Q: why ubuntu is #1 linux?

paru38actually my office is going to buy bulk no of desktop pc's (for developmental purposes) . i encouraged them to buy pc without os and then install linux . My colleagues are agree with me but they are not a regular user of any linux based os so they want to choose a linux os which is best and user ...

I call this one
@GeorgeEdison remind me to tell you of a bug in the stackalert addon. It's minor, but still a bug (I gotta run).
Sure.
Just ping me on G+ or here in chat when you get a chance.
Might do it tonight before I sleep from my phone :P
05:45
I thought it was cool before I forked it (And removed jQuery) I think it's even cooler now!

A: why ubuntu is #1 linux?

William1. Linux is free. This is a huge factor. Linux is free to install. When an update comes along, it's free too. The majority of the software is free. Not having to pay for the OS and updates to the OS can be a huge long term cost savings for your buisness. When you buy a computer with Windows on ...

Wow!
That took a while.
especially on a netbook keyboard
night @all
06:44
Night all.

Hello all.
Hi!
Writing testimonial for @jrg now. :)
Will previous moderators remain moderator?
Why is that?
They are moderators for life.
07:08
What does that mean? "for life"
I'm not complaining, you know. My boyfriend is one of them! =)
"For life" as in until the demise of this site.
@Gigili I know @StefanoPalazzo is your BF. :)
And I can understand that you are plainly curious rather than complaining.
True.
@jokerdino Exactly my question. Thank you.
I had that link because I was curious about it last time.
And you are welcome. :)
07:16
Why the room is so empty and desolate?
Today is a weekday. They are probably doing work.
Usually, at this point of time, you don't see much activity in here.
Hey guys
@AmithKK Hi.. :o
I never know that @StefanoPalazzo Had a GF
Well, now you know.
07:19
@StefanoPalazzo Said no >.<
I figured that out before whenever @Gigili came in here, she was always looking for Stefano. ;))
@AmithKK I said no?!
@jokerdino Ah, like our ol' Roland-n-Explorer :D
Hmm yeah :D
"We were both young, When I first saw you..."
Haha
@AmithKK But, in this case, they are really related in RL.
07:22
@jokerdino Yeah
I am writing my nomination post now. >.<"
Good Morning Guys
Hey @Achu
@AmithKK That doesn't sound very encouraging. :/
It's raining really heavily here. :O
07:25
@jokerdino May you get a ♦
@AmithKK u not going to nominate yourself for moderators election?
@jokerdino @Achu Think I should?
LOL. thanks anyway.
@AmithKK Better than regretting later..
@AmithKK absolutely!! you are doing great here
you should nominate yourself
IIRC, one can only nominate themselves. :/
@nitstorm Apparently, you can vote thrice. With decreasing order of priority.
Actually I like the vote counting mechanism. Very impressive.
@nitstorm Ignore the previous comment. Just read up here - meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/77541/…
Now, I have to leave. I will be back in 2 hours time. :)

09:14
@jokerdino Thanks :)
Hello all
09:36
AskUbuntu is down
FUUUU
WHY WHY
I am back.
And nice one Amith.
10:12
Finished reading all the chat messages after I left yesterday.
@OctavianDamiean You have a part of my vote.
Thanks. :)
@OctavianDamiean Mine too
BBL
Last time, I was about to set up an account in SO so I could vote for you. But...
1. I didn't have 150 rep
2. You left the election. :(
:)
I'm not going to withdraw from this one.
That is great.

Q: Why is hiding GRUB menu too localized?

OxwiviAs per my brother's request, I want to hide the GRUB menu, on his dual-boot machine, only to have it appear when he presses some key. I Googled and found this question, and a few days later I noticed it was closed. Why? What makes hiding GRUB too localized? How is it a knowledge that will not be...

