it also happens here quite frequently leaving the authorities at a loss of what to do..-lanux128 (February 11, 2009, 06:58 AM)
Controlled burning is a practice whereby areas of dense vegetation and high forrest-floor buildup is set alight by the fire services in the winter months in order to prevent buildup of fuel over time which is consumed by fires in the summer months when they're virtually inevitable. The ferocity of the fires currently burning in Victoria is in direct proportion to the amount of fuel they have to burn. Suffice it to say if a sensible amount of controlled burning was taking place, these fires would not be causing the damage and costing the lives that they are.

#12: "The service has raised a number of security concerns, as many users may not be aware that it is enabled."
How could they not be aware that it's enabled if you have to opt-in to enable it in the first place?-Deozaan (February 09, 2009, 05:05 PM)
I thought the same. Opt-in is in quotes, so there's no telling what the truth actually is. The article is there simply because it was, believe it or not, the least sensationalist I could find.

OK - I'm getting old. While I agree with the sentiments expressed in the parody (of the Sony POS), I thought the amount of gratuitous swearing detracted from the humour.-Darwin (February 10, 2009, 02:16 PM)
Google will announce its entry Tuesday into the small but growing business of "smart grid," digital technologies that seek to both keep the electrical system on an even keel and reduce electrical energy consumption.
Google is one of a number of companies devising ways to control the demand for electric power as an alternative to building more power plants. The company has developed a free Web service called PowerMeter that consumers can use to track energy use in their house or business as it is consumed.
Google is counting on others to build devices to feed data into PowerMeter technology. While it hopes to begin introducing the service in the next few months, it has not yet lined up hardware manufacturers.
Apparently it works flawlessly under Wine. Not the same, I know...-Edvard (February 09, 2009, 03:19 PM)

Back when I was kicking the cigarette habit, my girlfriend offered me an interesting option.

To join a Windows Workgroup (MSHOME, etc)
1. Go to the “System” menu
2. Go to “Administration“
3. Select “Network“
4. Go to the “General” tab
* Host Name: What you want your computer to be named on the network
* Domain: equivilant to WORKGROUP in Windows. Put your workgroup here (ex: MSHOME)
In either case, the book was no help to me in getting my network printer set up in Ubuntu. The machine it is connected to is running XP Pro and Ubuntu can't seem to find the SMB or workgroup or anything.-Deozaan (February 04, 2009, 11:28 PM)
I'll assume your printer is already shared under XP, and you've set up the correct workgroup name in your Ubuntu network configuration...so check your firewall settings to see if it's blocking your Tux-box's IP-Address or service request.-40hz (February 05, 2009, 07:11 AM)
