Skype used to work well - and yes multiarch was and is on.
Then Skype would run but always fail to connect to the server.
I am not the only one with this problem.

Did you pull an updated Skype release from another repository?

It would be great to use Skype again, but alas it ceased working on my 12.04 box.
I was a paying customer (i.e. Skype out) until Microsoft decided that it would no longer support me.

Puns don't kill people, comedians with puns kill people.

Best way to disable a camera drone?

If I see a drone outside my second story window, I'd like to take it out.
Water gun?
Frequency jam?
Simple pellet gun?

These have been around for years.
Police departments can buy one from:

Obesity, Smoking, Exercise, Genetics, Diet

Diet is only one small part of the problem
Genetics - well you're stuck with them - your children are stuck with yours
Smoking is hard to quit for some
Exercise - well nobody like to exercise
Obesity - on the rise - due to sugar, salt, and fat in boxed foods - who cooks from scratch?

My rant is over

Each day I wake up further supports my theory that I'll live forever.

While driving about a dozen years ago, I thought: "Wow, I'm thinking."
Then I thought: "Wow, I'm thinking the thought: "Wow, I'm thinking.""
Then I thought: "Wow, I'm thinking the thought: "Wow, I'm thinking the thought: "Wow, I'm thinking."""
Fortunately I didn't crash.
However, I couldn't get to the next level without my mind drifting elsewhere.

... with which the hills are alive.

There is no loophole here.
Imagine buying a truck to use in a business. The cost of the truck can be written off against earnings over a number of years instead of all at once. The accounting principle here is to spread the cost of the asset over its useful life.

Goodwill is also an asset that can be written off over a number of years. It's an intangible asset with a more ambiguous useful life. The mechanism for writing it off over 15 years instead of, say, 40 years may be questionable. Government policy to attract investment may have led to the 15-year period.

So long as Ballmer is forced to follow the government's rules and he spreads the cost over many years, I see no problem..

Everybody should know the proper plural of Apple 1 is Apples 1 and not Apple 1's.

If Google had scripted

everytime a device were plugged in, I suppose people would be complaining about how everyone had access to their files.

I remember watching blue people in flash videos.
At the time, I blamed NVIDIA / vdpau.
However it was really Adobe Flash crossing red and blue that caused me to see smurfs everywhere.

I was about to post the same thing - but name the business as well - Unicomp

It's a good choice, especially if you want a foreign Moldel-M keyboard.

You could pay about $100 per year to use Skype to call their telephone whenever you want.
Alternatives to Skype exist.
Calling cards are possible (I've had success buying from Nobelcom.com).

You wouldn't be able to attach any photos, but they're not fun with dial up anyway.
You would have to call your parents when you are all awake, but calls are more personable than email.
