Whenever I use dark theme like Ambiance or DarkRoom, the pop up menu in Skype was unreadable as both the font and background color was dark.

I'm not much of a Facebook user, but the recent change of events in my life has made me use it more often. Following stuff in Facebook chat are cool. Make text bold make your text bold by placing it inside * (asterisk). we are *friends.* Make underline make your text underlined by placing it inside _ (underscore). We are _friends._ And finally :putnam: is cool emotion.

First read this  http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2010/02/upside-down-web-cam-simple-fix.html If you have same problem but in other program like Flash and so, then the fix is same. Just run the executable of the desire program instead of Skype. For eg. if you have problem with upside down cam in flash and you are using some browser(lets say Google Chrome) to video chat then: Close the browser. Run in terminal: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so google-chrome or if it is 32 bit system LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so google-chrome

Update: You may want to read this (Specially the bump charging part) before you move forward. My HTC Desire's charge would drop to 93%, 91% or 90% very quickly after removing from the AC charger. I came to this post on xda-developers.com that help me fixed the problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7690163&postcount=1  Basically all you have to do is: Charge your phone until the notification led is green. Disconnect the charger. Power off the phone. Reconnect the charger. Charge until the notification led is green. Disconnect the charger. Power on the phone. Power off the phone again, once its powered on completely. Reconnect the charger until the notification led is green.  Disconnect the charger power it on and use it.

Gmote is an Android Remote. I was having problem running the Ubuntu client on my 64 bit Lucid Lynx. Though the application was very easy to start, just run a script, it was not working. It was giving error like "Can't obtain static method fromNative from class com.sun.jna.Native" and "There was an error running the gmote server, Please visit http://www.gmote.com/faq for more information". The solution was to fix the script by changing the java path. From, java -classpath bin:lib/jna.jar:lib/slf4j-api-1.5.3.jar:lib/swing-worker-1.2.jar org.gmote.server.GmoteServerUiLinux & to: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java -classpath bin:lib/jna.jar:lib/slf4j-api-1.5.3.jar:lib/swing-worker-1.2.jar org.gmote.server.GmoteServerUiLinux & where, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java happens to be my 64 bit java.
