Well if you are typing STARTX as above it will never work. Try startx
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
If what Archangel-Amael suggested does not work, try typing:
or:Code:dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

So, what is the average time frame of a release after they talk to the retailers? Perhaps the Galaxy 3 release has forced Apple to release before October? That would be smart. I, myself have been contemplating jumping to SG3. If I dont have to wait 4 more months for the iphone, I might just stay with apple.
The wait for this iPhone seems the longest due to the lacking updates in the 4s and recent release date change to the holiday versus spring/summer
iPhone 5, just slightly larger...
I love the loyalty here haha! "If Apple doesn't drop the next iPhone, Im jumping ship and going with the competition" You should all be ashamed. The iPhone 4S is solid and doesn't lack anything that I can think of other than NFC technology. With the new iOS 6 coming the next iPhone is going to be pretty sweet. I was doubting iOS 6 at first but after further reading, I think it will be awesome! I will wait for the next iPhone and not come on an Apple blog talking about moving to an Android as if anyone cares haha!
I am no fanboy of Apple, nor am I a Fandroid. I have never owned an Android phone. I did buy an Android tablet though because I thought it would be dumb to pay $600 for a giant iPhone. Many nights I wish I would have gotten an iPad instead, but just as many nights, I am happy with my purchase.
If people buy whatever Apple puts out just because it has an apple logo on it, then why would Apple make big changes and improvements each year? That would be dumb business. If people will buy your device each year with hardly a difference in models, you would be stupid to not cheat the customer.
With Android, there is choice. You can choose between a huge number of phones.There is no "One size fits all" attitude. You can pick between small, medium, large, and extra large screens. You can pick by which has better battery life. You can pick a device that can swap batteries or not. You can choose between which has a better camera. You can choose between shapes and sizes. You can choose between manufacturers. With Apple, the only choice you have is this years model or a previous model (that will soon be outdated and no longer receive updates).
I LOVE my iphone. It has soooo many advantages over Android, but I am just sick of how Apple treats its customers. Again, Fanboys are to blame. And just because someone doesnt worship Apple and Steve Jobs, doesnt mean they do not enjoy iPhones and shouldnt be aloud to post on an iPhone website.
you guys don't forget that everyone else had to develop something big and new. the iphone was the best smartphone, and the next will beat the competition again. I doubt that the next Samsung Galaxy will be such a big leap from the S3, as it will be hard for them to beat their own phone.
and back to the topic, according to an apple dealer here next week or the week after on tuesday there will probably a release of updated iMac's, so in part that could be one of the reasons for the event on Sunday!

WATCH: Dave Mustaine promotes Megadeth's new album with Men's Wearhouse parody
Listen to Megadeth on iHeartRadio
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine is working with Kenny G to promote his band's latest album. The two are featured in a new Funny Or Die parody of the Men's Wearhouse TV ads, featuring Mustaine telling the story of Keith.
As the clip continues, Mustaine explains that the people at "Megadeth Warehouse" were able to set Keith up with the band's new album, Super Collider, which gave him the confidence he needed to nail the interview.
Keith also discovers his new boss is a Megadeth fan as well, but becomes a bit unnerved when the boss starts showing off his Megadeth tattoos. Kenny G contributes to the clip's soundtrack, and exchanges barbs with Mustaine once they've finished the "taping."
The Funny Or Die clip also gives Mustaine a chance to poke fun at a retailer with whom he's had a grievance. Over the holidays the rocker used Facebook to sound of against Men's Warehouse when the company didn't come through as guaranteed on a gift certificate delivery. The company responded to Mustaine's post with an apology and a promise to make things right.

'The Lion King' Turns 20: Every Crazy, Weird Fact About the Disney Classic
It's been exactly 20 years since The Lion King opened in wide release.
That means it's been two decades since those first chills we got watching the "Circle of Life" opening sequence, launching years of perfecting our own made up gibberish while attempting to sing along to the Zulu lyrics. It's been 7,300 days since we first cried all those tears as Simba watched Mufasa fall to his death. And it's been 175,200 hours since we first grappled with loathing Scar's evil nature while delighting in Jeremy Irons' delectable voice work.
That's not to mention, either, the immeasurable time spent since our first screening dutifully spreading the word of Timon and Pumbaa's it's-all-good mantra, hakuna matata.
If you've seen The Lion King once, you've seen it dozens (and dozens) of times, because there's no way to stave off the addicting charm offensive that is Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton's crackling Hamlet-meets-Bambi script; Elton John and Tim Rice's Oscar-winning original songs; and the host of iconic voice performances, from James Earl Jones to Nathan Lane, each perfecting that balance of humor and heart. There's no reason, then, to mark the occasion of the film's 20th anniversary—dear god, we're old—by telling you how good the movie is. You've seen it countless times; you know.
So instead, we searched the Internet for as many (substantiated) behind-the-scenes stories and trivia that we could find about the film's surprising development process and blockbuster cultural and commercial impact. Here's 35 of the strangest, wildest, and most interesting bits of info we could find:
1) Pumbaa was the first Disney character to ever fart on screen. This is probably the most important fact on here.
2) The Lion King was originally titled The King of the Jungle. Blessedly, someone realized that lions don't actually live in jungles, and so the title was changed. The tagline still lived on in some of the film's marketing, though. Whoops.
3) If you were in grade school around the time The Lion King was released, you probably lost yourself in giggle fits every time the Savannah's Three Stooges—hyenas Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed—came on screen. Initially, however, the trio was written with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong in mind to deliver Shenzi and Banzai's repartee. The famed comedy duo, however, wasn't working together at the time, and the reunion wasn't in the cards. Whoopi Goldberg was then cast as Shenzi opposite Marin's Banzai, and the rest is hilarious history.
4) Off-screen, there was even more drama when it came to those hyenas. Biologists were not pleased that they were portrayed as villains in the film. One researcher, in defense of the animals, even sued Disney for defamation (PDF) of character. Another, displeased with how the film would affect the hyenas' reputation, listed boycotting The Lion King among things people could do if they want to help preserve hyenas in the wild.
5) Actors James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair provided the regal voices for Mufasa and Sarabi, the respective King and Queen of the Pridelands and Simba's parents. Their royal chemistry shouldn't be a surprise, though: They also voiced the king and queen in Coming to America.
6) The Lion King got majorly shafted by Disney's creative team during development. Pocahontas was being produced at the same time and everyone who worked for the studio was more bullish on that project, thinking that the historical roots of the film would make it the more likely to succeed. As such, Disney's top animators actually worked on Pocahontas, and not The Lion King.
7) There's a playground legend that, in a scene where Simba flops on the ground, the dust kicks up around and forms the letters "SEX" in a cloud above him. Well, turns out it's just that: legend. Producers later admitted that there are letters in the dust cloud, but they actually spell "SFX," a nod to the special effects team that worked on the movie.
8) Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella, who voiced Timon and Pumbaa, actually wanted to play two of the hyenas. The actors were starring together in Guys and Dolls on Broadway at the time, and ran into each other at the voice audition and convinced the casting director to let them audition as a pair. Their chemistry killed so much that it was decided they would be a far better fit as the famous meerkat-warthog duo.
9) This was the first full-length animated film to be created from an original script idea. OK, there are definitely elements of Hamlet in there. But it was still the first animated Disney movie to not be based on a book or a familiar fairy tale.
10) During early stages of the story creation, the plot was described as "'Bambi in Africa' meets Hamlet," or Bamlet for short.