Just wanted to let you guys know.
I noted that.
Not exactly a false positive per se. Because it was actually abandoned.
And is it confirmed that we are getting 3 new moderators?
If it is really three, I would like to take a shot. o/
Yes, there are three open positions.
I'm not sure I would define it as abandoned. Some users just don't know what to do when their question doesn't get answered. As far as I can tell the question has quite a lot of information.
The user never returned to the site after asking that question. (Thought that might not really be the case as the user might have checked the site without logging in )
I am kinda contradicting myself. @.@
But, the point is it is classified as abandoned as not much activity has been taking place in the question.
And BBL after dinner.
10:46
That is true, there has not been activity for a while.
However we should not forget that the entire SE concept is not only about help only one user directly but also about helping other users indirectly in the future. Since apparently there is another user that would have the same question I think we should reopen it.
Can a moderator suspend my account without reason?
FWIW, If you ever see my account is suspended, I've done nothing wrong.
A moderator threatened me. =\
11:04
wow, already five candidates
"the candidates" - i'm having a LOST flashback :D
someone nominating themselves as a moderator, who's been on the site for less than a month?
it's allowed, so why not?
There's no age limitation?
michele bachmann tried to run for president, so everything's possible! :D
@htorque applying for what's essentially a community leadership position when you're new, is perhaps not the best use of time :)
but it's up to the voters to decide
11:10
of course, but who am i to tell people what to do with their spare time? :P
right
don't worry, I don't plan to stand for a moderator position :)
though it would be good to have someone cover that weird time zone "over there". :P
howdy folks
11:19
how goes things
Everyone is busy with organizing the election after party. :D
@Gigili Well technically speaking they can but that would be abuse.
If that is really the case you can always raise a question on Meta about that.
@Gigili being a Mod, generally that's not something we'd ever do
having said that, you can always get in touch with the community team - [email protected]
very helpful suggestions, Thank you @Sathya, @OctavianDamiean.
@OctavianDamiean I understand that SE is more for serving the bigger group of users, the anonymous users. And I have voted to reopen it.
11:35
Hello all
I am now in the second page of all time top users.
So, when do we get the next batch of Ask Ubuntu swag? :))
Sigh Do I have any chances of winning?
Crap, I forgot I needed to get 2k before this exam ends
and I see @Sathya wearing SU swag. >:
How do I package an application to submit to the MyApps portal? http://askubuntu.com/questions/100128/how-do-i-package-an-application-to-submit-to-the-myapps-portal #softwarecenter
Amith, have you met Sathya anywhere in Bangalore?
11:37
@jokerdino :D
@jokerdino Nope, I would like to :D
@jokerdino well, I shifted to B'lore only few months ago..
Is there anybody who would like me becoming a mod?
How am I supposed to answer that?
One of my friend's doesent apparently :D
jrg
jrg
11:42
So I wake up, check my inbox - 11 comments/chat messages. O_o
And nobody has dug up that skeleton in the closet yet. phew
2
> Haha, You? A moderator. You got only 1.3k . And that macro guy does not like you
jrg
jrg
@AmithKK ignore then.
Even though you only have 1K of rep, you help. A LOT.
@AmithKK what?!
And he spelt Marco wrong
@AmithKK If you have to ask that, you probably shouldn't be contesting
jrg
jrg
11:44
And Marco may not love you, but he doesn't hate you.
Now, He doesent want me to get 2k of curse
jrg
jrg
Sathya is right though - if you're running just for the sake of running…
Nope, Im running for the sake of the site
This is getting awkward..
</akward>
@jrg Wait What Skeleton
11:46
Let me finish my nomination post and we shall discuss this? :))
jrg
jrg
I'm going to reserve "judgement" (aka further comments) until I've read all the nominations. :)
that awkward moment when is awkward is incorrectly spelled as akward...
jrg
jrg
@Amithkk You know, that skeleton from last year… ;)
@jrg The cards have arrived. :DDDD
YAYAYAY
11:47
going through the nominations, a month in & already signing up for a mod?
lol, the network kinda timed out on me. :(
Wait, Drafts dont work anymore?
jrg
jrg
Yeah I saw that guy. Never seen him around the site before.
@jrg Your in Ohio right?
> I've joined askubuntu about a month ago, and after a few days became top user of the week.
11:54
"top user of the week." = top, new user, of the week
here's the thing - a top user (terms of rep) isn't necessarily the best mod
no one beats the mouse in rep
jrg
jrg
@amithkk yes I am.
(ps: I'm not an active member of this community, but I've been around SE & that's what my thoughts are based on)
@jrg Check out IRCCLOUD
Its gotten a whole lot better
11:56
@Sathya hey, im just correcting the op ;)
jrg
jrg
@amithkk not using it, xchat/irssi is a lot better.
But I'll take a look.
@BrunoPereira indeed, mine was a general disclaimer :)
@Sathya What's wrong with it? everyone shouldn't come to chat to make friends.
Finally my network connection is a bit saner now.
@jrg can we relook the localized question query?
where do you want to discuss?
jrg
jrg
11:59
@jokerdino what do you mean?
Saw the meta?
@jokerdino I'll join
@Gigili I think @Sathya is only pointing the fact that the OP is a user only for a month and has around 500 rep, he is free to nominate himself ofc but seems hopeless. I have been just a bit more time and I am not even sure if my nomination has any hope :S
jrg
jrg
On the cleanup post? (haven't checked meta today yet)

