Can anyone offer some help on locking down Firefox on Ubuntu. I want to force a particular proxy, homepage and not allow bookmarks. I followed a Windows guide and ended up with a Mozilla.cfg file, under Windows this file is placed where the .exe lives but in Ubuntu the binary is in /usr/bin and the prefs files are in .mozilla and I'm not sure where to place the file and if it works in *nix.
I found that for locking the proxy and homepage setting you need to edit a mozilla.txt file to read something like:
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
lockPref("network.proxy.http", "10.40.0.6");
lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", 3128);
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 1);
lockPref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1, 10.40.0.0/8");
lockPref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://10.40.0.4");
then convert the file to byteshift 13 at http://www.alain.knaff.lu/%7Eaknaff/...gi/byteshf.cgi
rename the mozilla.cfg file to firefox.cfg and copy it to /usr/lib/firefox

Seven Questions for Karim Rashid
It's been a busy, brightly colored, organic-shaped summer for Karim Rashid. The designer has given lectures, made appearances, and occasionally DJ'ed in cities from Miami and Toronto to Hamburg and Ekaterinburg (Russia's fourth-largest city). On Friday he could be found in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where he keynoted the Construye & Remodela confab. Not that there's any shortage of stateside projects: Rashid was recently commissioned to design three Manhattan residential buildings, including a mixed-use project (20 apartments, with office and commercial space at the street level) located at 1633-1655 Madison Avenue. The concept is a continuation of Rashid's signature boundary-pushing, rooted in a desire to "bring a fulgent vibrancy to the environment and move away the trends away from tired archetypes and cold minimalism." He made time between groundbreakings, prototyping sessions, and DJ sets to answer our seven questions.
You recently lectured—and DJed—in Ekaterinburg, Russia. What is your impression of the state of design in Russia?
I have been to Russia 25 times and always love the country, the energy, the people, the intellectual spirit, the food, the sensibilities. In regards the state of design I have seen things change drastically since 14 years ago, but the problem is that Russia has not embraced the design phenomena enough, yet it is getting better and better. The condition is changing. In order to know Russian designers internationally they either work and develop brands in Russia—that become globally established—or work for foreign companies. And in all those trips very few Russian companies approach me to design for them.
Russia with all its diversified money, increasing incomes, intelligence, education, and manufacturing capability, lacks globally recognized brands. I always thought how fascinating it is that a country like Sweden has international brands like IKEA, H&M, Absolut, Volvo, and Voss with only a population of 7 million. Because of the size of Russia, companies were producing goods exclusively for their huge market and taking no impetus to export. Russia has the manpower and money to create major global brands. But times have changed and the doors to the West are open. I would love to see Russia build some very contemporary brands that contribute to our beautiful global consumer landscape.
I just completed the new OK.RU website [a popular Russian social media platform], and I am working on a shopping mall in St. Petersburg, an orange juice bottle, a cognac bottle, a tractor, and other projects in Russia, but I would love to design some hotels in every major city. There is a lack of design-driven boutique hotels in Russia.

Back up files vhd question
hello forum.
its the 1st time ive ever done a back up in my life,i bought an external hard as i was told to do so.my back up took like 70h or so....and i was freaking out if i did something wrong.
when i had clicked on my hd that contained all my images,programs,music etc etc,it said it was 280GB.
after the backup was completed(thankfully after 70h) i was trying to locate my backed up folders, s!but instead i found a file type: VHD with the size of 377GB!thats like almost 100GB more than the original folders. Now im reading on the internet that,thats where all the folders with my personal stuff is contained. So the question id like to as is,how on earth do i see all my folders as they appear on my other hard drives. Is this an easy task or something has gone wrong?
thank you.
|My System Specs

In my view this is way too big for a system image. But even then did you say 70 hours to complete??). This is not a viable option. You need to separate your large fairly static data files into another partition. You can backup the data partition in a number of different ways. Your OS and installed programs partition should be able to be imaged in not more than ~1 hour. This way you can do it more frequently and get out of trouble by doing an image restore.
If I understand this question correctly:
"So the question id like to as is,how on earth do i see all my folders as they appear on my other hard drives."
this tutorial may help

