Apache fails to start with Unknown DAV provider: svn? when you try to start the Apache service. Install the mod_authz_svn.so and mod_dav_svn.so modules and specify the LoadModule lines in your configuration.

QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine architecture on a different machine architecture. This is different than VMware, VirtualBox, or Hyper-V where you’re running different operating systems on the same architecture.

First you’ll narrow the possible combinations from 64,000 down to 100. But you don’t have to try each of those 100 combos. There’s a simple task you go through to figure out the actual combination in a matter of minutes. Or just make a shim out of a coke can and pick it in 2 seconds. Now that you know a simple combo padlock is basically just a deterrent, you shouldn’t ever use one to lock up anything of real value.

How to make a ninja mask out of a tshirt. There’s a few ways to do this, and none of them involve cutting any holes in your tshirts. So simple even a caveman can do it.

Python’s keyring lib supports Windows win32crypto, Mac OS X’s SXKeychain, KDE’s KWallet, Gnome’s keyring, and encrypted or unencrypted password files. When your application wants to store or fetch data from the keyring, it will just work.

Install the prerequisites noted in the README file if you’re building swfdec and swfdec-mozilla from scratch. I found I only needed to install liboil-devel and gstreamer-plugins-base-devel in order for it to build without complaint. When installing from binary on my 64-bit os, I found I was missing a lot of 32-bit packages needed by the plugin, so my dependencies needed by swfdec-mozilla.i386 rpm was long.

I can understand not including the support by default. No need to create bloat, but I want flash support, so here goes… Install gnash-plugin, create a plugins directory under chrome and create a softlink to the .so file. about:plugins will show your shockwave flash plugin. Here’s some test sites to test it with.

I’ve seen several people play with the riot shield with varying degrees of success. If you have more deaths than kills but you win the round and have a higher score than some people with more kills than you, you’re doing something right. But what if you could get the kills and help your team mates out by playing as bait? Here are my three main riot shield loadouts.

Download a Fedora 12 DVD image from a fedora mirror. Install it on a system with the packages you want to be installed on your custom DVD distribution. Install isomaster. Edit 2 files, replace them in your image and burn. Yes, it’s that easy.

The google repo has google-desktop-linux, google-chrome-unstable, and a ton of other packages. Or you can just open the two links in a browser and download/install them from there. You’ll find things like the kmod-VirtualBox-OSE kernel module, mythtv, xmms, vlc, ffmpeg, libmpeg2, gstreamer, and Nestopia (remember nesticle, the Nintendo emulator?) here. You can get Adobe Reader here if you want to go full retard. I use a much faster pdf reader called “Poppler” (package name is poppler) that you can get in the standard repos.
