I’ve been looking for a way to do this for some time now: scrolling unfocused windows, in Windows. You can do it with a Mac (movie here) and on Linux. I became accustomed to it after prolonged Ubuntu-use on my laptop. (It’s incredibly handy on lower resolutions too …
How can you do this (x is number of rows to fetch, y is offset) (Mysql):
SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT x, y
or this (PostgreSQL) :
SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT x OFFSET y
in a DBMS that doesn’t support LIMIT statements (take Oracle for example).
In Oracle, you can use …
The Internet is going crazy about some random number (and it’s not 23).
Apparently, typing out an hexadecimal value will get you killed / deleted / censored / jailed / destroyed / ignored / access to HD-DVD content. It goes something like: 09 F9 11 02. But it also has 9D 74 E3 5B …

The first problem was that X was freezing at random intervals. Xorg log mentioned nothing special, but the GDM log did:

Then that hack about your contact list getting stolen, try logging into Gmail and go to one of the following links:

sudo apt-get update …Just wanted to share this quick story: recently I had to install Oki C5700 drivers on an Ubuntu machine. A quick look at the web panel revealed that it was not supporting ipp (Cups). So you have to set it up as a Unix Printer (LPR).
After that it seems …
Recently we got a new HP Scanner. It’s a good, nice, and generally works without any complaints.
The scanner I used before was a crappy scanner with a no-name brand nobody knows, picked up for almost nothing at some cheapskate-store (since I very rarely need to scan something). The …
Today I finally decided to spend some time and try to install Neverwinter Nights on my laptop, since I absolutely still love that game. Of course: you could follow this howto, but since I don’t have NWN Platinum or Diamond, I had to follow other instructions. I didn’t …