Hello MJF
thanks for the reply. As you may noticed i am a novice of pc and software, i dont have even the bacis knowlege, therefor my great mistakes on how to do things. Yep thats right 70h it took for the backup..
the reason why im doing a backup is because im resulting to a format of the c drive,where all the programs, users,downloads etc etc were stored. my c drive was 280GB in total(just the files and programs i was interested in keeping),all the rest id just delete when the time comes.
what id like to know is,this VHD file containing my files and programs,is it safe to keep in my external hard drive?
the link you sent me,will this take another 70h to uncompress that VHD file?or by following the steps,the folders appear as in a normal hard drive ie: music,images,programs, etc etc?
thank you again.
|My System Specs
|14 Dec 2012
oh no!thats why it took 70h and on,i did the attach VHD and when it created a new reference to the hard drive,i clicked onto the folder,and it not only had my documents i wanted to save,it had EVERYTHING on from my c hard drive,i was certain that i checked off the c drive>documents when asked what to back up,but it seems something went wrong,and the backup went and got everything from c hard drive,now that explains the 70h to backup. Am i thinking right here?

I followed the post on how to attach VHD file,and it managed to create another disc (j) and I saw my folders which I did a backup on. Didn't take long to do so. But what I'd like to ask is,once I turned off the pc and then open up again, that disc (j) was missing. So do I have to do the attach VHD each time to see my backed up files? Is there a way they can be left as folder permanently?
I got another reply from another forum stating:
You did not do a "Backup" - you created a System Image! To do a backup, launch the Control Panel / Backup and Restore. Now look at the items on the right side of the screen.
All i wanted to do is to get my important data like pictures,photos,programs,movies,music etc etc.
should i just have done a copy/paiste from one hard disc to another instead?than going through the trouble of backing up?

Written by Eric Holden Friday, 28 October 2011 00:00
There are three things you can count on seeing a lot of during late October in Levittown: school spirit, proud parents, and wins from the MacArthur Generals football team.
MacArthur High School played host to all three of the aforementioned items on Oct. 22, as the Generals (6-1) celebrated their homecoming with a 20-18 victory over the Oceanside Sailors (3-4). MacArthur, which extended its midseason win streak to six games, opened up a 14-6 lead by halftime on two rushing touchdowns from junior quarterback Gerard Cunningham. In the fourth quarter, Cunningham put another six points on the board for MacArthur with a one-yard quarterback sneak into the end zone for his third rushing touchdown of the game.
With less than two minutes remaining in the final stanza, MacArthur's defense made a key stop on a fourth down conversion by Oceanside to preserve the win. The Sailors were 22 yards from the end zone, but opted to go for it on fourth down instead of attempting a long-range field goal. Junior linebacker Joey Tangredi notched a team-high 17 tackles for the Generals.
"Overall, we got the job done," Cunningham said. "We had a couple costly turnovers, but our defense got the ball right back for us. If we beat Port Washington next week, it will earn us a home playoff game." With one game left to play in the regular season, MacArthur is one game behind the Freeport Red Devils for possession of first place in Nassau Conference I.
Prior to the game, thousands of spectators lined the sidewalks in front of MacArthur High School to cheer on the local clubs, which participated in the annual homecoming parade. Among the many groups and notable individuals that took part were the MacArthur High School Senior Band, MacEttes, Senior Cheerleaders, MacArthur Peer Leaders, Levittown Board of Education members, Superintendent James Grossane, MacArthur International Club, Art Club, Kickline, Senior Class Officers, Levittown District Central Office Administration and the Lady Generals Varsity Volleyball team.
The homecoming court included Alexa Cassamassino, Kristina Coiro, Lindsey McLaughlin, Shannan O'Mara, William Cheshire, Joseph Cataldo, Paul Cigna, George Wells, plus Homecoming King Kenneth Balling and Queen Casandra Hein.
"Homecoming is always a special day," MacArthur alum Evan Gardner said. "All the MacArthur graduates from past years always come out to the game, so it's really nice to see everyone. It's an event that brings the whole community together."

If you've been contemplating adding a furry little friend to your family, look no further.
Families have lost and found members with the help of social media and the Internet, but the experiences can be both disconcerting as well as heart-warming. Before the Internet, people searched for lost family members for years -- sometimes decades -- while others embarked on journeys to adopt children they weren't able to have on their own, both facing many obstacles and hurdles.
"How many bloody Gs are there?," asked a bewildered Ozzy Osbourne in one of the funniest Super Bowl commercials this year. You laugh, but he's not the only one who's confused about 4G technology. In fact, as you can see in the graphic above, when consumer electronics shopping site Retrevo conducted a "Gadgetology" study of the state of 4G in the United States, 34% of iPhone owners thought they already owned a 4G smartphone.
A new report from eMarketer finds that most adult Americans with Internet access use Facebook at least once a month, and a full 42.3% of the entire American population was using the site as of this month. By contrast, Twitter's penetration rate was much lower, sitting at around 7% of the total population and 9% of the Internet-using population, according to the report.
Everyone loves plush animals, everyone loves doing good and pretty much everyone loves Facebook. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has combined all three into Facebook's first ever non-profit gift center.

