When I press arrow,backspace,del buttons in text editor, I expect something like "backspace" deletes the character to the left[of the cursor], "delete" deletes the character to the right and "arrow" should move cursor to correct direction in document. Since I move to Feisty Fawn. I just notice that Backspace and Delete Keys are not act as it should be in VIM editor e.g. , In insert mode, the arrow buttons will insert the letters A, B, C, D each followed by a CR. If I press backspace, the cursor moves back, but the letter doesn't go away. Also delete button will deletes all letters that on the right of cursor and change case of previous letter. Below is a pic when I type up, down, right, left, some text, backspace and del [Some web said] "backspace key" will sent ASCII character 8[decimal] and "delete key" sent 127[decimal] [try man ascii for a list of the ASCII characterset]. The backspace key also has the representation ^H [Ctrl-H]...

"We can be proud of ourselves. We've done so well getting to the final and I know we'll play in another one of these finals," said Gerrard.(from BBC Sport ) Last night I watched this match until 4AM(Bangkok time) and felt that it's not liverpool's day. Red had more chances in first half but couldn't turn it to score furthermore Milan's goal from Inzaghi's deflection on injury time(a bit of luck IMHO) change rest of the match. Second half was now easily for MILAN hold the ball, wait for second goal and it's come. Liverpool's consolation goal from kuyt bring me some hope but no miracle at athen. Anyway Final Score UEFA Champions league 2007 AC MILAN 1 - 0 LIVERPOOL

My box use asus motherboard[a7n8x-e] with asus agp card[n6200d]. Yes, it work great on windows but A7N8X-e acpi bios or acpi module on linux bring me a lot of problem. I can't remember how many attempts I try to get nvidia linux driver work with a7n8x-e and n6200td card. Every time I try will end with (EE) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA kernel module does not appear to be receiving (EE) NVIDIA(0): interrupts generated by the NVIDIA graphics device.

Last night,on my dual boot machine, I formated old ntfs partition to fat32 partition(in XP). After reboot to Feisty, it can't mount that partition anymore. I edited /etc/fstab by changed ntfs to vfat not work. I notice that fstab file in Feisty, the field /dev/abcd have changed to UUID=xxxx. I try google it and found some info. UUID(Unique unit ID) came since edgy I guess(I never try edgy at all). Some reason to use UUID are a)Disk labels aren't guaranteed to be unique. b)The kernel's device paths aren't constant enough -- move your SCSI interface card to a different slot and system doesn't boot any more. c)Device names aren't constant either -- they depend on module load order. To find out the UUID, use the following command $ /sbin/blkid or $ sudo vol_id -u device

"At the heart of the Ubuntu project lies a belief that open source software and technology can play a key role in enabling individuals to achieve their potential. A central goal has been the creation of a world-class, free and open source operating system that we have worked to make accessible across notebooks, desktops, thin clients and servers. Three years on, it is clear that new types of device - small, handheld, graphical tablets which are Internet-enabled are going to change the way we communicate and collaborate. These devices place new demands on open source software and require innovative graphical interfaces, improved power management and better responsiveness. Intel, specifically, have announced a new low-power processor and chipset architecture which will be designed to allow full internet use on these mobile Internet devices. To fulfil the aims of our mission and in response to the technical challenges that these devices pose, we are announcing the Ubuntu Mobile and ...

Last week, I’ve got serious problem with my system at home. It has 2 drives, ide and sata. The ide one(4 years old), used as system drive,'s partition table was crash. The last environments before it crashed are Ide drive's 4 partitions. hda1 is winxp(ntfs,loss partition table),hda5 is data(ntfs,loss partition table),hda6 is ubuntu /(fine) and hda7 is swap(fine). Sata drive's 3 ntfs partitions (sda1,5,6) all fine and its store movies and programs I've downloaded from bittorrent. Motherboard is ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe with Sillicon SATA chip(Sillicon 3112a I guess) Ubuntu on hda6 still can boot. I have some data on hda5 need to restore(with 'EasyRecovery', it works great, restores everything as the same folder structure.).

For old 60 GB IDE, I will use as download drive store data downloaded from bittorrent network. I have followed other instructions found o...

Arrays, in java language, has fix size, member must be same type. We must known size of it before create array. This post is note about some collector classes in package java.util Vector will use to collect 'instance of class', can vary size, member doesn't need to be same type. Vector use much memory, not suitable to store or transfer over network. So use Vector to store data, after finish change Vector to Enumeration by Enumeration e = v.elements(); Stack is order oriented data structure i.e. 'pop' and 'push' data from one side of stack. It based on the principle of Last In First Out. Member in stack must be instance of class like vector, data in primitive type need to change to be instance of 'type wrapper class' before pop into it. example import java.util.*; class StackTest1 { public static void main(String[] args) { String t[] = {"Hello", "how", "do", "you", "do?"}; Stack s ...
