@Zingd if you're still struggling with "SPAM" it's a not tasty meat with an exceedingly long shelf life typically eaten by the poor or during hard times (like during world war 2) when shelf life and cheap were more important than tasty. You get a lot of it in one can if you're just the one person eating it. Just a couple of details to add on there.

@AbrahamVanHelpsing So this spam would be something like a cheap meat or dehydrated meat. Thanks for this explanation. I got very curious about this word, because I just started reading the Python Tutorial, and this word is used a lot of times during the explanations.
 
AbrahamVanHelpsing
AbrahamVanHelpsing
Heh. It doesn't mean anything in the python tutorials. It's just a random noun.
It could be caboose or chair for all it matters.

I am genuinely curious as to where you found such a confusing use of spam and python.
Ah, nvm ... It's one of those inside-jokes in python tutorials ...
What's wrong with Foobar, for god's sake? >.<
 
Seth

It has to do with the naming choice of the language.. The guy who invented named it after "Monty Python and the holy grail"..

@Seth I know about that. I just find the use of a Spam sketch reference a little over-the-top.

I kinda wondered that you didn't know... ;)
@FEichinger Probably is... But it's mighty refreshing to hear "Ni, Knights, spam, eggs" instead of "foo, foobar, etc"

Q: Has the "First Post" Review section broken?

DoogfarI have seen the "First Post" review section grown from the normal 1-3 posts to a whopping 430+ and the reviews are like two days old? Is this a bug or do they do a massive release of "Re-Reviews" occasionally? Sorry I tagged it as discussion as I saw nothing else that fitted.

@Rinzwind I have seen that. Mark Shuttleworth had proposed providing newer version of softwares only for LTS releases. He didn't say anything about it for interim releases. So, we still wouldn't get newer version of softwares in interim releases (13.04 once it gets released).

@JenniferWilson that answer i provided is valid for 12.04 and earlier. from 12.10 onwards, they switched from gconf to gsettings. So, it needs to be updated accounting that change. And no, it is not really a bug. If you want to discuss and/or verify my possible solution, ping me again when both of us are around.

A: command line for hiding and unhiding unity panel

jokerdinoFor 12.10 As Rinzwind mentioned in the comments, Ubuntu has migrated its settings from gconf to gsettings. The commands in the question you linked is valid for 12.04 and earlier, but not for 12.10 onwards. The updated commands for hiding the Unity launcher would be: gsettings set org.compiz.un...

Q: Multimonitor in login screen vs. lock screen

ruda.almeidaI have a multiple monitor setup with two screens on Ubuntu 12.04. The login screen uses dual monitor mode, but the lock screen (CTRL + ALT + L) uses only a single monitor and disables the other. Is there a way to change that?

@LuisAlvarado Thx for posting that. But I recommend editing it. People are not creating repositories on dropbox. My understanding (from using dropbox personally) is that it is not possible to do this, because URL's of files on dropbox have random strings of letters as part of them (to prevent unauthorized people from accessing them). Consequently files in someone's personal dropbox space cannot have URL's named properly to be recognized as part of an APT software repository.
The only APT software repository that is hosted on dropbox.com is the repository for the dropbox software itself.

Unicode input
Unicode input is the insertion of a specific Unicode character on a computer by a user. Unicode characters can be inserted in three ways: from the screen by means of an applet from which one can select the character, by pasting from the clipboard or by certain key sequence on the keyboard. Many systems provide support for Unicode input in some form. A Unicode input system should provide a large repertoire of characters, ideally, all valid Unicode code points. This is different from a keyboard layout which defines keys and their combinations only for a limited number of characters approp...
