They misspelled his name. With his level of computer knowledge his name should be spelled Anthony Digitali.

The government could get tax revenue from this idea if they can manage to convert the bag contents to beer instead. Could fund the whole Medicare system

My usual routine:

1.) Install updates
2.) Add additional repositories
3.) Run stored custom list of additional applications through aptitude (startupmanager, putty, openssh, git, chromium, opera, ...)
4.) Repeat "1.)" in case there are some weird dependencies (happened to me more than once)
5.) Visit gnome-look.org to give the new install its own personality
6.) Apply UI preferences (Compiz productivity options, terminal window colors, ...)

Since most of that stuff can be scripted anyway the default theme is merely a placeholder until that procedure is done.
So why should I even worry about something I won't see again until I set up another machine?

Sorry, Canonical but if I wanted my system to look and/or behave like OSX I'd simply "hackintosh" it.
I prefer your distribution simply because I like how it's set up under the hood and because Google usually spits out helpful results if a problem with an application or driver has to be solved.

Depends on the music, personal taste, etcetera. I love Beethoven's 9, most Mozart, CPE Bach, Bach's organ stuff, Vivaldi, Grieg, and am trying others. Nonetheless, some musicians are just *bad* to me: all atmosphere and no music; it sounds like a theme for a movie in the non-musical almost sound-effects like sense (Stravinsky, Bartok, etc.). On the other hand, Philip Glass, who I sincerely expected to hate (minimalist just sounded horrible) I loved the second I heard. Delving down through what you do and don't like to find more stuff you do and expand your horizons takes effort.

What you've done here is say "The car has a blown head gasket, a leaky radiator, and the steering wheel is loose, and therefore I don't like the way you adjust the seat."

Picking apart the update process, driver issues, and virus proliferation is pointless here. Offtopic.

(I run Ubuntu at home and work, by my choice. I agree with everything you've said, it's just totally inappropriate in this context.)

You care about the average Joe because he seemingly gets to decide which codec is hardware accelerated and which codec is used by major web sites. Even if you (or I) find his choice unacceptable.

a F1 blog (F1 Fanatic) actualy got press acrediation for testing at jurez, If a blogger wants a press pass why not Join the NUJ which is what I would do If I was working for a "newsy" site.

The usual keywords like "crack" "moderators" "on".

Re-arrange into a well know slashdot saying.

Ahh well obviously I showed my ignorance and jumped into a conversation half cocked. mea culpa

If they showed a video of Renee Fleming (or Anna Netrebko)singing Mozart opera, the yobs would have to be forcibly moved on by the police. She (Renee)is the most beautiful opera diva in the world. Go look in YouTube if you don't believe me. Mozart a punishment? - hardly. If these yobs are repelled by Mozart then I fear for the next generation of Brits. I live in Vienna Austria now - not 5 mins. walk away from where Wolferl Mozart wrote The Marriage of Figaro. Get a life you uneducated british generation.

What about the display?

Ok, I give. You're right, there is no one perfect hardware for everyone. About the display, the N1 has better contrast (OLED generally gives blacker blacks), 2x the resolution (pretty useful for web browsing), and lower power consumption.

Looking around, I found a recent technical performance comparison of the N1 and iPhone 3GS displays, which is quite critical of the N1. I have both phones and I don't perceive the flaws they find in the N1's display, but I know it's hard to see many of these flaws under normal use. To an iPhone user the resolution and contrast certainly pop out at you when you see the N1 display.

PaperBak anyone ? http://ollydbg.de/Paperbak/

It gives you this kind of prints:

I save my private GPG key on paper this way.

the whole system would be undermined.

Maybe it should be. Why should it be taxed at anything other than the sales tax rate?

Now I'll need to find a way of hooking up AdBlock to my electricity meter!