Handling and Performance
The RAV4 is a natural performer. It's designed to go anywhere and cope with anything. Toyota's advanced technologies ensure you have all the power and agility you need, while delivering surprisingly good fuel economy.
Driving Experience
RAV4 epitomises the SUV experience. Whichever model you choose, whether you go for turbo diesel or petrol power, you'll have all the muscle and agility you could need. And yet you'll also find yourself surrounded by the sort of creature comforts you'd expect from a premium vehicle.
Depending on which engine you choose, RAV4 is available in All Wheel Drive (AWD) or Two Wheel Drive (2WD). AWD models feature Active Torque Control, which automatically switches between front wheel drive and All Wheel Drive to help enhance drivability and handling on every road surface.
Petrol Engine
RAV4 offers a choice of two petrol engines - either 2.5L or 2.0L. Both are 4 cylinder engines with 16 valves, Double Overhead Camshaft and Dual VVT-i . All grades are available with a 2.5L engine, while the 2.0L engine is available on both GX and GXL grades.
RAV4 is available with a 2.2L diesel engine with intercooled turbocharger. As well as generating plenty of power (110kW at 3600 RPM) and torque (340 Nm between 2000 and 2800 RPM), the diesel option also offers excellent fuel efficiency.
Sports Mode
The multi-mode automatic transmission available on AWD automatic models features Sport shift. This is enabled when you move the gear stick into the S position which allows sequential gear shifting.
In addition, when the Sports Mode button is pressed, the AWD system adjusts driving and handling stability to suit sporty driving. This helps produce a more dynamic and highly responsive drive.
Towing Capacity
RAV4 is a tough and muscular performer offering a range of towing capacities depending on which engine and transmission type you choose.
Cruise Control
Cruise Control is standard across the RAV4 range. The system maintains a constant speed which can be set and adjusted through controls on the steering wheel.
Electronic Power Steering
Electronic Power Steering, which is more fuel-efficient than hydraulic power steering, is integrated into RAV4's Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system and is standard across the range.
Downhill Assist Control
AWD RAV4 models with automatic transmission are equipped with Downhill Assist Control (DAC) [G14] as standard. This technology helps you maintain a steady low speed on steep descents, even when the surface is slippery, by automatically applying appropriate brake pressure.
Hill Start Assist Control
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) is standard on all RAV4 models. This technology is invaluable when pulling away on steep slopes. It helps to prevent roll back by momentarily holding the car when you release the brake, giving you time to engage gear and pull away safely.
6-Speed Automatic
AWD RAV4 models are available with 6-Speed automatic transmission. This incorporates Artificial Intelligence Shift Control , which senses road conditions and driver intentions and optimises shift patterns accordingly.
For comfort and stability, RAV4's suspension features highly rigid 'L' armed, MacPherson struts in the front and a lightweight, trailing arm, double wishbone arrangement at the back. The suspension has been optimised to generate a comfortable flat ride, while delivering exceptional quietness and enhanced steering feel.
Automatic Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
RAV4 2WD models feature auto LSD technology to help control wheel spin and to enhance start-off performance on uneven or unstable road surfaces such as sand.
Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i)
Toyota engine system that provides continual variations of the intake valve timing to provide optimal valve timing for the full range of driving conditions. It improves driveability, performance and fuel efficiency, and reduces emissions. Dual VVT-i provides even greater improvement, by independently varying exhaust valve timing as well as intake timing. Image shown for illustration purposes only.
Cruise Control
Cruise control is a system that automatically assists to maintain the vehicle at a set, pre-determined speed. Mostly used for driving on open roads, it is easily disengaged by touching the brake pedal. Image shown for illustration purposes only. Specification may vary across models.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
System that ensures control in cornering situations the way ABS does under braking and TRC does under acceleration. The VSC system utilises electronic sensors in conjunction with the ABS and TRC hardware to help control any potential understeer or oversteer situations. Understeer is when the vehicle loses front-wheel traction and wants to push forward nose first. Oversteer is when the rear wheels lose traction and the tail begins to slide.
Downhill Assist Control (DAC)
Electronically controlled system designed to help prevent the vehicle slipping sideways during steep off-road hill descents. It provides "feet off" driving down a steep incline.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
Automatic function that prevents the vehicle rolling downhill when starting off. It is particularly helpful on low-traction surfaces and when driving off road. Image shown for illustration purposes only.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
Artificial Intelligence Shift Control (AI Shift Control)
One of the modern ECT features, it provides the ability to "read" the driver's intentions and to "read" hills, AI Shift Control is a transmission algorithm designed to manage the shift regime according to road conditions and driver behaviour. It uses data on accelerator pedal angle and rate of change, throttle angle and engine speed.
Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
A differential that limits the difference in rotation speed between the two wheels on the same axle to optimise traction. It prevents a wheel that has no grip from spinning excessively.

