yeah... and it also provides the ability to get laid!! =D
dunno if this helps, but you may get a better resolution by changing your monitor and/or graphics driver ("Hardware" tab under "Display" in your "System Settings" - I use KDE, so it may be different in Gnome).
The other options is to haqq around with/etc/X11/xorg.conf (this is the file that the Hardware tab updates), but I don't recommend it if you are new to Ubuntu... if you decide you want to give it a crack, please follow a guide and *back up your xorg.conf file first*
Karmic does not work with a huawei e169 USB modem... bit of a disappointment as there was a kernal patch available weeks ago that fixes the problem.
I love Ubuntu and was looking forward to Karmic, but will wait another month or so before converting my main machine =(
I never use Windoze for online-banking, can't even trust it with my files. First preference is Linux (simply because that is my desktop OS) and then Mac. Been doing this for years.
It sounds like you need to grab a Venti Americano and have a good discussion with the group about what you want to accomplish (set a timeframe). Then sit down with another coder and start haqqing away. It doesn't matter if you start coding absolute garbage, just get it flowing. Don't worry about best practices or getting it perfect, that can come later - just make code. If it stinks, replace it with a prettier version next time around.
I usually get coders block from a lack of stimulation.. if the project is not interesting/stimulating enough, you may need some synthetic supplimentation (ie. C8-H10-N4-O2).
I'd donate to a (legitimate) fund aimed at defending Linux. Hey, I see it as a very small licensing fee for a great OS I enjoy using everyday (most days at least).
I opened this story ready to comment about encryption... and bang! It was the first reply! Must be a lot of ppl thinking the same thing. Stupid corporate business monkeys. The only thing their minds are capable of is greed.
From a web developers perspective, IE is simply a POS. It takes longer to port AJAX-based features to IE than it does to iteratively develop and test them in Firefox. FF proved great tools (Firebug, Web developer toolbar) to speed the process and has logical JS behavior. Who knows what kind of crack they deal out to their developers at M$.
You can't even get an accurate line number from IE for an exception, you need to fill your code with logging and/or alerts to find the source of an error. Even then, it just points out the location. The error message is too vague to mean anything. Scripts don't load as expected, you cannot do the kind of dynamic loading that you can implement in FF.... IE causes pain... IE causes pain...

Someone should fudge that 4 to be a 1 =P
Is there any correlation between these mass extinction events/periods and regular ice ages?
Well, Boeing are the experts in the art of cramming as many people into as small a space as possible - just look at their passenger jets =D

They look a bit like Tusken Raiders =P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tusken_Raiders
Google should just change the headings slightly using a Thesaurus or some Semantics.

Yeah, and it will be called "Lucid Lynx" =D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_.28Lucid_Lynx.29

Yeah, music is a good form of stimulation. Caffeine is another (as mentioned below) that works well with music.

I'm guessing you have already refreshed the page in case your browser is caching the old version?
I went to mozilla.com and was able to download it for Linux.
I don't think so... The aptitude link above does not. I am downloading it from the 'official' site as well to make sure my d/load is counted.
Looks like they have dropped it.. Now it just gives off 503's
This is one of the Ajax requests that page makes:
http://downloadcounter.sj.mozilla.com/data.php?reports=report_total_downloads
I'm waiting for it to load =D
We have a whole 24 hours to make the download count. I might try back in a couple hours (are there any other options =P).
Will aptitude installs count towards the record attempt?
From the table, it looks like the developers mainly use Solaris or Linux. The crash counts for those OS' are very low in comparison.
Or maybe - they are simply more stable!! (Mac is still 'low' relative to M$ Windoze)
Any news on an aptitude build? This would make it more attractive to upgrade.
They should also offer options/scripts for package managers too (aptitude, up2date, yum etc). That'll help boost their download numbers.
I remember it took a while before v2 was available through apt-get (Ubuntu). This form of install is appealing to the lazy among us.
