I'm also going to set up a 32 bit Dapper VM for those few progs that don't compile or run well on the 64 bit platform.
Creating a 32 bit chroot might be an easier choice for those apps, and I guess it will give you better performance. I'm pretty happy with it; and I started width warty and upgraded both main 64bit and 32bit chroot to breezy with little trouble. Furthermore, if you have same nvidia drivers installed on both, you will have 32bit accelerated 3D apps in your 64bit desktop.
Furthermore, I have to admit as well, what a shame, that when I heard of "Warty Warthog" and "Hoary Hedgehog" i supposed they were talking about victorian explorers... in pair of "livingstone" et al. My knowledge in history is very low:-P.
I'm not a psicologist, but IMHO this is how it works; and at least has worked for me:
In order to learn, you need to study. The way it works is by crunghing the info you got.
If you listen, you are crunching info at level "0". If you take notes, you are crunching at level "1". If you read the notes and write down an abstract/schema you are crunching at level "2". Trying to memorize the highlights, your level is "3". Math/phisics and other subjects as well, require further level "4" which is practice (problem solving, etc...)
So.. If you record the classes and you don't take notes and you just listen the lessons again, you are staying at the first, "0", level of study. Of course from that point you could follow the route with higher possibilities of success, but people tend to record the classes to avoid the stressful "1"-"4" steps, and that is why they miserably fail.
They are useful at least to mark/decorate certain desktop folders. But only if you use few emblems among all your folders/files; otherwise they may only mess the things up.
Please mod parent up, and also parent of parent deserves even more positive mods. I finally understood what it is going on and why is it so difficult to show the *real* numbers because the heavy memory optimization that it is going on. Impressive.
how do I get the proper DPI values ???
Several methods. The easiest one is just to measure the screen, convert to inches, check your resolution and divide. Take the mean between horizontal and vertical values.
However, 70 or 72 would be OK for 15" monitors with 1024x748 (including most laptops) and something close to 90 would be OK for 19" monitors with 1400x1024... YMMV.
I'm pretty happy with my aa fonts in my ubuntu box. Five tricks: 1) Use gnome. (Sure a KDE guy may give you similar reciepes, nevertheless) 2) Use "bitstream vera sans" for GUI and "bistream vera sans mono" for terminals. 3) Use proper DPI value at "Details..." at gnome-font-properties dialog 4) Enable Subpixel LCD at LCD displays, also there. 5) Enable "RenderAccel" option at xorg.conf if you are using nvidia card with nvidia drivers (just for performance issues)
Very good points, Ihlosi!. However I want to relativize them:
I would add that coriolis acceleration is proportional to the rotation speed, omega, cross product with the relative velocity (2Omega x Vrel). So if the astronauts are quiet they would not notice the coriolis force. The effect might be also lowered by making higher radius station with lower spin velocity (since omega*R is the centrifugal force which simulates the earth gravity, g=9.8m/s^2). Of course, making a large station (like "2001"'s) is very very costly. But what it is clear, is that nowadays the astronauts do not run at ISS either, so their Vrel is really slow. Thus, perhaps there is a suitable compromise. I don't really know, but it depends on the maximum expected velocity of someone (or something) inside the station, which is nowadays very slow.
On the other hand, the strain on the structure is negligible, since the centrifugal acceleration is at most one g. You don't want to train the astronauts there, do you?. Rotating strains are very important at wheels, aero-engines, etc... but there the accelerations are perhaps hundreds or thousands of g's.
IMHO, ISS is not rotational because the involved cost. I fully agree with you when you say that it is not simple.

So... you are on a diet. aren't you?
Wait... wasn't she virgin?
That's why I love Gnome's freecell (Aisleriot): svg(*) cards! :-)).
(*) Scalable Vector Graphics. The size of the cards depends on the size of the window, so they scale with the window/resolution/whatever.

Humans are worst than radiation.
As spanish guy, I have to admit that I don't know the meaning of these words:
Warty, Warthog, Hoary, Hedgehog, Breezy, Badger, Dapper, Drake
Furthermore, I have to admit as well, what a shame, that when I heard of "Warty Warthog" and "Hoary Hedgehog" i supposed they were talking about victorian explorers... in pair of "livingstone" et al. My knowledge in history is very low :-P.
is 1, also not a prime.
1 is not a prime?
Seems you are right and I was wrong. Nice-

You did not hear about canonical . Did you?
Please check also paid support options at ubuntu website.
Wow, too late, seems that they are offering ICAL format :-))
Now I see why SUN logo is blueish.
They are useful at least to mark/decorate certain desktop folders. But only if you use few emblems among all your folders/files; otherwise they may only mess the things up.
I would like to know if humans were also the most important human "predator" yet.

perhaps the supercomputer is somewhat biased, afterall. Thank-you Miguel
Otherwise sotware would not crash as expected.
He ain't exactly hurting for cash. That's just the awards he has won
Furthermore, he seems not to spend much money.
This is like modding an xbox 360/ps3/whatever with a Z80 - why whould you want to do that?
To play Manic Miner, obviously.
I understand your point; but, hmm, do you actually prefer corporation sotware instead?

same applies to pr0n...
