    Re: Wikipedia: Does it have a future?

    Re: Wikipedia: Does it have a future?

    Re: Wikipedia: Does it have a future?

    Uhm. I never happily part with any of my hard earned money and though I am far from perfect, I do try to be a conscious buyer. Shouldn't you instead be motivating people to think all of their...

    Re: Wikipedia: Does it have a future?

    I was researching what exactly the money donated is spent on and I came across various pages from Wikimedia such as this short FAQ and the financial reports.

    Re: Wikipedia: Does it have a future?

    I have become a little bit disillusioned with Wikipedia. Both from the perspective of a contributor and a user.

    I've been using Wikipedia since at least 2005 and in the past I have made several...

    [ubuntu] Re: Getting my touchscreen to work

    I don't have a TERRA All-In-One PC 1910 but I do have a ThinkPad X61 tablet which has a resistive Wacom touchscreen. In my case there's three devices: 1 for the stylus, 1 for touch and 1 for the...
  7. [ubuntu] Re: Linux bug on website -- how do I identify component for bug report?

    And if you're in a hurry or if they ignore you you could always install Stylish and fix it using a user stylesheet.

    Some day yes :-) The headset's gone now, but if it ever makes a return and I've upgraded to Jaunty I will take a look at it at the link regarding PulseAudio you just gave. Thanks!
  12. [ubuntu] Re: How to disable new applications to steal focus?

    /apps/metacity/general/focus_new_windows is a gconf key so use gconf-editor to modify it. I'm not sure how this will affect focus stealing overall so you'll have to check for yourself.
  13. [ubuntu] Re: How to disable new applications to steal focus?

    If you're using Metacity you just have to set /apps/metacity/general/focus_new_windows to strict which results in windows started from the terminal not being given focus. Potentially you could also...

    Geany is not a compiler, it's a text-editor (or lightweight IDE if you prefer), but I assume you already know that. It does have the ability to call an actual compiler though, e.g. g++ (potentially...
