AntiVirus Problems on Windows

Bitdefender dragged all space off my main drive taking it from 2.5 Gb to 200 Mb. Killer Antivirus virus?

gcc 4.3 porting

Any installation is killing time on and on with errors due to gcc 4.3 porting issues. finding the right include files is easier from here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html

But, thanks a trillion to Martin Michlmayr and his website which threw upon all mysteries.

for strtol and strtod problems, #include

Google Chrome

Google Chrome is eye candy. the missing status bar leaves me unhappy. And then another huge problem is the crashing of sound drivers whenever I use Chrome.

http://www.google.com/chrome is a good place to experiment. No place for linux yet, which makes it even sad.
http://blogoscoped.com/google-chrome/ is a good way to start the journey. A small comic that defines its purpose.

here's a page from their cartoon series.





The Happy part : great sleek minimal interface, the speed, Multi-threading in browser--YEY, no more crashes.

The Sad Part : kills my sound in windows. :( need to restart whenever I use chrome.

amarok : making lyrics work

the wiki lyrics plugin works well
But the requirement for fedora core 9 is ruby-gtk2.

the easiest way to get that would be :
yum install ruby-gtk2*

next follows downloading the plugin from the net and installing it. Once it is installed, go to tools --> script manager --> lyrics. and click on Wiki-lyrics and then on run.

if there is no error message but still the lyrics do not function, try :

export http_proxy = "Proxy IP HERE : PORT HERE"
mine was :
export http_proxy="192.168.36.204:8080"

ProxyType=1
httpProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/
httpsProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/
ftpProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/
3) Save the file and restart amarok!
