(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here – This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ – that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’ . That will bring on a ‘whatever’).

(8) Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying GO TO HELL

(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to #3.

With appropriate codecs, DVD movies can be played in gxine, Totem movie player, VLC and kaffeine (for Kubuntu). I personally prefer the VLC player as it simply works, without having to do much configuration.

First, install the following library:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

This will install most of the codecs for multimedia (audio and video) playing.

The library package is not available in the Ubuntu repository, you have to use the libdvdread4 installer script.

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

This will retrieve and install the libdvdcss2. If it don’t work, download the deb installer at http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/deb/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb and click to install it.

Install the xine library
sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg

Install VLC
sudo apt-get install vlc

Now you should be to watch DVD in your VLC player.

If you want to use Totem Mplayer, you have to install totem-xine rather than using the default totem-gstreamer.
sudo apt-get install totem-xine

The acronym LAMP refers to a solution stack of software, usually free and open source software, used to run dynamic Web sites or servers. The original expansion is as follows:

• Linux, referring to the operating system;
• Apache, the web server;
• MySQL, the database management system (or database server);
• PHP or others, i.e., Perl, Python, the programming languages.

The combination of these technologies is used primarily to define a web server infrastructure, define a programming paradigm of developing software, and establish a software distribution package.

Though the originators of these open source programs did not design them all to work specifically with each other, the combination has become popular because of its low acquisition cost and because of the ubiquity of its components (which come bundled with most current Linux distributions). When used in combination they represent a solution stack of technologies that support application servers.

F Y I:
By the way: In the past this software was called LAMPP but to avoid misconceptions they renamed it to »XAMPP for Linux«.

inside the terminal type:

sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz -C /opt

Thats all. LAMP is now installed on your computer. All you need to do now is to start LAMP (this is to start the Apache server and MySQL). To do that execute the following command in Terminal:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

You can test your installation by pointing your browser to http://localhost

In order to make sure LAMP starts automatically every time you start your computer, follow these steps.

First, execute this command in Terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc.local

When gedit opens, add the following line right at the bottom of the file

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Save the file and close it. Now you don’t have to start LAMP manually each time your start your computer.

Notes:

• Your root (admin) password for MySQL is left blank. It’s better if you set a password.
• Your php files and projects should be put inside the directory /opt/lampp/htdocs
• Login to phpMyAdmin from here: http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php

Ubuntu 8.10 is coming and it will be here soon so make sure you download your copy. Can’t wait Download the Beta!!

Well I am not running Windows much anymore besides at work and I came across this new application by Gnome called Blog Entry Poster.

* Clean interface doesn’t get in the way of what you’re writing

* WYSIWYG styled text support

* Entries can be written gradually over the course of a day, popping gnome blog open and closed as you have thoughts to jot down and then posting at the end of the day

* Operates as a panel object/applet or a standalone application

* Supports many different kinds of blogs

* New Spell checking

* New Drag and drop images into your blog entry (if your blog supports it)

Download Gnome Blog

oh and this was posted by Gnome Blog

“I am Linux”

Well how do you makes these two Operating Systems operate on the same machine, well it is a little tricky and you need at least 2 HDD. This shouldn’t be too difficult.

1. Make sure BIOS can change the boot sequence of drives (if not this trick will not work)

2. Now all you need to do is install Vista on your 1^st HDD

3. Reboot and change the BIOS setting to boot to the 2^nd HDD

4. Install Linux

Over and done with and now that you have Linux on its separate HDD you can install multiple other Linux distros on that drive since you have Grub or whichever boot loader you have chosen to install. This way Windows has its own HDD it is happy and if you can just change BIOS setting depending on which OS you would like to boot into.

I would like to give a thank you out to John for the inspiration.
