 We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when
 we created them.

Which is pretty apt, because the nested table with 99% width doesn't reflect 
best practice in web design these days ...

   Assuming your uid is 1000, primary group 1000, you can then use options
   something like:
   
   uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0007,fmask=0117
   
   which gives a sane unix-like set of permissions. Nothing close to
   windows but a) you don't have to be root to use it and b) the www user
   can't trash your files on the ntfs volume.
   
   Like I said, I've never used ntfs-3g but the above is a pretty common
   permissions model and it's reasonable to assume ntfs-3g probably
   implements it or something similar. As always, read the fine docs and
   YMMV.
  
  Thanks Neil, much appreciated.  I'll have a play with the dmask, fmask
  settings as you suggest and see what gives.

Thank you very much for this tip. I use chromium and fortunately there
exists the Stylish chrome extension. I got it working with the code
you gave by just snipping the moz-document line.

When I inspect the element and check the page source I understand
where td.content and p comes from but could you explain what 'em'
suffix to 40 means please?

The em is just a length measurement.

[gentoo-user] kdm and pam issues after resume

2010-10-04 Thread Andrey Vul
Upon resuming my laptop from standby, kdm's screen locker does
nothing, and /bin/login lags a lot before Password: comes up.
Googling has led me to think that this might be a consolekit issue, as
the syslog has cannot create /var/lib/kdm-4.5: Permission denied
lines, in addition to the lag going away after Alt+Sysrq+{R,S,E,I} and
reappearing after running init 3 to restart the killed processes.
The lag in console mode is kinda like this:
agetty
\- login [lag]
\-\- bash [lag]

Apart from rebooting, are there any real solutions (apart from k-9ing
the screen locker)? bugs.gentoo/295376,295799 are kinda vague.
