The same HTML rendering component I can understand, but in this case it appears a script running in a web browser instance of the component can somehow affect the help rendering instance, and that is a quality WTF.
One of the selling points of this system is that you DON'T need to let your card leave your sight, or even your hand, as before when magnetic strips were used that was good indication of having your card copied.
The terminal you put your card is is usually wireless or has a long cord so you can pick it up to better hide your pin when you enter it. This makes using a card with wires going up your sleeve quite easy to get away with and keeping hold of the card is not unusual behaviour that would arouse suspicion. See the BBC video here:
I installed 3.1 just last week because I needed some office on my machine and tried to paste some cells from calc into a writer document, a process that MSOffice 2003 does perfectly, and got some kind of embedded spreadsheet WTF with tiny font that actually distorted when you moved the handles at the side. Seems to get a table you need to actually 'paste as html', and even then there's no way to get to the bits that overflow off the right of the document...
I really want to love openoffice and will update, but my advice right now is clone Office 2003 first and worry about new features later. (Except give Calc a MD5 function, excel does not seem to have one)
I would guess Tomboy is being pulled because it requires mono. I recall there was a big argument when it was first included in the default Gnome desktop because of all the extra space required by the mono runtime just for some virtual post-it notes. So this move probably saves lots of space behind the scenes.
Agreed, the last time I tried to multi-head Ubuntu (9.04), it worked eventually, but the process was not nearly as smooth as even windows XP, which has always 'just worked' for me in this regard.
Don't blame windows if your applications fail to ask it for proxy settings and instead each store them individually. It's possible to set the proxy settings using the control panel without opening IE (I am not sure what happens if you uninstall IE, but suspect the settings panel will still be there).
AFAIK both firefox and chrome will use these settings.
Google run their public DNS on 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 so they are being used, this is probably because level 3 provide google with multicast on these addresses.
There's no reason your DNS tunnel can't use the official provided DNS servers for communication. Look for clients repeatedly querying for large TXT records.
Ok, does anyone know how to turn off the tabs bar, or at least hide it when there is only one tab, like firefox does?
99% of the time I read my mail in the reading pane instead of popping open a new window, so the tabs bar is just sitting there with only one tab showing.
Plus pressing the write button opens a new window instead of a tab anyway...
"matrix of points proportional to the associated location in the document"
I am pretty sure this means that the sparkline resizes to fit its containing cell(s) when you drag the row/column resize handles at the edges, or some other process causes the cell(s) to be resized.
RTFP, its about their implementation of sparklines in excel. NOT the lines themselves. Designed to stop other spreadsheets having sparklines in their cells without fighting a huge legal battle to get the patent overturned that only Microsoft can afford.
I'm British, and didn't think to be proud of ours plugs until that article came up...
As well as a fuse in the plugs, we also have GFCI breakers installed on all the circuits that feed plugs, they do work, my sister once touched the live prong trying to remove a plug with a broken cover (didn't switch it off at the socket beforehand either), it tripped, everything in the house turned off, but she was unharmed.
Also everyone is taught in year 9 (13-14) how to wire up a plug to ensure all the safety features work, and change the fuse.
Having used linux on the desktop for more than 5 minutes, I am quite happy downloading and installing random.debs I find on the interlolz, because its not in the repo/a more up to date version. Malware thats easy to manage and update is still malware.
Having played WOW before, its very hard not to compare, just give us the linkable items in chat and a tooltip on the party healthbars showing class/level/location and all is forgiven.
So this new right is just yet another form of redistribution of the fruits of productive labor, and more Nanny Statism. Of course. And when you make getting the use of a dermatologist or an allergist a "right," this is exactly the sort of thing that comes next.
Pakistan taking out Youtube had absolutely nothing to do with DNS, they wrongly propagated a BGP announcement for the youtube IPs outside of Pakistan, so about 1/3 of the internet routed traffic into their black hole instead of to Youtube. Pretty effective blocking had they kept it internal, but they didn't.
I just checked, they could be unfriended, but if they both remain in the same public network (city usually) then they can still view profile/poke. Unless ofcourse there is some way of blocking a person completely that would override this.
And I for one am glad they stop people modifying the games I am playing online with them. Your right to modify ends the moment you join someone's game sever.
I am also prepared to trade resale for being able to just click a game on the list and have it download and just work 99% of the time. YMMV.

Didn't know Macs had Windows Media Player these days..

Really? I am running it just fine for bash/unixy tools/ssh client on x64 Win7 right now...

What's an incorrect answer anyway? To the TCP/IP connection I expect my ISP to provide there is nothing holy about ICANNS DNS root.
There is also a big button to enable it without the google toolbar, but in that case it only tracks searches, not every page you browse.

Open the games console and type /connect server3.leetclan.lol:37560 and you are good to go, master severs are for n00bs.