I bought one at a local gun show a few months back. Nice gun and everyone that sees and handles it likes it. Its light and very thin and seems to be built of soley polymer and stainless steel which should stand up to daily carry by a sweathog.
Very shootable. I reload my own rounds and I've loaded some pretty hot ones and the chrono shows the increased velocity but I do not notice any extra kick.
I have about 400 rounds through it and I can't remember it ever jamming. The only thing is that when inserting a full clip (7 rounds) you usually have to drop the slide in order for it to strip the first round and go to battery. Half the time if you rack the slide by hand the round hangs up on the feed ramp. If you insert the clip with only 6 rounds and rack the slide it goes to battery just fine. Maybe there is too much tension on the clip spring or the spring is binding. If I find a solution to this I will post it. Its not a big deal since I carry with 1 in the chamber and 7 in the clip anyway.
I have an ankle holster and with standard straight leg jeans it conceals just fine.
I would buy the gun again.

The Electronic Publishing Trust (EPT) award for individual effort in support of open access to scholarly publications in the developing and emerging countries for 2013 has been bagged jointly by Madhan Muthu, Manager, Library and Information Services International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru, Hyderabad, India and Rosemary Otando, Systems Librarian, EIFL Country and Open Access Coordinator at the University of Nairobi Library, Kenya.
Hearty congratulations to the winners!
Madhan has been an active OA advocate and practitioner for more than a decade now. He has been instrumental in setting up number of OA repositories in the country. The most popular one being Eprints@CMFRI of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) an establishment under Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
Madhan was also instrumental in initiating India's first open access mandate at the National Institute of Technology Rourkela (NITR), in 2006. The OA policy at the NITR has ensured that every scholarly publication from the institute will be part of the NITR repository.
His advocacy for OA mandate has had an influence on OA mandates of other institutions in the country. For example, he has played a significant role in convincing the Directorate of Knowledge Management in Agriculture (DKMA) of the ICAR to adopt OA mandate.
Madhan has also played a very significant role in the OA mandate initiation at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), a global partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for a food secure future.
Madhan's efforts in setting up number of institutional repositories in various research organizations in the country will, to some extent, facilitate better visibility to research done in those organizations. His efforts will also serve as a catalyst for other institutes and organizations to facilitate OA to their scholarly literature.
He richly deserves being the joint winner of this year's EPT award and I wish him many more laurels coming his way.
- Francis Jayakanth, JRD Tata Library, IISc

