Also I'm designing and developing my own twitter client. Actually it's the perfect app of my dreams that does a lot of stuff that probably no one else needs. :P

I'll not care about twitter's thirdparty app guidelines since I just want something I like, I'll optionally add a different design while publishing to make it ok with twitter if I plan to distribute..
I need reading list management to be the primary job, with prefetching tweets while online and remembering my position, simple way to dig into tweets if I mark them as interesting, custom views for common sites I use, like the reddit link and discussion appearing split paned if I am interested in a tweet with reddit link, complete offline support, ability to tweet when offline and later pump to buffer/circular.io, sync-ability and optionally RSS feeds.
So it'll be like my reader plus twiitter client plus rss client which makes my workflow cooler than the hackish ways I use now.
@Mitch what evidence are you using for that? Wubi.exe does work for 13.04, it's just community supported instead of officially supported, according to the last time I spoke with the release team about Wubi
I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 on VMware. I am trying to login to root from my user account using su command but unable to login as Terminal is saying the following :
su: Authentication Failed
and Mitch your answer is probably correct for older ssd. the newer are probably a lot better and there is not so much need to change. Still I do not believe a downvote would be correct unless someone provided a comment on why so you could change it
I myself so not care about my ssd :D if it breaks I get me a new one.
@Mateo i'ld sooner operate from a drop window that jumps to a config window when clicked than mucking about with indicator/indicator whitelist/appindicator/kneeling before unity.
quicklist could work to support unity and the icon everywhere else. it would get questions from users that have both though about the incongruity of the two
when i get around to it, the app-indicator multi-platform abstraction class will probably be a one file snippet people can re-use as long as they only want basic menus. something like the three liner I posted earlier that detects environment and uses the appindicator library only if you're in unity, but provides one interface to do both... this way tray icons for pygi even work on windows with no additional effort.
my voting rules are if i use or would use an answer, i vote the q and a both up. otherwise i leave it alone. it's not the BEST rule, but its what I use.
and my stock db migration is still running. has been since friday morning. it needs gross optimizations by converting to raw sql or jsonifying so i can use a manage command to migrate it in
Guess the tag, Typically this tag refers to web browsers such as Firefox, Chromium or Opera. However, other types of browsers such as Nautilus or a network browser may use this tag as well.
i have no idea... the only thing i can think of there is unlocking the keyring on auto-login, which is an old question i answered a couple of years ago
@Braiam Nevermind.. I'm guessing it's selenium and it's the auto-post trolls.
@Mitch Read meta which trums phoronix or OMGUbuntu every time
@Mitch and "no", EOL is different than community-supported. That's why things that're in the Universe repositories are "community maintained" and not officially-maintained, but are all still on topic here. This answer on that meta thread is probably the most relevant.
specifically:
"Officially it is still supported - precise has 3 more years of support, and wubi has not yet been removed from any isos and is present to download for all releases and is present on all released .isos. (12.10, 13.04, 13.10 and 12.04.x point releases)"
@Mitch so if you want to argue, then it's on the ISOs but disabled by default, and "community maintained" like anything in Universe. I personally hate Wubi with a passion though
@Mitch so I'm quite annoyed they haven't pulled Wubi yet. But I don't have a say in the matter so just like me you have to accept Wubi still is "acceptable" on Ask Ubuntu until the release team actually pulls it completely, or until the dev team officially says "It's gone".
meh, wubi right now has no sense, with the w8 accelerated releases cycle, the boot/uefi as unstable as it's, you are going to spend 50GB of disk space on wubi?
program_exist=$( type "someprogram" | grep "not found" )
@Braiam once xp went EOL wubi should have been nuked. there's no reason to run a non-windows-8 box if you're going to run windows at all, and it's just silly to fight the uefi by default problems for wubi.
@ThomasW. I never said it was off-topic, but I was under the impression that it was gone after 12.04. Personally I don't like it. Well you learn something new everyday.
It's always like: yeah, let's install the newest driver to improve the user experience. Then it boots to command line (which indeed is a good experience).
I'm considering moving from bash to zsh as I often come across posts praising zsh. I'm an experienced command line user and I'm assuming the basics are pretty much the same, so I'm looking for advice to get the benefits of moving, and any gotchas to be aware of.
Please just give one bit of advic...
@Seth well since it's possibly soon election I thought Se would make it public in good time, like a month or so. So people can prepare them selves and so...
it sucks that there is no badge for 365 days consecutive..

My computer right now has 2 OS: Xubuntu and Windows 7. I wonder if I can have more operating systems? I want to install Backtrack.
