I upgraded from 9.04, and I have a software RAID10 setup. A bug in dmraid (admittedly, not directly Ubuntu's fault) causes it to recognize mdadm software RAID partitions, and choke when it can't assemble them. The fix for me requires the removal of dmraid, and the manual assembly/mounting of my software raid from the the initial RAM disk (Busybox).

I almost bought a Mac mini last weekend--after 12 years of being 100% linux.

...you should be able to get a virus from wine is at church.

I've had a kindle 2 since it came out, and it's great for any book that is read front to back. A couple of my books are referential -- like a copy of the Bible -- and it's a nightmare to use. The device is too slow to jump between pages, even with TOC links and search functions.

I've also read that the Kindle DX keyboard is next to useless.

probably because his neck is on the line, and he's trying to save face with management. Oops.

...an insect repellent.

And my sister! And our daughter!

I have two flights with the same travel time and cost to pick from, and I'll pick the one least likely to be delayed.

A good emotional game should evoke the feelings. The protagonist should be a rotund, past-her-prime female who recounts her tales of being swept off her feet by two English gentlement, one of whom deserves her, and the other being the object of her affections. A side quest to collect the most flowers could only add to such a game.

I've been at the NIH for two years, and they've banned all of these sites ever since I've been here. I was told that it was to prevent the wasting of tax payer money, but security concerns are an equally good justification. This really isn't a big deal. Corporations must do this too. Nothing more.

I know sports games are popular, but MMOs require a lot of time and devotion. If you care enough about a sport to play it with others online and devote months or years of your life playing it, why not pick up a ball a play the real thing outside, with friends?

Splunk! It would be a swoosh, but the original joke wasn't that great to begin with.

I listen to ormgas radio and select tracks from ocremix while I work, and I love what they're doing. The music brings back memories. Keep up the great work!

that part.

let me know when you figure out how to do this on a Kindle without remaining offline indefinitely. That's the point.

I was quite surprised when an automatic update for a copy of the Stand (Stephen King) was pushed onto me, without my consent and without notification as to what had changed. Backup copies aren't hard to make. But who owns the copy? Does Amazon own my Kindle? Do I not have a right to refuse an update?