Three Acadiana cities are ranked in the top ten safest places to live in Louisiana. Jennings, Scott, and Breaux Bridge are all on Movoto Real Estate Blog's Safest Cities in Louisiana.
Based on the 2012 FBI Uniform Crime Report numbers in the following areas: murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, theft and vehicle theft
The crimes were then divided into the following categories: murders, violent crimes, property crimes and total crimes
Each category was weighed so that murders, violent crimes and property crimes accounted for 30% of the overall score, where total crimes made up 10%, since different crimes have different outcomes and dangers.
Once all the numbers were categorized, Movoto found crime rates per 100,000 people for each place, in order to fairly compare all cities. Each place was ranked in each category from one to 39, with scores closer to one being safest.
The numbers were averaged and rankings adjusted into one overall score, and the lowest total became the safest place.
1. City of Jennings
2. City of Scott
3. City of Baker
4. City of Plaquemine
5. City of Mandeville
6. City of Harahan
7. City of Zachary
8. Morgan City
9. City of Breaux Bridge
10. City of Westwego
Some might be surprised that Jennings is ranked as number one, but the editor of Movoto says, "The Movoto Blog is aware of the issues involving local law enforcement officials in Jennings, LA prior to 2012 when the crime data used in this analysis was collected. Our crime rate analyses focus on the most recent year of available FBI data only and do not penalize municipalities for crimes or other issues that transpire before or after the period studied."
From the Movoto Blog on each of the safest places:
1. Jennings
Safest Places in Louisiana
Source: Flickr user Peter Vidrine
If you're looking for a place to settle down, raise a family, retire, or just enjoy your life, you can safely do so in Jennings.
For starters, Jennings had no murders and no assaults reported in 2012, as well as no automobile thefts. Of course, there were a few other crimes reported, but there were very few indeed.
With one rape, nine robberies, 55 burglaries, and 250 thefts per 100,000 people, this is an amazingly safe little city.
If you still need more evidence, the chance of being the victim of a crime here is 1 in 317, and there's next to no chance it would be a violent one. You can bet that Jennings locals are sleeping peacefully tonight.
2. Scott
Safest Places in Louisiana
Source: City of Scott
Though not as big as first place Jennings, with only 8,776 residents, Scott still knows how to play it safe with that small-town vibe.
There were no murders reported in 2012, there was one rape and two robberies per 100,000 people, and there were also very few assaults. Is it any surprise that this place had the third lowest property crime and the seventh lowest violent crime on our list?
With the fourth lowest total crime, locals here have merely a 1 in 412 chance of being the victim of a crime, which is a great reason to call Scott home.
Scott was ranked the second cleanest city in the state by the Federation of Louisiana Garden Clubs recently, so this place has many selling points.
9. Breaux Bridge
Safest Places in Louisiana
Source: Flickr user Carol H
Breaux Bridge, also called Le Pont-Breaux, had some pretty stunning safety numbers.
No rapes were reported here in 2012, and merely three vehicle thefts, one robbery, and 15 assaults per 100,000 people were reported. In fact, this place had the fourth lowest property crime and the sixth lowest violent crime that we looked at.
There was one murder here, which is why it didn't rank higher on the list. Still, compared to bigger cities, where there were many that year, this place is a safe haven for all. In fact, if you lived there, you'd have only a 1 in 413 chance of being the victim of a crime.

We are in the early stages of the UH Sugar Land transition, and have begun implementing some of the strategic steps outlined on the Sugar Land transition webpage.
One of those steps – one that is of great importance to me – is my pledge to engage with faculty and staff of UH Sugar Land and UH-Victoria with transparent dialogue about the UH Sugar Land transition. To that end, I met twice this week with more than 160 faculty and staff to hear their comments, concerns and questions. Paula Myrick Short, senior vice chancellor for academic affairs for the UH System, joined me in these meetings.
Here is a summary of the key points of the discussions:
I am tremendously thankful and appreciative of the faculty and staff in Victoria and in Sugar Land who took the time to participate in these meetings and share their views. All who attended were extremely courteous, professional and visionary. I will give great consideration to their comments and ideas, and I look forward to receiving additional feedback as we continue to work together during this transition process.
With warm regards,
Renu Khator

I have been icing. I did have this treatment about 18 months ago and the Dr. thinks some filler was left over from first time, but not much. I do recall a similiar over swelling but this time it seems extreme. Im uncomfortable and feel unsightly. Please help me determine if I need to return to the Doctor ASAP or if I should wait another 24 - 48 hrs. I do recall more needle injections on the effected side, is this simply vascular trauma that will heal on its own?
Upper Lip Extremely Swollen on One Side 27 Hours After Juvederm Lip Injections. Normal? (photo)
Doctor Answers (2)
Swelling After Juvederm
You will probably experience some swelling, redness, discomfort and possibly bruising during the first few days following the injection. Most of this settles down within 3 days. Occasionally, the swelling can last up to one week. It is concentrated in the area of injection. Some tips to deal with the swelling:
- Cool, soft, flexible ice packs may be used (or small packs of frozen peas) to keep the swelling down. Place the ice pack on the treated area(s) for 15-20 minutes at a time, 3 or 4 times per day.
- Keep your head elevated and use several pillows at night to help diminish the swelling.
- Avoid exercising strenuously, going out into the sun, exposing yourself to cold, or drinking alcohol the day of the treatment.

Vote on the Best Celebrity Fragrance of 2009
Best of 2009: Celebrity Fragrance
by Beauty 23 Reactions 1 Shares Print
Despite the recession, the celebrity fragrance train shows no signs of chugging to a halt. This year, we saw launches from some well-established names, like Britney and Jennifer Lopez, but there were also a few surprises. (I never imagined that Halle would do her own scent). From department store counters to the drugstore aisle, celebrities were intent on having you smell like them in 2009. So, of the new star smells you've tried this year, which one was your favorite?

