McCain for President?

I do not believe in politics but I think it is necessary to mention one thing. 
John McCain's son is in Iraq serving in military and he never use or abuse the fact for his campaign. What an noble man for this country! 
Many times one action is better than thousand words, right? 
None of the candidates are closer to the real war than McCain. 
I think he is the one for America.

Applecare Protection Plan??? Be careful

If you have a plan to buy applecare protection plan, make sure you keep the original receipt and make sure if you are buying from apple authorized reseller. This company will ask you the proof of purchase (mainly the purchase receipt) any time they want and will refuse the service or transfer of ownership if you purchased APP from non-authorized reseller. 
I could avoid damage by obtaining the receipt again from the store, but think what if I couldn't get it? 

Also, if you got financially damaged by this Apple's policy just drop me an e-mail, we may can start class action. I personally think that the policy is very selfish for the company and damaging many loyal users. I had very unpleasant phone conversion with apple customer relations representative treating me like a thief. 

This is my e-mail:

Nvidia 9755 driver and Ubuntu

NVidia 9755 driver works excellent on my Ubuntu edgy 6.10.

Download driver from nVidia website

and follow this instruction

don't forget to disable "nv" module no matter what.

I like new nvidia-settings utility.

Now you can set up dual screen on the fly. You dont' have to restart your x-server to set up dual screen

What an improvement! Now I dont' have to stick to OS X to do my presentation.

Here is the thing I still don't like.

For dual screen, both monitor should have same horizontal lines, otherwise you would have ghost screen area that you can not see.