Remembrance Day 2009
Address by General Peter Cosgrove AC MC (Ret'd)
Check against delivery
Today marks the ninety-first anniversary of the Armistice on the Western Front. As we remind ourselves each year, at this hour on the 11th of November 1918, the guns fell silent. Four years of war had come to an end.
It became known as the Great War, and for good reason. Its scale was unprecedented. It sparked the mobilisation of 70 million people across many nations. Its violence shattered great empires. Its images have never lost their power. To a great degree those images of the muddy moonscapes of the Western Front have served to define, for succeeding generations, the horror of war.
It was the costliest conflict in history up to that time. Thirteen million people died, nine million of them combatants. Over one-third of all the soldiers killed were "missing", or had no known graves.
Three hundred and thirty-two thousand Australians fought in the Great War with the First AIF. Sixty thousand died, 45,000 of them on the Western Front, and 152,000 were wounded. Those grim statistics meant that only one out of every three Australians who went to the war got through it unscathed, at least physically. With a population only of about four million, Australia had, proportionate to forces fielded, the highest casualties in the British Empire.
For the Australians at the front, the Armistice came as a reprieve. Not for them, though, the celebrations that erupted in the cities of Australia and the other victorious allied nations as the news spread. Too many of their mates had been killed. "One sits and ponders sadly of those many pals who are gone to that home from which no wanderer returns," lamented Corporal Roger Morgan of the 2nd Battalion.
As the men of the First AIF had no home leave almost until the end of the war, they consigned thoughts of home and family to the back of the mind, and a man's mates became his chief reason for being. "For all the dreadful implications of war, it is something to have known men as they truly are", wrote Captain Edgar Rule of the 14th Battalion.
Men would rather die than let a mate down, observed the Australian official historian, Charles Bean. Mateship, and the deep loyalty it bred, gave the AIF the strength to endure the terrible ordeal.
It was embodied in the early days on Gallipoli by Private John Simpson Kirkpatrick, who brought wounded down from the line on a donkey until he was killed barely a month after he arrived on the peninsula. It was expressed by Trooper Humphrey Hassall of the 10th Light Horse. "Goodbye, Cobber, I don't think I'll be coming back from this one," he said, before charging to certain death at the Nek.
On the Western Front, on Gallipoli and in the desert, the Australians encountered the mass killing power of modern industrial warfare. But in battle after battle it was not powerful enough to threaten the bonds of mateship that held them together.
At Fromelles, where over 5,500 Australians became casualties in a single night, their mates scoured no man's land for days afterwards to recover the wounded. At Pozières, where the Australians withstood some of the heaviest prolonged shelling of the war, Private Edward Jenkins, a renowned troublemaker in the 3rd Battalion, brought in the wounded and gave them his water until an exploding shell obliterated him. At Polygon Wood, Captain Harold Wanliss of the 14th Battalion, whom many viewed as a potential Australian prime minister, was killed while trying to help a wounded man.
A famous biblical passage captures this spirit. It says: "A man has no greater love than this, than that he lays down his life for his friends". Few would disagree with it. I think there is a corollary that few would disagree with either. It is this: "A man has no greater love for his country than that he lays down his life on its behalf".
Australia's First World War dead fell for a cause that some people today criticise as futile, as having little to do with Australia. The men of the First AIF knew otherwise. They knew that if the struggle were lost, then Australia would be a very different place. They knew that future Australians would not be able to rejoice that their country was free and its destiny theirs to determine. They knew that tyranny successful somewhere eroded freedom everywhere. Volunteers all, they fought and died to prevent that happening.
And through the pivotal role that the Australian Corps played in the advance to victory on the Western Front in 1918, Australia influenced the destiny of the world for the first time in our history, and arguably more than at any other time since.
The First World War was supposed to have ended all wars. The ninety-one years since the Armistice bear eloquent and sad testimony to how illusory that hope was. Those years have seen war after war, campaign after campaign, and thousands more Australian war dead. But, in every instance, those Australians held to the same twin ideals, mates and country – mates and country – as those who went before them. Let me mention a few.
Terribly wounded by anti-aircraft fire over Italy during the Second World War, Pilot Officer Rawdon Middleton, one mission way from completing his tour, flew his crippled bomber all the way back to England and held it steady while his crew parachuted to safety. He knew he could not escape himself. Middleton was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross.
Lieutenant Tom "Diver" Derrick of the 2/48th Battalion had won the Victoria Cross in New Guinea and the Distinguished Conduct Medal in the Western Desert. Already well-known in Australia, he was withdrawn from combat in 1944 but insisted on returning to action with his mates in Borneo in May 1945. There, with the end of the war in sight, he was killed.
Leap ahead twenty years to 1965 and the jungles of Vietnam. Warrant Officer Kevin "Dasher" Wheatley of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam refused to leave a wounded mate and died in action alongside him. "Dasher" Wheatley was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross.
In the Korean War and the Malayan Emergency, and during Confrontation, Australians also gave their lives for mates and country. Like their forebears in earlier conflicts, they were determined not to let either down.
Our war dead are scattered across far flung lands. They lie in over a hundred cemeteries or are remembered on just as many memorials. Their names, more than 102,000 of them, are on the Roll of Honour that lines the cloisters of this hallowed building behind us.
Five names have been added today. Lieutenant Michael Fussell of the 4th Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (Commando), Private Gregory Sher of the 1st Commando Regiment, Corporal Mathew Hopkins of the 7th Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment, Sergeant Brett Till of the Incident Response Regiment, and Private Benjamin Ranaudo of the 1st Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment. These five Australian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan in the continuing fight against international terrorism. It is a war that we, and our allies, must win but the road to victory will be a long one. We remember today as well those currently serving on that road and the perils they face.
Other Australian servicemen and women have died in commitments that were not warlike, such as peacekeeping or humanitarian operations, or as members of post-conflict occupation forces. They are commemorated in the Australian War Memorial's "Remembrance Book".
Every one of the names on the Roll of Honour and in the Remembrance Book represents a husband, father, son or brother taken; a wife, mother, daughter or sister gone. Their lives were precious: to their families, to Australia and above all, to those who gave them. They never had the chance to grow old, or to watch those dear to them grow old.
Their loss is a reminder that there is nothing glorious about war. Those called upon to fight know that better than anyone. But they also know that, when all else fails, it is necessary to fight against the tyrannies that threaten liberty. That cause transcends the ages, and it is a noble one. So we also recall today those who have fallen for our allies in fighting for it with us.
It is highly appropriate that we should gather in this place at this time. In writing of our war dead, Charles Bean said of the Australian War Memorial, "Here is their spirit, in the heart of the land they loved". It is here that we sense their presence. It is here that their call to us to build a nation worthy of their sacrifice is heard at its loudest.
In these days of great uncertainty, those words are clarion call for all Australians. Strengthened by those mighty pillars of mateship and country that sustained them, and led them, as ordinary Australians, to achieve great things, we must not let them down.

