What exactly happens when you browse a website in your browser? @ruda.almeida :) "Nzhôô" is the closest equivalent I could find with a quick search as an Apache term for an exclamation of elation. It apparently translates to "good". (Not sure, unfortunately, whether any of the Apache languages actually use the word in that context, though I would think it likely.) |

Computer silently stops activity at random intervals to wait for any user activity @Matt Well, I never did fix it in any sort of proper way. I ended up taping a mouse to a rotating tabletop fan, in order to complete a large data transfer (moving any relevant data away from the thing). After that I moved on to another computer. And if I have any say in it, I'll stay at a good distance from any others like it too... Weirdest thing I've ever encountered, and very comforting to hear I'm not the only one - proves I'm not going crazy. :) |

Computer silently stops activity at random intervals to wait for any user activity @TFM However, taping the mouse to a moving object does work since automated mouse movements subverts the issue, while music would have no effect... unless, maybe, if the music had a loud enough bass to move the mouse. :) |

Computer silently stops activity at random intervals to wait for any user activity 1) It could be some sort of sleep thing, but the computer certainly isn't doing any sort of standard sleep/standby. Those I can trigger from the OS, and they don't behave like this weird issue. E.g. on sleep the screen and power shut down, which doesn't happen when this happens. Yes, the screen really does remain active, and the sudden halt of activity is completely transparent to me, unless I have the computer doing something which suddenly stops proceeding. That's why I only noticed it with this file transfer issue. 2) The system doesn't use encryption, but an interesting thought. |

Computer silently stops activity at random intervals to wait for any user activity Attaching the mouse to a moving object is a valid outside-the-box hack to try to solve my actual problem - especially using scripted CD-tray activity is a rather clever idea, I think! But the weirdness of it should definately be noted in the answer in a "If all else fails..." -fashion. I'm saying this because (ahem) I in fact did end up duct-taping the mouse to a rotating table fan for the remainder of the file transfer. (Oh, and it was surprisingly easy to set it up as reliable by making the mouse only rock a bit.) But I of course do not consider this an actual fix for the issue! :) |

How can I update gcc to the latest version in Ubuntu 10.04? Btw, Ubuntu specific questions can also be asked at Ask Ubuntu StackExchange site. |

Thunderbird “unified folders” not working after moving my profile Well your links did lead me to the correct solution, which was to delete panacea.dat and all .msf files from the profile folder. That even retained the folder selection I had on my Unified Inbox. Source: "Phantom folders" mozillaZine article |

How do I manually mount a linux file system read/write as a normal user? Thanks! This worked for me with ext3. Note that I had to first mount the ext3 filesystem into some mount directory, then mount that directory with bindfs into the final directory. |

How do I manually mount a linux file system read/write as a normal user? Any idea whether this should work with EXT3 as well? I get EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "uid=1000" or missing value in dmesg when I try it with ext3. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer So the drivers are the same as the "bluetooth stack"? I wonder why Windows didn't find the drivers for the bluetooth adapter on the first time then. Oh well, in a surprising turn of events, BTW, the Toshiba BT adapter actually physically broke today, and I had to get a new one. :) Well, the same procedure still works. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer @harrymc: If you write this solution (something about switching back to Microsoft stack) as a new answer, I'll gladly accept that to pay the bounty rep! |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer Yes! The problem was that the Toshiba stack saved its keys into some other location. Key revelation for me was that I can remove the Toshiba stack but still have my bluetooth dongle working. After switching to Microsoft stack, the link key was found in the location SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys\[BD_ADDR] and it could be copied into linux side, just as the forum post I linked described. I can now confirm that my phone is now correctly working as double paired to both windows and linux side. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer Well, I removed the Toshiba bluetooth stack, but the bluetooth adapter still works, now with Microsoft stack. Interesting. I assume the Toshiba stack and Toshiba drivers are independent, but the installer installed both of them without ever asking me if I'm interested in the stack at all (which I really wasn't). Ok, now to see if the pairing works, and if the pairing key can be found from the place where it should be... |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer Well, Windows didn't find any of its own drivers when I first plugged in the device - I'd rather use Microsoft than third party drivers. But since Windows didn't find them, I had to get the Toshiba drivers. They also happen to be some really annoying trial version (the drivers that came with the device didn't have a Win7 version), so I would be more than happy to get rid of them... |
