@Gilles say I want to copy text from a page and search for it in google. I need to 1. focus on the search/address text box in chrome 2. select all text already there 3. Clear that text and 4.middle click paste
With the extension, I just need to 1. Click a button to clear the field 2. middle click paste
I have a right click context menu "Spell Checker Options" but when I change the language there, it only affects newly opened pages. Not the one I'm on.
I came across a problem of calculating 100 factorial.
Here is what I tried first in Perl to calculate 100! :
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Math::BigInt;
my $n=<>;
chomp($n);
print fac($n);
sub fac
{
my ($m) = @_;
return 1 if($m <=1 );
return $m*fac($m-1);
}
But...
@Braiam not on chrome, works as soon as I place the cursor behind a word in another language. Anyway, refreshing is not enough, I had to actualy duplicate the page in a new tab
I want to move all my 14.5 TB of media drives (not OS) to a combined LVM file system due to constant problems arranging things to fit into multiple smaller file systems.
My question is if after setup any of the 6 drives moves to a different location (/dev/sd*), is that going to be a problem? I h...
I have the CDs under control. I can stop whenever I want.
actually, the bottom cases are apparently empty. but the paper cases all have discs in them
@slm I've got various Ubuntu releases, dating back to 8.04. I've got various betas and alphas; most are Ubuntu but a couple are [KLX]ubuntu. I even have a couple Ubuntu Netbook Remix images
I've got about 5 Arch images, and just as many Plan 9 images, plus one 9atom image (9atom = Plan 9 plus some nice patches). miscellaneous things include Ultimate Boot Disk 5.0 (plus a second copy labeled "?"), Super GRUB Disk, a factory setup disc from my old laptop, Cute Partition Manager, a Gentoo image that was the wrong architecture, and OpenSolaris (apparently this never booted on my laptop)
I can't even tell you what some of those are anymore
I am attempting to add some config changes to Bash and repackage it as an RPM in CentOS x86. This is not something I've done before, so I'm at the mercy of info I've found around the internet.
I am at the point where I have created my .spec file, and am attempting to run the following command:

@slm <troll>jealous of a laptop which, instead of dealing with problems gradually and only one at a time (i.e. in a controlled environment), just says "ok, I'm gonna upgrade now. please stand by while all hell breaks loose"?</troll>
I copied my 5.25 floppies to 700MB to 1.4MB to zip drive to CD to DVDs....
I used to take the 5.25's and use a hole punch to make the double sided!
and used to use a program called FID to copy files onto Apple IIe...
my poor brother who is only 7 yrs. older used to write programs on paper tapes...he became a dr. as a result, and I was young enough to avoid the pain of that and use cassettes (audio) tapes to store programs which wasn't so bad.
@Gilles - you know so much. Never used the command unicode before!
I don't know that much about unicode, is UTF-16BE what MS uses?
linux uses utf-8, right?
among others
and UTF-8 is designed so that the original ASCII codes are a subset within UTF-8.
$ unicode a U+0061 LATIN SMALL LETTER A UTF-8: 61 UTF-16BE: 0061 Decimal: a a (A) Uppercase: U+0041 Category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase) Bidi: L (Left-to-Right)
Yesterday, I have deleted 71 GB of files on my home/media server.
Free Space before: 117 GB
Free space after: 126 GB
So, instead of having 71 GB of additional free space, I only had 9 GB. I have double-checked that no files were open and I really have deleted 71 GB and free space really increase...
So, it'll grab some value off the stack (anywhere, as of course you've discarded as many as you want by using other % things), treat it as a pointer, and spew a value you have a lot of choice over there.
which, I'll mention, can apparently actually be done on an actual SNES, not just an emulator. You have to have perfect timing of course (so, realistically, you use a computer to feed the SNES controller input)
@derobert actually, I have a lot more confidence in GNOME nowadays. I've been reading Planet GNOME for a while, and people are aware of the outreach/feature deprecation issues and are trying to do better
@strugee weren't you the one who posted a link to a long blog post with excerpts from the Gnome mailing list talking about "projecting our brand" and other such marketingspeak?
I have hosted my website on a virtual machine inside an intranet and set a (sub-)domain name to it. Initially when it was set up, it was accessible from the Internet, with the subdomain name.
However, it suddenly stopped being accessible from the Internet but is still accessible in intranet. Wha...
