Please list one DE / shell per post with:

The last release was Natty Narwhal (Letter N) for the 11.04. Then it was Oneiric Ocelot (Letter O) for the 11.10. This time, the newest one will be Precise Pangolin (Letter P) for the 12.04.
At this pace, what will happen when Ubuntu gets to Z. Will it start with numbers (007 Edition), will it s...
I have recently built an single-page ASP.NET MVC 3 with a JS/jQuery UI (on top of the view's HTML), the general idea of the Javascript work is below. I am encountering issues with GC not properly freeing memory and leaving a large number of elements (24,000 for the biggest form, 15-20k, and 1k de...
I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu 11.10, and although I've disabled the lock screen options and checked the power settings, my display turns off after around ten minutes. That wouldn't be so bad, except it does it when I'm watching movies and TV shows. Is that a bug, or is there some way tha...
@JorgeCastro - I think I see why the login thing didn't work in that question that was edited. He was using gdm not lightdm. So the 'standard' answer didn't work for him b/c gdm plays a sound too. So, two different sounds we're talking about.

can anyone see any obvious improvements to this MySQL Query?

A better question might be 'how does ubuntu determine if i'm using a laptop or a desktop'. then maybe you could trick it into thinking it's a laptop if it supports all those power management options...just a thought
@jokerdino - what no accomplishment for compiling ffmpeg latest from source with all options enabled?
yeah, what Marco said. Moderators aren't allowed to say anything about things like that. In other words, since you shared on G+ and here, its your fault. shuts up
@jrg I can't do DNS, and apache serves pages really slowly. We changed domain controllers recently, and actually all I want to do is remove kerberos and samba
@Incognito - yeah...ancient versions of vbox are bad for you. I use latest binary installer and it seems to work fine. On a funny note, they used a sheep as the new clonehd icon
@Incognito You're not running on degraded RAID, are you? A client of mine was running on degraded RAID5 for a couple of months before they bothered find out why their mail server was running so slow.
