jdk, Fedora, firefox, java
...
Installing java alone/open jdk doesn't solve the problem of trying to open java/java applet files. You will require the java plugin.
To install it on fedora type the following in a terminal
$ yum -y install java-1.7.0-openjdk-plugin

Fedora, linux, errors, module
...
Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/bin/msjnc line 53.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/msjnc line 53.
This error occurs if you don't have www module for perl
to install it type
$ yum install perl-libwww-perl

radeon, elitebook, Fedora, ati
...
Once you have all the 3rd party repository setup in fedora all you need to do is ;
$ yum --enablerepo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing install kmod-catalyst
This should resolve one or more of the following problems with ATI graphics cards:
-Flckering screen
-Brightness control not working
-broken screen

Goodbye!
you just need make an adjustment to the mysql configuration file.
type the following in a terminal
$netstat -tlnp | grep 3306 (default port no. of mysqld)
if it doesn't return anything that means that your mysql daemon isn't listening on that port for which you need to make a small edit to /etc/mysql/my.cnf in archlinux
Edit the my.cnf file:
$ vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf
search for "skip-networking" and comment it out.
...
#skip-networking
...
Restart mysqld :
$ systemctl restart mysqld
Hopefully that should have solved the problem for you too.

xfce, linux, mousepad
Good news for all XFCE fans + users, after a long time a new version of mousepad is out and it has undergone a complete rewrite. You can read more about that on XFCE website.
By default when a single file is opened using mousepad it doesn't show tabs, however if you do want tabs by default there is a way to do it:
1- Go to ~/.config/Mousepad/
$ cd ~/.config/Mousepad/
2- Open mousepadrc file
$ vim ~/.config/Mousepad/mousepadrc
3- search for MiscAlwaysShowTab and change its value from false to true
MiscAlwaysShowTab=true
4- if mousepad is open, close it and then restart the app.
You should see tabs ! :-)

duckduckgo, google

PS: I didn't per say search for that, it was an accidental discovery

me, tweet, email, twitter
Recently i realized that twitter has added a new option to the tweets which is "Email tweet".
This option allows users to email their own tweets as well as tweets from others. For the past 20 minutes I have been trying really hard to come up with a use case for this feature and haven't had any success.

Edit: This option allows you to share / email tweets by other people through mail.