Here's one question you won't find in the Trivial Pursuit board game: Where did Bobby McFerrin decide he wanted to be a singer?
The answer is Salt Lake City.
A decade before the worldwide success of his a cappella hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy" McFerrin found himself in Salt Lake City needing work. He moved to the city in the late 1970s to play in a nightclub house band. But the job didn't pan out.
Newly married and cash-strapped, McFerrin got a job as a piano accompanist in the University of Utah's department of modern dance.
It was during that gig, while watching the dancers, that the pianist began to sing in earnest, learning about how to use his body as an instrument from student dancers.
"That's when I realized I was really a singer. It was March 11, 1977," McFerrin told The Tribune in an email interview. " I was walking home from playing a dance class and suddenly, I got it. I went home and looked in the phone book for the number of a local hotel lounge and by the end of the week I had my first gig as a singer."
It was the Hilton Hotel that hired him, and the rest is history.
During that time in Salt Lake City, he met dancer and choreographer Tandy Beal. 'She's remained a touchstone in my life, one of my favorite collaborators," McFerrin said.
The singer returns to Utah on Monday for a performance at Weber State University in Ogden.
He answered questions about his career and his forthcoming album "spirityouall," due out in May.
When you talk to students, what advice do you give them?
Sing for 10 minutes every day. No matter what. Don't listen to other singers for a few years it's too hard to hear your own sound. Learn some Bach. Here's what I like to tell everybody: Remember that all of life is improvising. Don't forget to play. Get right with yourself and the people you love and the people you work with and the music will benefit.
You have said that you want everyone to experience a "sense of real joy" and "grace" at the end of a concert. How do you define that?
I'm very lucky. I don't try to define them. I try to live them, musically and personally. I seek them out. I encourage others to seek them. I think that's my mission as a concert artist, though I hope it doesn't sound too pretentious. I am instigating joy and grace wherever I can.
How does "spirityouall" honor your father?
This album is so deeply connected to my father, but it's also so far from anything he ever would have done. The discipline and purity with which he approached the craft of singing imprints everything I do. And I had the incredible chance as a child to hear Hall Johnson (an authority on spirituals and the grandson of a former slave) coaching my father on how to sing the spirituals, telling him about pronunciation and floating around the beat. Really incredible. But I could never have tried to make an album singing these songs the way my father sang them. I couldn't do that nearly as well as he did. I had to find my own way.
How can music help us through life's trials and triumphs?
I just think we sing our way through. If I get onstage and I feel angry at something, the more I sing the more that feeling gets worked out. I can't hold on to it. When I'm done I feel better. There's no better example than the spirituals of singing through trials and tribulations, sending coded messages, talking about pain and hope and life or death situations, calling up all our strength to get to a better place. We just sing our way to a better place.
Are there spirituals that lift you up, personally?
Absolutely. Every song on this new album does that for me. And there are lots more. I'm an improviser, so I always think you know in the moment what song you need to sing, what song you need to hear. Sometimes it's a song you've known all your life. Sometimes you need to make it up as you go along.

