Depends on the program; on every platform, programs all have their own quirks. For instance, some programs on linux store their config in ~/.program, some in/etc/program, some in/usr/local/program/conf, etc etc etc.
What linux program worth its salt stores configuration in/usr/local of all places ???
Agreed. I really don't understand how Tosh gets so much airtime. I used to be a frequent Comedy Central viewer, but no matter when I tune to CC, without fail, Tosh.O is playing. With Futurama gone there is not much of an incentive to tune in outside of the Colbert Report and the Daily Show.
I've been a decibel subscriber for a few years now (http://www.decibelmagazine.com/). If you're into metal, you should really check this zine out. Every issue even comes with a "flexidisk"of a featured arist that you can play on your turntable. Rock the fuck on!
I agree -- Google selling their services for cash does not seem to be a good business decision for Google. I for one would be happy to pay for a Google account where my privacy was ensured. Since that's not an option, I've switched my mail over to another provider that encrypts all of their email and provides POP3/IMAP for a modest monthly/yearly fee. I use http://lavabit.com/ but there are other alternatives as well.
Now that's not to say mail is the only feature that Google provides. I've migrated any work I've done with Google docs to my local box and am using LibreOffice. I use my VPS for storage instead of Drive/dropbox. I use XMPP instead of Google Talk in Gmail exclusively. The only Google service that I have yet to liberate is the calendar service (simply because I have not found a company that sells managed CalDAV servers).
It will probably be a small minority of Google users moving their services elsewhere and probably won't have a large impact on their business, but I can be happy to know that I'm not selling my privacy for Google services.
When Google unveils the other super secret project it has been keeping under the wraps, the Google WiMax Nationwide (tm) project that gives Wi-Fi access to all Chromebook Pixel users for free, who will be laughing? Pixel users get 50GB data per month, Nexus users 10 GB/month, all other Android users get 2GB/month free, Wi-Fi calling using VoIP is included too. If you need more data than that the planned rate is something like 1$/GB or something. Non Android gmail users pay 5$ a month for 2GB/ month. Non-Android Non-gmail users pay some 20$ a month for 2GB/month.
How accurate are the numbers? Where did I get this info? Well, I am just day dreaming, hoping this comes to pass, and everyone thinks I have a super high level mole inside Google organization. That should be worth some 15 minutes of fame, should it come to pass, that is.
When? Don't you mean if?
Do you have any links whatsoever to back this up?
And anyway I don't think I would be bummed out if Google rolls out WiMax and i wasn't an early adopter on their netbook...
Yes,
and this
Users will be able to shop for applications from their PCs, which isn't possible with the existing version of Android Market, or from their smartphones, and pay with their existing Amazon account.

I'm a proud Supercard Lite owner. You speak of a homebrew e-reader; that would be infinitely useful. I've searched and haven't found much. Could you share you links for your nds ereader?
I would have no problem buying music if prices were reasonable. $10 a CD is a fine price for a brand new CD, imho. When you can only find a reasonable price of $10 for bands that are on their way out, there's a problem.
Note to record industry: Lower CD prices and give a higher percentage to artists and I'll start buying CDs again.
The Ubuntu Studio project is NOT a fork. The project ONLY uses packages that are found in the official Ubuntu repositories. However, the project is an initiative to get packages into Ubuntu and have them integrate with each other; and also provides an installation CD that will install a sound Ubuntu installation for Studio work. Theoretically you could install Ubuntu studio via an apt-get meta-package (apt-get install ubuntu-studio), although I am not sure if something like this is in place yet.
Ubuntu Studio is NOT a fork. It's NOT a distribution. It is a customization of Ubuntu.
It's a tough life being a pro gamer. Pro gamers like to think a lot, right? I mean I think about all the n00bs in the world, and liek how many have I pwned?

Not a surprise at all. Comedy central needs that extra airtime for more tosh.o :P

there are others but I don't remember what they were
Biennial cycle.
Biannual**. Biennial == once every two years. Biannual == Twice a year.
The OED says biannual is twice a year and biennial is every two years. That appears to be the opposite of what you're claiming.
You're right. It's been a long day
Bi-annual == once every two years
Biennial == twice a year

Can someone please mirror ? The server appears to be down but I'd like to give the latest 64 bit binary they have a shot.

My vote goes to jump to version 10.0, but leave the option for Linux 11.0. Just in case you need that extra UMPH.
This is definitely worse than a couple of years ago everyone referring "mp3 players" as iPods regardless of the brand.

What's the point? It's easy enough to share/sell an application on Google's Android App store...

1) 2.3 seems to have some great speed improvements. I'm running the gusty build on a AMD sempron 2600+ and writer opens in about two seconds.
Did you get the memo?
Of course! If you don't like something, just illegalize it. It sure as hell has worked for drugs and underage drinking...

I didn't RTFA or RTFSummany. Or RTFD. I opened this page, did a good old ctrl-F: 9 chair instances, already.
