I've often heard it said that if you're logging in to a website - a bank, GMail, whatever - via HTTPS, that the information you transmit is safe from snooping by 3rd parties. I've always been a little confused as to how this could be possible.
Sure, I understand fairly well (I think) the idea o...
github will just give you the commands you need to run - and then you can make branches like a boss ("git branch my-experimental-feature-branch", "git checkout my-experimental-feature-branch", epic fail, "git checkout master" - this is what I usually do)
No, using Wubi or extended periods of time will not shorten the life span of your computer at all. However, there are many advantages to dual booting as opposed to using Wubi. For example, Wubi is slower then a dual booted Ubuntu install, and Wubi installs cannot suspend. Wubi installs are also m...
Don't uninstall Wubi - it will delete the virtual disk and completely remove your entire Ubuntu install. To safeguard this copy D:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk (and any other virtual disks) completely out of the D:\ubuntu directory.

First, run ifconfig wlan0 up. This will enable wireless. You won't get any feedback unless there's a problem. Next, run iwlist wlan0 scan to scan for nearby wireless networks. Once you have looked at the output and know which wireless network you want to connect to, run iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWO...
As a new Linux user I would like to learn more everyday. Would you recommend any website that gives tips for new Linux users on a daily basis, maybe by email?
If someone has time, this tag needs cleaning - askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/connection - connection is worthless. (if someone can't do it now, i'll get to it later today)
Shouldn't go to U&L, its a list question - lists are off-topic regardless of which site they are on.
@LuisAlvarado .... re gnome-classic... I tested just the gnome-session-fallback install a couple of days ago - it didnt install indicator-app-complete. It may just be a packaging issue... remember this is alpha so stuff is still fluid!

... it usually goes to community wiki if you edit more than 10 times in a given short period... the number of edits has been spread over a number of months so it hasnt automatically switched.
@jokerdino Surely the only answer to that is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADun-dun-dun-dunDun-dun-dun-dunBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA On a related note, I wish there was a foghorn play every time I figured something out. Not sure the neighbours would like it but that's what they're there for.
@nitstorm welcome to the United States of Stackexchange - the left is movies, the right is gaming and up ahead we have the city-states of Ask Ubuntu, Server Fault, Super User and Stack Overflow. Enjoy your stay.
Argh. I've never understood why people like The Dark Night. It's about a week too long because it messes around with silly little side-stories that make absolutely no difference to the plot. There are good bits in it but my lord, so much unneccessary paddy-guff between them.
According to my IMDB rating history here are some of my favourites that haven't been mentioned already: Tucker and Dale vs Evil BASEketball The Escapist Spirited Away V for Vendetta

It could be Ju-On (The Grudge) but it doesn't fit the 99-00 spot
I've seen a number of users with a PSI character in their names doing strange mysterious things on some Stack Exchange sites. What does it all mean?
