Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.
Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.
Steps to repeat:
1. Visit a local PC store.
What happens:
2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed.
3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.
What should happen:
1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu.
2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all.
3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.

Good, We still get Bug Resolution in the chat
You know what I hate. When it dawns on you that you're fat. It's like the worst feeling in the world

@MarcoCeppi How to deal with rude comments? Not on mine! :) If someone makes a condescending comment on a fairly good answer by a guy who's eager to contribute.
@iamsid If you're not sure - just flag it. Moderators will remove if it's offensive, or comment to say "Stop it!"
@lazyPower Well in it's simplest form it's just a hashing function that stores the unique hash as a primary key. We do something like that in a few applications I've written. Like ShortURLs and such
@lazyPower Barring the fact that I don't have any .NET or ASP knowledge: Could you take the result set and pass it as an assoc array - or as a pseudo-object?
I have recently killed xserver on my machine after a regular update. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
nvidia-current
with no success. Looks I have reinstall xserver. How do i achieve this?
Please and thank you.
@groovehunter I've edited your answer here, assuming you were quoting and that you and Srigelsford aren't the same person. If I've made a mistake, you can click on "edited x minutes ago" and select "rollback" to undo my changes.
$ print --help
Use: /usr/bin/print <--action=VAL> [--debug] [MIME-TYPE:[ENCODING:]]FILE [...]
Options:
action specify what action to do on these files (default=view)
debug be verbose about what's going on
nopager ignore any "copiousoutput" directives and never use a "pager"
norun just print but don't execute the command (useful with --debug)
Mime-Type:
any standard mime type designation in the form <class>/<subtype> -- if
not specified, it will be determined from the filename extension
This function uses the mc5p or mc4 and mc5 capabilities, if they are
present, to ship given data to a printer attached to the terminal.
Note that the mcprint code has no way to do flow control with the
printer or to know how much buffering it has. Your application is
responsible for keeping the rate of writes to the printer below its
continuous throughput rate (typically about half of its nominal cps
rating). Dot-matrix printers and 6-page-per-minute lasers can
typically handle 80cps, so a good conservative rule of thumb is to
sleep for a second after shipping each 80-character line.

@KaustubhP You shouldn't take offense (I know I used to) when people disappear from chat. I typically found it's because "real life" has stolen them away :P

@StefanoPalazzo It's either Compiz or Metacity - never both?
@MarcoCeppi lol, good point! nah, i want taking offence :P you have any good places from where to learn shell programming? I need to pragram using some parameters that need to be passed to the script.
as far as I can tell, this thing is going to become a real monster of a diagram when I'm finished (I never know where to stop elaborating, it could be infinitely big)
@KaustubhP Really, I usually never just "read" books - I typically just Google things. You'll want to use getops to get parameters. So I'd start there - and when I need to look stuff up I usually use tldp.org/LDP/abs/html
@StefanoPalazzo Doesn't, and believe me when I say - I HAVE NO IDEA, but doesn't the DE talk directly to xorg which would then do the talk to compiz and return the data from compiz to the DE?
So the DE which would be an xclient speaks to the xserver which then talks to the compositor I'd remove the arrow from Gnome to Compiz and put two way arrows between x.org and Gnome
Well, it'll likely be some time - but the Wayland approach makes sense. X server existed in a time when 3D meant you turned around from the computer screen to play Atari, it's old, like real old and has held it's own but eventually you just need to clear the slate and start from the beginning in a new ear
So building the compositor into the display server cuts off a lot of overhead in a world where the majority of modern PCs support compositing
In many error messages and conversations, I come across words in all CAPITAL letters. As demonstrated in the examples below:
ERROR: Please type your e-mail address.
Or
ME: I can't make it
SHE: I HATE you.
ME: I'm soo sorry.
What is the typical meaning or reason for these all CAPITAL w...
Yeah, so you can imagine I'm just going to let this guy get it.
So far:
You don't see all capital words in dictionaries because it's not spellings it's a punctuation/grammatical format. All caps typically denotes two things: Empasis or Yelling. Either case works for this case - It's not meant to be
"Good day user, there seems to be an error. Be a sport and type in your e-mail address"
But rather
"HEY, USER! (yelling) THERE'S A PROBLEM! ATTENTION! ERROR. Type in your email address please"
As soon as I get confirmation I'll post the link then let it fly
ALL CAPS ON THE INTERNET IS OFTEN A MISTAKE OF OLDER OR LESS EXPERIENCED COMPUTER USERS WHO USE CAPSLOCK AND FORGET THAT IT IS ENABLED.
GENERALLY, WHEN IT IS NOT A MISTAKE, IT DENOTES SHOUTING, EMPHASIS, IMPORTANCE, OR URGENCY.
IT CAN ALSO BE USED IN SCENARIOS WHERE CLEAR TEXT IS REQUIRED - THO...
I guess this should be a simple thing for ubuntu users out there. I have two questions.
Whenever I need to run some command that requires permission from root, I run as sudo followed by that command. It would be nice if that does not prompt for password (but I should still be issuing a sudo to ...
