  2. He's a Class Act on Shuttleworth To Step Down As Canonical CEO In 2010 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I met Mark once, he is a wonderful down to Earth man. He knows what he is doing, he has been in space for crying out loud.

  3. They are in the repositories! on What Really Happened To Ubuntu's Edgy Artwork? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you like the screenshots (links posted earlier) for Peace, Tropic, and Blubuntu, then install them through your favorite package manager - they are in the Ubuntu repos.

  4. Lucky me! on Upgrading to Ubuntu Edgy Eft a "Nightmare" · · Score: 1

    I must have been lucky - the 'official method' worked fine for me, and I have a wireless internet card, LVM, and nvidia graphics (a typical deal breaker).

    Nothing had to be changed or edited, "It just work[s|ed]"(TM)

  8. Re:microwaves more than 100% efficient? on Company Develops Microwave-powered Water Heater · · Score: 1
    Well their website http://www.pulsar-at.com/ does not reveal any information.

    Maybe this is vaporware.... pun intended.

  9. Re:desperation? on Sun's Bold New Ad Campaign · · Score: 1
    At least by your own admission you 'know jack about marketing'. Take a look at the adds, they are funny and clever.

    This has already been a marketing success in at least one aspect - it has garnered free press.

  10. More sponsors for Ubuntu on New Ubuntu Foundation Announced · · Score: 1
    What would be great is if a large company decided to support to the Ubuntu foundation. Maybe one would get the ball rolling.

    Since Ubuntu was included in the Google Summer of Code, maybe Google will step up and make a pledge.

    Would this be a great step or what? We can hope can't we!

  11. Re:but seriously, who cares on LPIC 1 Exam Cram 2 · · Score: 1
    We don't start out with experience, so some of us get certifications to get a foot in the door. If you looked into this cert specifically I think you would find that it is not like MS certifications.

    I may be biased - I have passed the 101, and am taking the 102 in two weeks.

  12. Re:Any point other than passing an exam? on LPIC 1 Exam Cram 2 · · Score: 1

    This book provides a plethora of knowledge beyond just what is necessary to pass the LPIC level 1 exams. The exams cover such a broad range of useful topics that is saying a lot. The inaccuracies are a little frustrating, but overall this book is an excellent resource.

    I wave back and consider bringing my family up there to join you. In a few years of "Global warming is as silly as evolution" thinking, it win't be too cold there any more. Canada rocks! Yeah, yeah, off topic, I know.
