That probably just means the 'hibernate' option was removed from the dialogs. You should still be able to invoke it from the power management tools via a terminal. I'm not on ubuntu but does this still work: 'pmi action hibernate'

Considering that he wasn't getting restful sleep, wouldn't it be best to give him the CPAP and tell him to change his lifestyle? If I was in his situation and the doc told me that he would not give me a CPAP and that I needed to eat bette

Unity has some usability issues, too. I haven't used it regularly since 11.04 but I much prefer Gnome 3's new interface. (Which, on the other hand, many people also hate...)

We get 17 seconds into your new startup pitch when I ask you if you're technical and you say yes. A bunch of startup marketing mumbo-jumbo later and you tell me you're looking for a coder to help you. WTF?! You said you were technical?

I know that Teller isn't opposed to the commercialization of his magic since that's how he makes his living. The problem is he invests a ton of time, money, sweat, and tears into creating these tricks. Then this other magician packages it u

Bakardy sells a kit—including a fake rose, instructions, and a DVD—for about $3,000. Teller had Bakardy's video removed with a DMCA takedown notice, then called Bakardy to demand that the magician stop using his routine. Teller offered t

I don't think the lesson is "being right is what matters" (working hard is praiseworthy, even if the results aren't always great), but this encourages students to work carefully and list out their steps instead of trying to do everyhing in

Open-source and free software communites for the most part are still going to be distrustful of Microsoft (and their spin-offs) as long as the company continues to extract patent licensing fees from companies that make use of Linux.

As long as Firefox's code heritage can be traced back to code released by Netscape under GPL (or Apache), Firefox will be fine. Regardless the license, aren't they still vulnerable to claims of patent violation?

I suppose it's only a matter of time until they do something obnoxious with these patents. Who will be their first target: Firefox or Chrome?

I realized that I didn't want to look at the diff any more. I just wanted to see the full body of the affected method before and after my changes. Oh, and I also wanted to see whether I added new tests or changed existing ones. Well the

For example: I’m in Firefox and I want to go the extensions page. I hit Alt (to open up the HUD) and type add. That seems contrived. Will it work if you start typing out "extension"?

How is this fair? Why does it need to be fair? This isn't grade school... (For the record, I don't think this article is unfair but I don't see why that would matter.) Doesn't it qualify as "sexism"? No... How would this be sexism (disc

In a previous post about Rust on HN one of the Mozilla devs claimed that Rust was a result of headaches they've had building Firefox. The language isn't to be used in Firefox, but to (eventually, some day) to be used in whatever supersedes

This works great in Firefox 11. It doesn't work in Chrome 18 which has WebGL disabled (on Linux). I am also using Firefox on Linux and was actually suprised this worked. I assumed WebGL was still disabled by default for us.

When you need one of the two, run them in a separate (updated) browser in a separate guest account (fast user switching ftw). Yeah, nobody is going to do that. Chrome has an option to have 3rd party plugins blocked by default (click to ac

I guess we can be happy that people are starting to notice that: 1. Copyright law has not kept up with current social norms and technology. and 2. "Terms of Service" are often ridiculous and unreasonable.

Installing Linux means you have a wealth of ways to instantly write code (gcc, g++, ruby, python, php, perl, and a browser where you can write Javascript) and there are plenty of places to go when it's capabilities run out. It's easy to "

It seems too many C++ programmers see a problem and think "Hey, let's use classes!". That's usually a result of people coming from Java doing C++ work.
