@SimonSheehan: Doing it that way, one would first have to edit sources.list. It is also dist-upgrade not upgrade-dist. The recommended way of upgrading is by using do-release-upgrade or update-manager -d.
wondering if i can make rewire one from a dead laptop into a custom layout
it'll still be PS/2 only but i can live with that
basically standalone, left mouse button approximately where it is on thinkpads, right mouse button below that and middle mouse button approximately where the I is
I had my X200s stolen. Not sure if I have mentioned it to you. I really regret not getting around to installing Prey on the Guest account. It even had GPS. It would have been so satisfying getting the thief busted.
I'll go i5 I think. I doubt the i3 X220s will have the IPS screen option. I'm so glad they have better screen options now. It's long been the weak point of the ultracompact X models
Competitor(s) Prize
1st Place $10,000
2nd Place $2,000
3rd Place $1,000
4th—25th Place $100
And if you are in the Top 25 you got to fly there to compete against the other Top 25 contestants.
QR --Enough points--> R1 --Top 3000--> R2 --Top 500 --> R3 --Top 25--> Final
I usually drop out in the middle of R1, most times because I have a bad performing algorithm where even profiling doesn't help...
@slhck: Problem 2 was space traveling, you had to build boosters and use them. I was really timing the construction time and decreased it on each iteration.
It's much more simple and fast if you just turn those iterations into a formula which sums up towards the solution time instead of counting the booster stuff...
But I just went on with the iterations as I didn't see how to get to a formula.
So, apparently, boosters can only start after t_0 + time required to create booster.
A --3--> B --10--> C --4--> D --10--> E
The numbers on the arrows are distances. A booster only works till you reach one of the stars (letters).
So I came up with an algorithm to just pick the highest 3 numbers, and I would remember that I have to boost between B and C, C and D, D and E
If a booster takes 11, I can boost the end part of B.
So it's like A --no booster --> B --no booster+booster--> C --booster--> D --booster--> E
And I could simply figure out the split between B and C by checking when the boosters became ready...
Funny that it's quite an adrenaline rush when you are busy and then when it's done and look back how it should have been it all suddenly looks so easy. :P
Geralt got into a bit of fun with the Blue Stripes last night. After getting rip-roaringly drunk, the Witcher thought it might be good to see if it was possible to float across the river on the bums of four prostitutes. It wasn't. The Witcher woke without equipment and a new tattoo on his neck.

I'm a heavy OS X user, I like Ruby more than I do Python. Also, I'm a part-time musician and recording engineer.
I dropped my phone into some water, immediately removed battery soaked in rice(all i had at work). The phone dried, but the keyboard(G2) had some bad keys that have never correected, and there seems to be some kinda of residue on the screen, and the backlight is not uniform across the whole thing...
@MarkSzymanski Alcohol is a pretty good thing to use to be honest, not drinking alcohol that has all sorts of impurities and fuzz, proper isopropyl alcohol is an excellent water displacer and grease cleaner and evaporates much more readily than water would. An hour or two in a warm place after a dip in isopropyl would do the device no harm whatsoever.
Problem is, that the damage has already been done, turning it on with any water between contacts could have caused the damage they are seeing
isopropyl also may not be best around any rubber seals that they have in their mobile, has a habit of causing rubber to perish a bit... but the physical PCBs would have no problem
@slhck No worries, I work with electronics so have picked up a bit :)
the main reason to use isopropyl though would be to remove wierd residues from when the water dried out, if it was particularly salty (sea water) then you could end up with slightly conductive links where the water evaporated and left salt crystals between the pins on chips...
@studiohack You don't sound sure, are you actually having fun or not? ;)
thinking about it, is there any reason that question wasn't moved to electronics.se as it is basically about mobile phone pcb cleaning?
or does anyone know a mod there who could tell if it was on-topic?
