If you draw a horizontal line connecting the bottom of the left arm to the bottom of the right arm, It kinda looks like its wearing a Darth Vader mask.

Re: Will You Upgrade to Ubuntu 16.10 Next Week? (Poll)

Afaik (I could be wrong), Linux likes to use up as much RAM as is available to ensure your system runs speedily. The argument being that its faster to read from RAM than it is to read from a hard drive. Loading more into RAM prevents the OS from having to make costly I/O operations on the harddrive, which would slow down the performance of your machine.

Not sure why you're seeing a such a huge jump tho. Maybe 15.10 wasn't making best use of your available memory?

I've followed this and Norman's guides and have gotten everything running. The only issue I'm having is that my vdev's ownership gets set to root:root after each reboot. Any idea how to get it to mount with the right ownership?

Are you still using this setup? How much more stable - in practice - has it been than an unjournaled HFS+.

Months? The problem says to prove that it doesn't work for ANY number larger than 2. That's a "while(x >2 && x <= INFINITY){ x++; }" style loop. Your program will NEVER finish running.

How? Syria itself is only 185,180 square kilometres.

I think you've confused the 'region of Syria' (an ancient region which is now split into Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Isreal, Palestine, parts of Turkey, and various other countries in that region) with modern day Syria (a country).

Syria (the country) has some desert, but also has coastal littorals, a lot of mountains, and inland fertile steppes. Something like 28% of its land is farms, meadows and pastures.

A quick Google search reveals you've got the definition of a scientific theory wrong:

"A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world."

This does exist, though not very Ubuntu friendly. In fact, not friendly at all. Just mean and all up in our biznatch, and shit.

Anyway..

Maybe something similar could work for Gimp and Inkscape?

Re: Workspaces: and How We Use Them.

1. 4
2. Two top, Two Bottom
3. Bottom Left corner invokes expo. AND/OR CRTL+ALT+(directional key)
4. I usually only use all 4 when I'm working at web design projects. 3 windows of gedit in the first (html, css and js), chrome in the second, gimp or inkscape in the third and banshee/empathy/skype in the fourth.
5. Not really.
6. I'd love to see an effective method of adding a separate wallpaper to each workspace.