I tried Agatha by Lissa Liggett and it's actually, truly the Best Perfume I've ever worn! I LOVE LOVE LOVE her stuff because it's made wuth some kind of natural alcohol and there's nothing sinthetic in it so it lasts a really long time. I heard she's making something for a celebrity and I would probably try it even tho I hate celebrity perfumes cause they all end up stinking!

Whenever I'm in a fruity mood, I spritz on Britney Spear's Midnight Fantasy. Not a sophisticated scent, but I like it.

It's a tale that borders on urban legend, an encouraging yarn that sounds too good to be true. It involves a meeting between a determined group of advocates and a president eager to please but reluctant to go all in.
Sound familar?
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the president, and racial discrimination in the nation's armed forces and the burgeoning defense industry was the concern. The tale goes something like this:

My experiments with installing Ubuntu 13.04 (pre-release) with UEFI Boot
Summary: The Live image is Secure Boot compatible, but the installed system is not?
12 of 13Image
(Image: Screenshot by JA Watson/ZDNet)
User information
Finally, the last input screen. Here you enter the usual stuff — your full name and login name, the computer nodename, and your password. You can also choose automatic login on boot if security is not a concern for you.
(Image: Screenshot by JA Watson/ZDNet)
Installatoin progress
While you have been giving input in the last few screens, ubiquity has been chugging along with the installation. After you finish the last screen, you will join the installation in progress. The status bar at the bottom of the window will show how far along it is, and you will get a slide show of Ubuntu features while it finishes.
(Image: Screenshot by JA Watson/ZDNet)
Installation complete, reboot
When the installation is complete, I am prompted to reboot (or continue working with the Live system).
On both of my UEFI systems, I got the same surprise with Ubuntu that I had already gotten with openSuSE and Fedora — reboot didn't bring up Ubuntu, it still brought up whatever was booted before I did any of this (in most cases, this will be Windows 8).
Now, there may be other systems, from other manufacturers that do in fact get UEFI boot parameters set, stored and stable properly so that they boot Ubuntu, but that hasn't been my experience. Oh, and there is another even bigger problem...
If you still have Secure Boot enabled, which was the purpose of this exercise, then when you finally do try to boot Ubuntu (probably by pressing Boot Select), you are going to be very surprised to find that it doesn't boot.
At least, it didn't for me, on either one of my systems. What the heck is that about?
The Live image on a USB stick worked just fine with Secure Boot enabled, but the installed system won't? Really? I must be wrong about this. I must be confused. I must be doing something wrong. But I can't figure out what, and I have installed Ubuntu 13.04 quite a few times now over the past six weeks or so.
I keep thinking this is some kind of pre-release problem, and they will get it sorted out before the final release, but time is running out.
Anyway, although I hope that they get this working, if they don't then you will have to disable Secure Boot for Ubuntu. Note that this means only secure boot, it works just fine with UEFI Boot then, you don't have to go all the way back to Legacy Boot.
Oh, and one last note for others who might have a system with the same Ralink 3290 wi-fi adapter my HP has. Although it doesn't work with Ubuntu 13.04 out of the box (at this stage), it actually has the correct kernal and drivers, all that is missing is the firmware file. I was able to "cheat" and copy the file /lib/firmware/rt3290.bin from either openSuSE 12.3 or Fedora 18, and then after rebooting, it works just fine. If you don't have one of those distributions, I believe that you can pick up the firmware file from the Rallink web page.

Nicki Minaj Cancels U.K.Concerts Due To Vocal Chord Damage
It was only a matter of time till Nicki Minaj's vocal injuries would catch up to her.
After rocking the Today Show and a nearly two-hour show at the Roseland Ballroom in New York Tuesday (Aug. 14), the 'Beez In The Trap' rapper has pulled the plug on her London shows due to vocal chord damage.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Minaj's publicist says she "regretfully cancelled" her shows at the V Festival in England on Saturday and Sunday "due to strained vocal cords."
The rep adds, "Despite doctor's orders, she performed on a bruised vocal chord in (New York City) on August 14. As a result, the chord has gotten worse."
After an X-ray examination, her doctor has advised the femcee to rest her voice for the next several days.

