Unusual Problem using Java Plugin with Mozilla
by Rajen M. Parekh 20 Apr '03

20 Apr '03

Hi all, I have installed JRE 1.4.0 downloaded from Sun Microsystems. I am trying to run a java applet in Mozilla, but I am facing an unusual problem. When I am running mozilla as a normal user, it crashes if I try to load the java applet. But if I run mozilla as root, then the java applet is correctly loaded and runs smoothly. I can't figure out the problem. I read the java installation docs and the setup seems to be perfectly allright. I have also checked out mozilla.org. But my problem is a bit different, since the applet is running if I run mozilla as root, but not otherwise. Any pointers ? I am using Red Hat Linux 8.0. (Full Installation - i.e. installed all the packages), and Mozilla 1.0.1. Regards, Rajen. P.S. 1 : I still haven't found a solution for being able to use all the fonts (True Type) installed on the system, while using some gtk+ applications. Eg. Abiword, Gnumeric, Gedit, etc. I had posted a mail earlier in this regard. Still awaiting for some feedback. P.S. 2: For Pine users moving towards GUI, I recommend Open Webmail (a Web based Email Client). Has most (not all) of the features of Pine. Additionally has facility for accessing POP3 mails. What I miss most is the keystrokes of Pine. With Mozilla, I have yet to get used to finding the right keys. But GUI users comfortable with using mouse should find it worth giving a try. -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)

[OFFTOPIC] Please help, looking for framegrabbers for linux
by Rahul Saxena 20 Apr '03

20 Apr '03

Hello, We ( students Fr. CRCE, final year, BE electronics ) are doing a project for developing a system similar to the ones used in robosoccer. (http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~robosoccer/) NO one we know of has implemented the whole robosoccer system yet, in India. One of the major aspects of this involves using real-time image processing for finding out the locations of robots and the ball in the game. We have developed most of the stuff using IntelOpenCV computer vision library and using personal USB webcams, however we are not able to get the required performance with these cameras.. *the frame rate is really slow ( average 2 fps ) *the image quality is also bad we are wondering if anyone can lend us any frame grabber cards which have linux drivers, for a couple of weeks, so that we can really test the efficiency of our routines and stuff like that. we can use both the routines and the webcam under windows, but then really we will be missing the point of doing a project like this ! any pointers are appreciated !

About Firebird
by Amol Hatwar 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

Hi, In the recent confusion about Mozilla, Phoenix and Firebird; I got this urge to take the real Firebird (database) for a spin. I just wanted to know if anybody has tried it out before. ah _____________ It's most certainly GNU/Linux, and not Linux. Read more here: http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html

Misuse of 'hacker', again
by Manish Jethani 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

Here's yet another great example of the gross misuse of the term 'hacker' by the under-informed media: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/apr2003/tc20030416_7638_tc02… A quick search on google, for some background: http://www.google.com/search?q=misuse+of+term+hacker Imagine how angry a Muslim would be at an article titled "Should You Hire a Muslim?"--the author going by the assumption that all Muslims are terrorists. If you're a Muslim living in the US post 9/11, or if you have Muslim friends in a similar situation, you'll understand what I mean. Just as all Muslims are not terrorists (it's a real, real shame we have to explain this to some over-patriotic jerk in the US), all hackers are not social outlaws who break into systems to steal private data or cripple the system. A good hacker is capable of such stuff, and some hackers do, but the vast majority don't! Kevin Mitnick *might* be a hacker--I don't know, I don't care. Even if he is a hacker, he's also a guy, white, American, etc. and his name begins with 'K'. Is it fair to say that all white American guys whose names begin with 'K' are criminals? A hacker is only as likely to be a lawbreaker as, say, a carpenter, doctor, sportsperson, soldier, musician, lawyer (yes!) or even policeman. I'm proud to be associated with the hacker community of GNU, Linux and the Internet, and I urge my fellow hackers to raise their voices against such tarnishing use of our name. -Manish -- disclaimer: "The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation."
