Have you seen the new GDM lock screen? What is that, if not a blatant rip-off of the lock screen of 'that which was formerly known as Metro'? Back to Cinnamon + LightDM for me. I never much liked GDM and this stupid lock screen is enough to send me running to LightDM.
Not directly, since the upgrade tool packaged is for Ubuntu, and well create a horrible mix of Ubuntu Quantal and Mint 13 if used (if it even worked at all). There are alternate instructions provided at http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2
Intel calls it NUC, for short, which is incredibly cute.
This CPU, with the incredibly catchy name Core i3-3217U,
(Emphasis mine) Huh? Are they being sarcastic or funny?
Forgot ME?
So I should cut off my arms and legs and use prosthetics just cause I need to use pliers every now and then?
In football (the association one), it's quite common to have animated GIFs of various match events, a poor man's highlights video. Often enough, these appear during the match itself, much before the videos do. So this is one case where someone might logically ask, "Has that goal been GIFed yet?"
The thing is, how can you be sure it's the artist's website and not something the MAFiAA have set up for them? A while back, on facebook, a site called GiveMeFootball went about setting up pages for various popular footballers and calling them 'official'. They are 'official', in that they are official GMF pages, but have no endorsement from the players themselves. Is something like this possible for MAFiAA with domains?
Because the parent newspaper being linked to, the Times of India has slowly become the equivalent of toilet paper.
Indeed. It could just as well be 'day follows night.'
This one, I think, can be explained by a post I once saw on The Daily WTF. I'm too lazy to look it up, but the WTF involved was that an employee averaged usages from previous time periods when some data was lost by an unreliable server (or something). In that case he rounded down, and it happened on two occasions, one over a day and another over a month.This might be a more extreme case.
Ah..Seems inconsistent with the names of the other devices (a 7" Nexus 7, 10.something" Nexus 10).
As recently as 2010 I had problems with my sound card (from a 2009 Dell Vostro laptop). The problems vanished with the arrival of Ubuntu 10.04, but ever since then power management has gone downhill, and fast. With 10.04, I could get as much or more time from the battery using Linux as with Windows. Not since then.
I consider myself a windows power user...
Seems to me a classic case of Dunning-Kruger effect.
No, this Windows thing is true of Samsung as well. When I recently visited Bangalore, I saw a billboard which said 'thank you' for their popularity. The ad didn't mention Android; it did show Android phones like S3 and Note II (with blank screens) and below the humongous Samsung logo, logos for Windows Phone and bada OS. No mention of Android at all. It's obvious these vendors' hands are tied when it comes to which platform gets better advertising.
Ubuntu 9.10, then the subsequent versions before some annoyance made me move to Linux Mint, while dabbling at Arch quite recently. I still think Ubuntu (I am back to using Ubuntu, except for trying Mint for a while when a new version is out) is better in the long run compared to Mint (upgrading being the chief problem), but Mint with VLC and stuff preinstalled is better for new users. At least then they won't be disappointed that not even simple mp3/avi files will play. But installing with an internet connection, something which I couldn't do until a month or so back, removes a lot of issues like drivers and Flash, etc.
