Problem:

As my past as a windows user condemns me, I tend to press “PAUSE” key to pause the execution of regular bash/prompt programs, this techinique works just fine on windows, however on linux it dosen’t. Now, how do i pause a program for a while, let’s say WGET without killing the application?

Solution:

freeze:

kill -stop <PID>

unfreeze:

kill -cont <PID>

dovecot: Mmm dd hh:ii:ss Error: POP3(username): mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/username

Solution:

It looks like your happy username has no `mail` folder created, yes, this is obscure.

You need to create a folder called mail and don’t forget to give ownership to the user:

mkdir /home/username/mail

chown username:usergroup /home/username/mail

I was looking around to fix bugs on IE opacity settings and found out this article, although the rgba don’t work on ie6 <= , it seemed pretty good for me, not only because it’s less code, but it’s smarter; and it’s also an old thing!

On this sample i will have an some_css class with 50% transparency, on the usual method you need to do lots of statements to be compatible with all major browsers, not only that but this makes things harder when you have elements inside the parent element that shouldn’t be transparent.

Problem:

.some_css {

filter:alpha(opacity=50);
opacity:0.5;
-moz-opacity:0.5;
position:relative;

}

Solution:

.some_css {

background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);

}
