If I leave clothes in the drier and you take them out you have to fold them... so there, I have more clothes than you do. You have to do all the laundry. Hah! <o.O no

Someone thinks that statement is rational.

To be sure, if I made turnabout fair play it would stop being rational.

wat.

You seriously require a reference for what is just a single integer that isn't even processed, PHP? What the actual fuck?

Nevermind.

Hi guys, just a friendly tip. When you see a comment from a moderator that is not helpful or is simply a thank you note, even if the comment is from a moderator, please flag it. I intentionally left several for the past 5 days under other thank you comments and no one flagged any of them. So if you see wrong comments from me just flag it. Am not going to kill you while you sleep and will thank you for correcting me (But later I WILL kill you while you sleep. Got my pew pew gun ready).

Q: Tips to extend battery life for laptops and notebooks

It is possible to greatly extend the usage time of a laptop or netbook running on battery by disabling various services and installing various packages. What tricks or tips do people have for getting an extra hour or two out of their batteries. Perhaps one tip per answer.

@Qasim less bold, otherwise fine to me.

what about now ?

@JenniferWilson I'm aware. PHP just has this habit of using the same param name for different purposes ... $count in particular is just awful in that regard.

Q: Ubuntu One post-installation bug

I'd posted a question regarding this error message that i get after installing Ubuntu One. the question was closed and it was suggested that i file a bug report. I checked online and someone has already posted this bug on Launchpad's site. So, what's my next option? And is there anyway i can help...

I think we can migrate this to main and rephrase it as a "How to use Launchpad?" Q. Long story short: If the bug is already filed, there's a number of ways to follow, extend, support and otherwise handle Launchpad bugs. You will, however, have to wait for either a workaround or a bug fix for your problem to be solved. — FEichinger 42 secs ago

@FEichinger I think it should just get closed hard. If bugs are bugs and OT, then "I checked and the bug is filed" == "Good follow the bug-tracker"

FEichinger

@CallmeV Yeh, but this isn't "I have a bug." it's "How do I use Launchpad for my bug?"

Call me V

The way I read it was "I have an Ubuntu-one bug".

FEichinger

@CallmeV No, that's the original Q they asked.

The meta Q is about "What do I do now, it's already filed?"

Which, in essence, is a "how to use launchpad" Q

Amith KK

that's supposed to be 2mbps

Call me V

@FEichinger If that's the case I think it needs to be reworded almost completely to make it highly obvious and generic so it's the canonical "how do i subscribe to a bug mail" etc and not related to any particular bug directly. Maybe the answer uses the bug in the OPs question as an example, but you see where I'm going

@CallmeV Yeh, but you also see where I'm going with it ;)

I do.

quick question. business case for site scraping engines for sale. a do-able business or not so much? (they're relatively quick to put together, but organizing the data once you get it is the tedious part) worthwhile model or not so much?

it would be like a "why you no have an api? here's an api" type of thing

FEichinger

I doubt that it's useful for the customer, so there's that.
