Oh, another fun element I forgot to mention is that a newbie might compile ALSA but the ALSA channels are muted by default, so fiddling with the gnome panel mixer won't result in any sound even if...

If you think that's bad, try supporting any belief system that's outside of the perspicacity of the average schmoe. I could tell tales of some of the pure mooncalf-borne dysfunctional idiocy I've...

This is one area where (sadly) Linux is like Windows, and only because we're either at the mercy of manufacturers or we have to use frequently updated software as hardware is reverse-engineered and...

Hooray, I don't have to feel too old right now. It's actually quite pleasant to know that people browsing the same things that I am are a fair bit older (and by that I mean at least a few years), as...

Same here.

Honestly, what is this drive to change just for the sake of change? There's rarely ever a logical reason behind it (I have asked around and I've never seen one yet), and the...

It is a shame this happened to you, because whenever someone gives a damn about their computer and all the effort they put into it, something like this can be genuinely stressful.

I second not...

Good grief, it is cute.

It even has a D-Pad and buttons... at the side of the monitor, no less! I can't help but imagine how well that works.

I'm using Swiftweaswel (Google it up'n see!).

Basically, it's a custom Firefox build with GPL'd media, making it more of a Free application than Firefox is by default.

I'm also running 3.0b2,...

Looks like you've figured it out, DarkPat.

When I see threads like this though, I'm always reminded of my old pen & paper days, picking classes and such. There are so many parallels I could draw....

I've explained my thoughts on an end-user Ubuntu in threads elsewhere, a few times. To recap though: I think that for end-users, the name 'Ubuntu' even probably isn't wise. End-users on this forum...

Well, I admit that I'm poor. At least, I'm poor when speaking mainly of materialistic monetary matters, but I am (as they say) rich in spirit! I'm definitely on the lower rung of the class...

I really can't help but wonder what would motivate someone to do that, on a psychological level. I'd love to be able to talk one-on-one with one of those 'contributors', so that I might pick their...

What I got from this one was... unexpected, but thouroughly entertaining nonetheless!

Oops indeed.

(I apologise if this is in the wrong area, but since this is related to games I think it'd be okay if I posted this here. If it's not, please move it.)

I had found myself in a bit of a mental...

As I've said in another thread, I agree with this on a marketing level.

This is why we have detergents with names like 'Daz', and OSes with names like 'OS X' or 'XP'. A marketable name needs to...

I see a few people have taken this as free, as in freeware and not having to pay for it? I think the question though was more in regards to if it were not FOSS, as in free rights.

It's true that...

I use this line for my /usr/sbin/debsbydate script, it's not the most imaginative thing I've done and it could certainly be handled in a more graceful way... but I never bothered tinkering with it as...

I liked the first one, and I'm not afraid to admit it as I find comfort in the vast and varied manifestation of the uncool.

I'll add that any movie which has a man dancing and singing about crème...

I have years of Windows experience, so I know lots of the hidden little secrets that Microsoft would probably prefer kept hidden from the end-user. Will I use that knowledge to help people? The...

These are the extensions I run, along with their own descriptions.

Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.3.1.3 - Synchronizes Adblock with Filterset.G

You could also add Kenta Cho's games to the list, that man's a visionary when it comes to shoot 'em ups.

And thankfully, all of his games have been ported to Linux by some nice chap suspiciously...

By command-line, do you simply mean something that'll run in a terminal without any graphical requirements?

If so, would you be after something like finch?

I don't have an exact laptop to recommend, but I do have some advice...

Keep in mind that hardware support is on the frontier with Linux, everything under the sun isn't going to have a driver for...

Luckily I use my laptop for my Ubuntu needs, and it's powerful enough. When it's not, I borrow my room-mate's Linux-based laptop, and that's always powerful enough.

I did install Ubuntu on the...

After seeing that image... I can't help but wonder (and I direct this ponderance to the community at large), along with what you drink from, what would be your ideal chalice of choice, what manner of...
