Since upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 I've found that sabnzbdplus does not respect my chosen theme when going to the config section. Whatever theme I choose is used for the home screen, queue etc, but...

Fairly sure Firefox does those optimisations itself these days, based on appropriate criteria.

My favourite current philosopher would be Massimo Pigliucci, one of the contributors to http://rationallyspeaking.blogspot.com/ and Fellow of http://www.csicop.org/

"When is Ubuntu going to get wirless (sic) figured out?"

About two years ago.

May have. Nothing like a PR stunt, though - http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/03/05/has-life-been-found-in-a-meteorite/

Therefore we 64 bit users install deb files as well...

Thanks moma, unfortunately it made no difference. I now know why.

A helpful person on Identica suggested an strace (strace adb fork-server server) and towards the bottom were some extra details...

Hi thanks for the reply.

I first encountered issues via Eclipse with it not being able to connect. Manually running ADB has really just been to try and troubleshoot, as that's where the failure...

Hi all,

I'm not a programmer but decided to have a go at setting up the Android SDK as it interests me. Following the guides on the Android dev site it has mostly been fine. The one thing that...

Works beautifully here at the moment, except Flash flickers badly. Better than the massive memory leak (growing 100mb/second) Flash caused with H/W accelerated layers on until recently :)

I agree that would be a nice addition. Could be worth filing a bug for that small change, or perhaps Nautilus Elementary does it (or will be receptive to the idea).

For this, you can click where it says "Places" above the side pane and change it to "Information". That will show you modified dates and file sizes, though the latter also appear in the status bar....

Have upgraded to 10.10 on one machine that I'm about to give to a friend and all-in-all it's far better than on 10.04 which had major graphics issues (known Intel 845 problems).

Yep, the CMS takes care of the HTML & CSS for each page, you more or less just do the content. They're usually (eg. Joomla, Drupal) template based systems, so the whole site can be modified with a...

If your HTML/CSS coding ability is still at the Frontpage level (which is fine), I have three words for you - Content Management System. That way you don't burden the rest of us with buggy, MS...

I think on a 64-bit platform with 64-bit Virtualbox, you can run 32-bit VMs. Not vice-versa though. At least, that's what I'm doing with VBox from the Ubuntu repositories on 10.04.

Another option if you have a computer capable of virtualisation is http://www.turnkeylinux.org/joomla

It's a pre-configured Joomla install (apache, php, mysql talking to it already) based on...

The Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins.

Would like to grab Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World next.

You'll have to provide more detail than that. Flash crashing should not (and in my experience *does not*) bring down Firefox as a whole from 3.6.4 onwards. That doesn't mean you can't have crashes...

What version of 'mountall' are you running? There was an issue between that and Plymouth that was fixed in mountall 2.15, which is in lucid-updates

Do you have the "indicator applet" on your panel?

Let's us commit the fallacy of assuming resources devoted to fixing one problem automatically detract from the resources available to fixing another, especially in FOSS. If programmer/bug hunter A...

Upgraded the desktop to 10.04 yesterday, working very nicely - big thanks to the work of the nouveau team for helping me eliminate the nvidia binary driver.
