Picasa is a free software download from Google. Now available for Linux!
So, how does it work? Picasa for Linux runs the current Windows version of Picasa using a carefully tested version of Wine, an open-source implementation of the Windows application-programming interface (API). Wine runs on top of the X Window System and Linux or Unix. But it’s not a Windows emulator; instead, it provides a Windows API middleware layer that enables Windows programs to run on Linux without the slowing effects of OS emulation or a virtual machine.
I have been running Thunderbird for months without problems. Today I got notification from Online Update than there are updates available. I checked Thunderbird security update and it was installed. After that I tried to restart Thunderbird and if failed. Tried from console and I got this message:
mordor@linux:~> thunderbird
/opt/MozillaThunderbird/lib64/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to send command: 509 internal error

What do you get when you combine Firefox zealotry with a healthy profit motive (or twisted greed, depending on how you look at it)? You get Explorer Destroyer, a collection of free scripts for webmasters. Sign up for Google AdSense (which will allow you to collect a commission by getting visitors to switch to Firefox), install a script, and IE users who come to your site will be greeted by either a polite suggestion that they switch to Firefox, a splash page greeting them with a Firefox entreaty before they enter your site, or something of a nuclear option: a page blocking them from entering your site until they get the Fox.
