I'm already on 14.04 so this was good to know:
"existing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS users don't need to download anything, though, as they can update to today's 14.04.4 build using the build-in package management system, so just make sure that your Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installation is up to date"
The ability to take on a non-trackable identity makes posting less stressful for me. I think it enhances the discussions as a whole, despite the occasional troll.
Or don't even bother scramming. I lost $$ to a seller who never shipped the product but politely replied to each email I sent him saying he's really busy, etc. He dragged it out long enough to avoid letting me give negative feedback or any assistance from ebay. Very effective since he priced items low enough to make it not worth pursuing him.
One of the worst problems regarding this isssue, in the US at least, is that for-profit companies gather credit info about you and then force you to pay them (most states I believe). It's very expensive and time consuming to make sure the agencies haven't fscked up or detect that someone is quietly using your identity.
w3m-0.5.1 jumps around a bunch of redirection links then then gives:
"JavaScript must be enabled in order for you to use Gmail in standard view. However, it seems JavaScript is either disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then try again.
To use Gmail's basic HTML view, which does not require JavaScript, click here."
But it works well from there, I remember not being able to use text based browsers at all a month or so ago.
Potentially worse than phone users, drunks and old people are the aggressive anti-social drivers in cars with more power than they can handle.
I could forgive someone who accidentally crashed into me, I'm not so sure about someone who did it while getting to the front of the queue at any cost.

I don't use Cygwin for production work. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be useful in that capacity, I just haven't found the right employer for that type of work.
I use it as a way to take Windows 2000 (let's face it, a stable but not secure, OS) and make it almost as smart as Unix. I'm a command line, vi loving, Perl programming geek and I've essentially eliminated 98% of all differences between a Linux/Unix platform and Windows. I hate dual booting.
I can use the best of Windows and the best of Unix with little drawback on either end. I use VirtuaWin to get multiple desktops and the Cygwin/GNU tools to make the Windows OS capable of doing hard work.
I prefer the Windows' GUI to KDE, Gnome, etc. because it's clean and I don't do too much customization anyway.
Cygwin is the most important piece of software I use.
Has anyone mentioned anything about reimbursing old TPJ subscribers for the issues that they were not sent (but had paid for) when the the old TPJ was vaporized?
It amounts to a small dollar value but it's the principle of the thing. Potential new 'n' improved TPJ subscribers might want to think about the way old (loyal?) subscribers were treated.
Manning's Object Oriented Perl is a great book with a terribly cheap binding. My copy is already falling apart. Anyone know if they have improved the binding quality on this one?
This question applies to all professions but is more
pronounced in the tech industry, due to the nature of
the work and the personalities that chose to do that
work in the first place.
Many people who don't gain energy from interaction with
others have chosen the tech path to focus on getting
the work done independently. I don't think these
people are ever going to be happy in management,
regardless of increased income. Indispensable:
computers
People who require interaction should be safe in
choosing management. This allows them to focus on
talking to others about the work as an abstraction,
persuading others, playing political games, etc. All
of which require constant interaction with others.
Indispensable: telephones
I'm not implying that there is no overlap in these two
categories.
And if a Unix environment is what you're trying to emulate (isn't that the whole idea?), there's something very appealing about typing cd / and seeing/etc/bin/home...
Symlink from your home directory to C:\foo if you want Cygwin to deal with the Windows idea of a filesystem.
It's worth getting used to Cygwin's file system.
The calibre of argument against Rand makes it obvious that many of her detractors have no idea what she actually wrote but rely on the opionions of others to form their meta-opinions.
Read Atlas Shrugged.
I agree. As mentioned in a similar discussion on Friday, many people "gain energy" from being around others. I suspect that this is the majority of society (and it makes sense evolutionarily).
People who are drained by interaction are a minority who are often looked upon as abnormal. They are then encouraged to change their behavior as soon as possible. This encouragement rarely goes in the other direction.
I think the issue here is the right of a broadcaster to simply not show scenes that they disagree with (i.e. turn the camera away or change the camera angle) which is passive vs.the sinister replacing of images which is activeand much more damaging to a station's credibility.

Thank you Parker Lewis. Is it worth the effort or is the un-updated 14.04 with occasional
apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
good enough for normal users (like me)?

Great news. Please let it be useful like Hacker Monthly and not just brand necrophilia...

Ebay's rules need some rethinking.
My 650 has only crashed a few times but I still think an OS should be responsible for preventing 3rd party software from causing a complete OS crash.
And on an unrelated note, the new MS 700w Treo has a 'w' in the name, doesn't that leave open the possibility of a 'p' as in PalmOS version?

...who don't want to exert even the slightest effort to reap the benefits of a truly powerful OS are a problem.
My experience with trying to volunteer for this project went like this:
1. Moz website said they needed Perl, etc. help.
2. I emailed blake @ stanford.edu
3. No response after 2 emails. Not a "thanks but no thanks", nothing.
I'm reluctant to volunteer for future Moz projects. Won't others be reluctant as well?

If it is found to be a hoax, the use of Morpheus is going to increase thanks to the media coverage that will reach non-geeks.
If it is not a hoax, Morpheus will probably be patched. Again, more media coverage, more people using Morpheus.
RIAA loses either way.
Thanks for the info.

Merry Christmas everyone.
I may be loading things I don't need. Is there a Howto on ways to minimize start/shut time? I want a near instant shutdown like Win95.
One thing that I should have conceded in my original post was the added time it takes for Win95's Scandisk to run after Win95 crashes.
A post-alpha Wine may still be the real breakthrough for me. I would really like to use Linux exclusively.
