Can someone help with a software recommendation for a customer survey response on a website. I think that lime survey may be one such program. The goal is a website click that brings the visitor to a fill in the blank addressed email.

It simply sits in the panel and lets me know whan my camera is active. It's never come on except when i've deliberately fired up a Skype call or taken a self-portrait. i rarely use Chrome, but recently had the occasion to watch a bunch of videos ( http://www.youtube.com/user/TransformVoice?feature=watch, <http://www.youtube.com/user/TransformVoice?feature=watch> where i'm taking singing lessons and highly recommend to anyone who wants to do the same). Apparently i'd never used YouTube since installing Camera Monitor - as soon as i landed on YouTube, i was alerted that my camera was active! Shocking! Why do the denizens of the GooglePlex want to watch me watching? A quick search via Google (doh! i guess they're already watching me...) failed to produce anything relevant. Has anyone else noticed, or read of, this behavior? -- ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA ?? ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 00:19:55 -0700 From: Joseph Hume <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [PLUG] a LEAN linux using apt-get or yum To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed On 07/13/2012 02:12 PM, Bill Barry wrote: > On Fri, Jul 13, 2012 at 1:47 PM, Richard Owlett <[email protected]> wrote: >> Normal versions of Debian and Ubuntu fail both ways. >> Comments? > I don't know which normal versions you are talking about, but I always > install Debian using netinst. > http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ > > At some point during the installation it asks you which type of system > you are installing and you just uncheck everything. > What you get is a very small installation that will boot to a console. > >From there you can install things as you need them. > > Bill > _______________________________________________ > PLUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug I would have to second this method. On my Debian Net Installs I uncheck everything except for base system and ssh server. Never had a reason to check disk space on a fresh install, but the above two selections and additional packages vim, samba, and swat installed after a reboot, I have a machine that is using 953Mb out of a 19Gb partition.

Has anyone else noticed, > or read of, this behavior? I've heard of this before; it's a function in Flash, rather than YouTube proper. To disable it, right-click in the Flash window, and select the "Global Settings..." menu item. This will open a web page at Adobe that shows a small preferences-type panel. Though the page is Adobe's, the settings are live on your system. There is also a "Settings..." menu item that pops up a little preferences-type panel, and you can disable Flash's use of your camera, microphone, and hardware acceleration from there. Hope this helps. --Dale -- The Dilettante's Version of the Three Laws of Thermodynamics: One: You Can't Win. Two: You Can't Even Break Even.

I believe this is the best reference: http://www.robotstxt.org/ If Baidu doesn't follow your robots.txt, you can also do some trickery with mod_rewrite rules in your .htaccess, based on the user agent string.

Yay! Hopefully not too offtopic for PLUG, but does anyone know where the "Hack is not a four letter word" shirts came from? I'd love to give one to an ex-photojournalist I know.

This would be very interesting, especially if it includes how to shrink a logical volume. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug End of PLUG Digest, Vol 94, Issue 25 ************************************ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
