You receive a "Game paused" message when you try to load a saved game in Age of Empires III

I've been having this problem for quite some time now... but never took the initiative to look for a solution... but now I'm glad I did...

SYMPTOMS

When you try to load a saved game in Microsoft Age of Empires III, you receive the following message:

Game paused

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, when you load a saved game and receive the “Game paused” message, press the PAUSE/BREAK or F7 key to play the saved game. By default, the game is designed to load the saved game in the paused mode.

Ubuntu Keyserver Update Failure Fix

I was trying to update my Ubuntu PPA via terminal when I got this message. If it couldn't connect to the keyserver.ubuntu.com, how the heck it is going to get my key??? So here's the solution I found on http://www.serenux.com . Thanks to Allah, this article saved my day. :)


I get an “HTTP fetch” error when I try to import a GPG public key!
If you get the following error:

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C5E6A5ED249AD24C
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C5E6A5ED249AD24C
gpg: requesting key 249AD24C from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
$

It is because your firewall is blocking access to the Keyserver. Keyservers use port 11371 to communicate, not port 80 which is the normal HTTP port, so open 11371 as an outbound port on your firewall and re-run the command and it will work fine.

How to install Latest Firefox On Almost Any Ubuntu Version

Looking for a good tutorial on how to install Firefox 5.0 (Or any newer version other than what is in your Ubuntu default PPA)... I found this on Ubuntu Geek (My favourite Ubuntu tutorial site)


Mozilla Firefox 5 is the latest version of the Firefox web browser, released on June 21, 2011.This was the the first edition under the new faster-release regime Firefox kicked off in early 2011.


New features


Even though the GUI has not been changed, Firefox 5 features:


Improved HTML 5 and CSS3 support
Improved overall performance
Visibility of Do-Not-Track option has been increased (disabling the ability for advertisers to track browsing habits and install cookies on the computer)
Stability and security improvements


How to install firefox 5 on ubuntu


Open the terminal and run the following commands


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa


or


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


Or if you are running ubuntu 11.04 you can try sudo apt-get upgrade it should install latest version of firefox.


Localize your firefox 5 using the following command

where code is the two-letter symbol of your language.
