Forgive me if I don't give a s***.

People like you call me and annoy the hell out of me all the time. You know what you do is skuzzy and unwanted and that 90% of the people you call isn't interested in the snake oil your selling.

If your choose to be a sales moron then its your own damn fault.

Your not my customer. You didn't pay me anything.
Your not Ubuntu's customer either unless you bought some kind of support package from Canonical.

It's not my fault you can't be bothered to read what's out there. The solution I, and others, have given you would allow you to move the window further up the screen, just because it's off the screen doesn't mean you can't move it up, to click the OK button. Which you stated was the desired result. So it's also not my fault that you would rather argue with me than simply accept the information and try it out.

I am so sorry we disappointed you sir. I'll be more than happy to refund you the complete cost of the software and support received so far. Here is your 0$.

Have a nice day. BTW I do work in customer service. Technical support as a matter of fact. Customers like you make my head ache. Thankfully you are few and far in between.

But now this thing will start running kiddie porn and illegal software, viruses and Malware though my connection as well so that I don't get classified as any.

I'd love to see what defence you use when your door gets bashed in in the middle of the night.

Necessity may be the mother of invention but laziness is the father.

Nothing better will come along until they find a way that's easier "for them". Inevitably however that system will be hard "for us".

This is how we get crap like DRM and such.

My snark has less to do with the fact that he is asking for help but more in the manner in which he states his problem. Which for the most part boils down to "Linux sucks because it doesn't do X, Windows is better"

I'm simply pointing out that for firstly, yes it does, and secondly so does Windows. And thirdly if he had a bad or buggy driver in Windows XP he might get the exact same situation.

I also want to point out that while windows doesn't have as many of these types of video problems; it's because the device manufacturers don't provide drivers in a lot of cases. Do you honestly think Microsoft wrote every driver for every device that ever installs on its system? No! The people who make the device do. While it is true that Microsoft provides a lot more generic drivers, in a lot of cases it's because they have signed an agreement including NDA's and such with the device manufacturers to provide some basic specs to allow them to do so. Why that much hastle? Because while the companies making the product want to have their stuff work they also don't want to let everyone else see how they do things.

Linux has it's flaws, I'm not trying to pretend it dosen't. But a lot of the problems with Linux have very little to do with Linux and more do do with the way software and devices currently interface with each other and the corporate policies and bureaucracies that go around it.

Lucky some are starting to get a clue. More companies are looking and supporting Linux in a meaningful way. However the fact remains that Linux as it stands to day is a labor of LOVE by thousands of people who give their free time sweat and money to build it. Forgive us if we get a little pissy when someone asks a question like this when a simple Google search would come up with the answer.

In reference to the guy from above.

Search Google for "Ubuntu Move Windows"
THE FIRST HIT IS
"Move a Window Without Clicking the Titlebar in Ubuntu." READ IT, LEARN, APPLY.

We help those who are willing to help themselves. That is the cost of using free open source software. If you expect instant fixes to all your issues and someone to hand hold you through everything. By all means pay Microsoft for the privilege or pay one of the big Linux boys for the support.

Note I said "OR Taskbar button."

Uhh, Right click the title bar of the screen or the task bar button and select "Move".

Two clicks that most OS's (even windows IIRC) is hardly an obscure command.

Yes when you consider that a signal going over a WIRE goes JUST to you up until you get further up the stream. By that point the cables are upgraded to handle much more throughput and can, theoretically, be upgraded further or have more cables put in to handle additional traffic.

However the wireless radio is a finite resource and once you clog it up you can't just add more. Go too far up or down the spectrum and it simply isn't capable of transmitting the amount of data needed at the speed or range you need with the current technology. That's one of the reason for the whole DTV switch in the states. They need the radio-space currently being used by analog TV because with all the other things we use the airwaves for there simply is too much traffic in to little space.

All the more reason to make games that don't suck. People will be even more picky than usual.

The game industry is falling into the same traps the film and music industries are.

There are a few big name players that control 70+ % of the market share. They pump more and more money into marketing and development rather than actually making good games. They then raise the prices on a product that is inferior than what they used to put out.

When market forces retaliate in the form of people not buying their craptastic overpriced games they then resort to adding DRM that cripples the game and the rights of the users who PURCHASED and OWN the end product which further alienates their customers resulting in a downward spiral. By the way YES I said cripple the game. I have had to download a crack for a game before not because I did not own it but because the DRM make the game unplayable on my computer.

There's a reason I don't play many commercial games anymore. Myself, and people like me, are/were this industry's bread and butter. Piss us off and your industry collapses. That's why were the effing customers.

I'm sorry but if I purchase a game and then cannot give it to a friend or sell it when I am done then it is not mine. I don't care what kind of spin you have on it.

I would not mind "renting" a game if the price for doing so wasn't the same as "owning".

Also Steam lost my business a while a go when I purchased a copy of Team Fortress 2. According to their system requirements I should have been able to play the game. I wasn't. Their technical support sucks and I couldn't even get in touch with a human at the company to resolve the issue or get a refund. I ended up having to have the charges reversed on my card and they subsequently banned my account.

Sorry but if I'm giving you that kind of bank and you can't even be bothered to support your product in a reasonable manner then you deserve to die.

It will be a cold day in hell before I give them another red cent.

6) ???
7) PROFIT!!!!
Sorry, had to be said.
