FireFox 3 and back

September 5, 2008 - 9:06pm
Submitted by shuaib on September 5, 2008 - 9:06pm.

Upgraded to Firefox 3, and downgraded back in an hour. Why? Because the native look and feel of FireFox 3 was making me suffocate. It may have been working fast, may have been consuming less memory, but it did remind me of the good old Konqueror as a web browser, which I never liked. FF3's font rendering on Linux platform is simply unimaginably awful.

Changing the Default Orientation of a JPEG-EXIF File.txt

When browsing a bunch of pictures with Kuickshow, I always saw that all pictures were correctly oriented for display. The pictures that were taken by rotating the camera 90 degrees from its natural position were displayed by Kuickshow in the right orientation so that I did not have to re-orient the pictures manually.

Is open source software safer?

Do you think that open source software is safer?

I think that most open source software are probably less safer than commercial software, the big difference is that most attackers focus their efforts on commercial software

Someone posted such a question here.

Personally, I started to hack the Linux kernel when developing a new networking suite called the ATN TP4/CLNP Networking Suite for use with GNU/Linux systems in the aeronautical industry. So, I have some suggestions here.

"Stable" kernel 2.6.25.7 released debate on LWN.net

IT bubble days are over. Linux kernel (almost the only useful FOSS thing left) tries to not loose it's volume.

Developers do what they do on limited resources, using dumb tools or no tools at all, saving buzz-hype using PR fuzz. It is a social and economical problem, not a technical and/or ethical one.

OK, finally my stone to "The art of thinking in `make` and C". Hope, it's constructive.

It turned out that any wireless Ethernet card's device driver in a non-promiscuous mode does not drop any Ethernet frame with the following destination MAC address:
YY:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, where YY is an odd number (e.g., 0xE1, 0x11, 0x01, etc.)
