Last time I tried to install something out of the DEB, I was able to just doubleclick on it and have the deb installer take care of things, but it could be complicated if the dependencies can't be met by what's in your repositories.
Oh, I wasn't trying to "bash" you. I was just noting a common failure point- it's well known among the Linux crowd that hardware is a sticking point- I just got my Broadcom card to work via ndiswrapper not too long ago, myself- and that if you're planning on using Linux, you should be picking hardware that Linux works on. I bought my laptop before I really knew much about Linux, so in a sense I'm lucky it works.BR>
I have no clue what RAIDar is, and it doesn't show up at all in the package manager for Ubuntu (Feisty) so maybe it's something they got rid of due to bugs.
After the first time, you should have went out of your way to pick hardware that is known to work on Linux, rather than just buying whatever and getting Linux to work on it. That said, check out www.system76.com , www.dell.com/linux , and similar sites so it'll be pre-installed and already configured to work.
Ubuntu's installer is simple- you click a checkbox to pick what you want, then click "apply" and it'll install. You don't have to use "sudo apt-get install".
"Scalping" should be legal. I bought a ticket, I should be able to do as I wish with it. Neither the government nor the venue should be able to stop me.
Yes, it won't let me start the game with it. I have to start the game with the classic controller then switch to the Gamecube controller, otherwise it won't let me past the "You need a Classic Controller to play this game" screen.
Who cares if the Classic controller and nunchuck are "tethered to the wiimote"? The cord's like 2 feet long, stick the wiimote in your lap or next to you on the chair. You no longer have to worry about some idiot little brother, dog, parent, or whatever tripping over the cord, yanking your system off the shelf it's on, and breaking things. The nunchuck cord could use an extra 3 inches or so in order to not actually be able to pull it taut, but it still doesn't get in the way of anything during gameplay.
I have no desire to go buy even more rechargeable batteries.
God is natural and operates within the laws of nature - not above them.
In that case, you should be able to find evidence. The reason other religions put god "above nature" is so they can excuse their inability to find evidence.
So go on, tell me where the evidence is.
For your information: The constitution has no mention of the word "god" and only mentions dieties of any sort exactly once, where it says "in the year of our lord..." because they didn't use the "AD" or "CE" notation back then.
The Declaration of Independence is not legally binding, but does mention a creator.
The pledge of allegiance, which is not legally binding in any way, but is often mandated of schoolchildren, contains the phrase "one nation under god". It was added in the '50s around the same time "in god we trust" was mandated to be added to all our money (though some of the money had that phrase since shortly after the Civil War).
The religious right in this country is the single largest problem facing it. The sooner we're rid of it, the better.
It is now official. Netcraft confirms: the New User is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered New User community when IDC confirmed that New User market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all posters. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that New Users have lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. The New User community is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive posting test.
You don't need to be the Amazing Kreskin to predict the New User's future. The hand writing is on the wall: the New User faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for the New User because the New User is dying. Things are looking very bad for the New User. As many of us are already aware, the New User continues to lose market share. Their blood flows like a river of... well, blood.
All major surveys show that the New User has steadily declined in postcount share. The New Users are very sick and their long term survival prospects are very dim. If the New Users are to survive at all it will be among necromancers. The New User continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, the New User is dead.
Fact: the New User is dying
Each state's ACLU does its own thing. The national organization is just a collective lobbying group. The decisions made by the ACLU of California have nothing to do with the ACLU of Vermont.
How many do they put together? I'm sure Google has terabytes upon terabytes of data set up in some extremely reliable, extremely fast way. "Results 1 - 10 of about 79,800,000 for slashdot. (0.09 seconds)" I'm sure that most businesses use over 150 gigs, they just RAID them somehow (I don't know much about RAID so I don't know the details) for better performance and reliability.
Home users won't fill it up (except for the few lunatics who pirate stuff all the time, log 50 IRC channels at once, etc), but business users will certainly utilize multi-terabyte disks.
A person with Alzheimer's should be denied a rather large spectrum of jobs, they're simply unsuitable for it. Same goes for certain kinds of heart disease- highly physical activity like construction work would be a Very Bad Thing for someone with a weak heart.
Cancer, on the other hand, has no effect on day-to-day work until it becomes a life threat, and if caught early it's just some time off.
I have Compiz turned off in Feisty, and turned it off in Gutsy. Cool concept, freezes too often for me. That's not the difference.
Also, trackerd shouldn't be causing much of the problem either- if it is, that's stupid. It should come with the stuff on a freshly installed system pre-analyzed, unless I misunderstand how it works.
Cooler and more efficiently? When I was on Gutsy beta early on I had to go back to Feisty because I kept overheating. I do not have any plan to update as I have no need to at this point, and that experience soured me on Gutsy.
I wasn't going to bother reading it, but upon reading your comment I had to click. You aren't kidding, the summary really is the entire article. WTF,/. editors?
Firefox also has a nifty feature that lets you set a guaranteed Minimum font size- anything smaller than, say, 12 points can be preemptively forced to 12 points.
Edit-preferences-content (tools-options-content on windows)
Under "Fonts & Colors" click advanced
Set your minimum font size.
Alternatively, in about:config, you can edit font.minimum-size.x-user-def (and anything else that happens to be under font.minimum-size.)
Actually, a bomb blowing up the entire Microsoft complex, killing everyone involved in Windows (but nobody else) would produce a massive demand for jobs in the IT sector, programming sector, pretty much every technical field you can think of. Apple, Red Hat, Sun, Oracle, Novell, and so on would see massive gains in profits. The Rest Of The World (TM) would take relatively small hits- those who are still on XP would stay on XP (and start a Mac or Linux migration plan instead of a Vista one), those who have finished their Vista migration would be in good shape for a few years until it's time for their next hardware upgrade, and those who are in the middle of a switchover to Vista may well get totally fucked, depending on how they're doing it.
It wouldn't be pretty in the short term, but it'd be survivable, and it's likely that replacing the monoculture with diversity would result in long-term economic gains due to competition.
I actually think gaming companies would get hit the hardest, I have no idea how hard it is to take a game coded for Vista/360 and port it to another console. It's probably still a drop in the bucket of the greater economy. The biggest hit would probably be Wall Street investment bankers and so forth, but that's a single immediate hit, and not something that has a long-lasting effect. (A long-lasting effect would be something like a calamitous food shortage, sudden oil shortage, whatever; that results in an immediate hit followed by a long period of economic inefficiency because of a lack of resources for other industries to continue their business.)

This is, as far as I can tell, a reasonably accurate interpretation. His exact words are:
The simplest way to make a program free software is to put it in the public domain, uncopyrighted. This allows people to share the program and their improvements, if they are so minded. But it also allows uncooperative people to convert the program into proprietary software. They can make changes, many or few, and distribute the result as a proprietary product. People who receive the program in that modified form do not have the freedom that the original author gave them; the middleman has stripped it away.

What annoys me is how Star Fox 64 requires the classic controller in order for you to start the game. Seriously, what the hell?
You can also use the Classic Controller, Gamecube controller, Wiimote by itself, Wiimote+Nunchuck.
The "wiimote only" impression is wrong.
In that case, you should be able to find evidence. The reason other religions put god "above nature" is so they can excuse their inability to find evidence.
