anyway, UI is pretty interesting to argue about :-) I remember when OS X was still fairly young... so many mac fanatics arguing about the Dock. Then there would be the NeXT diehard that would say, they ruined the NeXT Dock!
interesting... at first glance, a nice clean design :-)
I wonder if arguing there is like arguing at the bottom of the ocean where nobody can hear you.
Whenever I read some long discussion thread from Mozilla or Chromium developers, I want to stab myself in the eye, because they seem to often not care about the user experience.
Since I upgraded from Ubuntu server 11.10 to 12.04, the following errors appear in the Apache logs:
[Thu May 17 10:24:10 2012] [notice] child pid 8057 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
And the related process is:

I don't think that's their position. I think wanting a toggle-box for every possible behaviour is a little over the top. For example, I did the unity lens toggling simple gui thing. If someone says, "I should be able to disable particular scopes" my answer will be "No. It's on, or it's off".
Re the Thunderbird thing, "Some other e-mail clients don't format outgoing e-mails in accordance with the standard. When replying in plain text, quotes may appear as a single line per paragraph (see this forum thread). Use Edit -> Rewrap to restore wrapping for those quotes." from kb.mozillazine.org/Plain_text_e-mail_(Thunderbird)
Thunderbird devs have insisted for years now (5+?) that the user should not be able to set an option to automatically rewrap.
Yeah I could set up my own thing, but I basically decided I'm not going to support an app whose developers don't care about my needs. So I stopped using Thunderbird.
When you make free software something that comes along with that is the ability to take a stance on naughty software/plug-ins. I'm confident that may be the why.
It often seems to come down to that, or something related. Basically someone will propose a solution and everyone else will shoot it down because it's not fully consistent or complete.
In the Chromium version of that Firefox bug report, someone pointed out that Firefox for Mac does not have this issue.
So one of the Mac Gecko people explained it was because they wanted to preserve UI consistency. So guess what another dev says?
He says that since that's not a solution they implemented on the other platforms, the Firefox devs should reverse the fix for Mac. So make Firefox for Mac as broken (from the user standpoint) as on the other platforms!
Is there any way to understand who or at least why a downvote was awarded?
Because in 2 cases that I got a downvote, the answer seemed perfectly fine and also had upvotes from other users.
The only thing being that they were simpler ways to go around the stuff instead of a sophisticated way fro...
I really understand that down voting should not be as easy as voting up over a good question/answer but the loss of rep associated with it makes it really something to avoid by a lot of users. I am still learning how to vote up, vote down but more important of all learning to add a proper comment...
if he gets an okay from the ref, he can leave the field and is no longer part of the game until he can return (again, needs an okay from the ref - cannot just join).
I've written an application using Python and Glade. The app has got a toolbar with a dark background, and each toolbar button has got a custom image (i.e. no stock icons are used).
I've noticed that when using stock icons instead of custom images as icons, whenever the mouse hovers over the butt...
Any master packaging people around? Trying to find out if there's a way to generate a pop-up on installation of a package. Like you still need winetrick X
true enough. what i was looking at isn't that it needs winetricks, but that it needs a specific winetrick(i see no package mappings for specific winetricks, so it's a postinst not a dependency)
I use Ubuntu on VMware to learn how to use Linux. I used rm on some folders and mistakenly deleted some files from /etc. I have some very important files on it. Is there a way to retrieve that files, for example using Knoppix? If yes, how I can do it?
I have this inside my internal network, and I solved it by disabling dnsmasq.
To do that, you need to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and comment the “dns=dnsmasq” line.
Open a terminal, and run
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Then, make sure that the line

The one thing I like is it lets you donate to an organization of your choice.
I always wanted to donate but I don't have the money or the means.
@jorge askubuntu.com/a/138460/25798 can you check if this answer is a-ok? I don't know dpm's standard nor his intentions in asking this question. I am assuming he is looking to build documentation about Quickly somewhere.
I probably might have made some factual errors as well. :'(
I have an Ubuntu Server with 200MB RAM and 400MB swap space that has no heavy load. I used top to verify its load. However, it's very slow and takes several seconds to execute a ls command or other similar light commands. Can anyone suggest what the problem may be?
Downvotes are a means to tell the OP that his post is useful to the community in specific and to Internet in general. If you scroll your mouse over the downvote option you can see the overlay text This answer is not useful. That should already give you a rough idea on why your answer was downvote...
@jrg: Person responding to the bug is talking about the dnsmasq stuff as well
"Nothing of the behavior for this should have changed in the last few releases with your configuration. We now explicitly install dnsmasq as a local resolver spawned by NM to facilitate handling DNS information when used with VPNs, and it does appear to work properly on my systems.
However, you're not using dnsmasq (missing dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf) and have interfaces configured in /etc/network/interfaces.
Please try to reproduce the issue and include debugging logs (but make sure to clean them up first, as they may contain usernames, passwords, and other se…

Type this in terminal
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
This will install most needed 32 bit libraries and hopefully you will be able to run the file.