GSA Awards Connections Contract
January 31, 2003
Contact: Mary Alice Johnson, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON - The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced the award of 17 contracts under the Federal Technology Service's (FTS) Connections Program. The contracts will provide telecommunications equipment, support services, and solutions to federal agencies.
The award replaces multiple expiring, regional equipment and services contracts and consists of three service categories: equipment and services, support services, and solutions. Equipment and services is comprised of voice, data and video equipment, microwave systems, wire and cable, and installation and maintenance. The support services category offers a variety of technical and professional labor skills. The solutions category includes infrastructure-related requirements using turnkey solutions, integration services, and managed services.
The contracts are eight-year multiple award, indefinite delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with a base period of three years and five, one-year options. Equipment and services will be offered in the 50 states, District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Saipan, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
"We are pleased to have assembled an impressive array of industry partners with more than 50% of the awards going to small business," said FTS Commissioner Sandra Bates. "The wide range of telecommunications equipment and services, combined with flexible packaging options, enables FTS to better support the needs of our customers." Commissioner Bates added, "The Connections Program focuses on telecommunications infrastructure and the complex environment of the first and last mile; this award gives customers a choice of industry partners, packaging options, and solutions designed to facilitate the convergence of voice, data, and video solutions in the federal workspace."
The Connections Program allows customers to order equipment or services for one-time purchases or complex telecommunications integration services. Customers can order directly from an industry partner or obtain value added assisted services from FTS including requirements development, statement of work preparation, cost analysis, task management, project management, and funds management.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies, and services. GSA, comprised of 14,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in 8,300 government-owned and leased buildings in 1,600 U.S. communities.

USC offensive lineman Abe Markowitz will apply to the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility but coach Lane Kiffin surprised reporters by saying Markowitz would not play for USC next season.
"Abe will not be coming back with us," Kiffin said. "We're not bringing him back."
Markowitz said he wants to return to USC and would be a walk-on next season if USC does not have an available scholarship.

BELOIT, WI -- New from the creators of Oregon Chai is Oregon Café Latte espresso concentrate, available in three flavors.
The product, supplied in 16.9-fl.oz. cartons, can be used to prepare specialty beverages by combining about 2 fl.oz. of concentrate with milk or a dairy substitute. It's offered in vanilla, caramel and mocha varieties, and can be enjoyed hot or chilled. At standard dilution, there are eight servings to a carton; each serving contains about the same amount of caffeine as one shot of espresso.
Kerry Ingredients foodservice and retail vice-president Corrie Byron said Oregon Chai customers, who are passionate about creating their own made-at-home coffee drinks, can now whip up on-the-go beverages at home or in the office.
Kerry Ingredients is a unit of Kerry Group (Tralee, Ireland), an international consumer foods conglomerate. Oregon Chai was founded in 1994 by Heather Howitt, and acquired by Kerry Group a decade later.
The Oregon Chai portfolio of products includes concentrates, mixes and teabags of the sweet and spicy tea.


text: friend has an 04' Laguna Seca M3 and he's so so on it. Sure it's fast and corners like a champ but he hates driving it in traffic (the highways here are basically parking lots) and he said he was lucky he got the extended warranty up to 100,000 miles because the maintenance is high, he had to replace something in his front bumper and it was almost $2000. I think he is leaning towards dumping it for something else.

OK so I was heading away on holidays and I wanted to keep my luggage to a minimum. I didn't want to bring my laptop with me, but I still wanted to have full access to all my files, my programs, my entire operating system.
So I figured hey, I can take the hard disk out of my laptop, stick it in a USB enclosure, and then just bring the hard disk around with me. The idea was I could take my hard disk and connect it into any computer and then just boot off it.
Before I went away, my Grub entry for booting Linux was as follows:
So I went away on holidays and I hooked my hard disk up to a computer via USB and then booted off it. The Grub menu appeared, and I simply hit Enter to boot into Linux. It booted up fine and everything worked.Code:title Main Linux OS root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic quiet
But with some computers, there was complications.
If you look at my Grub entry above, you'll see that it makes two references to the partition on which Linux resides:
Reference 1: (hd0,2)
Reference 2: /dev/sda3
The first reference never seems to cause any problems, reason being that "hd0" will always refer to the hard disk which Grub has just booted off (or at least that's how it seems).
The second reference however can cause problems. On some of the computers I used, the Grub menu appeared, I hit Enter, and then Linux failed to load. The problem was that my own hard disk was being given the designation of sdb instead of sda. I had a workaround for this. When the Grub menu appeared, I would press E to edit the entry, and I would change the following line:
to:Code:kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash
After I made that change, I pressed B to boot up Linux, and it booted up fine. (I didn't need to change root (hd0,2) to root (hd1,2)).Code:kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic root=/dev/sdb3 ro quiet splash
Here's what my fstab file looked like:
As you can see, my Linux partition was referred to as "/dev/sda3" in my fstab file. Even on the computers where my hard disk was designated as sdb at boot-time, this fstab entry didn't cause any problems (you'd think I would have had to change it to sdb!). Even though my own Linux partition was designated as sdb3 at boot-time, it appears as though it was known as sda3 by the time it came to mounting the root filesystem. (Don't ask me, I haven't got a clue either).Code:proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda3 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
I wanted to find the best way of making my Linux installation fully portable so that I could bring my hard disk around and boot it on different computers.
...and that's when I discovered UUID's
UUID's solve the problem of hard disks being given different designations on different systems (e.g. sda VS sdb VS sdc). Every Linux partition (e.g. ext2 ext3 ext4) has its own unique UUID. You can use this UUID to refer to the partition instead of using "/dev/sda3". To make use of UUID's, I had to change two files on my hard disk: my Grub file and my fstab file. I changed them as follows.
Here's my Grub file:
And here's my fstab:Code:title Main Linux OS uuid 8c5055d5-75e5-5f57-9585-5a5525551524 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic root=UUID=8c5055d5-75e5-5f57-9585-5a5525551524 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic quiet
After I made those changes, it booted every time on every computer. Notice, in these two files, that there's no reference to the hard disk number or even the partition number. You can move this Linux partition around however you like, you can change the partition order on your current hard disk, or you can move the Linux partition to a different hard disk. Your Linux installation should still boot right away without a problem because it's working off the UUID of the partition.Code:proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 UUID=8c5055d5-75e5-5f57-9585-5a5525551524 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Anyway I thought this was pretty cool when I got it working right, and I just had to share it... this is the kind of stuff that makes me really love Linux
If you wanna find out the UUID's of your partitions, do the following:
Code:sudo blkid | sort
Also, another little cool thing I found is the "/dev/disk" folder. Navigate into that folder and take a look around!

