I'd like my kernel vanilla, please

Yep, vanilla is the flavor of the kernel for me. I like using vanilla in #funtoo. It is nice and it is simple. No patches. No security watch-cha-ma-call-it or anything like that. Just me and that good 'ol penguin; which deals with my hardware, networking and you-name-it systems.

I, honestly, don't know what's happening here. I dunno if you're delegating pulseaudio to jack or viseversa. Anyway, I use this method to enable my http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/scarlett-18i20 in Fedora 20. I hope it helps out:

HowTo: Change your css according to client's time

I am no fan of javascript. In fact, I despise it. But, recently, it occured to me that it would be cool to change the CSS theme according to the client's time.

Here's how:

function change_css_according_to_time() {

I ran through hell today!

I tried doing things the old way. You know; edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 in order to set it to a static IP. Well, bad idea.

Basically, this is a HowTo that prevents the usage of a browser in https://developers.google.com/cloud/sdk/ installation.

Why?

I've been having this problem lately:

My Fedora 20 would freeze; after a while, while using the <em>xorg-x11-drv-ati</em> driver.
