WAVE 3.0 Accessibility Tool – this thing kicks major booty. There are bookmarks too. Priceless if you need Section 508 compatibility.
I had to take down my local linux server down for some maintenance, and on reboot, I a Partition Check hang on bootup that I know I’ve encountered before (with my HPT366/HPT370 RAID controller built on the motherboard). I had this problem earlier, and I forgot how I solved it, but going and doing some googling™, I think I found out again. I actually had to do a change in the hpt366.c driver in the kernel source – now that I think about it, I did a recent emerge that would have probably updated that code (new kernel w/ bad line of code would give me the same problem)…
The workaround is to comment the config_chipset_for_pio(drive) line in the config_chipset_for_dma() function [hpt366.c:868].
- Google Groups: HPT366 hangs up at boot – interesting thing here is that is the mlist.* hierarchy. That’s a good idea. (well, except for the email address harvesting)

Oh, apparently, something I posted today is crashing Chimera, sorry about that.

Underlying Kennan’s caution, apparently, is the lesson he learned firsthand in 1946, the year that containment was born. This was, as he put it, “the recognition that wherever, in this modern age, one has to choose between war and no war, such is the fearfulness of modern armaments that one should give every conceivable preference to the possibilities and arguments for peace before resorting to the sword.”
The Bush speech is nothing less than the founding document of a new international order with American power at its center and the spread of freedom as its aim. Put it this way: You have heard of the Monroe Doctrine, no? Manifest Destiny? The West Point speech, with its liberty doctrine, will be remembered for laying out something no less consequential than those.
My old roommate (now living in Maryland), had some pretty stupendous basement flooding from the melting snow of the blizzard earlier this month.
Since I hadn’t reinstalled Flash yet, I had to search for decompilers to extract an image of the new Samsung Matrix phone. This of course turned out to be unnecessary anyway asZion Is The Last Free City has all kinds of information and detailed photos on it.
- FLASM – an OSS (BSD like license) swf unpacker and ActionScript decompiler, has some neat links about obsfucation and optimization
- swf2avi – dumps frames to bitmaps, jpg’s and avi. works reasonably well
- Xtrac – extracts swf files from projectors
- Sothink SWF Decompiler – looks pretty full featured, costs $40
It’s been going around, but yeah, Derek Kirk Kim’s Same Difference really is all that and a bag of chips. His new Oliver Pikk is great too, as is, well, the rest of teh stuff on his site.
