There's some sort of conflict between the "Tab Mix Plus" extension and the "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" extension (the latter is installed by default on Ubuntu). If both extensions are enabled and you've the "Web Developer" extension installed too, the toolbar of the latter seems to disappear from time to time. The solution: disable one of the two extensions (I used to give up the Ubuntu extension), exit Firefox, delete the localstore.rdf file from your profile, start Firefox. Note that this will remove all of your toolbar customizations, thus you'll have to redo them after the cleanup.

This just the kind of help that a casual software raid (mdadm) user -like me- needs.

"nrg4iso is a command line utility designed to extract data from a Nero Burning ROM image file (.nrg).
Nrg image files may contain various types of data (audio, iso9660,...) and nrg4iso will as development progresses be able to extract most of them."

The program is not developed any further, but a universal binary is available and it works just fine in OS X 10.5.x (and most probably in 10.6.x too).

Apparently the development of VLC's Mac GUI has come to a still. MPlayer had suffered from the same problem (namely lack of Mac developers to maintain and improve the GUI) for years, but as it turned out, some folks took the challange and started a project named "MPlayer OSX Extended". It's exactly what was needed: a bunch of developers working on the Mac GUI of MPlayer. They started last summer (at least according to the changelog) and kept going on ever since. Nice to see that we're going to have an alternative to Quicktime even if VLC's Mac GUI is not going to be maintained any more (which is still undecided ... it only needs a few commited Mac GUI developers).