Hi, what's your goal for installing office on backtrack ?
Here I created a tutorial of how to install Microsoft Office 2007 on a BackTrack box. Here is the link, it its in Spanish but I got Google Translator and Microsoft Translator. Link:Brea Caliente: Tutorial I: Microsoft Office 2007 en BackTrack 3. Just click translate on the top Google Trabslator bar and you got it.
Hi, what's your goal for installing office on backtrack ?
Thanx for the great work
thanks this could be useful
It's kind of like putting mud truck tires on an F1 car. Sure, it will work, but why on earth would you bother?
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
Nice that it worked, Did he have to config much or just intstall crossoffice ?
I hope Adobe Photoshop also runs in BT4.
Otherwise: I don't see "why" either Barry. It's certainly not what I would use or even think about.
@OP I can certainly appreciate the time and effort you put into making this tutorial. But I can't think of any reason to install microsoft office on a linux pentesting distro. I don't even tell people to install microsoft office on a microsoft windows machine. It's not worth the money to go buy a license when open office does the same thing for free with less hassle. I tell my clients to at least try open office and if they are not pleased I install ms office for them. So far I've only had 1 person call back that wanted ms office instead. Oh well, it's your machine to do with it what you please. Thanks for the effort anyways.

Carrie Underwood celebrating five years as an Opry member
Listen to Carrie Underwood on iHeartRadio
Five years ago today, on May 10th, 2008, Carrie Underwood became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. And she'll be celebrating the occasion with a special Opry performance to close one of next month's shows.
The Opry is also commemorating the occasion with "fan zone" tickets that include a "Carrie 5-year Anniversary" t-shirt. Tickets are on sale now. The show is set for June 7th, which is during the CMA Music Festival in Nashville.
Opry President and General Manager Pete Fisher says they're pleased to honor Underwood in this way. He explains that over the past five years, Carrie has "become both a certified country music superstar and a beloved member of the Opry family."
He adds that it's "been exciting to see Carrie experience career success after success, all the while returning often to the Opry stage to thrill audiences here."

transcript:
When you've got fur instead of feathers, going airborne takes some guts.
But the flying squirrel never hesitates to leap into the void.
Luckily, he comes equipped with a built-in parachute.
A membrane stretches from wrist to ankle, turning the squirrel into a living, breathing paper airplane.
With each leap, the squirrel takes aim and spreads its body into a square.
A cartilage rod attached to their wrists helps them steer during flight.
The rodents glide through the forest like ghosts, their tails acting as a stabilizer...and a brake.
They may look like daredevils, but flying squirrels have plenty to be scared of.
Snakes, owls, raccoons and even cats constantly hunt them.
But no matter what, this squirrel will always have an escape plan.
Gliding is like a built-in life insurance policy.

The bottom's entire perimeter stays flush with the ground to keep out insects in breezes using an integrated PVC ring that can be filled with water. A zippered flap provides easy entry and exit. Removes easily by sliding off an umbrella's outer edges when lowered or closed. 98" diam. x 96" H. (3 1/2 lbs.)

Mosquito Canopy is Marvelous
By Mosquito Squasher
from Springfield, VA
The durable quality of this canopy is to be commended. I ordered another canopy from another company of much lesser quality and was disappointed. But I am immensely pleased with the construction and protection of this canopy. I would recommend a better way of attachment to the umbrella if possible however. One must open the umbrella and hold the canopy at the same time to get it on. Thank you for offering this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good product
By Free of mosquitoes
from Ottawa, Canada
This product is worth the money. We have black flies, deer flies, horse flies and enough mosquitoes to make Dracula jealous. Once installed over the umbrella is works very well. Love the water ring at the bottom to give you more room around the table. My only complaint and it is minor is the lack of installation instructions. A hint or two would have helped. But it is fairly easy to install but takes two people.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback/sharing your recent experience. We value all the input we receive from you and other concerned customers. If you ever have any other comments or suggestions, we encourage you to please send them along. You have our word that we will read each and every one.

Works great
By Randy
from Troutman, NC
It installs easier if you use 2 people to get it over the top of the umbrella with one standing on a chair or stool but the product works great. If there is little wind it is not necessary to fill the base with water but it is a nice feature if needed.

