FireFox font size.

2006-08-20 Thread David Harel

Hi there,

Sorry for bringing it up here. I tried on many resources and discussion groups. Here I 
feel I use the ultimate but also last resort.


My screen is high resolution but too small - laptop. I added: DisplaySize 286 215 to 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf Display section and KDE seems to understand the fonts size just fine 
(konqueror). but FireFox doesn't comply and everything is just too small.


I want to make firefox "do"  menu->View->Text Size->Increas to all pages I go 
into.

I tried to do in chrome/userContent.css:
body {
  font-size: 120% !important;
}

but that didn't change parts of the pages that had style assigned to them.
Any idea?

What kind of messages do you think would be most effective? Ones based on 
technological arguments, or on logical & moral ones, on common sense, on 
experience in other countries that have this kind of law, ...


For a moral argument, I'd suggest doing a little research and compiling 
a list about up-start artists who use file-sharing as a promotional 
means "for the poor" - i.e. P2P's value both as an economical tool (for 
free market believers such as me) and as an 'equalizer' for more 
left-leaning people (as Meretz claim to be though I really don't know).


I don't think any law that is moral and just should be rejected on 
technicalities (technological arguments) so the Right Thing(TM) is to 
show the law is unjust.


I'd gladly write everything, but they might not read a long message. And the 
tiny textarea on the submission page doesn't inspire confidence that a long 
message would be read. Maybe there's a better way to contact them, such as 
email?


Once you have a couple of contacts of legitimate-content distributors, 
you can work something out of my first paragraph - in fact, if you'll do 
the research, I can write something short and convincing myself; I think 
I'm pretty good at that.

As far as I remember, RHEL3 Cluster Manager cannot work without shared storage 
and doesn't support iSCSI device as a shared storage (at least, RH doesn't 
promise that this configuration will work stable)

it works just fine. RHEL Cluster with two common raw devices for the
quorum, I didn't bother setting up GFS at the end, since it was not
important.

I was very disappointed from the RH cluster manager though. all it does
it move a list of services without dependency on eachother. it's quite a
lot but it's missing some needed features, like defining a logical link
or block - service A and B must migrate to new nodes together, but not
to one that already runs service C for instance. nope, I can only define
to which nodes each service migrates and that's it. For instance, y
client wanted a very simple case where three machines run two services.
if any of the three machines fails, the other two take over the two
services that need to run, but I can't have both services migrating to
the same node, and now I cannot prevent this using this tool, I'll have
to make funny improvizations in the startup files to get it to "fail"
for the cluster manager and force it to migrate it further to another
node if this one is busy. this is an ugly kludge, and the only "right"
solutiong, per RHEL, is to have 4 rather than 3 machines, each pair
takes care of one service and that it. rediculous :-(

With Mozilla Thunderbird you can do Message->Edit as new, and then add
more attachments or type more stuff. when you then save the message as
draft it will be saved with your modifications to the draft folder.
Alternatively you can do then Tools->send copy to->[any email folder]
but you have to also send it or save as draft for the copy to be
stored. 

You can also remove attachments from messages you received, and I think
I remember reading somewhere that you can also add attachments to
existing messages, but I failed to figure out how to do it.

Regarding the second feature request mentioned on issue 132626, GNOME
Evolution, while also having "Edit as new" (though its always disabled -
I can't figure out when it is enabled) have also an option to "post new
message to folder", allowing you to quickly add notes to an email folder
in the form of "internal messages".

Indeed, though these feature are mostly local to the offending user, so
I don't think they can adversely affect other users who don't like this
abuse, unlike with MS-Excel which allows people to send me databases, UI
designs, use cases, to do lists, protocol specifications and what not in
the form of unparsable XLS files :-(

RH Cluster is a bad
joke.
I have used various HA
solutions, including VCS, SunCluster, HACMP, and even MSCS, and without
a doubt, RH Cluster sux. It lacks features, and its main defense 
mechanism against split-brain is "Shoot the Other in the Head" via its
UPS, it's Fibre link, or the likes (they call if "Fence"). Instead of
better logic (how to detect split-brain? How to prevent it?), they use
brute-force in a way I didn't like. 
In my simple tests
(used HTTPD as a resource) the cluster was unable to recover from a
simple "pkill httpd" on the active node, and completely flunked my
tests.


I would recommend you
check Linux-HA. It is looking OK, seems adjustable to your needs, and
would probably work better. It is a bit more complicated to setup
(although it's not too complicated), but it can be controlled via
simple scripts, which can probably do what you wanted it to do.


Ez.

while all that is true, and there's nothing I'd like better than to put
in a different, better mechanism, it's the customer's demand that I do
it that way. why? because they are a windows shop, they know zilch about
Linux and are adamant about NOT having to learn it, and they have this
specific product to set up that is built on top of a third party
vendor's system which IS linux based, and that product comes with
specific demands for a RH cluster, for absolutely no good reason.

I can sit and recommend all day. the customer will disagree and I'll be
off the project... (in fact, I probably am as we speek, they seem to be
blaming me for bugs in that third party vendor's annoying undocumented
system)
