Gnome 2: Move the pointer to the top left. Click once on the appllications menu. Click once on the sub-menu and lastly click on the application laucher. New Gnome 3 Shell: Move the pointer to the top left corner. Move it to the Application link. Click once or more until you hit that link. Now wait... Just a bit more... Once the applications menu appear move the cursor to the right edge of the screen. Click on the menu item once or more until you hit it. Now if you are lucky there will be few items to choose from. Else take a long look at the icons list to find the one you want. If it is not there just scroll down and keep searching.

Comment It is not the server load (Score 1) 208

It is that it makes pages load slower because browsers do not cache SSL content unless the Cache-Control HTTP header is set to Public. When some of the content in a SSL page, like images, have that header set to Public the browser will show a warning stating that some of the content on that page is not secure frightening the user. So what will a site owner do? 1) Use SSL without browser caching and make the site much slower; 2) Use SSL setting some content as cacheable and risking loosing its users or; 3) Send everything in the open making the ignorant user happier?

Dogs Can Be Pessimistic 99

Not that it will change anything, but researchers at Bristol University say that your dog might be a gloom-monger. In addition to the downer dogs, the study also found a few that seemed happy no matter how uncaring the world around them was. "We know that people's emotional states affect their judgments and that happy people are more likely to judge an ambiguous situation positively. What our study has shown is that this applies similarly to dogs," said professor Mike Mendl, an author of the study and head of animal welfare and behavior at Bristol University.
