Slashdot Mirror
Ubuntu Brainstorm Launched
thorwil writes "Brainstorm is a new site where everyone can submit and vote on ideas for Ubuntu. It's inspired by Dell's Ideastorm. By default, you see the ideas submitted by the community sorted by popularity. Each idea is accompanied by arrows so you can vote it up or down (you have to log in first). You can only click once per idea. So this is an easy way to submit ideas and see what people are really wanting."
I vote for a better web server.
and go test it out and offer my, informed, $0.02.
... my head hurts.
But you bastards slashdotted it. Now I'm mad. But I don't really have a reason to because if it weren't for slashdot I wouldn't even know it exists. Yet since I think it's an awesome but can't access it to check it out I hate you all.
So yeah
First post ?
This is superficially a good idea, until you realize that it's the slashdot crowd that will come out and vote on features. Soon enough, Ubuntu will release its latest version and we will reap the harvest we have sown. Ubuntu 8: HomerCar
1.) Upgrade servers.
And the masses cried out, "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0!"
Woa dude, I couldn't get Ubuntu to break that hard even if I tried, and I even call myself a sysadmin.
No no no! We should all make sure that Ubuntu 11.10 is called the "Slashed Otter".
Dude, he wasn't talking about Wi-Fi Protected Access, he was talking about Windows Product Activation!

No wonder you failed, no sane person would try to feed an executable into GCC.
Yeah, but you killed it and so have to suffer my opinions instead...

No, but you seem to, the way you assumed that I live in LA :-P
Actually, I live in Warsaw, Poland, and there's a small forest nearby. So maybe I was just joking while using either green or brown themes.
Segmentation fault. Ore dumped.
no need, it already passed WGA: http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2007/06/18/ubuntu-now-even-more-windows-user-friendly
Sigs are too short to say anything truly profound so read the above post instead.
The corollary to what you wrote is what I see on mailing lists frequently. As an example:I don't use Ubuntu, but I recall they offer some form of a Handbook that contains just about everything the average user needs to know. Alternatively, Luke, use the source with something along the following lines (for the "I'm Feely Lucky" crowd):
man -k wireless | while read f; do man $(echo ${f%%\(*}); done
The best way, I think, to thank those who go to the effort to write documentation is to read what they wrote. You might even learn something.

To me, the "default" desktop background is the one I choose when I set up my machine. The notion of just accepting what's there never occurs to me.
I don't see what's so bad about brown. All my default desktop background choices are sorta brown, anyway. "Flesh" is sort of brown, isn't it?
Well, maybe not. There's usually a lot of pink involved, too.
