late bloomer to YouTube -- thanks to the detective Goren

It's been over a year since YouTube took sensational debut and remains darling, bought up by Google, and is on a trial for being too popular. The very reason I statyed away from this popular portal for video sharing.

While looking up Google's Test Automation clips, I accidentally stumbled on Youtube, and voila, there are so many of short clips of Law and Order: CI with different music choices, many I do dearly like so, as music video clips and a few full length episode!

I spent hours clicking through, listening to beattles, linkin park, ..., and watching endless clips of episodes I'm so familiar with. ^^ oops, it's almost 2am, time to go to sleep? or one more clip to view. maybe i should start making my own music video to upload. there are sooooo many, it's good thing I don't need to get up at 7am to go to work.

Not quite two weeks after Davem got himself an Intel machine w/ 19" deal(which, of course he upgraded to 22"), Dell posted new deals.

Is it like 'Deal or No Deal'? I told him to wait 'til like 4th of July, as I got a rather fantastic deal over christmas, putting myself out of business on putting hardware together. Dell's Athlon Duo 64 with 19" LCD, 1gig memory and 160gig disk with free shipping for like $450 or so was pretty sweet.

As usual, he didn't have patience of Jobs, and insist on fulfilling his instant gratification. Like a week after he got his new system, I'm on stealdeals.net to look for any brookstone coupons and I see Dell's C521 with 19" and 1gig and all the thing I got over christmas for $479 again.

Didn't really let me take off monitor for more discount, but this still is a good deal.

of course, banana republic's 40% off and free shipping stuffs and old navy's 2 for 1 deal didn't really escape my eyes.

shopping! shopping! they really know how to squeaze and torment you with the deals.

fixing mousy fedora core 5 bug

after an overbearing 2months without mouse cursor and embarking 2nd fc 5 system (dell w/ dual partitioning being done to share with windows vista), i finally caught up and googled around in search for an answer.

after a few different posting, all pointed to comment #20 of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182517.
basically /etc/X11/xorg.conf need to be updated:
adding:
## fehlender cursor, hwcursor off rhb#182517
Option "HWCursor" "off"

to

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge"
EndSection

to make it:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge"
## fehlender cursor, hwcursor off rhb#182517
Option "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection

i was about to be good at sensing where my mouse was pointing to without seeing the cursor points, but seeing it doesn't bother me either. necessary, indeed, is a mother of invention, or in this case a mother of fixing
