And when you've cut your teeth on Ubuntu you can go to DistroWatch and download one of the many other superb Linux flavours that are on offer, one of which might actually suit your way of working better than "starter Linux".
Well done on getting a troll mod for advertising Linux on/.
That takes pure skill!
Remember when some whacko read Lord of The Rings and decided to turn it into a movie with loads of bits missing, and tons of people went and bought the book to see what Holywood [sic] wouldn't show them?
Sometimes reprinting is very good business. And no, LoTR wasn't an out of print book, but for the purposes of this post it serves as a good enough example if you can imagine it had been.
Failing that, don't authorise any repairs until you have asked (us?) someone on IRC if the proposed fix sounds right.
Pro tip: Use Linux and people on IRC will be falling over themselves to diagnose your problem. We love to help.
Small caveat: Free advice is worth what you pay for it.
And for $DEITY's sake, write cheats in from the start, don't put them in as an afterthought or even patch them in a couple of months/years after the game is released.
Playing a game with cheats is like watching a movie you can interact with.
How do you want that playthrough? Stealthy? Kill em all? Want to explore every inch of the world, pick up every powerup or use the bonus items that you won on the last playthrough?
No problem. You will get a reward for each and every way you complete the game and unlimited saves.
A lot of games could benefit from the lessons of the MGS series.
I loved that game so much I paid £300 for it (I bought a PS3 to play it on).
I notice it's WM 6 only, which ROM are you running on your Uni?
Been advocating this phone since it came out. Absolutely fantastic, just wish HTC weren't so far in MS's pocket, we could have had Linux on it since day 1.
I hate Sony as much as anyone here but I do own a PS3. Could do with a simple BT keyboard for it and this seems ideal, if it works with it.
Could I suggest Scroogle's SSL with the POST method?
Breaks my heart to see everyone here talking about Google, but maybe that's because I'm on UK's Virgin (likely to be Phorm infested at any time makes you paranoid).
My point is that if you legalize cannabis, what prevents the situation from becoming as bad as it was in Sweden in the mid 19th century? Instead of alcoholics you'll have a large segment of the population being high on pot all the time.
The difference is that THC doesn't make you violent. It turns you into a carpenter.
If you can't articulate without resorting to words that have been deemed impolite by a society that existed even before IRC (yes, some things did =) then you're not going to go far in life.
By the same token, if you are too emotional to articulate without swearing you're probably not going to take enough notice of the advice you're given in a help channel.
I'm not a #gentoo op, I don't agree in principle with the swearing ban, I swear in RW quite often. I do however respect the ops' decision and abide by it.
Having a bunch of lame kids in who cannot communicate without swearing keeps the legibility of the text at a level you won't find in most blogs and forums.
Rules are there to be arbitrary, that is their function. I'm all for rules that keep idiots out of other people's way.
Any form of censorship is always worse than the censored item. (to paraphrase a/. sig I particularly like).
I told my wife that if she wants something done, to leave me a note when she goes to work by the coffee machine.
I'll expand a little.
I work nights, she days. I make the coffee when I go to bed, she gets up to a nice smell, hot java and kisses me before she leaves.
When I get up (I know this is heresy, but it's the breaks) I microwave the coffee and if there is a note it will be the first thing I see.
If she drops hints about things I will have forgotten about them completely by the time my standby cycle is over, and she will be pissed that I didn't do them.
I read the note these days and intersperse the work that needs to be done with my afternoon's rest/games/chores before going to work later.
Another point about the "never go to bed on an argument" idea... What about if you have been drinking?
I know a lot of readers are American and several may be from California. It is highly unfashionable to get drunk in certain circles, but we're English, we get VERY drunk sometimes.
In some circumstances you have to remember that if you're in no fit state to communicate your muddled thoughts, you should choose discretion over valour and go the hell to bed with a "yes, you're right, good night" and then approach the subject obliquely the next day.

95% more efficient energy production should show cost benefits pretty damn quickly.
Without taxation out the wazoo this could almost (look ma, sarcasm) lower the cost of electricity!
I think you will find that the word you are looking for is "pedantry".
From one pedant to another.
Lots of their concerns could be taken away if one of these was the first thing they thought of when nuclear was mentioned.

You could always dump nuclear waste into something useful instead.
I hate Sony. As much as the next guy and more than a lot of guys.
My copy of MetalGearSolid 4 cost me £300 because I had to buy some hardware to play it on too.
Lemmings don't commit suicide.
Making the world a brighter place, one myth at a time.
No offence.
Who says OP was speaking Canadian?
Here in Yorkshire (part of England, UK) we nearly always add "ey" "hey" or "eh" to questions.
Just do what we all do, Scroogle it!

Possibly with tracing paper.
That would explain KDE4 ...
For those of you who think this is a troll, KDE3.5 FTW.
You mean Andy Dufresne?
Or am I completely off on the character you meant?
My WP install doesn't ask me for those details.
But then, I'm running it on my own LAMP.

The harm done to you is that now ~5,000 Slashbots think you're married and when your Mum finds out she will throw you out of her basement.

Maternity wards in the UK use it.

I think this might be a better solution.
Although I've had trouble getting it to work properly on a couple of machines, it seems to do what it says on the tin most of the time.
