I use kind of a dumb workaround in HH. I use compiz fusion to switch the window manager from compiz to metacity, get the Alt-PrtScr shot, then revert to the compiz window manager.

Although there are systems -- like a couple of my notebooks -- that do HD encryption through the controller. The BIOS on them can't be reset by any brute force method, and removing the drive and...
I kind of figured you'd go that way. Good for you.
There are some GUI glitches in 2.22.3 that have been pestering me for a while. Now that you've brought this up I'm going to go look at their...
It is possible to password protect the bootloader and / or rescue mode, the easiest method involving installing startupmanager (That's the actual name of the package.), running it, and using the...
From what I can see, there are several ways in which you might obtain a version update for a given package in Ubuntu without a lot of fussing around:

The combination of that droll comment plus your nickname is making the hair stand up on my neck.

Yup, you need off site storage. I use a combination of safety deposit boxes for physical media and online storage (commercial, but free is available).
As for fire protection within the home....
Sounds like a plan.
Some folks think I'm paranoid, but I could tell you some stories about several months' worth of data loss in a hospital back in the days of the Jerusalem B virus. (I'm...
Please take my word for it. No UPS (or any other kind of protection) will protect that system from lightning or strong EMF coupling which strikes the power supply chain anywhere near you. If such a...
That's what it always says -- until you put a checkmark in the box beside the driver listed in the box below that statement. It's kind of an odd (read non-Windows) way for them to get the idea...
Where in the file system is the drive mounted? If, for instance, it is under /media (as in /media/cdrom0) what is listed as the owner, and what are the permissions on the mount point?
Wow! Stress much? Anyone of us drawing from his own limited experience can't necessarily do a good job of extrapolating to make such a broad statement. I think the thread is mostly conjecture about...
There may be a certain kernel of truth in what you say. It may even be reasonably generalized to other categories of merchandise. I have in mind two execrable BMWs and one truly accurse Mercedes with...

If you've decided to go for the Firefox 3.1 beta you might want to use this repository instead. If you follow the instructions at the link below, you'll be adding the repository and key for the...
well, from the way I look at it, ATI is offering the best kind of support to the Open Source community. They (supposedly) gave all the information the devs need to write their own drivers. That's...
Despite being handicapped with all of the legacy stuff they must support, Microsoft actually does a superb job of producing a first rate operating system -- for some purposes, particularly...
Hi, jackn.
Well, that's interesting. I guess that you have, at least, found a way in which you can work with your system. I know that opening that many tabs -- especially if there's much...