A family of seven is homeless after a kitchen fire at their Chattanooga home last night.
Everyone in the house was safely out when firefighters arrived around 7:30 p.m.
Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames, and damage was contained to the kitchen. No injuries were reported.
Family members said a child left French fries cooking on the stove unattended, according to a news release. When the grease in the pan ignited, someone threw some water on it, making the fire worse.
Since power had to be disconnected from the house, the family has to stay elsewhere.

Champion Bulls appreciate challenge of three-peat
In 1993, Jerry Krause called Red Auerbach. And then he called Jerry West. What the Bulls' general manager wanted to know was why their teams had failed.
Of course, failure is a relative term, given that Krause hoped to pick the brains of those Hall of Fame executives for clues on how to win a third straight NBA championship. You know, to three-peat, just years after Pat Riley first trademarked the term.
Auerbach had done so as Celtics coach, winning a ridiculous eight straight titles from 1959-66 as one of just five teams in NBA history overall to achieve the feat. But as general manager, his Celtics fell short in 1970 after winning two straight titles, as did West's Lakers in 1989.
The Bulls know what the Heat are enduring in aiming for a third straight title. Their two three-peat teams from 1991-93 and 1996-98 formed one of the NBA's great dynasties. The Minneapolis Lakers from 1952-54 and Los Angeles Lakers from 2000-02 are the only other teams along with that Celtics' dynasty to three-peat.
The challenge is as much mental as it is physical.
"You can use that to your advantage or disadvantage," said Bill Cartwright, the starting center on the Bulls' first three-peat and an assistant coach for one of the second three titles. "You want to accomplish something or are you tired? You want to be a part of history or are you tired? You have such a great opportunity."
Cartwright spoke before the Heat fell into a surprising 3-1 hole against the Spurs. And nobody doubts the Heat's will or resolve. In fact, unlike, say the NFL's 1972 Miami Dolphins, there isn't much protecting of sacred ground among the three-peat Bulls, save for an inflammatory Horace Grant quote or two.
Instead, as players who went to three straight Finals, some genuine appreciation existed for a team making its fourth straight appearance.
"I enjoy watching them play," said Will Perdue, Cartwright's backup on the first three-peat team. "I guess being a player I look at it differently. But I don't get this significant hatred for the Heat. It's unfortunate because people don't always appreciate what they're watching. These players are so good and what they have been able to accomplish these last four years is impressive."
If the Heat becomes the first team in NBA history to rally from a 3-1 Finals deficit, their entry into such an exclusive three-peat club would be legendary and well-earned.
"I just want to see good basketball. That's all," Cartwright said. "And this series, there has been good basketball. These teams move the ball. They move themselves. They have good spacing. They execute plays. It's great to watch."
The Bulls played 58 playoff games in both three-peats. Sunday's Game 5 will be the Heat's 87th playoff game in their fourth straight NBA Finals appearance, something no team had accomplished since the 1984-87 Celtics. That's more than a whole extra season.
"The grind can wear on you," Perdue said. "You have to be mentally and physically prepared. And we were."
Indeed, beyond the Bulls bringing more bodies to training camp in October 1992 to limit practice and exhibition game repetitions for the principals, Perdue said coach Phil Jackson acknowledged the rarity of the potential accomplishment from Day One.
"Instead of going two-a-days that first month in October, we had one longer practice," Perdue said. "There would be some days where after we practiced, we would lie on the floor and turn the lights off in the gym and do breathing exercises. He was trying to find ways for us to conserve energy and change things up a bit."
Adding to the cumulative wear-and-tear, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen participated in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Pippen added the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. LeBron James played in the 2012 London Olympics.
That's a lot of basketball.
"Did you see LeBron in Game 3?" Perdue asked. "He didn't sit down on chairs during timeouts. He collapsed. That's what these guys are facing, the fatigue both mentally and physically."
It takes a special to team to overcome it and three-peat — or even have the chance to do so.

