Alsa? What about the up and comming Pulseaudio. While it's great, it's a configuration nightmare waiting to happen. Especially with ESD and ARTS in the mix (no pun intended).
Well yeah, but do you think that MS invested 7 billion to have nothing but cute research results that don't make any money at all? And don't you agree that despite much exciting research their actual products aren't all that hot? I think that justifies the AC's cry, "$7,000,000,000??? What a monumental waste of money!"
You were replying to the AC's post, which was the GP to my post. So, yes you where. Anyway, he asked "If they're spending so much on R&D, where are the fucking results?". I didn't think unfinished research projects would qualify as "results".
And you are definitely confusing most U.S. churches with some other crack pot. There are very few here (close to 0%) that have problems with science or aliens or water on mars or whatever. Most things we are discovering still today are already in the Bible. Plenty of things (like DNA being a blueprint) are talked about in the Bible centuries before anyone had a microscope even close to capable of viewing it.
I see, so these 0% control the public discourse, curricula in schools, etc?
I'm sitting on a lenovo laptop with an Nvidia and the fan doesnt come on under normal conditions until the laptop is what i would consider too hot (~65 celsius).
Dude, don't sit on the laptop then, it's no surprise that it gets hot.
You are confusing the roman catholic church with your run-off-the-mill protestant crackpot from the US. The roman catholic church has stated numerous times that they see no conflict between either extraterrestrial life or evolution and the church. E.g., http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=12628
Because ever option has an associated cost in code complexity and user confusion that needs to be carefully weighed. Obviously different people can come to different conclusions here.
That said, I gather that there _will be an option in 3.1.
Usually, the Olympic villages are used as residential areas (often for university students and the like) after the games. The Chinese aren't stupid, so I would expect them to do the same, and I figure they want to use the Olympics to pay for all the infrastructure. Can't blame them, it's one of the points of having the Olympics in your country, after all.
Ubuntu CANNOT legally provide them, and I guess you might see how a gratis OS cannot pay Fluendo or the DVD mafia for legit codecs. Dell can, with the customer's money.
Also, besides DVD decryption, Ubuntu offers to install the required codecs when you want to play files that need them (but warns you that you are responsible for legality yourself). Besides, any Windows I have seen to this day came without divx codecs and Media Player failed to install them when it tried.
Well, Dell support should know, and fix it under warranty, really. Also, did you do _anything_ to try and find out how to fix it, like use Google? If that happened to your Dell, I doubt you are the only one.
just *try* to find the few systems that Dell has deemed to have Ubuntu installed on.. Not easy at all..
On dell.de I enter "linux" in the search box. Then it shows me laptops, desktops, rackmounts, printers, and so on. I also get results for support info, helpfiles, etc. In the frame on the left I can limit the search results to specific categories (Server:27, Desktops: 10, Laptops: 3, and so on).
At least Dell seems to be in a very close dialog with Ubuntu. And Fluendo also has quite some experience and employ some important people from the free sofware community, I doubt they would create bad packages.
I have no problem with that, but if what it means changes every few years, they should stop acting each time like it's the definitive word of god. Simple.

Where the drivers part of the kernel? If not, the "make open drivers for your device and Linux will support it forever" argument does not apply.
Implements.

George Bernard Shaw to the rescue: "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who don't have it."

Pulse has esd compatibility, so just get rid of esd: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/pulseaudio-esound-compat
Not for arts, though: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ#WhataboutcompatibilitywithaRts

Thanks for playing.
Still, I'm not sure where you are going to get a subnotebook with a ten inch screen for £220.
Maybe the MSI Wind. Not sure about the prize, but the screen size fits.

Um, that's the list of research projects. The GP asked where the results are, in software that made it to market (I assume).
Ubuntu will grumble that they just made Apt and Deb simple enough for everyone to use
Come again?
If that's Unix_history-simple.svg (which it is), I'd hate to see Unix_history-complex.svg.
Here you go. Well, not svg.

But the whiteboard would probably require them to think it through some more.

You use your own VPN anyway if you care.
Everyone who paid attention these last few years?
Dubai is gearing up to become the largest and most affluent gated community in the world.

Really, you are still doing this after a story is a few days old already? Weird.

Are other dell domains different?