The Patio Table Mosquito Canopy
By Marjan

The canopy is very practical. Mosquitoes and waspsdon't bother us when eating outside on the upperdeck. It is easy to put up and take down.

Patio screen
By carolyn
from michigan
I really like the simplicity of this product and it is much more budget friendly than the gazebos. Very easy to take down but I would recommend a second person to hold it in place for set up. I'm very happy that I can enjoy sitting on the deck without dealing with mosquitoes and plan on ordering another.

Seems to be good quali t y
By Snowreader

About Me Midrange Shopper
As shade on deck that has no roof. This year we have more mosquitoes than usual and the screen is meant to make it possible to sit outside.the water bladder around the bottom keeps the screen tight to the deck floor. Takes two people to set it up.

Difficult to install but worth it
By Stef of the mountains
from Sierra Nevada mountain foothills
INSTALL with umbrella out of shaft. Lay it across your lap and lay the netting out.Think of it as constructing a skirt with the waistband the top of the netting (has a drawstring). Close the waist to within 1 ft. of the tip of the umbrella and close w/slip knot. Mount the umbrella in the shaft and open in stages, meanwhile adjusting the waist as you go. Open umbrella to full. Fill the base with water.
By ALLAN THE BBQ'R
from SAN ANSELMO
By joanie
from Ely, MN
I have limited deck space and was suffering badly from bites this year. Yet, the mosquito season does not last forever. The alternative was building a fixed screened in area to fit the small space. The flexibility and adaptability of this screen works for me. Highly recommended.

A snowsuit for your hands.
Cyclocross races don't stop when the temperature falls and you can't tell if it's raining or snowing (or both) on the course. Whether you're racing or heading out on your daily commute, you're probably already aware of how important it is to invest in the right gloves for cold-weather riding. Giro's Pivot gloves will protect your hands from wintry conditions while still providing the dexterity you need on the bike so you aren't left feeling like you're riding in ski mittens.
Giro starts with an anti-microbial X-Static fleece liner, which will insulate your hands from the cold and wick moisture away from your skin to keep the gloves from getting soggy over the course of a ride. The gloves' outer shell is what keeps the elements out, so it's constructed with a Pertex waterproof shell and a Hipora waterproof liner to act as a barrier against rain and wind.
Giro includes Clarino synthetic leather on the palms to give you grip on the handlebars and hook-and-loop straps so you can adjust the cuffs of the gloves to protect your wrists. The gloves are constructed with Giro's 3-panel palm design, ensuring they'll be contoured to your hands for the duration of your ride rather than bunched up after a few miles.

Warm, but not even close to waterproof
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
The first couple of days I wore these gloves in ~40*F temps, I was very impressed. They're surprisingly warm without being at all bulky. You don't notice them or your hands, which is probably about the nicest thing I can say about a pair of gloves.
Then I wore them for an hour-long ride in 45*F rainy weather. We're not talking a downpour here--just a mixture of drizzle and light- to medium rain. And the gloves were soaked through, along with my hands. They seemed to hold out the moisture for a short time, and my hands still didn't really get cold. But they did get very, very wet. I get that these things aren't Gore-Tex, but that's ridiculous for a pair of gloves that claim to be waterproof.
If you want a nice, warm pair of cold-weather gloves, these are great. Unless it's cold and rainy. Then you may want to go in a different direction.
Were you able to return them to Backcountry?

NTSB: All states should ban cellphone use while driving
State governments should prohibit all drivers from using portable electronic devices such as cellphones while behind the wheel, the National Transportation Safety Board unanimously recommended Tuesday.
The recommendation from the safety board followed a hearing on a Missouri highway crash on Aug. 5, 2010, which killed two people and injured 38. The chain-reaction crash of four vehicles included two school buses.
The board ruled that the initial collision was caused by a pickup driver, Daniel Schatz, 19, who was one of the fatalities, sending 11 text messages in the 11 minutes before the crash. His pickup rammed the back of a tractor-trailer that had slowed for construction on Interstate 44 near Gray Summit.

STORY: U.S. road deaths drop, more pedestrians struck
Schatz's truck was then rear-ended by a school bus, which was rear-ended by another school bus. The buses, which investigators found had brake problems, carried members of the John F. Hodge High School band. A student, Jessica Brinker, 15, who sat in the last row of the first bus, died in the crash.
"Two lives lost in the blink of an eye," said Deborah Hersman, the board chairman. "No call, no text, no update is worth a life."
An estimated 3,092 traffic fatalities in 2010 were blamed on distracted drivers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. More than one in six drivers send text messages while driving, and nearly half of drivers less than 25 years old are doing it, according to a NHTSA survey released last week.
"This is becoming the new DUI," said Robert Sumwalt, a member of the safety board. "It's becoming an epidemic."
The District of Columbia and 35 states ban text messaging for all drivers, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. No state bans all cellphone use for drivers, but nine states and D.C. ban drivers from using handheld cellphones while driving.
Association spokesman Jonathan Adkins said the group supports a texting ban and found in a July report that cell-phone use increases the risk of a crash.
He said he expects the safety-board's recommendation to spur debate, as his group calls for more research on whether banning hands-free use of cell phones makes driving safer.
"This could be a game-changer," Adkins said.
Missouri has a state law prohibiting drivers under 21 years old like the pickup driver from sending texts while driving. But state police issued only 120 tickets for the offense during a two-year period, Sumwalt said.
The board's federal recommendation for private vehicles would greatly expand previous calls to prohibit cellphone use among commercial drivers.
In September 2010, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration banned commercial drivers from text messaging while operating trucks and buses. The rule applies to about 4 million drivers.
The agency just adopted a prohibition Nov. 23 against commercial drivers using hand-held cellphones while behind the wheel. Violations carry a $2,750 fine.

