There's so much to learn reading product reviews before you purchase anything online. This is only possible because after purchasing a responsible buyer should make time warning other consumers about the product he bought. I am in the market for storage devices. I'm looking for a 2 TB internal hard drive plus SATA and power cables. I'm looking for some discounts and I found one. One reviewer who sounds like he tested the hard drive and found the device age. This supposed brand new hard drive has 1,800 days of power on in its logs. Recently manufactured hard drives are SMART capable. SMART makes it possible for each device to monitor itself, log how many times it's powered on, how many days (sometimes hours) it's been used. I have a SSD that's receiving (and sending) data to its manufacturer / vendor. The vendor even runs tests on the SSD from time to time. So all these data and logs are saved in SMART data.
We should be making time and filling out that product review space after purchasing online.
Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.
