  1. Re:CPU and memory hogging bug in Firefox 1.5? on Firefox 1.5 Final Now Available · · Score: 1

    The grey bar at the bottom is caused by a faulty extension, probably Linky or one of the Google extensions. Disable your extensions and then reenable them one-by-one to find the culpret.

    It is called Nightly Tester Tools and it is available at http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/web/firefox/b uildid/nightly.html

  3. improved wifi support? on Mandriva Linux 2006 Released · · Score: 1

    What I really want to know is: Will my crappy D-Link Air DWL-520 Wireless Adapter(rev.E) be supported? It uses a Prism2.5 chipset that seems to confuse several distributions, including Ubuntu. I was using Mandrake and then Mandriva with functioning ethernet, but when I dropped my cable internet subscription a few months ago and started piggybacking on the neighbor's wifi, I could no longer use linux to get online. I am not a linux guru, but I can edit config files and such. I tried some 3rd party drivers but I had no luck. Getting this piece of hardware to work is over my head.

    I'd love it to just work out of the box.

    (The neighbors are cool with sharing their bandwidth.)

  4. Re:In Soviet America... on Making Ice Without Electricity · · Score: 0

    Looking at the color of someone's skin does not make you a racist. Looking at the color of someone's skin and determining that it was "ignorance and idiocy at their decision to stay in a flood plain for a massive hurricane," without understanding the disparity of wealth and poverty between people of color in the South... that might very well qualify you as an ignorant racist. Most of the people that stayed through the hurricane did not have a way out of New Orleans. If you can't conceive of that as you drive your SUV to your local suburban mall, that is because of your privileged ignorance. It is your ignorance, not my racism that is the issue

    In conservative America, racists blame the victims.
