Users will be able to join, though they will not be able to speak. However, if they have a profile on any other SE site and then link them they'll insta-get 101 rep.
It's also pretty easy to get rep via editing and giving one good answer

Could someone please shed some light on how to fix this? I have tried adding the "experi...
I have a terminal command I run from an application launcher. This works great, however sometimes the command fails, so I'd like for the terminal to stay open so I can see the results. How can I do this?
We blacklisted Geforce Go 7300/7400 because of some freezes at startup with the "nvidia-current" driver.
It seems that unity 3D can run with the "nvidia 173" driver with those card. However, you will get some slowness, you are warned!

How do i do this?
@Oli You should be able to get it with an uploaded <?php phpinfo(); ?> phpinfo file. Just execute from the web and it should report the version of Apache running (as well as the configuration of PHP on the server)

I just downloaded the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso, and am having a hard time burning it, so I'd like to check that the file is intact, but I cannot find the md5sum of the file.

MD5 & SHA-1/SHA-256 hashes are available on http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ if you scroll down to the list of files. Downloads & hashes for previous supported releases are also available on releases.ubuntu.com
@GeorgeEdison Usually not. People get riled up when companies submit reviews about their own stuff on Amazon, so I'd assume the same applied on the software centre (just on a smaller scale)
Can somebody try editing my post here so the first sentence says "Yeah for most free graphics drivers, recent releases of Ubuntu haven't required a xorg.conf file."
