Graphics card is Nvidia Optimus but it works perfectly once Bumblebee is installed.
Everything else works out of the box.

I just got an HTC One X+ to replace my HTC Desire and have come up against this annoying removal of USB mass storage.

While it's annoying that MTP isn't well supported in Ubuntu at the moment, the...

Ascurion you legend! I'd given up on ever getting this thing working under Ubuntu and that simple little trick made it spring to life. What a weird switch, I never even noticed it was there! Thanks...

I tried to run Windows XP in VirtualBox not long ago for gaming and didn't have much success. The copy protection on several games failed to validate that the disc was in the drive and the ones that...

Perhaps bouncingwilf is talking about how it is very difficult to buy a computer (especially a laptop) without paying for a Microsoft product, even if unwanted. Just a thought.

Xubuntu 11.10 for everything except playing Windows games.
Windows XP for playing Windows games :)

Although I agree that this is a very generous donation, I think it should almost be expected of people with such insane amounts of money. I mean, it's hardly like he's going to miss out on any...

I doubt they would shut down the websites of any paying customers, that would just be silly, but they may shut down any sites being hosted for free. If your business website demanding high uptime is...

I have an HTC Desire running Android 2.2.2 with HTC Sense. I've had it for nearly two years and I'm very happy with it, easily the best phone I've had. I don't really have any desire (ha!) to replace...

Xubuntu 11.10 on my desktop and laptop, as I prefer the way the desktop works in Xfce over Unity, although I still keep a close eye on Ubuntu's development.

I don't know, just because something is open source doesn't mean it has to be devoid of standards. There's the Gnome interface guidelines, freedesktop.org, web standards, POSIX... Admittedly I'm not...

When 11.04 came out I gave Unity a try for about a month, but in the end decided it wasn't for me and switched to Xubuntu 11.04, which I really like. Having tried out Unity in 11.10 I can see that it...

Yeah when you put it that way it makes sense too. I guess it's just easier if everyone sticks to the same thing, but which way is going to win? ... FIGHT!

I don't care about the operating system, I can reinstall that easily. I just use rsync to copy my data across my desktop, laptop and external hard drive to keep them in sync and keep several copies....

This is what I've always thought, that the down arrow for ascending makes more sense because that's the order it "points" in the column.

I know how broken the software patent system is, and yet this still rendered me speechless... While reading about the HTC sues Apple article on the BBC, I happened across this article about a patent...

Yes I use it at work to do web development in ASP.NET and C#. I use it on Windows XP. I find it a very capable and full-featured, if sometimes quirky, IDE.

No the quality won't come back. Once converted to a lossy format, the quality is lost for good. You'd need to rip from the original source to get it back into a lossless format.

I don't know about you guys, but I sure feel more in the know about the neoconstructivist paradigm.

Lol it's "one fell swoop", but for some reason "one swell foop" made me laugh a bit too much!

Did Apple fake some of the evidence that led to the injunction?

Good point. Reminds me of a bit in Revolution OS which I watched a couple of days ago where Bruce Perens says that, as far as he's concerned, the only area in which he and RMS differ in opinion is...

No way I believe that! Sure there are tons of free software zealots around, but Apple has a bizarre and quite frightning grasp on people's perception of their products. They have made creating a cult...

Another +1 for Xubuntu. I switched after my irritations with Unity became too numerous (the final one was when one of my favourite games, Freeciv, is unplayable in Unity because of a nasty UI bug). I...

I don't normally like horror films, but 28 Days Later is brilliant. I also love Sunshine but I see you've already seen that. Err...Deep Impact? Much better than Armageddon. There's also The Day After...
