My first gut reaction was, "Why would anybody want to install Unity?" But I
realize that in a sense I'm trolling and to each his own preferences... De
gustibus non est disputandum...
Since I don't use Unity, I can't offer specific help, but let me make a
suggestion that hopefully will prove
I really don't have anything against Unity or its users. I simply am not one
of them. I'm sure if I used it for a couple of weeks, it'd grow on me. My
initial reaction to Gnome 3's shell was one of repulsion, but I ran it for a
month or two and almost came to like it -- or at least got used t
I was unaware of Mumble -- I'll have to check it out.
Meanwhile, another VoIP client in the repo is Ekiga. Used through Ekiga.net
it will only work with other Ekiga users, but it is also compatible with
other commercial VoIP providers. Using it with a commercial VoIP provider

I'm not an expert in hashing functions, but it's my understanding that an md5
function returning different values on the same data is just about always due
to a hardware malfunction. Thus Magic Banana is insistent on doing the tests
on your disk (and you were right to run a memory check).

It's the creator of the software (or, more precisely, the owner of the
copyright) that gets to enforce the license, not the users. And a copyright
license isn't automatically enforced; the owner of the "rights" has to sue
the infringer. Additionally, that rights-holder can't infringe his own
If I'm working without a GUI at all, then screen is an absolute necessity.
After screen comes:
Emacs for an editor
Alpine for mail
ELinks for web browsing
Something like ogg123 for music -- I'm not sure, since I haven't played music
from the command line for some time now. Also, some time ag
The hardware design probably should not have a warranty; that would just be
asking for trouble from anyone who tried to build it. If the designer
manufactures and sells the physical hardware as well, it would make sense for
him/her to warrant that the unmodified product will work as intended,
Elaborating on what root_vegetable has said, this may be a very desirable
purchase if one has the money, even if one has to bring one's own graphics

Soon, 3D printing may be similar to copying files, because the public will then
be able to print out physical objects.
Suddenly, patents (on physical objects) won't be an industrial regulation, they
will then be nearly as restictive as copyright became when computers were
available to the gener

What exactly is the legality of a free software video game with
copyrighted, proprietary characters? I am a brony, an adult fan of My
Little Pony: Friendship is Magic[1], so I would like to play games
featuring the characters of the series. Unfortunately, the characters
and universe are all proprie
There was a (non-free) game featuring MLP characters called Fighting
is Magic that got a cease and desist notice from Hasbro. They had to
"genericize" the game. It is called Mane6 now. That's something
frustrating about resolving to run only free software and be a fan of
a proprietary work. You can
I found a pony Minetest server, so I found at least one pony-related
thing I can do.
Thanks for your help!
I've done some research on misogyny in the Free Software/Open Source
communities, and have discovered that the user "chaosesqueteam" is a
known troll.

What's wrong with Wikipedia? It's assets are released under free licenses.

"I believe our current way of addressing the problem (down-voting the
posts until hidden and *not* answering) is good."
Why not just ban him, and any other users promoting misogyny,
pedophilia and murder? This vitriol could deter people from using the
forum, and it hijacks reasonable

That makes sense, now that you have explained it.

I don't understand why they think they can earn our trust by buying a
cake for Debian after nearly two decades of anticompetitive behavior.
The average person probably won't be targeted for this attack. I think you
would only need to worry about it if you are a whistleblower, political
activist, etc.

Sorry, I didn't mean to reply specifically to your message, quantumgravity. I
meant to reply to the whole list. (Either me or my e-mail program is kind of
wonky.)
