Internet Explorer 9 showing a blank page.
Today I've encountered a problem with Internet Explorer 9. After opening IE nothing came on, not an error, just a plain black page no matter to what site you went.
After doing some research I've remembered that IE9 uses GPU acceleration to show everything. So the quite solution was quite simple.
Blank pages, just like this:
To fix this problem, disable hardware rendering:
1. Click on Tools, select Internet Options
2. Go to the Advanced tab, and tick Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering
Note: IE9's core feature is hardware rendering, so using IE9 without it is useless. Hoping that an upcoming will fix this problem
Note 2: I'm using Intel Integrated graphics
Note 3: This may prevent some programs (like Adobe installers) from working. These programs use the rendering engine of IE, but forces Hardware Rendering. To fix this, you'll have to downgrade to IE8.

Windows shares in Ubuntu server
Until now I have always used SMBFS as protocol to mount Windows shares on a Ubuntu server.
SMBFS (with webmin) is an easy way to add all your current shares and make them read/writable with the root user. But because of security reasons I'm stepping back on using the root user everywhere, this brought me to the problem that I only could read on my SMBFS mounts.
After some internet searching I came across a solution: CIFS
