Solution To Revert Back From New Yahoo! Mail to Yahoo! Mail Classic.
I have examined the New Yahoo! Mail brings problems to the user. Directly, there is no way to break back into the previous version of Yahoo! Mail for not given the facilities (no link / button) to go back. Therefore, I have found other methods of indirect methods (unofficial).
Here it goes :
a) The first method is to reduce the screen resolution to the lowest resolution. Thereafter, refresh / web site in Yahoo! Mail. Yahoo! Mail system will display a message that says a low screen resolution can not accommodate New Yahoo! Mail. Thus, users will be proposed a link to go-back to the previous version of Yahoo! Mail. Just press the link, Yahoo Mail will go back to Yahoo! Mail Classic.
b) The second method is to disable Java Plug-in in the web browser . After disabling, then refresh the page and the user will see the first method display. Just follow the instructions and Mail Classic can be recovered.

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
$It is because your firewall is blocking access to the Keyserver. Keyservers use port 11371 to communicate, not port 80 which is the normal HTTP port, so open 11371 as an outbound port on your firewall and re-run the command and it will work fine.
How to install Latest Firefox On Almost Any Ubuntu Version
Looking for a good tutorial on how to install Firefox 5.0 (Or any newer version other than what is in your Ubuntu default PPA)... I found this on Ubuntu Geek (My favourite Ubuntu tutorial site)
Mozilla Firefox 5 is the latest version of the Firefox web browser, released on June 21, 2011.This was the the first edition under the new faster-release regime Firefox kicked off in early 2011.
New features
Even though the GUI has not been changed, Firefox 5 features:
Improved HTML 5 and CSS3 support
Improved overall performance
Visibility of Do-Not-Track option has been increased (disabling the ability for advertisers to track browsing habits and install cookies on the computer)
Stability and security improvements
How to install firefox 5 on ubuntu
Open the terminal and run the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa
or
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Or if you are running ubuntu 11.04 you can try sudo apt-get upgrade it should install latest version of firefox.
Localize your firefox 5 using the following command
sudo apt-get install firefox-locale-$code
where code is the two-letter symbol of your language.

nbtscan - NETBIOS nameserver scanner
A very useful tool to scan NetBios name instead of basic IP Scanning. A Linux / Network Admin must-have-tool. Thumbs Up!!!
This is a command-line tool that scans for open NETBIOS nameservers on a local or remote TCP/IP network, and this is a first step in finding of open shares. It is based on the functionality of the standard Windows tool nbtstat, but it operates on a range of addresses instead of just one. I wrote this tool because the existing tools either didn't do what I wanted or ran only on the Windows platforms: mine runs on just about everything.
