Yeah, I'd like to bring it out in the open; I'm just not sure how to phrase the thread so that it results in constructive dialogue rather than petty bickering. I guess I need to just suck it up and start it anyway--by not doing so, the conversation is spilling over into other threads (like this...

Oh, ria, please don't stop posting altogether. Obviously if it's causing you anxiety then you might consider posting less or changing when/where/how you post. However, I've read enough of your posts to know that you're an absolute sweetheart, and any "trouble" that you think you're in is...

^ 'Cause the case would get thrown out in less time than it takes me to write this post? There are more than enough double-standards in the world; no need to go inventing others.

Hmm. Well, I would guess that the Hardware Drivers installer, being a bit of GNOME fluff, wouldn't give you any useful error messages, but did Envy by any chance? If so, please post. Hey, don't thank me yet! :lol: I managed to get the Nvidia drivers installed on both Ubuntu Dapper and the...

Think, then post. In that order!

Needs more info! Did you try using Ubuntu's built-in tool to enable the binary driver? (If not, why not?!) What was the result? Please note that you'll need to remove Envy and any files it installed before using that method. Did you try searching the Ubuntu forums for this problem? (It's...

Operation Kidnap Lindley's Roommate and Make Him/Her Live with Me is a go. :p I have two roommates. One I get along with great, no problems. The other is a nice woman, really, but is on the messy end of things. The kitchen and the living room are just constantly a mess to varying degrees...

Why do we have a thread advertising the alpha release of software? Besides the fact that it's not really newsworthy, I think suggesting new users try the alpha is a terrible way to introduce them to software. If I download Opera 10 Alpha and have the same problems that AG did, I'll think...

Actually, that's incorrect. As Eric noted: So, please, "two thousand eight" or "twenty-oh-eight", don't put an "and". :) (For the record, I use the latter. Except for the years divisible by 100, breaking years up into two numbers works great--why stop?)

"Irregardless", Philo? I expected better from you. :( :p

Jadzia, I'm very impressed by all the good suggestions you have. You are so kind! The only addition I would have is that when you copy the files back to your computer, archeryguy, just run a hash function comparing the new and old files rather than listening to them all in Winamp--it should be...

Wow, I had no idea Acer was so well-regarded. My only experience with Acer is my roommate's laptop, which is complete and utter crap. I realise that that is just one data point, and that you're undoubtedly right about Acers being more reliable, but it's still a little hard for me to believe...

I'm a "tech person" with a SanDisk player, so I should know--but I don't. :( It sounds like a problem you'd have with a hard drive player, not a flash one like the Connect is. Rather puzzling. Is it still under warranty? Also, I understand your hesitation to reset the player, but it should...

That picture is the epitome of cute. You both look quite serene. That hair is ridiculous! I'm normally a fan of long hair, but I think the shorter look suits you better. Still, that picture of you and your sis is pretty hilarious! :lol: Very true, you do look great, ria--the lighting in...

Wow, from your lens refraction I expected it to be worse. (I'm -7.5, but I don't think my lenses are as bad as yours--I've got the expensive kind, though, and they're smaller than yours as well.) No kidding. Looking very good, Yoshi! For some reason, your smile reminds me of...

It's not too difficult. I live in a small town (70,000ish population), so my bike gets me where I need to be. My roommate has a car which she'd let me borrow in an emergency. And if one of my friends isn't going to the nearest large city when I need to, there's a shuttle bus that's not too...

"Green Eyed Monster" is an episode of both Farscape and Veronica Mars.

I'd agree with most of what Clegg is saying. CENTOS is not technically a fork of RHEL; rather, Red Hat releases the sources for RHEL, which the CENTOS people then compile (without the Red Hat branding). CENTOS aims to be binary-compatible with RHEL, so if you want RHEL's good reputation and...

If you're using Linux (with GNOME), right-click on the Clock, select Adjust Date & Time, enter the root password (or, in some distros, your password), and at the Configuration box select from the drop-down menu 'Keep synchronised with internet servers'. (Note: this requires ntpd, which is...

Thanks. I think I've been outdone by OZ though. :lol:
