I doubt it is truly 'useless' to you, however it is useless to me. Don't believe me? Allow me to demonstrate the extent of the problem I have with it:

This isn't a tech support thread, my webcam problems (which you may have seen) have been solved and my webcam now outputs excellent video and audio. My problem now is the software side.
For...
The best I saw was from the Creative forum on a thread about X-Fi Linux drivers, where the mod said the thread had "gone off the rails, rolled down a hill, hit a cow, and exploded".
I've been using Amarok for a long time, from 1.3.9 (in early 2006 on Kubuntu Breezy) to 2.2.2 (up until recently on Debian Squeeze), but I found I simply could not love Amarok 2. To borrow a phrase...
There is a fundamental problem with this though. Note the two most popular operating systems, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Note the lack of fragmentation. You know why there's no fragmentation?...
I'm somewhat reluctant to, since that would mean resetting the router and WPA didn't work at all the last time I tried. It was suggested that I may be missing the wpasupplicant package. If so, I'll...
It doesn't. I specify WEP numerous times, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to want to listen. I create a connection, and specify WEP. Then I click on my router's name in the list Ubuntu gives me, and Ubuntu...
I've got an Ubuntu PC here that only connects to the internet through Wi-Fi (the position makes a wired connection ludicrously impractical) and it worked fine for a while. But then the wireless...
Similar here, but my preference is for Yakuake.

Being able to press F12 and see a translucent terminal literally drop down from...
I personally prefer OSS. To me, it feels more stable and more complete than ALSA. I used it for a long time, but ended up dumping it after having sound problems with the OSS output on MPlayer, where...
I'm using Debian testing (with some packages from unstable and experimental) myself, and I'm liking it a hell of a lot. It seems to be the perfect sweet spot between cutting edge and outdated. You...

It's a Unicomp Customizer (105-key, UK English layout), the date on the back says "7/2/2009" (which I assume to mean 2nd June 2009,...
I'd already heard about everything there except AROS and Visopsys (though I admittedly knew little about ARanyM as well). I've actually tried ReactOS and Haiku in VirtualBox, and they both look...
Poll is no longer tied.
As some other posters said, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD seems like a good place to start, given that Ubuntu Linux is based on Debian GNU/Linux. This seems like a pretty good time...
Isn't that a case of going backwards? They had a unified UI for Windows and GTK+/X11 prior to Firefox 3.0, with the result that it looked great on Windows and not so great on anything that wasn't...
I'm going to be looking that up, but I'll have to see if I can dig out the motherboard manual and figure out what sort of RAM I actually need.
Also, funny that you also mention 2GB. That's exactly...
We've got two PCs here, a high-sped Core 2 Duo and a low-spec AMD Sempron. Both have their problems, but this topic is about the latter.

Yes, it failed. It was standardized 11 years ago, yet I never see it in my everyday activities and only one browser (Konqueror) currently supports it. As far as an attempt to replace the animated GIF...
Yeah, they'd rather we use the bloated and difficult MNG format instead, which will never happen because all of the major browser manufacturers have considered and rejected it as a possibility.

I also like the term 'shop-fu'.
With precisely zero support from Canonical, I've installed OSSv4 and made it work with almost all of my applications (the only ones that refuse to work are closed source applications only made for...
I'm increasingly wondering what is actually the point of Linux using ALSA these days. Nothing else uses ALSA, nothing else uses anything like ALSA, all of the software developers I've talked to...
I've been tempted to jump in at the beta myself, though I decided against it. I'll just wait until the final release. It's only a month to wait.
Recently I've got a webcam and started wanting to use it with Skype. It may be closed source, but they have an x64 build and it works very nicely with my desktop.
The only problem with this is...
