No, I don't know anything but the basics of Excel or Word; I don't need to. When a prospective employer sees no "Word and/or Excel TRAINING", I'm dismissed almost immediately because the AVERAGE HR PERSON (not all) can't tell their you-know-what from a hole in the you-know-where because they are HR; they have no idea what the technical ability is represented by.
Obviously I do not know, but what you wrote there at least sounds like this does not make life easier for you, or is even a real problem. So I thought I'd ask if you ever considered learning these basics and getting some training certificate. Yes it's stupid and should not be required, but if it helps you get by the average HR person it would probably be worth it.
Except that videos *still* show tearing with the proprietary nvidia drivers even if they are not being dragged around. (And yes, I have set the vsync option in nvidia-config).

You still are dependent on someone else' hardware. You are dependent on how they maintain that server, that router, that infrastructure. THAT, is not freedom. All you have done is create a veil, a facade of safety.
Still stupid even if it was the GP's own estimate. A good PM would have sat down with him to see how to improve the estimate for next time. There are good methods for that.
OMG aptitude wants to remove your bladder as a dependency!
Are you just parroting what you hear from others, or do you tell lies on purpose?
aptitude -s remove evolution-data-server The following packages will be REMOVED:
evolution-data-server 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 1.843 kB will be freed. The following packages have unmet dependencies:
evolution: Depends: evolution-data-server (>= 2.32.2) but it is not going to be installed.
Depends: evolution-data-server ( 2.33.0) but it is not going to be installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages: 1) evolution 2) evolution-exchange
So, that's one thing. The other is that evolution-data-server is not evolution. It's a tiny server that makes sure of integration between, e.g., that calendar panel applet and evolution. It's absolutely no problem to remove evo and leave e-d-s installed. In fact, the whole reason to split this out from evo was to ease up on dependencies.
See, people need to decide if they want a tightly integrated distro (which does what modern OSes do, like give access to the calendar application via the panel), or a distro that is nothing more than a bunch of apps on a disk. If they want the former, they must stop complaining that they cannot remove/exchange every single thing. If the latter I don't know why they even use Ubuntu.
It was always a software roulette determining if removing the evolution package would "convienently" uninstall 90% of Gnome.
You're the 5th poster or so who mentions this, and at least on Ubuntu 11.04 it is just not true:

Pity:( Of course I have no idea about your condition and the quality and duration of training you tried, so I trust that you had a reasonable teacher and gave it a chance for sufficient time. If you reconsider at any time, feel free to email me; I'll remember this conversation. Otherwise, you *should* give the marijuana a try I guess... Good luck once more!
Not a drug, and there are no guarantees, but did you try Tai Chi Chuan? Last yeara small study found that it helps with some of the symptoms. My mother-in-law, who suffers from fibromyalgia, reports that since she has taken up Tai Chi the symptoms improved and, maybe even more importantly, she feels much better emotionally. As a Tai Chi Chuan practitioner of 14 years myself, I would say that regardless of any effects on fibromyalgia it is worth taking up TCC anyway for the many general benefits it brings. But from to my experience with the art and from the little I know about fibromyalgia I can very well imagine how it helps, as TCC is very much about regaining control over one's body (and mind), which includes stuff like learning how to relax muscles that are habitually tense.
It can be taunting to find a good TCC teacher/school, and bad ones abound. You want someone who treats TCC as the martial art it is, not some kind of dance or gymnastics. If you email me I may be able to give you advice in this area, depending on where you live. Good luck in any case.
"One of the nice things about slashdot is actually the fact that the readers are not segregated politically."
Yes slashdot is segregated politically at least when it comes to mods. Most of them have american viewpoints (i.e. pro capitalist, pro free market, pro libertarian, anti-left). Slashdot is heavily weighted towards americanized views of things.
I don't see that (and I'm not American), but so what. You can always read at -1, basically turning off that filter.

What does "has seen" signify? I suppose it "has seen" me as well, when I spent 5 minutes there, doing nothing.
But if Qt/KDE and gtk+/Gnome support Wayland in addition of X, won't the apps get Wayland support for free, and will be able to use either?
x11 in general - seems to work just fine.

You don't know what you are talking about.
I don't know how the submitter forgot pre-war abuse as well as more abuse than is to be expected during the war. Gestapo, anyone?

A click works for me in FF5
Also not that "no moving parts" is not even necessarily true: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/oskarpuzzles
True, but to balance it out the submitter forgot about the existing iPhone/iPad support.

Life sucks, doesn't it?
Yes, which is why advanced civilizations invent insurance systems to cover the suckiest of times. Unemployment compensation is exactly that.

+1 from me, I did this in the previous Unity topic on /.
Oblig.:
Only six people in the Galaxy knew that the job of the Galactic President was not to wield power but to attract attention away from it.

Or, novel concept, we could look at the merits of what he has to say.
Who? Anyway, I found the comments disagreeing with him much more insightful.
On the internet you can search for names, and the site I linked is a so-called blog that lets you read, for example, previous articles.
Haven't made up my mind yet, but I often find Matthew Garrett's blog posts insightful, and he doesn't like it: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/136274.html
