Slowly but surely, it seems that a few folks at Microsoft are starting to embrace open standards without the “extend and extinguish” afterwards.

At the command line: sudo a2enmod userdir sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload The first line enables the userdir module, which is installed by...

Windows and its user-friendly solutions
Next time you are subjected to an ignorant f-tard going off about how Linux sucks because “it’s like, sooo lame because you have to, like, use the command line and stuff,” show them this little gem of a user-friendly procedure that you get to follow when Windows barfs and loses your CD drive. You can no longer access the CD drive or the DVD drive, or you receive an error message...

Ubuntu Tip: How to Enable Wireless Drivers on a...
I was setting up my cousin’s new laptop, and decided to install Ubuntu in a small “emergency” partition at the end of the hard drive just in case Vista ever gets screwed up.  After the install, I noticed that the restricted video and wireless drivers needed to be enabled.  The video driver went off without a hitch, but after enabling the wireless driver ‘wl’ it still...

About Sarah Palin: an e-mail from Wasilla →
People around here seem to have fallen in love with Sarah Palin overnight since her speech at the convention.  This email from one of her fellow townspeople seems to support my gut feeling: that she’s more style than substance, and not really what you want waiting in the wings if McCain croaks.

7 Really Awesome Things About Google Chrome →
Chrome is very, very promising.  I’ve been using it for Gmail, Google Reader, and Remember the Milk for the last few days, and it screams through the copious amounts of Javascript they require. When they release a full-featured version, I will definitely think about switching.  If they can get a nice library of plugins together Firefox will have a legitimate competitor on their hands. I...

Founders Breakfast Stout →
Pours black.  Not dark brown, not deep red, black.  If you hold it up to a light bulb, it’s…black.  Completely opaque.  Flavor is coffee with dark chocolate.  I don’t care much for coffee, but the balance that the dark chocolate (which I love) brings makes this a tasty, tasty beverage. Note: this one got a 100% score over at Ratebeer.  We are seriously blessed with great...
