i haven't tried it myself, but i read that some people are quite successful, others aren't. i imagine many are successful, as a major portion of end-user os testing happens in virtual enviroments
@GeorgeEdison i've been looking for a regex tool that works offline for a WHILE now, and the tool you recommended in this question matches exactly what I needed:
By far, the best tool for the job is RegExr.
The link above will take you to the online version, which is awesome and definitely the best RegEx tool I've ever used.
If you're looking for something you can install in Ubuntu, then try the desktop version, which is an Adobe Air application:
I have about 7000 or so files I'm trying to copy to a USB flash drive. The total size is about 8GB.
After copying about 10% of the files, the drive mysteriously aborts the transfer and unmounts itself.
Results of dmesg | tail:

If you don't need the files in windows, try reformatting the drive to a linux native format. Reiserfs was well known to be good for collections of large numbers of small files. Or you could use the ext4 standard... It may be less picky about how many files are in a directory.
Insert the drive,...
I don't thing zombie process is much of a headache. A zombie process does not take up any resources. It is just that it has it's entry in the process table.
A Zombie process is not an orphan process, it does have a parent.
kill, skill pkill will not work since the process is already killed, jus...
@OctavianDamiean Is the windows logo same or different?
on the link that you gave @OctavianDamiean
@Takkat yeah, I know what you mean :) I am actually forgetting how to troubleshoot Windows, which is not a good thing. I cant help out the pretty girls in my neighbourhood ;)
@KaustubhP well you have to keep in mind one thing. Nothing in this world is black or white, especially if it looks like it'd be. It always is multiple shades of grey.
and I tell you why every social theory and also why morality does not work. It is because as soon as a human being is supposed to apply it, it will fail
@djeikyb well of course it works for the person interpreting and applying it it works it is just a question of whether his interpretation is right or not and that is a question which can't be answered because it involves the judgement of another person, which might interpret it differently

I think I will try to get this closed. I edited the question details to avoid further argument or w/e. I believe SE is the wrong environment for a site of this sort. How can I delete my own proposal?
my opinion is that SE sites are not really the appropriate medium for anything which is not practical. Things that lead to discussions are better suited in a forum or maybe on a blog.
a Q/A site is there to get an answer on a question, which stackexchange successfully managed to extend to some sort of practical information gathering system like well like a wiki.
@RolandTaylor Yeah, I find the whole concept of people who are high-rep in some area are taken to be authorities on everything else, strange and counter-productive.
in a nutshell - that is my problem with science these days
it's gone from observation>documentation>okay_this_is_how_it_works_but_we_might_be_wrong_later - to take_my_theory_and_swallow_it_and_don't_ever_ask_me_if_it's_possibly_wrong!!!!
@Oli and @MarcoCeppi I will likely update/edit the Firefox 4 question later today to be basically near final for tomorrow, it seems to be getting all the traffic anyway so I figured it would be easier to update it than to make a new one.
I think in some cases, the grasp of English is so tenuous that they just can't process it all, so they ask anyway. fair enough, but then the questions are usually difficult to comprehend as well.

Hi,
I have a USB 3.0 external hard disk which I am unable to mount. The entry appears in the "lsusb" command, but I do not exactly understand how to mount it.
This is the output for my lsusb command. "ASMedia Technology Inc." is the USB 3.0 device. I would appreciate some help in mounting and a...
@RolandTaylor then you might check that question, it seems he's using a USB 3.0 expansion card in his system to get 3.0 capabilities, but then can't get a USB 3.0 hard drive to have recognized partitions when using an actual USB 3.0 port :/
I have a Western Digital My Book 3.0 - 1 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive, and I wanted to know if it would work on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
jeez sometimes I really hate reading the comments on OMG! Ubuntu!, actually skip that on any blog post or article ... maybe I should get rid of them with AdBlock
