Do check it out. Though I do not completely agree with the link (primarily because I do not understand all of it in depth).

Lately I have been seeing firefox giving error that your javascript is turned off or you are not using latest version of Flash player (and hence download one).
I don't why this is happening but apparently if you clear firefox cache (and cookies may be) it works well. Youtube videos starts playing video again. I am investigating.

The idea is that you have a problem to fix and you don't want to play with your system. VirtualBox gives you ability to have another OS run (now onwards Guest OS) on your top your OS (now onwards Host) on which VirtualBox (now onwards VB) is installed.
Problems where you don't need networking support to solve issues, it is straightforward. When you need networking support, it is little tricky. I will mention here one way which worked for me.
I will post more details shortly. It's been pending for past 2 months now.
Happy Debugging

Thi s is for those who write travelogues. It is very nice to get review of the places you visit but I have a suggestion.
When you write a travelogue, please also mention some handy contacts which you make at that places. It helps reader if they want to visit that place because they get some contacts to arrange things or at-least to get information.

If you like to listen to these, this surely best of the lot. I highly recommend following
Sri Ramnam Sankirtan
(Sanskrit)
By Swamis and Brahmacharins of Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai
Sung on all ekadasi days at all centres of Ramakrishna Math
Link : https://www.sriramakrishnamath.org/books/EList.asp?ProductType=AB01 (second cd from top)
Moreover there are sample for you to listen
Happy Listening

I got this from Jan Parcel, a sun colleague. I think it is quite useful
In most cases step 3,4 and 5(svcadm enable rlogin) suffice.
1. Keep root as a user (it can ALSO be a role, you can add it as a role to
users without making root a role.
(by adding roles=root to the user's line in /etc/user_attr)
2. Keep 0.0.0.0 as admin_low in /etc/security/tsol/tnrhdb
3. As with all Solaris systems, comment out the CONSOLE entry in
/etc/default/login
4. Make these changes to /etc/pam.conf:
-- add information to allow rlogin, note USE TABS not spaces.
Modify /etc/pam.conf
From: other account requisite pam_roles.so.1
To: other account requisite pam_roles.so.1 allow_remote
From: other account required pam_tsol_account.so.1
To: other account required pam_tsol_account.so.1 allow_unlabeled
5. As with all Solaris systems, re-enable rlogin via svcadm, or just reboot.
I always reboot.

I recently discovered a new and very nice way of downloading videos from net. Download real player 11. It would ask your permission for installing some sort of a tool or plugin for firefox. That would enable you to download video just by taking your mouse over to top left corner of the video. Click download and boom! It would start download and store the video on your machine. It is in flv format and I am not sure if there is any other format available.
Check out real player
The video is here

you may ask why would I blog about this. The answer is simple. People who are new to Unix based systems do not know about it.
ls as everyone knows is a command to list files and directories. Anyone could create a alias for ls so as to customize it, a typical example being [ alias ls='ls --color=auto' ]
Now there are situations where you would like that when you say ls, it should run the ls command as decided by $PATH varilable and not run any alias that you have created. For Ex, you are one a terminal and color display is difficult to read. you dont want remove the alias for this one-time situation. \ls comes to your rescue then. It would run ls as determined by $PATH and does not take into account aliases that have been created.
As you must have guessed, this applies to any command.

I just noticed that too many people have been asking for it. Unfortunately current good search do not give back pertinent results. Here is what it takes to attach to Netbeans debugger to a Java Process.
a) The Java process should be started with a provision to enable a debugger to attach to it. A Java program should have following options.
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8800,server=y,suspend=y
Ex :
1) java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8800,server=y,suspend=y SomeProgram
2) For a java program which is started from a shell
java \
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8800,server=y,suspend=y \
SomeProgram
If you say suspend=y, then the process would not start unless you attach debugger. Sometime you just want to start the process and want to connect to it, when there is a problem. In that case, you could start it in suspend=n mode. Then the process would start as normal. You could anytime connect to the process via a debugger and see what it is doing.
Also look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/solaris/jdb.html for more info on these parameters
b) Attaching netbeans to the Java process
Click Run->Attach debugger. Select dt_socket. Give the hostname and give the port to connect to. That's it you are done.
Happy Debugging. Don't foget to compile your java code in debug mode (-g) to get maximum information out from the running java process.
Cheers

May be we can start using an alternate homepage of google than the regular google.com
the new page has black background. Reason: white colour display consumes more energy than black colour background.
Here is what celine posts on her site.
Black Google Saves Energy
by Celine Ruben-Salama, New York, NY on 05. 7.07
A few months ago, TreeHugger Mark Ontkush wrote a post on his blog EcoIron titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year.
The post lays out the following train of thought. "An all white web
page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only
59 watts." Google, which has a white background and gets about "200 million queries a day"
could reduce global energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply
changing the color of its homepage to black. (For more detailed
calculations and assumptions check out the original post here.)
In response to this post a black version of Google emerged called Blackle.com. According to Blackle's homepage at publication time, 4,408.917 Watt hours have been saved by. The site encourages users to "make a difference today [by] ... Blackling "energy s avi ng tips" or visit[ing] treehugger.com a great blog dedicated to environmental awareness." Nice ideas. But how does the search me asu re up? Very well indeed. Give it a whirl yourself and start s avi ng energy one search at a time. :: Blackle.com
Here are some links
1) It lists how much watt every color takes

2)A popular blog following these recommendations

Yes! This is what one of the headlines of Time Of India read. Looks like the elections are not to get a new President to but get Mush re-elected as President so that he can put a stop on people from crying foul and saying he is a dictator. Or it is media which claims that the election is a just to fool people into believing that Mush is not a dictator but has been rightfully chosen the people.
Who knows, but it is interesting to follow media.

Yesterday I was looking for some tool which can overburn cds. cdrw does not allow to overburn. Then I found cdrecord. I struggled for quite some time to figure how to burn a iso file using cdrecord. The issue what that device name has to be given to cdrecord, even when there is only 1 cd/dvd drive. Why should that be required? cdrecord should be intelligent enough to do scanbus on his own and pick up the device. If there are more than 1 devices then give user a option to pick up the device. It makes life easy for people.
Guess what? It did not burn 3 of my cds correctly and I had to throw them. Today when I checked the cd which was supposedly burnt successfully by cdrecord, I discovered that it was also not burnt correctly (it was a fedora installation disc and I checked it via Media Check utility of Fedora). I finally had to burn other mechanisms.
I am disappointed by cdrecord. It ought to be improved.
