I want to see if it's possible to get it to work with Gajim. It uses OAuth afaik, and Empathy will be getting support for it by about GNOME 3.4, but I'm really not a big Empathy fan, so I'd prefer to see support added to Gajim or something similar.
MSN (Windows Live!) was built from IRC (IIRC), and then because it's own thing, Jabber/XMPP is basically XML messaging, and um... the other stuff... too much to list :)
And no, aMSN surely does not :)
I don't even know if aMSN is still being developed at all :D
After finishing my dark sidebar Ambiance mod, my life with Ubuntu is now almost perfect...should I overwrite my unneeded 11.04 partition with the 12.04 daily build now?
I'm just wondering if that's a good idea though, because I always hear about the vague "don't install alpha/pre-alpha on bare hardware" warning but I feel a virtual machine just wouldn't do it justice.
I think running 11.10 from Beta 1 got me a bit addicted, lol.
I'll still be running it side-by-side with 11.10 on here whenever I want to get something serious done, of course.
I actually found testing and reporting bugs to be quite fun. Eventually I'd also like to be able to submit some fixes, but only time and my skills will tell.
Also, someone should remind me to join Google Plus and follow Ask Ubuntu after the former removes their real name restriction. I guess it's not too hard for someone who's determined to figure out who I actually am, but still...
Read about this on Slashdot earlier (my apologies if someone already talked about this)...did anyone know that the Linux kernel itself has codenames, too?
@wisemonkey Did you ever have any problems with GRUB getting messed up from doing that? That's one potential concern I have with dual-booting with 12.04.
I guess Linus decides the names...it says they come from the kernel's git repo.
I actually prefer a lot of the names on the list to what Mr. Shuttleworth would probably pick for Ubuntu..."Jeff Thinks I Should Change This, But To What?"
@wisemonkey So if the installer asks, do you think I should install 12.04's version of GRUB, or keep what's on my machine and just run the usual update-grub afterwards?
@RolandTaylor I already have Google Docs, Gmail, YouTube...they're everywhere. They know who I am already. I'd say they were out to get me, except they probably already would have.
@WarriorIng64: Better solution: If u r planning to just see how new version of OS is use it casually (some browsing listening to music chatting filing bugs etc) put it on USB stick, I had one external HDD setup few days back
I tried LiveUSB sessions of Mint and elementary OS out before. I didn't care for Mint, but I liked how speedy elementary was. I think I'd rather wait for the much-hyped Luna release before installing it, though.
I use a combination of Google Docs/Xournal/pencil and paper to take notes, but I still get recordings of everything in case I miss something I want to revisit later
Then of course, any paper notes I take also get scanned in on my desktop and put into my complex folder hierarchy
And just think: everything I do for school pretty much is because once I ran into a problem I later solved by adding onto what I already did. It's insane but it works. :)
Sidenote: I need to remember that CTRL+C doesn't copy text from a terminal.

I think I see what happened. I used CONCATENATE() in Excel to put together the lines in oui.h from IEEE's oui.txt, but apparently some of the lines in the TXT file contain characters that you don't want to drop willy-nilly in a .h file.
The OUI list is compiled into the Netdiscover binary, so you'll have to recompile it to update the list.
The list itself is stored in src/oui.h in the Netdiscover source tree. It should be pretty easy to add new entries -- just make sure you keep the { NULL, NULL } at the end of the list, becau...
Odd... no onebox?
Anyway, I tried implementing that and ran into a couple problems: 1.) Quotation marks in oui.h where they don't belong. 2.) Buffer overflow when running netdiscover, after fixing 1. and re-compiling.
The really annoying bit is there's over 15,000 lines in oui.h to check for bugs and I've only got half a clue what I'm doing.
I did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10 recently. Every so often, Grab Handles will appear on the active window. Sometimes they simply disappear after a few seconds without causing me any problems.
Other times, the mouse appears already grabbing the window (like when you grab the center handle) a...
Haha...maybe I'm just weird like this, but I just had the mental image of Billy Mays yelling out Ask Ubuntu answers in a commercial, then using an indoor voice for the fine text/disclaimer at the end. It's kinda like that.
I just got curious, and looked at his twoanswers' revision histories. It somehow gets even weirder; apparently one of the answers was a near-perfect duplicate of the other one...?
I visit Memebase and see all sorts of strange stuff posted on there, but I feel it's safe to say this tops all of that easily.
I am now using ubuntu 11.10 but I would like to download ubuntu 9.10 for testing purposes (Compiz experimental plugins). My bandwith is very slow, so I am using a download manager that will support downloading files from multiple sources (Downthemall Firefox extension). The problem is, I can only...
Apparently this guy is still at it for trying to get his experimental Compiz plugins working...I noticed Roland was involved in answering many of his questions.
