Sure it's probably nVidia drivers. Which leaves me two options:
- go to ATI and have even worse drivers
- find an exact model of nVidia card that works well, but there's no list at ubuntu.com last time I checked
I've tried open source and commercial drivers of many different versions. Didn't have to do it with Gnome Shell on the same machine, you know.
Maybe individual "most creative" people would benefit from leaving them alone, but most people aren't "most creative", just average. I'd bet that for average people brainstorming works better than solitudal thinking since there's not a single person that would get the whole picture of the problem at hand.
So, on a bigger scale teamwork is more beneficial.
Yeah, it would be great, assuming that it works fast enough. On my i7 with 12G of RAM and a recent NVidia card it won't even move windows smoothly. Wouldn't want to try it on an Atom or ARM.
I charge about $25/h here in Poland which is below $50k annually. That would be rather low for USA. But cost of living here is also much lower. I can make a very decent living charging like that. It is not very humble to say, but my skillset in software development is above average. I do freelance work since 2006 and have only gained new customers by word of mouth, it means that quality of my work recommendable. The longest I was late on a project was like 3 days.
Therefore I find it insulting when I hear people in "richer" (I say "richer" because if Poland paid all the debt and USA paid all the debt, the comparison would turn 180 degrees) countries despise those that charge less. Low wages != bad quality. If there's a bunch of people in India that take advantage of the difference, charge american companies $14 and pay their employees $1, the quality there is low I guess. But it's not low for EVERY outsource company in the world that charges less than yourselves.
Get a web developer?

I'm in the middle of Europe. Get a web developer? I say GTFO.
Having tried the RC for a few dozen minutes, I can tell that MSGE is quite good in making Gnome3 feel more "like home".
Having the bottom window task list bar and sane alt-tab experience doesn't magically fix what is broken in Gnome Shell (configurability is still missing), but it's a step in a good direction IMO -- it lets people used to "old" ways upgrade their systems with less fear.
I've watched some videos about Gnome 3 and Unity and didn't like either. So I installed LUbuntu and missed some things. Than I installed XUbuntu and liked it but it also missed some little things. So I installed KDE and liked it but it made my overclocked i7 with 12G of RAM seem slow.
So I gave Unity a try in a virtual machine. Turned out to be not that bad. So I installed it on my overclocked i7 with 12G of RAM... NOW WHEN I MOVE A WINDOW, IT'S TOO SLOW TO FOLLOW THE FRAKING MOUSE CURSOR. I have the latest NVidia drivers, hardware that had never give me any headaches with Linux (Gnome Shell works just fine on the same installation). But Unity makes me feel like I was an owner of a 386 with 4M of RAM.
So what I'm not cool enough to not being able to adapt to Unity. It won't work with my hardware, information on which graphic card I should upgrade to or what I should do to debug the performance problem is nowhere to be found. I don't like Gnome Shell. Turns out I'm working more and more on Windows 7 these days:-(
"Developed" countries at the same time:
1. Are terrified of global population boom.
2. Try to motivate their ageing societies to have MORE children while immigrants are kept out.
So, to summarize:
- your hard work is worth money and protection
- linux developers hard work is not worth money nor protection
- access to linux source code is appealing to you
- access to your source code is theft
Way to go, hypocrite.
I second this. Installing latest Ubuntu Server LTS and then copy-pasting one single command to download and run Virtualmin setup is a no-brainer. And it will take care of all hosting needs (DNS, e-mail, LAMP stack and MUCH more) with a simple web-based GUI. It is also free, although if you try it out, you'll most probably feel the need to donate/buy "pro" version.

Apart from staying in my current job, is there any advice for someone who can't really risk the mortgage and kid's education on a whim?"
There's a reason the monetary system is debt based. You just found it.
This is one of the most insightful things I've read for a long time. We're but a slaves in this system :-(
Sure, but you need money to buy them ;-)
Sooo... Weight of the spacesuit is a problem in "microgravity or zero-g conditions", curious.
Sure, because installing Ubuntu on a raw PC from beautifully easy LiveCD installer is something that might be prone to user error.

Can you point us to a report that backs that up or we're just supposed to believe an Anonymous Coward? ;)
Oh, here you go... So, now Mozilla will have to increment version number by 10 every release, so they keep up with Chrome version numbers?
SHE is a person, you insensitive, chauvinistic clod :-P

I think Canonical suffers a nasty case of Not Invented Here.
Bring back? You mean "bring forward" :-)
Now, there's nothing said about battery life when talking about phones. I've had a Motorola smartphone once, my laptop works longer on a charge.

I had WRT300N for a dozen of months or so, it worked fine. Since few weeks ago I'm using E4200 which is dual band and cannot complain.

What I'd love is download a car, PHOTOSHOP it and THEN print it :-)
Isn't there a cctv camera in every single ATM? Do not "they" have image recognition algorithms? ;-)
