This is a confirmed bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540554

To fix it, you just need to go in the config editor and set

mail.server.default.use_condstore

to false, supposedly.

Just a simple way to test that an ATX power supply is functional (or dead).

ATX Power Supply Test

This has been fixed as of update 1.

If you’ve tried to install the vSphere client on Windows 7, you’ve undoubtedly come across errors like the following:

Error parsing the server "192.168.2.2" "clients.xml" file.
Login will continue, contact your system administrator.

and

The type initializer for 'VirtualInfrastructure.Utils.HttpWebRequestProxy' threw an exception.

Although Windows 7 is fully released now, nobody seems to feel like supporting it. Though, I guess Microsoft did kindof rush it out the door… Anyway, there’s a nice PowerShell script out there that allows you to fix this stupidity. After browsing the VMWare community, I came across this URL:

http://www.tinyint.com/index.php/2009/09/04/vsphere-client-on-windows-7/

I followed the instructions and now everything is working the way it should be. Maybe VMWare could just… do this for you ?

A strikingly similar situation as with the Sun I posted about earlier. The installation actually was quite easy after having completed the Sun configuration.

1. Install LDAPUX (available from HP’s site somewhere, just google for ‘download ldapux’).
2. On slapd: Make sure the ‘profile’ OU is accessible by anybody. It doesn’t store sensitive data, but should be able to be read by the HP-UX system in question.
3. Follow the instructions on: this guy’s blog
4. Make sure you do this stuffs too!
   1. Make sure you select option 1 when it asks which type of directory server you’re trying to connect to.
   2. Make sure your ‘credentialLevel’ is set to ‘proxy’ if you want to use a proxy user.

Well worth mentioning:

There’s a way more updated version of the iSCSI Initiator on the developer’s public FTP site.

ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/users/danny/freebsd/

With this version I’m now seeing acceptable IO (around 65MB/s reads/writes) after setting tags=256 in iscsi.conf.

All credits to the developer.

Because I’m in the US, I have fairly bad connectivity to that site. I’ve mirrored it here:
