How to enable single window mode in Safari

After browsing for a few hours in Safari it's possible to end up with a dozen windows or so because of links that open a new window (links with target="_blank"). I've always wished there was a way to have these links open in a new tab instead of a new window (sometimes referred to as single window mode).

In the latest Safari 3.1 Apple finally added a (hidden) preference! To enable single window mode and have all links open in a new tab that would normally have opened in a new window, we only need to enable the TargetedClicksCreateTabs preference using the following command (paste it into Terminal):

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

You might need to restart Safari before the setting is taken into effect. To disable the setting again, run the same command with false instead of true.

Have fun!

Ubuntu 8.04

前天收到了从 Netherland 寄来的 Ubuntu 8.04 的 CD, 里面已经 officially 包含了 Wubi 安装程序, 在 Windows XP 上安装了一下, 很顺畅, 没遇到什么麻烦, 只是在安装过程中有个进度条竟然到了 128%, 应该是个小 bug. 启动之后使用正常, 只发现一点儿小问题: 音量控制不起作用.

Layer 4-7 Switching

Layer 4 switching: The magic combination - NetworkWorld.com
Multilayer Switch - Wikipedia.org

A Layer 7 Switch performs wire-speed processing of packet header content, not only at Layer 2 or Layer 3, but also at the transport layer (Layer 4) up through the application layer (OSI’s Layer 7). Layer 7 switch integrates routing and switching by forwarding traffic at layer 2 speed using layer 7 information. For example, an XML switch can analyze the XML tags at the application level and make forwarding decisions. -- javvin.com
