    Certainly, some very well-made pressings can sound outstanding, even better than digital in a few cases.
    I think what you mean is "better than 128kbps MP3". Beacuse you see, if one was to digitally record your outstanding-sounding pressings at a decent quality, it would sound just as outstanding!

    How did you manage to say all of that without once using the phrase "in my day"?

    I've also had a very app crashes from apps installed with their package manager (Anjuta crashes when trying to create or import any Glade file). Now I know that's the app and not the OS, but given that it's installed from their package manager I expect some level of quality checking on the included version to make sure it's not going to crash on something so simple.
    Anjuta is in the universe repository, which specifically means Canonical don't support it. Nevertheless, the bug has been reported, and should be fixed in an update sometime soon (or you can fix it yourself with the repository in Naba Kumar's comment.)

    Want the audience to feel sad? In goes some depressants. Want them to feel the adrenaline the protagonist feels in a car chase? In goes an injection of adrenaline.
    But movies can already make people sad and excited. They don't need drugs for that.

    At my college we use Ghost to update everything. It seems to works fine (but I'm just a student so I can't say for sure.)

    Nuclear power = Green power
    The only way nuclear power equals green power is if you believe the cartoons. I totally agree that using it is better than dumping it, but don't try and make it sound different from what it is.
    From Wikipedia: Green energy is a term describing what is thought to be environmentally friendly sources of power and energy. Typically, this refers to renewable and non-polluting energy sources.
    The end.
