This shall be the new repository for anything buggy, including Vic's moths. I'll start it off with a signature image I found in a locked thread at the Boinc boards. ![]() (It's not my team.) (I suppose if they ever change their banner, this post won't make sense any more.)

In the latest version of Ubuntu, sometimes when a window is maximised the buttons on the toolbar cease to work and instead the click goes through to whatever is behind, usually the desktop. This doesn't happen with all windows, the terminal for instance can be maximised without any problems, but it always affects Mozilla Firefox and LibreOffice.

Fweet! Okay, okay, we have a ruling from the Commissioner's office. There is nothing in the rules of the thread that explicitly forbids computer bugs. Penalty against Simon is overruled. Proceed.

You said anything buggy. Never specified biological or otherwise. :) Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. ![]() |

The only computer bug I'm having is trying to find a workaround for the fact that ADOBE killed Flash support for Linux! Their latest, (and last/final), player for Linux doesn't work; I get a black screen with a spinning blue circle in the middle, like it's trying to load the video, but it NEVER makes it... :-( I uninstalled Adobe Flash and installed Lightspark; however, the same thing occurs... (MADDENING!!!) One difference between Simon's Ubuntu, and mine, is that mine is 32 Bit and Simon's is 64 Bit. TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

When you buy the screws go to a contractors supply and buy them in bulk. Back when I was a proffesional sheetrocker thats what we did. If you go to a hardware store and buy a box of 100 or two hundred you will pay threw the nose for 1800 of them. And dont buy sheetrock screws for extereier use. The heads will rust and break off after several years. Buy the best extereier ones you can afford. ![]() Old James |

and I had no idea what was good caulk With Your Known Prowess of Research Abilites, You are telling EveryOne you DID NOT KNOW. That is Total BS. You Research EVERYTHANG and Know Cost Etc. to many numbers to the left of Decimal Points. And Clear Shipping Tape can be used for a Many Many Many Repairs around The House. I would fill a gap with Trash Paper and then Span The Gap with Shipping Tape. And Using the Right color paper, you can match the wall color. Viola. No intrusion and no use of nails or caulk(cheap or otherwise). I had to get rid of Him cause the ears had some wire in them... Cut slit in ears, remove wire. Then stuff ears with suitable, "stiff" stuffing(again, almost anything laying around the house considered "trash") and Viola, you Keep Bugs. Bunny that is. Heheheheaheahehe fO shO 'it' ![]() May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!! ![]() |

Victor you also need to seal the outside also. If moths are getting in they are coming from the outside. Sealing the inside only means you wont see them living in your walls. Also not sealing the outside leads to other bugs and insects getting in between the walls. Not to mention moisture. I realize you live in a dessert, But it still must rain there. When isulation gets wet it is next to useless. and causes mold. ![]() Old James |

Vic, dude, I hate to break it to you, but I think those darn things have a breeding colony in your house. Sealing every last crack won't help you if they are already breeding inside your home. |

Some time moths will get in from out side, when that happens the Fryja cat will attack and then eat them. If I find and disable one, all I have to do is tap my finger on the floor beside the moth and she will come right over and make the little bugger disappear. |

Moths can infest a house long before you even know they are there. Sealing up cracks on the inside wont stop it. And its the larvae that eat natural materials. Such as wool,silk, fur, felt, hair and feathers. The larvae also eat grains. Which is why you might see them in oatmeal and cream of wheat. ![]() Old James |

Anyone remember the giant bugs from the last King Kong movie? ![]() They live in my garden :D. Well at least the life size ones that they modelled the CGI ones on. They aren't dangerous, but they can give you a bite that hurts. |

Vic TMI. We have Kitty windows open and doors for the doggies. Plenty of insects can come along. My mother hated spiders, but always scooted them outside. I love them now, as it helps to keeps my house clean of Moth, Gnats. flies etc pp. Pluto will always be a planet to me. ![]() Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |
