You've been using linux for 10 years and it took you hours to fix your xorg.conf?
How hard is it to add a couple of "widthxheight" in a text file? Or even easier: to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg so you can add them by just selecting the resolution (and giving your monitor refresh rates at the same time).
Oh, and by the way, if you had fired up an IRC client and connected to #ubuntu, it would have probably taken you 5 minutes tops.
Have you read Das Kapital? The Communist Manifesto was more of an ideological essay, his real economic work can be found in there.
You know, to put misconceptions aside... You'll learn that the core of Marxism is that capitalistic profit is an abuse of the proletariat, and that it should be banned; but he also realized that profit (and this is where my previous post came from) is the main driving force behind technological development, so in order for a society to move forward, you would need a central government that dispatched resources so that you can both abolish capitalism and maintain a developing society.
Even Marx realized that communism could not work without a central authority.
no, you need to comment out all interfaces except lo, lo being the two lines I showed you. So your interfaces file should only contain the two lines that relate to your lo interface.
yes, but in order for Network manager to take over the administration of your eth or wlan, you need to disable them (comment them out or delete the lines) in/etc/network/interfaces , so last time you installed network-manager, you (consciously or not) might have removed the needed lines... In the future, pass by #ubuntu before reinstalling everything, might save you some time;-).
They are already having one hell of a hard time fighting piracy in such a policed country as the US, how exactly do they expect China with its 1.3 billion citizens to tackle this problem?
Also, seeing the poverty and corruption problems in China, I sure hope that they use their money to make life better for their own citizen, then maybe they can start pumping money into an impossible to achieve goal...

Oh yeah the countless times where the EU intervened against governments to protect competition in Europe is a clear indicator that they favor companies over customers. Actually, the main activists for European companies are governments, the EU has a history of defending the consumer. There are strong antitrust laws in Europe, and those are maintained by a separate body that does not have any other task but to make sure fair competition in the European market. The attack by a political body itself is quite insignificant in this case, but the whole process of EU vs MS has nothing to do with some kind of protectionism against an American company.
You do realize Europe is consists of over half a billion people right? Computers have become ordinary products, leaving such a market would be corporate suicide... Now one of the Main goals of the EU is to defend the customer, all the EU are doing is what they were appointed to do. Such antitrust lawsuits are common places, be it a US company or not. Believe it or not it's not the task of the EU to ruin Microsoft, their task is to defend competition amongst companies inside the European market. Hell this would benefit many American companies as well and that's a good thing. The whole point is to allow customers to have the best solution for the best price, where that solution comes from is of absolute no importance.
Communism by definition (at least in the non-utopic form) is a state where production is decided by the state. Now The state itself is quite good at defining its needs, especially militarily, but whenever R&D is not pushed by consumer need/demand, it will never be able to satisfy consumer demand. And when there is no consumer demand for a product, how can R&D not stagnate? This is the most fundamental flaw of communism, and this flaw has been demonstrated around the same time Marx came out with his theory in the first place!
Yeah, they should set for one name and develop that, I guess they wanted to tie their web apps more to their desktop apps to give a sense of familiarity... But the worse part is even when they try to completely change their services, they still can't do it right.
Just look at their email. I have windows vista on another partition (for specialized programs that don't run on linux), well, it comes with Windows Mail. They changed their MSN/Hotmail service and you can download your mails on your desktop, great! So it's simple right, just use their new mail product to connect to the hotmail server... well NO! See their new Mail program is not 'Live' branded, so you need to download another Windows Mail, namely Windows Live Mail Desktop to use your hotmail on your desktop. And that new program logs in _before_ you can see your programs. How many mail apps do I need? And why do I have to sign in on MSN to read my other mail accounts?
And once you have installed Windows Live Mail Desktop, well it sets itself as the default program for reading your mails through windows live messenger. Worse part, it doesn't even work well with windows live messenger, since you usually have to delete mails in order for the number of mail notifications to be updated correctly!
All this money invested in locking customers into their live branded parts, such a waste! Instead of pouring money in 2 different programs, pour twice as much money in 1 and just set hotmail to work with pop/imap. Right now Microsoft has 3 completely independent email clients, 3! And none have actually been developed together, how stupid is this?
That's the problem with Microsoft, they are so obsessed with winning that they forgot that in the end, they are a service company, and in a service company you serve your customers, not yourself! Stop wanting to take over existing markets on the Internet and start creating yourselves new Internet markets. About any Internet company I think of that has been successful has brought a new experience to it's customers: eBay, Amazon, Yahoo, Google, Youtube,... they all had a compelling reason for customers to use their service.
On Internet you need 2 things to be successful, and Idea and money for development/marketing. They definitely have the money, all they need is NEW ideas to use their money on.
Yeah Dual Monitors are annoying, it's really quite easy actually (just editing a file), but lets say I would want to make a presentation, I'm yet to find a way to connect my laptop on the fly to an external monitor/projector.

And here I thought that the core of Marxism was that a central government ruled all production in a given country...
Truthiness Anyone?
In Soviet Ubuntu, apt gets you?
dpkg-reconfigure humor damnit!
The continent of Australia in English is called 'Océanie' in French, hence why they call it Oceania.

for l0, just go into /etc/network/interfaces and add the following lines:
/etc/init.d/dbus restart
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
You might need to restart dbus: sudo
If that fails, just come by in #ubuntu on freenode, someone will gladly help.
If you keep heading down this road the president becomes a figurehead, and soon the people that write the laws will be enforcing them as well.
Oh and here I thought it was the judicial branch that was supposed to enforce the laws...
More likely not enforcing them and building bridges to nowhere.
You mean, like the war in Iraq?

The bcm43xx driver doesn't even work!

Proof that man made God in his image!
For Linux, its impossible to know, of course... but for mac: http://www.systemshootouts.org/mac_sales.html.

And they are the best drivers, since they have the fewest amount of car related injuries.

But I would like to see what would happen if Microsoft just said "We're not changing our practices, so we won't sell our products in Europe."
Something among the lines of "Microsoft Goes Bankrupt"?
Who will be the ones in charge in a few years? Who will be the biggest consumers of media? Who will buy their DVDs/Blu-Rays or whatever later?
Attack Universities as a whole and you make the next generation of deciders pissed off at you...
Oh and college guys think they know better (I know, I am one of them), so they tend to not bend over that easily....
Bad move, really bad move...
Never mind, I did get tired of it...
I get to make this article burn in flames!!!
I just never get tired of it!!! (27th time and still going!)
