I think the idea is that it's an open invitation for your friends to come out and meet up with you. Then you can read Facebook on your phones together. Also, it isn't alerting thieves; you only have friends on Facebook. People you trust, right? Right?

Same reason they have the Bing/Yahoo toolbar installed.

People generally go to Ubuntu wanting it to be an ub3r 133t free version of Windows. When something is different they complain. It's the same reason people tend to dislike OSX. My only point was that if you want to use something like Windows; max/min buttons, one workspace, a goto start button, then, just use Windows. Meh,…

I think you've both mistaken me. I didn't claim that a floating window manager was 'stolen' from anyone. Or that that's even a problem. I just said that I think Windows is better at being Windows, the idea that a floating WM should have max/min buttons is only because Windows does it. Think about it, why should you ever…

I use workspaces religiously (Fluxbox). I want to try the new GNOME though, no one likes change for some reason. I think it's a good thing they're pushing changes; it's the only way we can improve. By the same logic, we've been using X11 for years therefore it's the best. It isn't. It mostly sucks because it wasn't written…

I wasn't justifying it, I was just pointing out that the OP missed them out. Your post makes it pretty clear that you're the one with the problem; jumping to the defence and all. Also, I was talking about missing out operating system included in the price. The Mac comes with one preinstalled + software (iLife) extras. The…

+ two decent web cameras + two ambient light sensors + two 179 degree viewing angle displays + operating system + amazing tech support I'm not justifying Apple's pricing, I still think they charge way too much, but you're missing a lot of things out so this isn't really a fair comparison.
-
Most modern smart phones have a quick charge period. My phone charges up to 80% in about an hour and a half, less than maybe. Then it takes a further 3 hours to go to 100%.

iPad 2 just came out. As far as I'm aware it's only real competitor is the Xoom. Which is like over £1000. If you have the money go for it, iOS is really nice and the browser is sweet. As much as I want to love Android, it's just not good enough yet. The only thing it offers is a minimal bump in "control" (whatever that…

RAM is more important that you think. Overclocking your CPU doesn't mean shit when everything it has to do needs access to your RAM. You're hello world might run 20% faster but anything bigger than your cache will need to get at your RAM. To illustrate: OC'ing your CPU and UC'ing your RAM is like putting a ferrari engine…
-
I tried it on my desktop when I was in an overclocking phase. In the end I gave up on all mobo tweaks. My motherboards is gimmicky and isn't really up to the job (ASUS Striker Extreme). It caused more hassle, more crashes and all I managed to do was shave off like 1 second from booting. My laptop doesn't really have much…

What sort of Trig to you do?

I whole heartedly recommend AGAINST IDE's for a beginner programmer. They make the whole experience a mess, teach bad practices (sloppy programming) and worst of all perform "magic". What do I mean by magic? Well "To compile this program click this and that then press f5, MAGIC!". IDE's are professional tools for people…
-
On when I'm in. Standby when I'm not at my desk. Off when I'm out/sleeping. Any outstanding tasks (backing up, video conversion) I will leave it on for but set it to shutdown once they're finished, if I'm leaving/sleeping. On a rare occasion I leave it switched on in case I need to log in from somewhere else. But I never…

The command button replaces most of the control button functions. They keyboard is great; you're just used to a cramped keyboard. The + button switches between developer chosen size and custom size i.e. you have two different sizes that you switch between with the plus key. You can have any two sizes you like. You use two…

I looked like a dead body decomposing when I viewed it from bottom to top. Then I realized it was a diy sex doll. I don't know which is worse... How much did it cost to make? Cheaper than a Real Doll I suppose? :p
-
That's pretty good, my laptop (5 years old) lasts about 1h30m and my girlfriends Mac lasts about 6h usually. 8h is awesome!
-
Dude, that's awesome! How did you manage to get one? Applying? I live in the UK so I wasn't able to even try! Amie, there is a hardware switch by the battery apparently that switches on the root user. If i'm honest I don't think it will work out, if I'm surfing on the couch I'd use a tablet (the iPad's browser is sex) and…

One might say that I've already... wait for it... reddit.

Ah I see, totally separating the accounts used for administration and normal uses means that the "normal use" account is a walled garden in which no one can do anything. Sudo allows the walls of this garden to be broken out of and is therefore a security concern. The correct usage of sudo is to only permit certain holes to…

Dude, TiSP.

