The problem is HTC hasn't got the word out. Everyone's talking about the Samsung Galaxy S3 and new iphone, but the One X is, IMHO, the best phone on the market right now. The screen alone makes it better than the SGS3 and iphone 5. Also has a very nice camera and never lags. Everyone who sees my phone is like "wow, what phone is that?"
I've also owned the One V, which is a low end phone, but surprisingly feature packed. For the record, I actually like the HTC Sense interface better than vanilla android.
I'm using XFCE with Nautilus as file manager and desktop on Ubuntu. It took me a couple hours to work out the kinks of using Nautilus as the desktop. If I recall, it was a bit tricky to get the nautilus desktop "on top." I think I deleted/usr/bin/{whatever XFCE desktop is called} and made a startup script to start nautilus as the desktop.
I don't like this setup as much as Gnome 2, but it's a million times better than Gnome 3 or Unity. I never could get into KDE.
Except, doing so would create incentives for insiders to leak security secrets to hackers in return for a cut of the reward, thus defeating the purpose.

-I use gthumb for organization and importing from the camera (way better than f-spot, which I've never liked) -I use ufraw with the GIMP plugin to process raw files -I use GIMP for further processing -I use Hugin and its associated tools for panoramas
That's all I need, and I sell photos every week, however, I'll be looking into some of the tools mentioned in the article.
My first reaction to the awesomebar was also negative. But now I think it's great. After a few days' use it is much better than the old addressbar. I've always navigated to my favourite sites by typing the first letter or two of the site's address in the addressbar. Now with the awesomebar I don't have to push the down arrow to select the correct site, it just automatically knows which one I meant.
I've used the address bar in the same way as you for years and I was very skeptical of the awesomebar. But after you use the browser for a couple days, the awesomebar gives you what you want. I still type s, and since I visit slashdot a lot, it is in the top two hits in the awesome bar.
So give it a try.
This happened to me. I booted into Windows XP for the first time in months just to check out SP3 and that same night my router went crazy, lights blinking on and off. It's a cheap no-name router, I'll have to find out what chipset it is and whether I can upgrade the firmware just in case I ever boot into Windows again.
Bell started throttling my connection, so I switched to Teksavvy. Unfortunately Bell controls the wires so my connection is still being throttled. It's regrettable that Bell still gets some of my money, as Teksavvy has to buy its bandwidth from Bell, but they're getting less of it. As a bonus, the exact same internet service is cheaper from Teksavvy than from Bell. If enough people would switch, Bell might change its policy.
I'm not surprised there's no programming requirement. Undergraduate education is barely more than high school anymore, standards have been slipping for some time (check out the book "Ivory Tower Blues" by Allahar and Cote. It's a good read on the subject of undergraduate standards). Graduate level physics absolutely should be doing some programming, I don't see how you could get around it. Hell, I did some programming during my PhD in sociology of all things, so physics definitely needs it.
I just want my ISP to give me access to and from the internet. No inserting content, no filtering ports, no filtering content, no monitoring. Just connect me to the damn network allot me some bandwidth and leave me be!
Surely there must be demand for plain and simple, no strings attached internet access.
I installed the windows port of smartctl and can confirm that the load cycle count increases by more than one per minute on my Acer laptop running Windows Vista. Same behaviour as in Ubuntu (I dual boot). So this is definitely set by the BIOS, not the OS.
That said, is this aggressive park setting actually a good feature, since laptops are mobile and you don't want the hardrive head bouncing around on the disk if you move the laptop, accidentally or otherwise?
Pretty much all musicians copy those who influenced them. Led Zeppelin took the blues music that inspired them in new directions and to new heights. They created a harder more intense sound and influenced virtually every rock band since. You could similarly argue that later rock bands were blatant rip offs of Zeppelin.
I installed it on Feisty. Functionality wise, it's an improvement over older window managers. I don't much care for wobbly or flaming windows, but some of the features are very useful. Only problem is that if an app uses too much memory, the windows turn black. So I have it turned off.
I've been using iFolder for three years and it has worked perfectly. I use it to sync my home and office machines through my university's firewall. It's a PITA to build on Ubuntu and is a little heavier on system resources than I'd like, but it has been very reliable.
I just want to be able to take pictures with my camera, load them on any computer, edit them with any application, share them with anybody I want however I want, all without having to worry about politics, patents, payments or compatibility. This is pretty much what we have now. If anyone were to wreck it, I'll have to throw my computer in the trash and go back to film.
You have to hunt for codecs on windows too, and it's usually more difficult because each has to be found individually and sometimes they come along with crapware.
Is there a default scheduler in the linux kernel? If so, which is it? Are there several schedulers to choose from? If so, which one(s) do the major distros use? Will the new CFS be the new default or just another choice?

Crazy. I thought Microsoft, although very late to the game, had a legitimate chance to break into the tablet and phone market.
But isn't having apps the key to their potential success?
There must be big problems at Microsoft
The Government has stated they will support the bill.
This Conservative Government has a strategy of having backbenchers introduce potentially controversial bills.

This regular user would be happy if I could continue to use Firefox at work, on my locked-down, corporate maintained computer.
My computers are named
bella (the original, named after my cat)
hella (a piece of shit)
lella (my laptop)
rella (my windows computer that I access remotely)
della (an old Dell)
This might mean something to you:
sudo chmod -s /opt/Samsung/mfp/bin/Configurator
but to most people it looks like this:
doke ckcmd -? /dos/jegu/Samsung/^3#fY*a%@...
Sad to see this company stop making mobos
I remember my trusty NF7 fondly
This is exactly my setup. Works great.
I do all my photoprocessing on Ubuntu.
-I use gthumb for organization and importing from the camera (way better than f-spot, which I've never liked)
-I use ufraw with the GIMP plugin to process raw files
-I use GIMP for further processing
-I use Hugin and its associated tools for panoramas
