Google Blogoscopednoticed something interesting there.
It reads: “play 23 21 13 16 21 19 . 7 1 13 5”.
Interesting.noticed these were all numbers that could represent letters from the alphabet (a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 and so on).

Felt very excited when I came to know about this. Tad tried with Wumpus sometime ago. Glad that Google has brought it back to spotlight!.

Automatic Installation of Flash Plugin Failed.
After checking that Macromedia Flash was missing, giving the option to install,License Agreement etc.when proceeded to install. It failed and informed me to do a manual install.
- Flash Plugin can be downloaded here.
- extract and run the flashplayer-installer.
- it will ask:
Giving anything other than your Installed Browser's lib directory will fail.
Here,after googling and checking few forums, I did locate firefox | grep lib and got the answer as /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/. Yeah, Firefox
lib directory is at /usr/lib/firefox-X.X.X where X.X.X is the version number and plugin directory is present inside this.
-Verify your flash-plugin installation by checking this.
Note: I did not have to close my firefox browser when I installed the plugin.

Troubleshooting X server resolution problem in Linux
X was in a very bad shape after I followed the workaround for the problem in FC4. Only 600X800 resolution was available. tried many things(Xorg -configure,system-config-display..etc),upto the downloading a new X11 and not knowing what to do. Finally went to the 600x800 mode only went to display resolutions and saw that video card is incorrectly indentified. Changed it to Intel 815e and restarted X. Now its working. I was thinking of reinstall FC4 to FC3 itself for this. :(
