Maybe they should concentrate on fixing all the bugs 10.04 has had .Also , they have resources ,so why they do not add someone to Pulse audio and Sane projects . So far many scanners are not supported and i would really like it to be able just to be able to plug in my headphones and switch from speakers to headphones just listen to my tunes like in Windows instead messing with some asoundconf crap little file . Actually ,after almost 4 years with Linux ,i went back to Windows , until Linux and Ubuntu stabilize little bit and Pulse audio matures somewhat.

Posted by timothy on Monday January 04, 2010 @03:59AM from the not-just-register-their-displeasure dept.

He told journalists that a new Internet bill, proposed Tuesday, would require the registration and identification of all online publications and of each Web user, including visitors to Internet cafes. Web service providers would have to report this information to police, courts, and special services.'"

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday December 01, 2009 @07:49PM from the type-A-negative-personality dept.

trianglecat writes "The not-for-profit agency Canadian Blood Services has a section of their website based on the Japanese cultural belief of ketsueki-gata, which claims that a person's blood group determines or predicts their personality type. Disappointing for a self-proclaimed 'science-based' organization. The Ottawa Skeptics, based in the nation's capital, appear to be taking some action."

Maybe if touch could be used with remote gloves like in that movie Johnny Mnemonic so it is possible to sit /stand well away from display and still manipulate your desktop. With remotes like Wii has , that should not be far fetched .
