With the new Ubuntu release, Firefox seems to not want to respect the Backspace key for navigating back a page. Instead it mimics the Page Up key, for reasons only the squirrels know. Here is a fix to this problem:
I have just about had it with Charter's blatent attempt at gaining viewership to there paid advertisements they slip in between network commercial content.
Not only the companies commercials, but there clientel's TV AD's are being disposed well above the amplitude, and over the top modulation that they are streaming to my TV.
It not only sounds awful, but also builds my relationship from there commercials to the services they offer, generic, un-appeasing, and disruptive to the conducive momentum of what I am viewing or paying for.
Imagine for instance that your television had a volume meter from 0 to 10. In most cases, on most network television stations the average amplitude was that of normal a sound preference, and in this case a 5 would be sufficient to describe it. When Charter adds are included in the breaks, imagine then if the amplitude would be a factor of 10! Not only does this wake you up in the middle of the night, but it also refers the sound of Charter mumbo jumbo to corporate syndication of mumbo jumbo services.
I have just about had it. There are other options where I live, and if there technician's in control of modulation, or amptitude doesn't make a workable adjustment, I will be switching service. Fuckers, I was having a pretty damn hot dream last night that got interupted with spewage; that of the sort you would not want to receive, or pay for - for that matter.
Give me Spice for free and I will make an acception.

Many of us have been told to drink 8, 8 oz glasses of water a day. This is an exaggerated recommendation, as understood by many western nutritionist and other social-culture beliefs. I found an article here, that looks deeper into the 8 x 8 rule with perspectives not specific to western culture that puts into edible information cookies what our daily liquid intake needs really are.

Least restrictive use of "open source" software?
GoDaddy's free control panel for dedicated and virtual dedicates servers is TurboPanel, now called Simple Control Panel. It runs on Java, and I noticed the virtual machine was using up way too many resources for the good of the other services. I decided to only start the server when I need it, although most of the configuration I need to perform is done through an SSH session. Before I decided on this start stop option of mine, I tried tweaking the heap memory settings for the Java VM and damn it, I didn't make a back-up of the Java options.
I had one hell of a time getting the application to perform memory utilized procedures, and half of the time while trying to tweak the settings, I would cause the VM to crash. So this is the reason for my post - my /etc/sysconfig/turbopanel file with the JAVA_OPTS variable assignment, for this one line of code took me a half a day of searching, pulling hair, and growing a dislike for this hog of an app.
JAVA_OPTS="-XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=1 -Xverify:none -XX:PermSize=16M -Xms8m -Xmx32m"
-Xms is used for setting the minimum heap size, while -Xmx is the maximum in multiples of 1024 if followed by K, or the megabyte equivilant if followed by M. Permsize holds all the reflective data for the VM. Setting this higher increases performance. -Xverify defines the verification mode for the classes: remote, all, none. Since I have no experience with java, I will refrain from trying to explant the TargetSurvivorRatio, especially because a majority of the documentation starts talking about Eden.

poor man's snack (no PB)
I have once again found a fantasticular firefox extension which sits on your status bar showing how many minutes you have left, peak and off peak, billing cycle, and the number of TXT messages being sent for Verizon Wireless customers.
A separate extension is also available for T-Mobile. Thankfully, after installing this, I realized I have been using more than I usually allow myself per week. I will have to keep the conversations short for a few more days.