The Organizing Committee of the U-17 Sudamericano that is taking place in the cities of San Juan and Mendoza, Argentina confirmed the schedule for the April 9 matches.
Paraguay and Colombia played to a 1-1 tie in this Tuesday in the opening game of the South American Under 17 tournament. The tournament is being played in Argentina and will finish April 28th. The top four teams will receive berths for the Under 17 World Cup that is to be played in United Arab Emirates later this year.
Jesús Medina (62 minutes) put Paraguay on the scoreboard in a one-on-one play against the Colombian goalkeeper, but a quick answer by the team from the land of coffee tied it up when Gustavo Torres scored (63 minutes).
This game was part of Group A competition. Along with Paraguay and Colombia, the other teams in Group A are Argentina, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The game was played in Juan Gilberto Funes stadium in the city of La Punta, in the Argentinian province of San Luis. San Luis, 800 kilometers to the west of Buenos Aires is one of two sites where the tournament is contested, the other being Mendoza, which is 1100 kilometers to the west of the Argentinian capital.
Owing to a heavy rainfall had hit San Luis earlier in the afternoon, the field was in regular - but not excellent - condition.
Goalkeeper Victor Arboleda Murillo (Deportivo Cali) shined for the Colombian selection coached by Harold Rivera. He managed to prevent the competent Antonio Sanabria from scoring twice. Sanabria is one of several agressive forwards that Paraguayan coach Hugo Caballero has at his disposal.
In the second half of the game Jeison Angulo Trujillo, Andrés Tello, Alfredo Morelo and Marlos Durán (all of the Colombian team) recieved yellow cards, along with Omar Alderete (of Paraguay). All of the yellow cards were for rough play.
In the second series of games in Group A competition this Thursday, Paraguay will compete with Argentina and Colombia will have a bye.
On Wednesday in Mendoza Group B competition will begin. Group B members consist of Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Of these, Brazil is the favorite and looks to win its fifth consecutive title.

The selections of Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela, all members of Group A and rivals of Argentina in the first stage of the U-17 Sudamericano tournament have arrived in San Luis.
San Luis and Mendoza (Arg) only await the sound of the starting whistle, as the Under-17 South American tournament will be played in these two cities from April 2 - 28. The four best teams willl recieve entry into the Under-17 world championship which will be played in United Arab Emirates from October 17 to November 8.

A full set of diamond amour enchanted with Protection IV, but given the time it took to get that much diamond and enough XP for the enchantments, I might keep that for myself...

woah, yes, keep that for yourself!
I've been playing minecraft for over a year now, and I don't think I've ever found enough diamonds to make a set of armour. Mind you, I don't specifically go out looking for them or strip mining, but still... So the only thing I have ever made are picks, which I only use to mine obsidian
|14th March 2012, 04:30 PM

Wow that's a generous donation for a prize. We could also look at an entry free, let's say 1 diamond for example. Depending on how many people get involved that could amount to a nice "winner takes all" prize. And I don't think it's unreasonable to have an entry fee in an official competition.
Edit: It would solve Obsi' diamond armour drought if she won for instance
As for potential competition models (again depending on number) were you thinking traditional knock out/elimination style or a round robin/season approach with a leader board and final series. Either could be made to work, and as long as there was a referee games could occur when ever is convieient for the competitors involved.

Or a third idea (sorry for double posting, my phone is playing up):
Have an ongoing leader board with a challenge model of play where rankings are adjusted by recent performance. Think a cross between golf handicapps and Starcraft laddering. You simply throw down a challenge and get rewarded for beating higher ranked players. This idea would take some fleshing out but nothing a bit of casual math/spreadsheeting couldn't solve.

As I said initially, how any competitions are run would be up to the Spleef officer to work out. In fact whether there are actually competitions or just a time for a social spleef get-together (or both) is up to them.
And I wouldn't recommend entry fees etc. or else you will not encourage people joining it. Later perhaps, but not initially. The prize that Akira is willing to donate is great. Again, once we have a spleef officer we can consider whether prizes can be spawned or not (as was done for treasure in the treasure hunts and Australia Day event).
So the key is having an spleef officer. I am after volunteers, rather than trying to nudge specific people.
|14th March 2012, 06:23 PM
|#26 (permalink)
Fair enough about the entry fee, and I agree. I was getting all excited and thinking ahead to a major spleef torny. On that note I'd be happy to volunteer, sounds like a fun job really. But if Espeesh is also keen I'll defer given his multiple nominations and amazing stadium building skills.
|14th March 2012, 07:02 PM
|#27 (permalink)
Well, I'd say volunteering puts you ahead of nominees!
Also considering this post has been active a while and your the first (with some great ideas to boot) to put your hand up, I'd be happy to have you take the lead on this!
How 'bout posting up an end date for volunteers Sor?

There's nothing wrong with having 2 spleef officers, if we have more than one person interested. So I'd say volunteer away, if Espesh is interested, you can both have the role.
I too would not like to see an entry fee, especially not diamonds, or it could dissuade people from joining in.
