Thunderbird - of add-on updates and dictionaries
Mon, 27 Oct 2008 11:16:31 +0000
I have the mozilla supplied version of Thunderbird and every time I get
a new update to any of my add-ons I find my English (GB) dictionary is
disabled and only my French one works. A restart of TB fixes it, but why
doesn't the English dictionary work by default following the
installation of new updates?
Does a ...

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 02:36:01 -0700 (PDT)
Hi All,
I'm getting lots of smartd errors:

stop using one or two of them. But ...

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:29:28 +0100
The Linux Foundation have tried to put a price on the development cost
of the Linux kernel and the whole of Fedora 9:

In praise of Windows
10 Oct 2008 19:54:28 GMT
There are only two things I like [or rather, don't vehemently hate] about
Windows: one is RDP, which is a nice WAN-compatible graphical way of
viewing applications on a remote Linux box, and having a semi-persistent
session. It's like VNC after a diet. NoMachine apparently comes close,
but is non-free so I'm y ...