Hi there.. im new in css, I want to make a custom layout for top border & menu 100% in width, but the other container is 980px in width.., how do i do that? here's my code..
/* layout */
width: 980px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: left;border-top: 10px solid #CCC;border-bottom: 39px solid #CCC;padding-bottom: 5px;}
somebody help me
Hi, arijay, welcome to the forums.
The code for the container doesn't tell us anything about the rest of your design.
Why would you want a menu to have 100% width, yet the rest of the page to have a fixed width?
Can you give us a better idea of the picture that you have in mind? Perhaps a link to your site?
Welcome to Sitepoint arijay,
The answer is you can't.The width of your top border will be 100% of the width of the element + left and right padding (if applicable) and lenght of left and right border (if applicable).
So you will need to apply that style to a different element; one that 100% the width of the screen. You may have to alter your HTML to create such element.
hope that helps
Better to simply place it above the container in the html then it woul go 100%. But if you can't you can try a couple things. If you AP the menu and don't put position relative on the container it leave the container. Give it width 100% and it will be 100%. Or no AP you maybe give the inner margin{0 -999em;}; body{overflow-x:hidden;}. Without test I don't know how that last one will behave.
The best way to set something like this up is to have a 100% width container and inside that your 980px content area, like this:
hi guys, thanks for the response
if you guys want to have a look of my site
and the example of the site that i want to..
Yep, my post above will show you what to do.
On another matter you might want to check your site as Mcaffee won't let me visit there:

History is a fascinating and revealing subject. Through history we can trace our own origins and the origins of our country. People who work in the role of historian are involved in discovering the past, collecting evidence of the past, organising what they find and presenting their discoveries to other people. We can all learn from history and it tells a rich and diverse story. From the way we used to live and dress to the wars we fought and the things we built, so much of our life is based on history.
History is a very popular subject to study at University and here at Manchester about 800 students are studying it.
We hope you enjoy learning about our history topics.

'Frozen,' 'Gravity' win music Oscars
Listen to Big Show Radio on iHeartRadio
The "EGOT" group -- people who've won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony -- has grown to a dozen.
[READ MORE: And the Oscar goes to...]
Songwriter Robert Lopez became the 12th person to accomplish the feat with his win for Best Original Song for "Let It Go," from the film "Frozen." He shared the Oscar win with his wife, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who joined him in accepting the award at Sunday's ceremony on ABC. They thanked many, including their daughters.
[PHOTOS: Best and Worst Dressed at the Oscars]
The award presentation followed a performance of the song by Idina Menzel, who was featured along with the other nominees in the category. U2 took the stage to sing "Ordinary Love" from "Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom," Karen O teamed up with Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig for "The Moon Song" from "Her," and Pharrell was featured with a group of dancers for a high-energy rendition of "Happy" from "Despicable Me 2."
Music also contributed to the list of Oscars earned by the film "Gravity." Steven Price received his first Academy Award for his score to the Sandra Bullock-George Clooney space drama. The 86th Academy Awards were presented in a ceremony in Hollywood, and aired live on ABC Sunday night.

Find out where your local lawmakers stand on the question of using U.S. force against Syria.
A day after leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives voiced support for a U.S. attack on Syria in advance of next week's expected debate, most lawmakers representing Philadelphia-area districts from both parties appear hesitant to stake out a position.
Momentum for a strike appears to be picking up, but it is likely to be a tough vote that won't break down easily along party lines. Neither side wants the United States to become embroiled in another Mideast conflict but, as several lawmakers have suggested, they also don't want to give Syrian President Bashar Assad the green light to use chemical weapons again.
Republicans in particular seem to split between the party's more activist wing and its members who are more reticent to use American power.
Democrats Allyson Schwartz, of Montgomery County, and Chaka Fattah, of Philadelphia, both put out statements commending the president's decision to seek congressional approval but neither of them took a firm stand on whether or not they would ultimately offer support.
Schwartz, the state's lone Jewish representative and a candidate for governor, said, "The president rightfully recognizes the importance of seeking congressional approval before taking military action."
"As Congress weighs this important vote, I will engage with my colleagues and the administration to determine the best course of action to address the Syrian regime's heinous disregard for human rights and protect our national security interests," she said.
A spokesman for Schwartz on Wednesday reiterated that she had not yet decided her position.
Before Obama announced over the weekend that he would seek congressional approval for a limited military strike on Syria, he received a letter signed by 140 members of Congress asking him to do just that. Among those who signed the letter was U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, a Republican from Bucks County.
"While the United States should continue to stand with our international allies in condemning this alleged act as inspectors within Syria continue to investigate, the decision to use military force — in what is a complex and quickly changing conflict —should not be made hastily," Fitzpatrick said in a statement.
His Republican colleague from Delaware County, U.S. Rep. Patrick Meehan, used his Twitter handle to seek advice from his constituents.
"Congress will face important vote on response to use of chem weapons by Syrian regime. Would like to hear your thoughts on the issue," he tweeted.
U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, who heads Philadelphia's Democratic Party, said he is reserving judgment at this time.
Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach, who is based in Chester County, said in a statement that he looks foward to debating the issue.
On the New Jersey side of the Delaware River, U.S. Rep. Jon Runyan, a Republican, expressed strong reservations about using U.S. military force.
"I know both Republicans and Democrats will have strong concerns about U.S. engagement in what many view as a civil war, and whether doing so is truly in our national security interests," he said in a statement.
Democrat Rob Andrews said that he is "very skeptical that we should involve our troops in the middle of anyone's civil war. I welcome all views and opinions as we go forward.
"The President has correctly decided to go to the Congress for authorization for any strike against Syria. I will review all of the relevant intelligence, listen to my constituents and evaluate what is right for the security of the country."
U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and currently N.J.'s only senator, has said publicly a strike on Syria is necessary.
A spokesman for Casey, an Obama ally who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee that deals with the Middle East, said he would vote to authorize the use of force against Syria.
Earlier, the senator said in a statement that he wished the congressional debate on Syria had started sooner.
"Last November, I called for a more assertive approach to the conflict in Syria because I believe the Assad regime is a threat to both regional stability and the United State's broader national security interests," Casey said.
"I believe that it is in the U.S. national security interest to respond to this most recent chemical attack," he added. "I appreciate the administration's efforts to consult with Congress about the situation.