Q: Why is hiding GRUB menu too localized?

I Googled and found this question, and a few days later I noticed it was closed. Why? What makes hiding GRUB too localized? How is it a knowledge that will not be...

coz you are too lazy
12:02
@jokerdino the user asking that on meta is not the OP of the closed question...
Right.
jrg
jrg
Consider it reopened.
@BrunoPereira I don't know what you are trying to get that. I never said that he is the OP.
How much rep for close votes?
jrg
jrg
Ok, so out of ALLL those posts, we've now had 4 false positives.
@jokerdino is that too many?
12:03
@jokerdino who was to "you are too lazzy" for?
@BrunoPereira too lazy was supposed to be a 'tongue-in-cheek' comment. coz jrg didn't visit the meta yet.
@jokerdino pardon me my manners then
jrg
jrg
@amithkk 3K. @jokerdino hey, give me a break, it's only 7AM here. :p
@jrg i am not saying it is too many. don't get me wrong. i am just saying whether you mind we relooking the query..
Timezones
jrg
jrg
12:05
@jokerdino if you want to try and rebuild it, go ahead. I don't mind.
If the earth was flat, We could all enjoy this
if i sound annoying, that is because the network is timing out, making me mad. forgive me for that.
@jokerdino <3
@jokerdino <3 Its not your fault
@jrg err i don't know the query language. </3
12:10
@jokerdino SQL?
I guess?
jrg
jrg
Yeah it's SQL.
Thinks @jrg hates SQL
let the tensions cool down.
whee I work on SQL all day long
12:18
Uhh... Im irritated by this Chapter of Formulae
^ that one was making me mad. :(
and well, yeah i am now less mad, i will hope not to get so paranoid again. :D
i just thought we might add a page view as one of the factors in determining the abandoned ones. if there is public interest, it is best left untouched. what do you think?
2 hours ago, by jokerdino
The user never returned to the site after asking that question. (Thought that might not really be the case as the user might have checked the site without logging in )
and this one..
BBL. until either me or my network connection gets better.
jrg
jrg
12:36
Hmm wha????
Wow, that was a uber long testimonial. :O
jrg
jrg
Have you posted your nomination yet?
i'm not seeing it
I am yet to finish off mine. I was working on posting a testimonial on yours.
I saw that one earlier. As part of the bug triager squad. >:D
jrg
jrg
12:43
you must get a lot of email then
I only read that coz it had HUD written all over it.
@jrg 12 votes and counting
jrg
jrg
true.
however, those 12 votes and counting are uh... let we say a vocal minority?
Yes
You'll get 1k votes :D
jrg
jrg
pfft.
12:50
LIKE A ♦BOSS
jrg
jrg
@AmithKK it didn't matter...
@jrg Around tommorrow?
jrg
jrg

i was just giving you a hard time
tomorrow = wednesday, no.
@jrg :D
@jrg :(
k
jrg
jrg
@AmithKK Go ahead and purge those comments since they are no longer relevant to the nomination.
12:51
Anyways, Good luck to all of you :)
@jrg I cant
jrg
jrg
What, you withdrawing or something? thats what you sound like..
No, The X button on the comments is not working
