with DTMF. I haven't checked if it supports pulse dialing or not, though.
He says it runs well on Maker's Mark. I don't have a bottle handy ATM, but ISTR it is 90 proof.

..did you tell them about Haiti? And Japan?
I dunno. How do I resume a file download with my web browser? Clicking on a link just starts a second download.
Hmm - you know, Jobs should buy Apple Records. That would be awesome.
I dunno man, I kind of like being to re-start aborted transfers, too. I wish the W3C would tack that onto HTTP.

I got busy during ST:DS9, right at the height of the war with the Dominion.
I keep meaning to catch up via BitTorrent, but I've ah, procrastinated a bit.

What parts of the google empire are open source? Parts which are "castle", or parts which are "moat"?
Hint: an open-source browser counts as "moat" when your castle is "search"
