@mojo706 So it was said it isn't ad driven. It should be. Not putting ads in lenses, but a way to get something google-esque with an ad framework integrated in to the app framework. Say I want to make a cool app for u-touch and not get paid for it. Ad funding should be an option. Maybe it still is, but ad is a hot-word so they left it alone and said it's not a thing. Just saying... A framework should be in place. It isn't. This is a way to get there from here.
@JorgeCastro We aren't talking dash. I was talking what if the initial foray in to amazon submissions turned in to something like the google framework and got customizable from dash. Evidently the framework is mostly already written and it would take less to make a "here's a relevant in-app ad than ever" thing.
the problem with installing edge on bare metal is that i have to take an old laptop and put it on gpu intense os to do it. school is over for me, but work still is a thing for the time being.
@hbdgaf heh. Even if they are better, which I disagree on, I've been able to pick up other things with books (my preferred method). There are no QML books, and very few Qt books.
@hbdgaf MS had all their docs finished by the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and at least 3 books already published. 1 year later look how many books are out amazon.com/s/…
if you read enough msdn posts you see that there are hidden arguments, reserved data blobs, undeclared flags, or undocumented apis. entire rootkit books are written on undocumented apis.
The main point is: Windows 8 has been out 1 year (we'll say 2 for the previews): over 10 books already. Qt has been out since when? 2005 and they only have 4 books (maybe 5)
And sure, MS gets more media attention, but 4 books in 8 years is not good.
you fail at web searches if you only get 8 books. i get ten pages. qt5 specific -- it's still in beta or recently adopted. qml, it's one revision old ad people don't get it yet. qt is here to stay, from a gtk guy.
i made an argument. i'm not saying it's invalid...it's just an argument that can be easily debunked. now i'm calling you a troll because you called me out. end of discussion.
by order i mean suggest from a person i might respect. i don't mean post an image from a person who might have trolled with a stallman post that already had a rebuttal from sabdfl
I have Windows 8 Release Customer Preview on my laptop. I tried to install Ubuntu on it with Ubuntu Windows installer (I have always used this to install, although that was on Windows 7), it installs and asks to reboot, then immediately Windows 8 boots up.
I do not have the option to choose what...
It's still a relatively uncommon thing for someone to want to do, though. And we only have one question tagged with it so far. Unless there are a whole bunch of other USB blocking questions that are not duplicates, I don't see why we'd need the tag.
I have a file called ~/.speedswapper which contains the following:

remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keysym Escape = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Escape
add Lock = Caps_Lock

i mean, when you can say "here's my trusted keyfile. make my personal kernel work" with a button.
@fossfreedom understand completely. i just turned it off and booted a regular instance. it's not like there isn't a universally trusted key floating around anyway. just saying that efi could be a win if there were a way to say only trust my personal keys.
yeah agreed. This hard-coding meant the only way to boot into ubuntu was having to press F9 all the time at startup otherwise win8 always started. Try teaching my 11 year-old to do that - it will never happen.
if you could add your keys to the global key store and auto-sign things it wouldn't be an issue though would it? and you would have edge kernels booting on your desktop with no keypress?
no - there was nothing wrong with the ubuntu key - the hp laptop was ok to boot into ubuntu from F9 - just you couldnt get grub to be the default boot loader.
had to find the windows efi filename - back-it up, replace with ubuntu efi, create a grub entry to boot the backup efi to enable grub to recognise windows again. What a faff.
taffer. just turn it off. it doesn't protect anything anyway since the keys are compromised now anyway. <-- no disrespect intended. it was a joke at the system, not at you
i more meant that if we could do more with private key-stores that as a person, i could say only trust my personal build. assuming i'm using all open source drivers and build a monolithic kernel it seems like i should be able to sign everything myself.
i didn't but a woefully broken intel video card laptop for no reason. nvidia and ati both provide better performance, so i was skeptical. i was still hoping though.
A client requested I touch up their logo, but all they could provide was a business card with the logo on it. As such, I had it open in Photoshop when the client asked for status update. I took a screenshot of the logo on a transparent background (which appears as a gray and white checkered pattern) before I sent it the client’s way.
CLIENT: This is great! I love the background.
ME: That background’s transparent.
CLIENT: Checkered, transparent, whatever - I like it!

I have two machines running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with Samba installed. I have access to myshared folder as expected.
However, when setting in R the path smb://mymachine1/mysharedfolder to read a file it does't find the directory.
