Good day,
When tested xmms on mp3, I was logged in as root.
As user it complains ..

Message: device: default
** WARNING **: Failed to open font: "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*".
** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No

As root it plays but..

set privoxy to rewrite http to https
by S Mathias
I use the
KB SSL Enforcer
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/flcpelgcagfhfoegekianiofphddc...
so i could browse the net safer [i mean webserver <-> me] with using https, if available.
The problem is: e.g.: facebook...
if i go to
https://www.facebook.com/
that's ok, it's https.
But all the links are "http" on the site..
if i click on a "http" link, it will request the page on "http", and THEN it switches to "https". Heres the problem.
How/where could i write a privoxy rule, to rewrite all the "http" links to "https"? [so that it would by always trully over https]
Are there any "general" rules (with privoxy), so that i don't have to write rules / site?
with the KB SSL Enforcer its always first http, then it recognizes that the site can do https, than it switches to it. But i want to "bypass" the http part.
thank you for any information
Happy New Year!

ergonomic typing enforcement
by David L
I just bought an ergonomic keyboard because my wrists are starting to hurt.
Now that I have one, I am trying to get rid of some bad habits that
I've developed
over many years. One such bad habit (according to some ergonomic typing web
sites I've seen) is using the same hand to key a modifier and a letter (eg:
left-control and f to move forward in emacs and shells). Is there a way to
make such key combinations simply not work in fedora? For example, can
I make it so left control plus [asdfzxcvbqwert] does nothing?
Thanks...

$ ASDF=hello; a=0; a=$(( 70 - $(echo $ASDF | awk '{print length}') )); echo "$a $ASDF"$(for i in {1..$a}; do printf "."; done)
65 hello.

Why doesn't it print:

Hi There,
I can only find Live CD installers for the Design Spin. Is there a
full-install DVD for individual spins - particularly the Design Spin?

avchd convert to play on ipod touch?
by Alex
Hi,
Is there a (free) program available for converting the MTS files from
my Panasonic camcorder to be useful on the ipod touch?
I've done some searching, but it appears the most common way is
through some commercial applications.
Thanks,
