Subject: [OT] looking for pci graphic boards
Despite being off topic I was hoping that someone on this list may have a
couple such cards (pci based graphic boards) lying around. I know they are
ancient and useless to most but maybe someone has a couple stockpiled in some
attic.
We got a couple of tesla boards for our Uni lab and unfortunately the
motherboard we got at the moment (intel dragontail - dp35dp) only has one pci-e
x16 slot and it won't post at all without a graphics card. As the tesla isn't
recognized as a graphics board and it takes up the pci-e slot the only other
options is a pci card.
The two machines are supposed to run headless so any board that is recognized
as a graphics board and fits in a pci slot will do as all it's job is to get
the machine to boot. Otherwise, if someone knows how to get these motherboards
to boot with no graphics card I'll be even happier.
Thanks

Firefox file associations
Hi, Pardon my stupidity and confusion, I have what seems to be a rather simple question, but I feel lost. How can I add/modify a file/application association in Firefox? On Linux or on WinXP for that matter? I tried to read every FM I could find and the answer seems, amazingly, you can't. It seems so basic that I refuse to believe there is no solution unless/until someone here confirms the sad state of affairs. Here is the specific problem. I want to click on a link to a CSV file to open it in a spreadsheet, be it OOCalc or Gnumeric or Linux, Excel on Windows, etc. However, Firefox (3.5.5 on both platforms) apparently recognizes it as a text file and cheerfully opens it itself, as plain text, which is not what I want. The Edit-Preferences (Tools-Options on WIndows) popup has an Applications tab that lists Actions, but CSV is not listed and there isn't any way to add it. The docs say that the only way to add a new file type to the list is the first time you click on a link to this type of file, where it offers you to download or open with. In this case I doubt even that was ever available since apparently it is just a text file to Firefox. I found a knowledge base article saying the only way to modify file associations is to install a SeaMonkey add-on. I went to look at the add-on - it seems totally obsolete, is supposed to work with FF 2.0 and is known to be buggy with 3.1. I will think a dozen times before installing it. Firefox does not seem to look at system customizations in this case either. I *know* my KDE associates CSV files with OOCalc and Windows - with Excel (the latter is the default, I think). Konqueror and IE do the right thing. FWIW, my browser of choice is Konqueror which is mostly sane. However, I am testing something and I can't afford to omit Firefox from the list of target browsers. What am I missing? Has Firefox been dumbed down to this extent?

[SEMI-OFFTOPIC] eBook reader recommendations, anyone?
What does the collective wisdom of the Israeli Linux users know about the current crop of eBook readers? Any recommendations? Do the following requirements make sense? 1. Ability to display PDF files. 2. Full-fledged browser for displaying locally-cached HTML files. 3. Ability to display text files from the Gutenberg project. 4. Full Unicode (including BiDi handling) support. 5. Optional lighting, battery powered, for at least 12 hours (for reading at night when there is power outage). 6. Display dimensions: about 36 by 23 cm (14-15 by 9-10 inches), for convenient display of two book pages side by side. 7. Ability to display two windows, side by side, each one displaying different content. 8. Capacity: at least 10GB (enough to store the entire Hebrew Wikipedia). 9. WiFi connection (to download reading materials from a host PC). 10. Note: no requirement to read DRM-protected eBooks. Does there exist an eBook reader, which meets the above requirements? --- Omer P.S.: the semi on-topic nature of this E-mail message is due to the high likelihood of the ideal eBook being Linux-based. -- One does not make peace with enemies.

Re: [SEMI-OFFTOPIC] eBook reader recommendations, anyone?
what is this fantastic device you have invented? 14-15 by 9-10 inches display? most ebook readers are much much smaller. perhaps you should take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_e-book_readers - there is a big matrix there comparing all features of most devices on the market. also, i think there is some mistake in your basic notion about ebook readers given your feature wishlist - since all devices today are designed as book replacements, not laptop replacements (two windows displaying different content side by side does not sound like something an ebook must do in my opinion) - and thus their size and features are appropriately set. this is also how the kindle got so popular - it set out to do a task and does it well (never mind the yucky proprietary formats business right now). also a netbook is an interesting idea, however then you miss out on the whole e-ink thing which is basically the biggest selling point of en ebook reader in the first place. i don't really understand the need of displaying two pages side by side, unless you are reading a comic book, and you have reached some two page spread. or otherwise some technical diagram that would require a humongous amount of space to view (in which case they invented the zoom and dragging options). it kind of smells of sticking to old design paradigms and not realizing that we just read one page at a time anyway. just my way of looking at it - i think a device like you are specifying is very nice, it just seems a bit like you want the best of both world (eating the cake and leaving it whole). perhaps future devices such as the crunchtablet, that looks like it is stuck and won't be manufactured, or some other similar device on the way, would suit you best. tom. 2009/12/16 geoffrey mendelson geoffreymendel...@gmail.com On Dec 16, 2009, at 9:40 PM, Omer Zak wrote: What does the collective wisdom of the Israeli Linux users know about the current crop of eBook readers?
