It's amazing, the best tool for recovering reiserfs is made for windows!

UFS Explorer just saved me, I was able to make an image of the failed drive, on my other pc with windows xp, I installed UFS Explorer. Then opened the image file that was shared on ubuntu over the network.

UFS Explorer scanned for the superblock and displayed all the folders I needed with the filenames intact and everything on that drive.I was then able to right click on each of them and copy it to a spare drive on the windows pc. It was so easy I now regret wasting so much time on those command line tools where you have to read several man pages just to get started.

I even asked for help on ubuntuforums, no luck. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=932922

Can't watch the Olympics on Linux!!!

Went to nbcolympics.com to watch my favorite events on the olympics and it wouldn't let me, so finally had to grab my laptop and see what the requirements were.

I knew I had flash properly configured on my LinuxMint pc but it required something else!!! Microsoft Silverlight!

Damn, what a fine way to muscle your way into people's computers, "wanna watch it online gotta install our fucking Silverlight".

Songbird Folder Watch Ghost Feature!!!

Features | Songbirdnest.com

Set Music Watch Folders
Tell Songbird to watch a folder for new music and it will automatically add new tracks to your collection

Fuck songbird!!! How do you set folder watch when it is nowhere to be found in any of your options!!! And yet it is listed as one of your fucking features!!! I'm still on a quest to find a media monkey clone in linux or at least something better than shitty amarok or that rhythm box where is always declares my mapped share drive missing and has to rescan all my stuff every freakin time.

Songbird is promising indeed, but no FOLDER WATCH!!!

EDIT: Apparently I got into an old page when looking for information about songbird, anyway google "songbird folder watch" and I think that is the first one on the list and it is also from their website. http://www.songbirdnest.com/features, you guys might want to edit that page or put something like "available on final version".

I just like to say that I love the feature that you can download songs through skreemr and that is works almost flawlessly on Linux Mint. It just looks too much like iTunes, personally I think the iTunes interface sucks, if you're looking for inspiration and features please please please look at Media Monkey!

Foxconn deliberately sabotaging their BIOS to destroy Linux ACPI

Foxconn deliberately sabotaging their BIOS to destroy Linux ACPI - Ubuntu Forums

Why linux has a hard time becoming mainstream, fucking companies like Foxonn sucking microdicks cock!!! I've glad to have never chosen any product from them, and I'd like all SG members to know, for those who use linux, never to buy from this fucking company. They are now on digg, slashdot and reddit. Hope they like the internet mob.

CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50

Automatically mounting and unmounting Samba/Windows shares with CIFS - Lone Wolves - Web, game, and open source development

Finally a solution to this annoying shutdown problem, if Ubuntu is to become mainstream this kind of kinks in the system should be ironed out, before they start thinking of another stinking new version!!!

Compiz Fusion » Welcome

Compiz Fusion is the result of a merge between the well-known Beryl composite window manager and Compiz Extras, a community set of improvements to the Compiz composite window manager. Compiz Fusion aims to provide an easy and fun-to-use windowed environment, allowing use of the graphics hardware to render each individual window and the entire screen, to provide some impressive effects, speed and usefulness. The first Compiz Fusion developer release was Compiz Fusion 0.5.2 on August 13th 2007, shortly after Compiz 0.5.2 was released.

I just find it funny that Linux and its many variants are focusing so much on bling rather than actually much needed user function. I've used Ubuntu and Redhat for our servers at work, I even use it for my webserver at home. But one thing that really annoys me is the lack of webcam support and the fact that almost 90% of the time all this bling doesn't even work!

Vista at least performed well on my ATI All-in-wonder 9600 but Ubuntu fucking crapped out!!!! They say its the driver blame it on ATI blah blah, interestingly I tried Sabayon and on the fucking livecd it actually had the uber spinning desktop cube, but after I installed and it, the damn thing said something about direct rendering etc. fuck fuck fuck!!! What the fuck is wrong with this fuck, I spent like my entire evening trying to get this fuck working and nothing!

Linux ready for desktop, yeah probably by the time we send a guy to saturn or something.