DERBY, Conn. - A great day on the water turned rough during the novice race as the University of Pennsylvania lightweights claimed victory in a wild freshman race and finished third to the top two teams in the nation in the battle for the Dodge Cup on Saturday on the Housatonic River.
The Quakers showed some impressive resiliency after a collision in the freshman race. About 800 meters into the race, Yale's boat mishandled a turn on the course and crashed into the Penn crew. The Bulldogs pulled ahead as the Quakers regrouped. For nearly a half minute, the Red and Blue were down two rowers after the shoes of the stroke and seven seat came unclipped after the collision.
When the Quakers regained all eight rowers, they quickly closed about a one-length gap on the Bulldogs. Penn then pulled back into the lead, where they finished with a winning time of 5:51.0. After the finish, Yale was officially disqualified for the lane violation and clash.
"It was a really good race," said head coach Nick Baker."It was great to see our guys respond so well to some unexpected adversity and, overall, all of our crews were much improved from last week so we were pleased with how things went today."
Yale and Columbia rank first and second in the country, respectively, and finished in that order in the 55th race for the Dodge Cup. The Bulldogs led wire-to-wire on their home course, but it was a close contest for much of the race. Yale won with a time of 5:34.99 and Columbia eventually pushed away from the Quakers to finish second at 5:37.13. The Quakers crossed the finish line in 5:45.40.
Next Saturday, the Quakers vie for the Wood-Hammond Cup with Princeton. Georgetown will join the Ivy rivals as a guest on Lake Carnegie.

Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak expects to hear from the NBA sometime this week on whether the league will grant the team a disabled players exception for Jordan Hill.
Kupchak said that might happen as early as today, though he said he's not overly concerned about it. The exception, worth $1.78million, goes to teams who have an injured player who will be out until June 15. Hill had left hip surgery last week and won't return until at least mid-July.

40 Years of Awesomely Sexy 'Fear Of Flying' Book Covers
"Berlin is like our medicine," Chelsea Leyland says. "If we don't go there every six months, we get very upset." Leyland is the 25-year-old British art-and-fashion-world DJ who, along with her boyfriend, Ben Pundole (founder of hotel-review and lifestyle website AHotelLife.com and VP of brand experience at Ian Schrager's Edition Hotels), can always be counted on to know what's cool before anyone else does. So it's fitting that Berlin has been the globe-trotting couple's go-to getaway for years. "There aren't many rules in Berlin," Pundole says. "Film, fashion, art, and music all transcend conventional boundaries." When it comes to nightlife, this translates to 24-7 parties that feature the best DJs in the world. "It's amazing that you can go out and dance literally whenever you want: 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 8 p.m.," Leyland says. On their most recent jaunt, the duo opted out of their usual Soho House lodgings to take in the city's newest spots.

text: and Jason Garrett is terrible again next year... Do you make Lovie your head coach? I think if Jason fails and he has someone like Lovie on board then Lovie would get the HC job just like Garrett did. Is that good for the team? Could Garrett trust someone like that? If this is even a thought in Jerry's mind then he should just let Jason go now.

idk, just how my hand moved on that 1 I guess
idk, just how my hand moved on that 1 I guess
crits please
send pics. I get down.
...I havent been to philly since I was a kid... and I didnt paint. So that aint me, I been in the train game for a few years tho...
modified the first one to a different style kind of.
Overall, I'd like to hear what you think.
Chill, the swirl in the S (first pic) screams toy IMO, make sure not to have any shit like that in your throw, at least not yet. As for the rest of the the throw, it's boring. I think the second one has the most appeal; work with that. One more thing, you seem to have a problem with your letter spacing, it looks like the letters after the first letter are too tucked into the previous one. Give them a little more breathing space.
Oh, almost forgot, one golden rule: don't sketch your throw, you wouldn't sketch it with paint, would you? Of course not.
Besides, the only thing worth sketching with paint/a pencil/a pen is a piece.
Keep it up.
Ibu, which letters, of the 2 throws, would you say are the best ones and should be carried on or played with? I'm kind of fond of the "L K" in the 1st one. But of course, that's coming from my toy perspective.
Crits welcomed ^_^
Ewal - Your throw should all flow with each other letter.
lado - I personally like the top better(minus the swirl)
mm - I would just bring down the top right side of the S down just a tad.

^god damn your throws and hands are ugly. the STOMP one is the only one that I can look at without being annoyed... Try simpling em up a bit, because the slight complexity your tryin to put on those letters look terrible. Work on hand movements and cleanliness with simpler letters, then if you really want come back to this style and fuck with it.
i strongly disagree. nothing wrong with these throws at all. they flow real nice.
the handstyle, yeah it needs work. but the throws are great, nothing's ever perfect. but they DEF aren't ugly !
theyre not clean, their inconsistant, and they are most definetly ugly. If I saw them in high traffic+high graffiti area location id chose him to cover in a heartbeat
