A modest suggestion about test accounts
Here is a modest suggestion that has recently occurred to me:
Don't give your test accounts the same password as your regularaccount.
It's not that I'm all that worried about security issues; it's that Iwant to avoid accidentally logging in as one account when I'm tryingfor the other. With separate passwords, I have to make an absent-mindedmistake with both the username and the password, instead of just theusername, and I figure this improves my odds.
自覺
人類常常有許多盲點。看不到，無從察覺，不懂裝懂，是因為自大，不細心和自以為是。

Running a 32-bit Firefox on a 64-bit Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise
It turns out that it is pretty easy to run a 32-bit Firefoxon a modern 64-bit Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise system,something that is periodically convenient. (For example,the current Sun ILOM client needs the 32-bit version ofJava. Maybe you could run things with nspluginwrapper , but I prefernot to take chances with a machine's console.)
First, you need to make sure you have the 32 bit version of Firefoxinstalled. I don't

Take My Words
A friend of mine recently told me that we doctors are keen on using abbreviations. Very true. Two types of languages exist in this planet: language used by mankind and the language medical doctors speak.
Doctors speak different language, a fact we must admit before any meaningful dialogue can be carried on. I was reminded of the occasions when my patient developed a stroke without obvious cause. "Mr. X, I’m sorry to tell you that your dad suffers from a cryptogenic stroke." Or, as most

甚麼都不緊要，除了... ...
久休復出，到悉尼打了個白鴿轉。
回來後，腰痛得想發癲。
不過，不緊要。
回來後，40小時沒睡過我想起「油盡燈枯」這四字。
不過，不緊要。
回來後，被惹病了喉痛聲沙耳痛頭暈。
不過，不緊要。
有甚麼緊要得過我天天節食
Linux's umount -f forces IO errors
Here is something that I had to find the moderately hard way:
When used on an NFS filesystem, Linux's
umount -fwill force anyoutstanding IO operations to fail with an error, whether or not theunmount will succeed.
This can be both good and bad, but on the whole I think it's mostly bad.
If the NFS server has died completely and the outstanding IO can neversucceed, you do want things to abort now instead of hanging around. Inthis case umount -f '
The weird effects of Firefox's remote control on Unix
I hope that Firefox's remote control feature is reasonably well known,but I suspect most people don't know about the surprising and relativelyweird effects it has in the Unix version of Firefox; certainly itsurprised my co-workers when they stumbled across it.
(Remote control is the feature where if you already have a runningFirefox and try to start another one, it will just open a new browserwindow (or tab) in the first one.)
The root of the surprising behavior comes from how
