Thanks for your suggestion, but of course me using Linux vs you using almost anything but, that didn't help. However, I DID manage to locate it in the View Menu dropdown shortcutted as Ctl-Alt-R. Perfectly logical once you know it.
Hope this relieves any other bafflement on the topic
I must be missing something obvious. Just where can I select this document mode? Not anywhere I can find in FF Quantum 60.0.2. Should I be using another FF version?
I want to save web pages/sites for input itnto Calibre. Making epub snapshots of websites is useful, but Calibre gets pretty lost in convoluted CSS. Calibre's author doesn't intend the product to be used quite this way. I'm still a occasional supporter though - it's great at what he designed it to do.
There's an issue with network lockups first reported in 2007 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/132042. People have been adding comments ever since, but it hasn't been even been assigned yet.
Unity may look beautiful swimming in the water, but as soon it climbs onto shore you'll see how ungainly it lurches about. My first piece of business will be installing MATE, Cinnamon, and fallback to give them a try.
I'd be a lot more interested in Mint if Ubuntu One ran under it. I'm sure people smarter than me will figure out how eventually.
I was a systems manager 1990 for a site that used the then new Sun Sparc "pizzaboxes". They ran a CAD package that had a humngous key encoding numbers of licenses for subpackages and their expiry dates. And yes, it was painful to have those keys dictated over the telephone.
I've got a Carnegie Mellon science degree (actually Carnegie Tech) from 1964. I'm retiring next year. And the degree was never used except to get me into a grad school that I dropped out from to work in computers.
All the regular vendors have to do is come within $100 of this price for a laptop running Vista. Then only the few idealistic geeks will participate in the 2-for-1 program. I'm sure the big manufacturers can eat the losses on one model for one month.
Programs like this look good on paper, but don't take typical human behaviour into account.
When years ago I got a self-winding watch, I thought of putting such a mechanism in a backpack that the single-digit-set would be strapped into. Every day its spring could be discharged into some sort of energy reservoir. This would both harness kids' inexhaustible energy and slow them down a bit.
Now we have an unobtrusive direct-to-battery technology. Lets get some useful work out of those tykes!
Back in the days of the CK-722 and 2N107 transistors (mid 1950's), there was a schematic published for a crystal radio (using diode) with 1-stage audio amp that self-powered off the antenna input.
If anyone has a tutorial on how to edit numbered lists and bullet lists in a long document without changes in one list causing dozens of incomprehensible changes to other totally unrelated lists throughout the document, please let me know... There is an explanation. It has to do with Styles. You see, Microsoft wants you to use Styles, instead of doing inline layout. In fact, they want you to use Styles so much that when you lay out some text, they generate a Style on-the-fly that describes your layout. When you use the same layout next time, Word decides "Oh, this is a Style I already know about", and attaches it to your text.
The kicker comes when you modify one of the instances. Word takes that to mean that you're modifying not just that instance, but the definition of the Style. So every other instance changes too.
The solution is to explicitly create a Style for each layout you want to use, and invoke it explicitly. Microsoft REALLY wants you to use Styles. After all, it's more efficient to format with Styles. And that makes it a best practice. And everyone knows Microsoft is all about best practices.
As an Ubuntu user, I think of it as Debian Unstable, stabilized. And scoped for desktop users on the platforms they're most likely to be using, and users uninterested in paying for the packaging and support free software.
But without Debian, there'd be no Ubuntu or a long list of other distros. Thanks for all the heavy lifting, Debian developers.
Thirty years ago, RCA Computers was hiring and transferring employees into the new Framingham MA operation on the day Board of Directors decided to get out of the computer business.

If your parents didn't think you were wonderful when the rest of the world thought you were an obnoxious brat, you wouldn't be here right now.
Hey, you youngsters, 1991 wasn't the Bronze Age.

Maybe I should auction it off on Ebay?
I'm not releasing a product. Just want to be able to buy them as I need them.
Why won't anyone manufacture one with a white matte finish? That way they could be written on.
I'd rather keep the working COBOL code. Even if that means I have to deal with grumpy old geezers to maintain said code.
Yeah, but what about the time when you can only find the grumpy old geezers in Forest Lawn?
Real reason is that MS chose to promote VISTA as Evolutionary. Well, they'd have trouble passing it off as Intelligent Design.

Well, I'm somebody who LIKES upstream spatial nautilus. And I just posted the HowTo for re-enabling it. It's a simple change to a configuration file.
Yeah, Mark po'd a lot of people with that decree, including me. But I think it's the one bad call he's made so far.
