Yep. That's what I do with my somewhat less-efficient '05 Civic hybrid (CVT) on a 35-mile commute, mostly on a 55-mph highway. Keep a watch ahead, be gentle with accelerator movements. On this tank, I'm averaging 54.1 MPG; lifetime average is approx 46.5 mpg.
Yes, it is distracting to keep an eye on the mileage meter. After a while it becomes automatic and "automatic" economy goes about 45-49 depending on weather.
So grind the butt out on the ground so it's not smoldering, then put it in the trash or carry it with you until you find a trashcan. Don't be some asshole who litters.
You also don't need to stand right in front of the godsdamned door. Go stand somewhere else that people aren't required to pass by.
Smoke if you want, but for pity's sake don't be a selfish asshole about it.
Explain to me why you goddamn smokers can't just put your butts in your car's ashtray[1] or carry around a little cup of water or *something* that shows you're capable of not being utterly selfish about your butts. Then we'll get on the subject of why smokers congregate around doors that non-smokers need to use.
[1] If you're worried about burning paper, you can get little trash bags for paper & such that hang from your control stalks -- the ones for windshield wipers and so on. You can spend a little more to get a permanent vinyl one.
$100k, right. There's a high school near me, about that size, who wanted to hire me as a tech/sysadmin for a lousy $20,000 per year a couple years ago. Schools don't have anywhere near that money for technology, which is partly why people like to whinge about how crap their school's IT and sysadmins are.
If you download a.deb then double-click it, Ubuntu knows to launch gdebi, which will let you install the package onto your system. It will then also be in Synaptic where it can be removed.
I don't know if this functionality will work with RPMs. If not, it's a Simple Matter of Programming to make alien (and the rest of LSB) a default package and extend gdebi to support RPMs through alien.
Or the packager could just include a binary installer and install to/opt, but you can't manage that stuff with synaptic.
The *real* solution is for Ubuntu to achieve World Domination so that.deb is used by everyone.:-)
One good exception to the Foo of Bar naming rule (and a damn good game besides) is Tripwire Interactive's Red Orchestra:Ostfront 41-45.
It's a WWII FPS set on the Eastern Front, using the Unreal Engine 2.5. What makes it different is that it tries to be realistic, within reason. No crosshairs, you have to use your gunsights, and it simulates projectile physics, so no insta-hit weapons like/some/ shooters and you have to account for wind and bullet drop. It also does combined arms (infantry and armor, and soon an anti-tank gun), and VoIP chat is integrated so you can coordinate with your squad online. There's no offline campaign as such, but you can practice with bots just like in Unreal Tournament 2004. The bots are reasonably intelligent, but FFS don't let them drive your tank.
There's also a thriving mod community. Some make maps (10 community maps will be included in the next official update) and some make full mods with new weapons, maps, and sides, like Carpathian Crosses, which includes the Romanians and their equipment.

Precisely what makes you think Oz is better than the USA? Their government's noses are up ours' arses.
Reason: it'll never get old.
Downside: do it too often and you'll bleed.
Er, s/X11/X10/.
Find some way of recording which number it's from, then do a reverse lookup on 411.com, then bring in a landshark.
Else, get an X11 device or similar that will kill power to your answering machine between the hours of x and y.
I've always favored artillery barrages. Gets the point across nicely.
It's polite to use small guns (37mm to 75mm) as a first warning, then if they persist bring in the 155mm guns.
The biggest troublemakers are no match to an Iowa-class 16" rifle.
No, no, no. If you want to write like a net.kook, you have to EMPHASIZE random UNRELATED WORDS like THIS. Boldface doesn't do it, it's LOTS OF CAPS.
See the Time Cube website for the canonical example.
Dude? You smell like an ashtray anyway from smoking. Your sense of smell may be dead from your habit, but you do.

Want some cheese with your whine?
Broken beer bottles don't start fires, like the big forest fires we've had out west for the last few years and some in Australia as well.
It's stupid of fsckwits to litter, but beer bottles will at most burst some tires. They generally don't have capability to kill people.
It'll have the positive side effect of killing off the lusers a little faster, too.

The Corps is Rodina, the Corps is Deutschland.
In the summer they'll increase your cooling (electricity) bill. Your point?
Get a USB stick and install your stuff to it. Newegg has 16 GB sticks for between $136 and $200.
On a decently ruggedized laptop, the drive will be encased in rubber or some other shock-absorbing material anyway.
Yo. Had a job years back (grocery sacker) that involved going in- and out-doors frequently, and one day it was well below freezing.
Manager didn't like it, for some reason.

People who want to play games or use some weird Windows-only app that breaks Wine will need Windows. This will not change in the foreseeable future.
Did you save money and get the Dell wireless card instead of the Intel? If so, serves you right.
It may not be completely hopeless: you can try ndiswrapper to use the Windows driver.
This may be the same problem biting fresh installs of Feisty on some computers.
Try this: blacklist the ata_piix driver and tell your system to load the piix driver instead, then rebuild your initrd and reboot.
Are you a woman? That's the logic that says "I don't *need* this, but it's on sale so I'll get it."

Yes, I

The game goes for IIRC $20 on Steam.
