Meanwhile, in 2012, this script is still helping people. Thanks!

I'm a big fan of WriteRoom, myself.

Not sure if there's a portable version.

My undesrtanding is this: there isn't a Google + API yet, so integration with such services is out of the question for now. Give it time.

I wrote about Unity on MakeUseOf recently; almost all of the comments have been about how Ubuntu should stop messing around with the interface and just try to be like Windows, because that's what...

I'm really wanting to try this out and write it up, but the PPA doesn't work for 10.10. Is there any chance of that happening soon?

Pedobear is older than the Internet. Seriously.

So useful; thank you everyone!

I got it working with the packages mentioned above, but there's one hiccup: disconnecting from AirTunes doesn't tell the Airport Express to disconnect, meaning no one else can connect to the device...

Web servers are pretty smart, you're right. I'm also pretty excited about the idea of a print server for non-profits.

Does anyone have any media software that's easy to control from a remote? I...

I really like that jukebox idea...does anyone know of any software that would be effective in such a way? I'm thinking of something a little more slick than Rhythmbox or Banshee...something that...

Both great ideas. Another thing mentioned by someone on Twitter was using DansGuardian to make child-safe computers, which I also thought was cool.

I'm wondering if there are any similar...

Forumites,

I'm posting as a longtime lurker and occasional poster. I've been using Ubuntu since Breezy Badger and this forum right here has always been the primary reason for that. You guys rock....

I just want to say that I generally dislike Apple but love, love, love what Ubuntu is doing with Lucid. They're becoming more than a mere Linux distribution, more than a piece of software designed to...

While it's not technically the default, I'm yet to find a better theme than darkroom. I prefered the old human theme to the new human featured in 9.10.

Hey guys. I have a few Google Voice invites, and was wondering if anyone wanted to trade one for a Google Wave invite. Send me a private message if you're interested, and feel free to make your own...

Reminds me of the cash for clunkers debate. Yes, more fuel efficient vehicles are put on the market but cars that took carbon to produce are taken off the road before they otherwise would. Making...

Dear Ubuntu Community,

I've used Ubuntu exclusively on my machine for almost four years now, and I've always wanted a way to give back. Recently an assignment I got for a website I write for...

Hey guys, nevermind, I figured it out. This is fantastic! Thanks so much for providing such a workable solution...

This guide is fantastic, and I'm so close...but for whatever reason DHCP isn't setting up properly. I get the message

"No subnet declaration for eth0 (10.0.0.1)."

How can I get this working?

Okay guys, here's how it works.

Scenario 1: Pidgin as default

New Users: What the crap? No support for video messaging? Ubuntu sucks.

Old Users: LOL, NEWB. Install Skype and somehow...

There's also the non-trivial inclusion of audio and video messaging support in Empathy. Pidgin's promised this for years with seemingly no results, but Empathy has it now. For many new user's Ubuntu...

I've no idea what they did, but everything feels faster AND multiple monitors works again. Bravo.

Disney (which owns ABC) recently bought something like 30 percent stake in Hulu, which means ABC's shows should all be on hulu.com soon enough anyway; I doubt they'll change this before then.

That really sucks about the admin pulling the strings. In college I worked for a student paper that was well balanced overall, but really known for it's parody editions. We were told not to print our...

Regardless of what you think about the band or the upcoming album, I think we can all agree it's hilarious that an album called "Chinese Democracy" is resulting in the Chinese-style arrest of...
