Jdrama Satorare

Was watching a Japanese drama by name "Satorare" which deals with a fictitious health condition that afflicts 1 in a core people.People who are afflicted by this it seems can communicate their thoughts unknowing to others around him or her in a limited range.The people who are born this way are monitored by Government agencies.These people supposedly are geniuses.
Overall an interesting theme.The soap was thought provoking ,funny as well as interesting

Unable to browse in openSUSE

When i started out on Linux more specifically openSUSE 11.0/Gnome i had trouble browsing the internet using firefox , seamonkey.The browser would work well for the first minute then it would be non responsive or very slow in loading the pages.The same problem would not occur on opera.
The issue seems to have been with my network connection couldn't support IPV6 protocols.This issue should afflict other gecko based browsers like flock

The issue was solved using the following solution:-

In firefox address bar type in "about:config" and press return/enter
Then accept the warning page
Look for .. network.dns.disableIPv6 and set it to "true".

This will fix the problem instantly

Totem crash resolved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whenever i used to play audio files like mp3 on Totem it used to crash.
Totem used to work fine on openSUSE 11.0/gnome
The problem started when i switched to Gnome/openSUSE 11.2
I reinstalled entire codec packs for Gnome/openSUSE 11.2,ugly,bad what not!!!
Then finally I switched off the visualization by name "GOOM" and everything works fine now.
I should have realized this long ago as i found that Totem did not crash when playing video files like "avi"
