Ubuntu has accessibility software that uses the webcam instead of a mouse...
I put that "Lenses from Icons" on brainstorm and blueprints. I just think it's going to get tedious to cycle through multiple lenses or memorize a bunch of keyboard shortcuts if the Dash is going to work.
/rant - to any Diablo 2 players remaining... Does it not annoy you that 'tab' turns on and off your minimap and 'alt' is item name identification.. if i'm going from item name ident to map toggle (battles / pickups) I always alt+tab away from the game

Easter eggs in Ubuntu vs. Easter eggs in Ubuntu – Spot the difference!
The second one has a shortened url; I find this downright rude.
What are your views on the usage of masked shortened-urls?
Is it wrong to edit such content and replace the shortened url with the original one?
@jrg ok so I seriously want to start some Ubuntu specific development and I think a good starting point (as it holds interest to me) is something like these... techdrivein.com/2010/02/…

basically under windows my programming knowledge never really had to expand past c# and the .net framework.
I want to write applications for Ubuntu. I do not know much about programming but I want develop for Ubuntu. I am trying to learn Python right now. What do you think is the best way to develop apps for Ubuntu? Can you point me to some resources that can help me get started with developing for Ubu...
I haven't played with it extensively, but my understanding is its a project quickstarter that has a GUI designer (glade) and a few other related things for you
taken from the stand that I was a c# developer working solely with VS and .NET what would be the best starting point for me (something that would be similar enough that I would be comfortable with it)
What role(s) do(es) JavaScript play in Linux? Where and how can I execute it and for what purpose. For example: Windows does not have a JS parser so outside of the browser (and node, other implementations of v8, ect..) it does nothing.
ok well I just found out one of my answers... screenlets.
I installed HUD via these two steps:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-team/hud
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I tested it, but now I have problems entering Applications Menus, e.g. by Pressing Alt+E for Edit Menu.
So I want to uninstall and so I removed the ppa from...
I will start off by saying - my issue is very odd... and I really have no idea where to start searching. <- Wth are those 3 points making in the middle of the sentence???
And wht kind of person formats everything with <br /> but all the "I"'s are writen "i" >> /angry face
ok, so now that i have implemented my own shitty version of MVC arch in PHP, does anyone have a solid framework that implements the same design pattern that also encompases things like breadcrumbs and other handy little things that are always a pain to re-invent
if not you might want to post a screenshot of how it looks on windows :) those are two fonts that ship with Ubuntu (and any other Linux, possibly Android), called FreeSans and FreeSerif (i.e just put "font-family: FreeSerif, Raja;")
Note, this involved adding a third-party PPA - proceed with caution.
More on the dangers of PPAs here.
First, make sure we're both experiencing the same problem. Run the following in a terminal:

Also, I hated with a passion the fact they didn't use the PR screenshot package I put together for people like them when I was working on that project which is now to be never mentioned. :P
@viyyer if that's what you mean: this is a setting you can change in ubuntu. One is without hinting (windows) and it has more contrast, the other (Linux) has lower contrast but more accurate shapes and kerning. I bet you can change it in windows as well, but the default settings are different.
