flash killer extension for firefox 4
I just installed firefox 4 only to find out that flash killer isn't compatible with this version. Someone knows other extension that will do the job? It would be pity to downgrade only for this. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

product review? Fujicom external HDD
looking to by an external eSATA drive. This is the only one that seems reasonably priced in Israel. http://www.getit.co.il/Prod/62962 Problem is I can't find any reviews on it (hebrew or english), or if it works with Linux. Has anyone else had experience with it? ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: product review? Fujicom external HDD
First, you've missed a slash there. it's http://www.getit.co.il/Prod/62962/ Second, you can't tell if it's reasonably price since it's an auction. Youre' not going to get it for 389 NIS + 39 NIS shipping. zap prices starts at 484 NIS. You won't find reviews for it because Fujicom is Yanir's private label, so iyt's probably sold under some other OEM name abroad. Here is probably the source: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/296911767/XD_258eSU_2_5_eSATA_portable.html Also note that unlike the local Fujicom offering, this chinese item is an *enclosure*, not a complete product. You need to add the HD yourself. If you wonder how I found it: I've searched for 2.5" 1TB esata -fujicom under google images until I saw a picture that looked identical. I had to explicitly ignore "fujicom" entries because all the local Israeli search hits appeared first in the search results. Personally, since this is probably a generic enclosure with a standard drive slapped in, I don't expect any troubles, like those fancy WD modes where the drive is identified as both a CD drive and a HD with hidden partitions and the like.

I decided not to upgrade to Firefox 4 because I don't know if FacePAD will work. Actually I don't need to upgrade Firefox at all, but Firefox upgraded itself to 3.6.16 without my permission. I guess most of plugins will not be compatible with Firefox 4.

Re: flash killer extension for firefox 4
Firefox does not upgrade without your permission. Check under "Tools/Options/Advanced/Update", and set "Ask me what I want to do" instead of "Automatically download and install the update".

The current habit is indeed to rush any new version to release, whether or not the necessary supplement (plugins, addons) are available for it. When I installed openSuSE v11.4, Firefox 4 (a release candidate!!!) came with it without any offer of a atable alternative. I do not know what kind of mind would inflict a release candidate when a stable 3.6.16 was available. For what it's worth, I do not like FF4. It is loaded with changes made for the sake of making changes, which seems to be a disease od wpidemic proportions among Linux (at least) developers in general. > > Uri Even-Chen > > Mobile Phone: +972-50-9007559 > > E-mail: u...@speedy.net > > Website: http://www.speedy.net/ > > > > ___ > > Linux-il mailing list > > Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il > > http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Thank you. I changed the settings of my Firefox. But if set to "Automatically download and install the update" (which is probably the default), then Firefox does upgrade without your permission. By the way, I'm using Google Chrome as my main browser, and Google Chrome also upgrades without your permission. I don't know if it's possible to prevent Google Chrome from upgrading without your permission.

Re: flash killer extension for firefox 4
I stand corrected. What I wrote below was for Windows Firefox. Under Linux you will find the same under "Edit/preferences/Advanced/Update".

In Linux versions of Firefox, there is no "Tools/Options"; it is a Windows convention. The equivalent for Linux is: Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Update. What is displayed in the Update pane is: "Automatically check for updates to Addons Search engines" which isn't quite the same thing. There is certainly nothing about upgrades to the browser being voluntary. But it's nice to know about Windows browsers too. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
OT: Einstein Writer under QEMU
I'm trying to help someone run Einstein Writer under QEMU. I set up a virtual machine and installed FreeDos on it. I found a demo of Einstein which is supposed to be a running version of it. When I start it up, I get a few English words and a lot of junk on the screen. I assume I am missing installing Hebrew support in the virtual video card. I did a web search and found a wikipedia entry for codepage 862. I tried to load it with the FreeDos command display con=(ega,862,1). It loads, but I still get garbage. Any ideas? Alternatively is there a way to convert EinsteinWriter files to something useable without Einstein itself? Thanks, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
