The past two weeks there have been at least one and usually two or more Microsoft related articles. This is even more annoying than the drivel posted by the NY Times.

For Ubuntu it's been figured out for years. I use Google Voice, play music, do audio in multiple accounts, it all just works.

What was your CPU time? I run GKrellM so I notice when something starts hogging the CPU, the animation did play just fine, should it take 90% CPU time to run an animation on modern hardware? That was the point of my post. That CPU usage cos

I tried Prime, found on my first order (as a Prime user) of several small items that none qualified for free shipping so I guess they weren't in the "15 Million items" category, yet those were the ones I needed. So I canceled

That reminds me, on Ubuntu you can install powertop and run it "sudo powertop". It's a handy tool to be sure.

FYI, on Ubuntu 12.04 using Google Chrome, the Vimeo player kept going black after starting the video, I had to keep making small movements with the mouse to keep the video showing. It's almost like a div is made black and floated over

What would be nice is some kind of simple Git that consolidates some of the multiple command sets that I have to use to do things that are just one command with SVN. Also I miss the deterministic nature of SVN Revert, when I run that in SVN

Usually the .04 release is LTS every two years, if they change that it will be a bit confusing, hope they don' do that.

I've been with GoDaddy for years. People who blame them for their SOPA stance need to remember there was a lot of support in Congress for SOPA. Was it the best Bill? Nah, that doesn't mean GoDaddy's reputation should be torn
