ok, np, already using it to post images from there. do you know if that will be fixed?
that is a major bummer, if the users start using pesky image hosting sites that disable the images according to the amount of traffic askubuntu will have a lot of red crosses soon!
@brunopereira81 Because Update Manager bitches at them that there's a new release.
@htorque (that's not the case anymore - new firefox versions are considered security updates now - so you'll get new major versions even if you stick with an older Ubuntu)
I was on camp staff for 4 weeks. I taught the wilderness survival badge. As part of that, we had a outpost every week where we had a can of spam, an orange and a raw egg, and we had to build a shelter, fire etc.
So that was one of the times I had to have spam.
The other time of the week was Tuesday night, when we had this horrible Salisbury steak, so we just had the leftover spam from the week before instead. :P
Because everybody knows spam is one of the easiest things to find out the in wild. You can barely move for the spam trees. Some states classify them as weeds and locals are allowed to shoot at them. In Mexico they have an annual "Running of the Spam" where a guy dresses up in an oversized- Spam can and children chase him.
Pretty sure he had a box of crackers in his bag or something, we (the under 18 staff) never saw him actually eat spam.
If I had half a silver badge for every bronze badge I have, and then half a gold badge for every silver badge I'd then have, I'd have almost all the gold badges. :D
Look for Disk Utility on you dash

It's not just you. There's a thread I keep seeing that has four or five different how-tos and half the page is taken up with silly "this is how you click a mouse"-level screenshots. I think with something as basic as finding an application - you have to assume a certain level capability if you can't assume that, that information should be normalised out to another Question that deals specifically with "How do I click my mouse in Ubuntu?" and link to it.
@brunopereira81 But even then you're only giving them half the answer. You either need to step them through every part (click the Ubuntu icon, type in the search box).. In that latest answer you just say "Look for Disk Utility on you dash" and a screenshot of that accomplished - which doesn't really help anybody.
Made worse by the debranding of applications meaning that (as your commentor says) Disk Utility is not the real name of the application. If you want everybody to be in the same place you need to get people to type palimpsest

@Oli I agree with what the guy said on the comment, its true and obvious that typing will be faster and skips the translation issues but some users really want a step by step guide, i can supply that in English (done), I will not change to another language to supply screenshots with translate images... :S we have to be reasonable no? Both my native and current coutry languages are not English, if I ask something I wont be demanding that you solve it in my language!
with jorge and ajmitch you got one rock star canonical employee and two ubuntu members on your side - what could possibly go wrong (except them running out of time :P)
@marco they typically just ask a few question, first making sure your contributions are sustained and substantial, then they dig a bit deeper into your specific contributions and ask about your plans for the future, and then they vote
but there might really be too many people on the list, they might ask you to put yourself up again next month
@LuisAlvarado Excellent (I didn't know if that would work). For the games thread could you make sure your answers are more than a name and a link? A short description and/or a small screenshot would make the whole thread a lot more useful for people deciding which games are worth trying.
well, static analysis tools are never really "reliable", but they can give you excellent feedback, and they protect you from making certain kinds of mistakes. PyChecker is great, but I don't think you need it
it's a lot of complexity, and it destroys the simple run-edit-run debugging cycle. you're better off starting to do test-driven development
that is, if you want to write a certain function, first write a test-function that checks all kinds of inputs for the right outputs, and then modify your function until the test is successful
you can either use basic things such as the "assert" keyword, or dig into python unittesting facilities

broadcom - specifically questions having to do with BCM4311 need de duping.
