...has an app to clear the snow from around my home?

Just heard on the local news that more snow is expected for the UK in the next 48 hours. Why can't we in the UK work with the snow? Others countries can.

Connect your snow removing machine or whatever it's called to your wireless network, program it's pathway across the lawn, sit back and relax.

In the movie weird science they made a woman with 1985 software. you should have no problem using Ubuntu to create a snow removal team.

Yes Ubuntu can clean the snow. Sit in front of Ubuntu and start making heavy contributions to the development and testing, contribute code, bug reports and bug fixes. I grantee you that by the time 11.04 comes out, the snow in front of your house will be all cleaned up.

Not now, but I hear there's a feature request for that in with the Nautilus devs.


In the mean time, fire up KDE on your laptop and set it in the snow. The CPU utilization will cause your problems to melt away.

Good one. :lol:

I think it would be a better idea to run Windows 7 with a bunch of viruses and Norton installed on a Pentium 4 though.

You could always surf the porn sites and direct your heavy breathing out to the snow.

I concur! Even the theme tune is ace (by Danny Elfman, the guy that did the Simpsons theme tune, it was remixed by Derrick L Carter which is ace!!)

Back to the snow problems here in UK I thought why not get one of those robot lawnmovers or vacuum cleaners and sent it around the garden in the snow? :P

I use cloud computing to stop the rain and maybe the snow as well.