Anyone think this will affect the Android market share? Verizon backed android pretty much because they never had the iPhone.
-
I know it's not "your" method. I have root enabled on my computer and, sometimes, when I'm feeling really adventurous, I log in. But it still adds no more security. Logging in from a console is just you being careful. The fact that you logged in on another tty is reason you are secure. Not that you don't use sudo. If I…
-
It stands for Substitute User Do. Doesn't really matter though... As far as disabling root user goes, I disagree with you. Your method adds unnecessary complication and provides ZERO extra security. All a hacker would have to do it log your root password and then all of a sudden he has full administrator rights. Because…
-
Oh don't get me wrong, root user has it's uses. It's perfect for 'plan B' installations were there isn't really a user system, just some file recovery/disk utility software. Permissions overview (the -l flag in ls): http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/images/access1.png

Cool. Be careful running applications as root; you shouldn't ever have to do it (this case was an exception) and if you do, you do it in a command line with sudo. A root user application shouldn't have a gui. Ever. Example: I logged in as root on my phone. Wanted to remove a lock on a database, so I typed:# rm /var Then…
-
Probably a permissions issue. Most things in /etc are for root writing only because configuration files like to live in there. Poke around /etc/X11 with ls -l. If you don't know what that means then man ls. (man uses the program less. You can search for things in less by pressing the / key and typing a search term. You…

It's just Ubuntu with a different window manager. It uses XFCE instead of Gnome. It's the same operating system.
-
It is, you just don't see it because of the whole marketing thing. My department in University pretty much solidly uses Linux and some of the lecturers use Macs. The machines all dual boot into Windows but if you boot into it then you'll probably be laughed at. Servers mostly use some form of unix variant (the number is…

Does no one else use shuffle?

They will get hot, plastics or internal components could melt/overheat. It's best not to do it but it's not too much of a problem...

But that's a a bit of a cop out don't you think? "Oh it was all a dream, so, so you can ignore all of the mistakes and continuity errors." "... and it was all a dream" is a technique I was explicitly told not to do in my 4th year of primary school. It's cheap.
-
What's the pay off? Also, why do women have to cover up? And why do men have to cover up? And why are friday prayers important? Why 5 then down to 3? That sounds awfully complicated. Awfully... human...

He didn't shapeshift it was in a dream. He mimicked the guy who he was impersonating enough so that Fischer thought it was him in the dream. It still never made much sense but I felt the film was like "This is beyond your comprehension, just go with it" which is what the college humour video highlighted. I think it's down…
-
Saw it today. It was good, I enjoyed it, but only because I am ignoring all of my little gripes. They're in the dream for 50 years, get old, and then kill themselves by train. But when they put their heads on the tracks, they're young again. "ZOMG YOU DON'T GETZOR IT, ITS A PROJECTION OF THEMSELVES" is the response I…

He looks eastern European. His nose is bigger than the rest of his face and it looks out of place. Having a skin head does nothing to complement it and only draws more attention to his worse features. A little bit more hair for some character. For example, the first picture has character, the second, looks like a thug with…

I always though it was the GFX card. The PS3 has a 6 core 3GHz monster inside it but, only the equivalent of two 7900's in GFX. Developers work with this and it gets better - which is why graphics on a console get better over time. With the PC you have a stupidly fast moving market when it comes to graphics cards and…
-
Games like Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted and Gran Turismo are better on console. Games like Oblivion, Fallout, Starcraft and Left4dead are better on PC. It mostly comes down to user input - the controllers need to be different for different types of games. So, if we are just concerning games and nothing else, the PC is…

Tots. I know it's tot-see, but fuck you.

Guest passes came in the box. What's your ID? I'm BaconPie.

Damn, that guy almost died!

Yeah, that's what I thought. Looked fun as hell though!

Build orders and speed. Bronze to Gold league are pretty much about just being faster than the other players.
-
Just wait until you get online!
-
Wired because they're cheaper and apparently have better response times. Never used a wireless for any extended period of time so I can't really comment. Also, batteries; when we get real wireless power then I'll be interested.

lol, there should be an apple in that pig's mouth.

You can use a two button mouse. (It's two finger click on a touchpad) I did. He did. These guys did. It is overpriced and it is nice to buy your own hardware, but don't go around saying the OS is like shaving with a bowling ball when it manages to make something as powerful as Linux into something easy to use. Don't get me…

I have a Big Boss rating: "Beat the game on the highest difficulty with no deaths, no alerts, no kills, no recovery items, no stealth suit, no bandanna items, in under 5 hours." Yeah, I like to show it off. :)

Let's burn. :)
