    Re: Proposed: Chromium as Ubuntu's default browser

    Just for the sake of discussion, I don't have the statistics handy, but I suspect that there are more android users out there than 'active' wordpress bloggers, so your argument could just as easily...

    Re: Proposed: Chromium as Ubuntu's default browser

    Nope. It truly doesn't.

    You dislike chrome and chromium because of a very specific set of behaviors when editing text in the browser that most users couldn't care less about.

    I love Chrome...

    Re: Proposed: Chromium as Ubuntu's default browser

    I agree with everything you just said, except that bit. It would be nice if that were true, but the entire marketing industry exists to prove that statement wrong. :P

    Re: Microsoft Office 2013

    Absolutely. Playonlinux is just a front end for wine that does handy things like set up indivdual wine prefixes, allow you to install multiple versions of wine, and automatically uses tested...
  6. Re: MIR will be the new display server, and Unity will be ported to Qt

    Judging by that video, Mir is looking pretty awesome for this stage of the game. Wayland took much longer than that to go from zero to running a desktop with X. If ubuntu keeps it up, there's...

    Poll: Re: is ubuntu going to terminate the project???

    You might want to be more specific. Which project are you talking about?
  8. Re: The default "documents, music, videos, etc" folders suck in all operating systems

    The only trouble I've had with default folders has bee with Wine applications that expect different file naming, but I've managed to solve that one with minimal headache. I just move everything...

    Re: Best way to start in the IT industry?

    Thanks to all for the continued feedback. In addition to everything else, I've picked up a copy of What Color is your Parachute? 2013 (I guess it gets a major rewrite every year) and Joh Acuff's new...

    Re: Best way to start in the IT industry?

    I think one of the things I'm really going to need to work on is my resumé/application writing. Getting an interview (for anything) has always been my biggest weakness in job hunting, but I tend to...

    Re: Best way to start in the IT industry?

    That's where I've been the last 8 years; a rut. It's definitely time to de-rut my laurels.

    I've talked to my wife, and on payday I'm going to pay for 6 months access to comptia's online study...

    Best way to start in the IT industry?

    I'm 32 years old, and like a lot of people, not in a job I care about. Pays the bills, but that's pretty much it. It's your basic "Oh God, it's Monday.... ....Thank God, it's Friday" kind of job...
  14. Re: Is it possible to make an external harddrive internal?

    +1.....mostly.

    Most external drives are compact drives, i.e. 2.5" drives, which are what most laptops use.

    Most external drives are very standard drives that will work just fine using standard...

    [ubuntu] Re: Netflix desktop

    I've not had any issues with netflix desktop since I only use it rarely. (I have a separate set-top box and my TV is a whopping 15 feet from the desktop, so I don't need it much)

    Anyway, I...

    [ubuntu] Re: install bet now, upgrade later

    There may not be. That's just one of the risks.

    This late in the game, what you're talking about is 'relatively' safe, especially if we're talking about a system that doesn't even have an OS at...

    You will need to change the ownership of the files, and it is MUCH easier and more reliable to do it through the console. I will give you directions, but you MUST be extremely careful, as anything...

    Re: Very small USB adapter for Bluetooth?

    You can do better than the one you linked. $15 at most online retailers will get you a very compact USB BT adapter, and almost all of them work just fine in linux these days.

    Re: Portal game won't download from Steam

    Fair enough. Personally, I'm extremely happy with Unity, all except for it's poor performance with full screen games. Unredirect fullscreen helps, but really isn't a perfect solution. In any case,...

    Re: Portal game won't download from Steam

    If you think that's impressive, log out of Unity, and log back in to Gnome Failsafe (no effects), then try Skyrim again. On my system the difference is pretty huge.

    Re: Portal game won't download from Steam

    A side note, I wouldn't just install steam through playonlinux.

    What you'll find, is that MANY games that play fine using wine, each require slightly different tweaks and adjustments to wine to...
