 On the practical level, many implementations (Windows' edit control

 lost at the end of the line, and the RLE only covers the first line of
 the paragraph. Since most mailers (thunderbird included) do explicit
 line breaking in text mode, this is not even necessarily a violation of
 the standard, as RLEs should be forgotten at the paragraph end character
 (a fact you rely on when you put an RLE at the beginning, but not a PDF
 at the end).


Thanks, I will look into this. What other problematic implementations
should I look at? I'll take the time to check the applications and see
what solutions I can propose, but I need to know which applications
are affected.

Thank you Shachar.

Re: Thunderbird mailer

2011-08-21 Thread Eyal Rozenberg

The result leaves a bit to be desired:
1) The promised two buttons for determining the justification
direction are nowhere to be seen (yes, I have checked that box for
displaying them).


Customize the toolbars (for the main 3-pane window and for the 
composition window) and you can add the direction button/s.



 One can determine the direction only by opening
the BiDi preferences and setting the direction there. An acceptable
ad hoc workaround?



2) Not really. Setting the preferences doesn't take effect until one
closes Thundermug and reopens it. Clumsy?


Umm, if I understand what you're saying, I'll have to say that to my 
knowledge, the default direction preference has immediate effect. Are 
you perhaps getting some error messahe in the Error Console?

In different parts of the world, different channels are legal. For

3-14. In Israel it is 4-8 with 1-3 and 9-13 shared with the IDF.


Since a wifi channel really uses 3 channels, one one each side of the  
main channel, if your router is set for one jurisdiction and the  
computer another, channels at either end may not work.


I'm sure is not applicable to you, is that if you don't change the  
SSID or use encryption, your computer will sign on to the strongest  
network of the same name. As the signal fades or gets stronger  
(roaming) the computer will switch to the strongest signal it finds.


All those people who got BEZEQ wifi routers with an SSID of SIEMENS  
were using each other's wifi without knowing it.


Don't say it's not happening now, when I was in the hospital in April,  
there were 3 networks I could reach, the hospital's protected network  
for internal use, the hopsital's open networks giving almost 100%  
coverage on several channels and an open network with a default name  
from another building.


A friend of mine just moved to haifa, and he found that there was  
free wifi in his new apartment. :-(

Re: How do I install linux on a raid0?

 I just got a new w520 with two 500GB hard drives configured in raid0

 installed and running on it (and I need it to stay there
 unfortunately) and I'm trying to install linux along side it (debian
 unstable).
I have a W700, which also has a similar controller. I'm happily running
Gentoo Linux and Windows 7 backup OS there, on a striped raid setup.
This is, indeed, fakeraid, so you have to have an initrd/initramfs and
pass a few parameters to the kernel (which also has to have the support
for this particular controller and the dmraid magic either as modules or
built-in). Essentially, there is not much hardware support here, other
than the metadata in the last sectors of both harddrives, everything is
done at the main CPU. So you can use software RAID0/RAID1 with md
instead of using the controller with dmraid and it might even be more
robust. But I don't, for hysterical reasons (Windows). I use a separate
/boot partition, but it's not required, I just play with a lot of
kernels. The disklabel is the default msdos one, hasn't moved this one
to GPT yet. Here is the unedited entry from my grub configuration file
(Just in case, this is NOT grub2).

title Gentoo Linux (3.0.0-git19)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.0.0-git19 root=/dev/ram0
real_root=/dev/mapper/isw_deficgecde_OEMRAID05 dodmraid ht=on
resume=/dev/mapper/isw_deficgecde_OEMRAID02 nouveau.perflvl_wr=
nouveau.perflvl=0
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.0.0-git19

The important parts are, of course, the dodmraid, root and
real_root paramethers. Try to get the partition numbering right
otherwise funny things will occur.

I rely on the Gentoo genkernel tool to make my initramfs, but it's
really not a huge task to do it manually. If you need further help, mail
me off-list.
