It would be easier to answer this question if you told us whether you are looking at new or used vehicles; and what type of vehicle you wanted to buy. Pickup trucks usually do not have center consoles. Older large size american sedans also do not have consoles. Vans and SUVs are also more likely to not have console...

Since the update to 12.04, there's been a problem specifically related to audio/video playback in Google Chrome.
The problem only affected the Google version but not the Chromium nor the Firefox Browsers.

Just to add for windows users with same problem who may have stumbled across this thread like me: I had also 3 plugin files like you see in the answer. two in \Users\...\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\... and another in \Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\... Disable the Chrome plugins but leave the Macromedia plugin active,...

Update July 19th 2012:
As of today, this happened once again, and I solved it with the same method, so this could apply to any version. It's not clear (at least for me) if this is a bug related to Chrome updates or something else. If someone could clarify this, I would be grateful. On the other hand, if you go down to this road, take it as a...
The solution:
Here's what I did.
1. On Google Chrome entered chrome://plugins/ and look where the flash plugin was. I saw that there were 3 different plugins installed.
enter image description here
1. On the right side of the window I pressed the "+" sign on "Details".
enter image description here
1. I disabled (by clicking on "disable") each one of them, one at a time, and finally, after some tests, the one that worked for me was the one that was called /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so (the "original" flash plugin, and not the integrated chrome version). enter image description here
I'm no expert, but I think there are some problems related to the integrated version, so untill a new version is released, I'll stick to the "original" plugin.
Hope it works for you!

thanks a lot, it seems to help. :) –  weima Aug 30 '12 at 20:43
For whatever reason I only had one flash plugin installed - adobes's. And still kept having these annoying audio interruptions / stuttering. Step 1 from this official ubuntu help page did the trick. Was some sort of conflict with alsa. –  gorlum0 Sep 2 '12 at 11:33
Thanks gorlum0 for this link! this solution (only step 1) not only fixed the sound issues related to flash in Chrome, but in Firefox as well!! Was a little bit dubious command (as it works the kernel in some way), but worked perfectly in the end. Great! –  Brüno Sep 18 '12 at 17:10
I was able to fix this problem by doing killall pulseaudio and rm -r ~/.pulse* rather than the entire reinstallation command linked to by gorlum0. (I tried messing with about:plugins first, but it didn't completely work.) –  nkorth Dec 1 '12 at 18:51
I'm in 11.10 using Chromium 24.x. With chromium, we only have /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so. So, no point looking at about:plugins. I just tried killall pulseaudio, and the sound stuttering in videos just stopped. Noticed that pulseaudio instance was spawned when I killed it. –  KasunBG May 6 '13 at ...

Uwe Boll makes Blubberella — "the first female fat superhero"
In a desperate attempt to stay relevant, director Uwe Boll is making a ridiculously offensive fatsploitation movie called Blubberella. "She will kick major ass - with her major ass." Dear Hollywood, please stop giving this man money. Love, the universe.
Twitch film stumbled upon this poster while rooting through The Film Catalog.
Very little information is out there, and the poster is pretty low quality, but we think the tag line sums up everything we need to know about this project:
The three Bloodrayne fans have to be pretty excited about their movie poster shout-out.
Boll is doing what he does best — pathetically poking the masses hoping to generate an angry, free PR machine. But the honest-to-goodness truth is that this film will most likely be so wretched (both in theory and in execution) that hopefully it will just die out on its own, in development hell. Until then, we're braci...

I have a batch file, this batch file will not start automatically, it will only run when i double click on it.
Can I run the batch file in the background when I double click on it.
share|improve this question

Well, you can start it minimized with start, if that is enough. Really hiding it is difficult (although I can think of an option right now).
Basically you need to determine whether the batch has been started by double-clicking it. You can do this by defining a special variable and look for it:
@echo off
if not defined FOO (
set FOO=1
start /min "" %~0
exit /b
rem here whatever you wanted to do originally in the batch
As long as the FOO variable isn't defined (which is probably the default almost everywhere), this batch will launch itself minimized again, but with the variable defined first. Environments are passed to subprocesses, which is why this works.

This is my favorite method. I love this snippet. –  djangofan Nov 2 '11 at 19:03
you would generally need something else to run the script in that manor i.e. Create a shortcut, and set the “Run” field for the shortcut to “Minimized’.
share|improve this answer
Once you click or tab away from the cmd.exe window that the batch file is running it, it's "in the background" -- I'm not really sure what you want but it sounds like you might be asking how to run the batch file without displaying the cmd.exe window.
If so I can think of two ways: first, you can create a shortcut to the batch file, right click it, and in the properties there set the shortcut to run minimized (should be a drop down option next to Run).
You can also wrap invocation of the batch file in a VBScript file using Windows Script Host's shell object (calling the Run method) to run the batch file invisibly. Passing 0 as the intWindowStyle parameter will suppress display of a window or anything.

Salt-dough Gingerbread Ornaments
I've been looking for some cheep (ok, free) ornaments lately, and something to entertain my kids and this is what I came up with.
 Their festive, smell delicious (although they wouldn't taste delicious)
 and my kids and I had a blast making them.
They're so easy! Just make the dough, roll out, cut, and bake.
Here's the recipe...
Salt Dough Gingerbread
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup water (little less)
2 Tbsp malassess
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix. (I didn't measure the spices, just threw some in to they'd smell good.) Roll out about 1/4 inch thick. Make a hole, with a toothpick, for a ribbon. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-30 minutes. You want them to get hard and dry, not soft like a cookie. When they're cool, tie on a rib...
Enjoy! and Merry Christmas!
check out these other salt dough ornaments...
here's where we link
1. Looks like fun!
The food scientist in me thinks that if you took a toothpick and poked some holes in them (like you see on a cracker), they wouldn't puff up as much. This is called docking, and you see it on crackers, pizza crusts, and the like, where you don't want them to bubble up.
You don't have to make them look like crackers, you could use the dock marks as a way to decorate, such as a face and buttons for the gingerbread men/snowmen, stripes on the candy canes, zig-zags or snowflakes on the bulb ornaments, and the like.
2. love these, pinned, so I can make some later
would love it if you share this on my link party @

Shrinking Possibilities
Lithography will need multiple strategies to keep up with the evolution of memory and logic
Say good-bye to the node.
For 39 years, the node endured as the elusive and yet universally accepted metric that semiconductor specialists used to indicate how small their transistors were. Like depth readings on a wild descent into the infinitesimal, node figures were plotted out for the near future in a ”road map” released annually by the sem...
But now, in the first tremor of what promises to be a tectonic shift in the semiconductor industry, the node is no more. For decades, makers of logic chips used the concept of the ”node” not only to measure their transistors but also to indicate how advanced their chip-fabrication lines were. Memory chipmakers, meanwhi...
We’re pulling out all the stops for the current generation of chips. And if that sounds like a platitude you’ve heard before, consider this fact: Nothing significant that we’re using now will work to create the chips we plan to produce commercially just five or six years from now—least of all the current method of lith...
Industry observers will not be surprised by the death of the node, as the node and half-pitch, once synonymous, have been diverging for some time. This minor change foreshadows a big change in the way the lithography business will deal with memory versus logic. For the first time, lithography will apparently have to ad...
