I basically agree with you, but note that Popularity Contest is an opt-in service that I suspect many people don't notice unless they know to go looking for it. This would have the effect of skewing the statistics towards those who know what it is and how to enable it. -- "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want to change the world?" - Steve Jobs to PepsiCo's John Sculley, 1984 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

f-spot and the tags, will it get messy
Hi all, lately I was playing with fspot and a couple of pictures from two or tree events. I started tagging the pictures. People > Family > Brother People > Family > Sister People > Friends ... Places > AUstralia > ...Uluru Places > Germany > ... Events > holiday 1 Events > holiday 2 other > ugly people other > cows and so on for 160 photos I created around 20 tags... Then I thought about my other more than 1 photos and all the tags they will need. Of course I know that the tags will grow slower by time but even now all my tags wont fit onto one screen height. So what is your experience with tags, with many of them? How do you guys organise/structure you tas? any thoughts? which struckture is not good, hard to scale Cheers, seb -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
another Lenovo 3000 N200 problem
I have the same model that installed without a problem except that both Windows Vista and Ubuntu no longer recognise my DVD-rom. Lenovo suggested taking it back to the factory default settings which gave me back my dvd-rom but again on installing Ubuntu it is lost. I have taken it back to the factory default again (Vista) Anyone with any ideas on this one.
