haha Matt,

I am always weary of hotlinking, I basically do it only with Wikipedia pictures and Flickr. But these guys just got pwned! And the best part is that they still didn't notice

@Bdog2g2 True, I am sure there are a million petitions online with much nobler causes that failed...and a bitching and whining petition gets 16K Diggs...thats just not right.

@Gabriella personally I don't think its wrong to digg a story if I haven't read it. Like I said in the blog, there are a lot of stories that don't particularly interest me but the title and description was enough for me to learn something new but not pursue it further...

Alternatively, there are some subjects that I am so knowledgeable about that I know the what the story is talking about before I even click on it...

Its a thorny issue and there are a lot of different reasons to digg something without actually reading the story....

Thanks Matt! Worked on Ubuntu Linux without a hitch.

I am having problems with getting my Google Apps (hehe2.net) account to work. It used to work, but with their latest update it just stopped...any ideas?

Thats weird man, I never encountered this. Let me google it a bit and try to find the solution.

Did you try it with another distro?

Well the sad truth is the the newer iPods (touch) don't work well with Linux. Apple have locked it down very well. There are some tools, but they never seem to work for me....

You got an iPod touch right? I personally ditched my iPod Touch.

Hmm, I am not sure if I understand you. Do you mean you have two borders? You got a screen shot?

Which got me thinking is there a way to convert from GNOME to KDE and vice versa? Better search it, would make a good blog. Thanks Smoodin :)

Thats not the point. The point is that marketing is about attention to detail, which is not the case here.

True there are other silver PC's out there, but take a look at the keyboard, they have the same shape of a Macbook Pro.

And besides thats not really the point, its a screwup, I mean do you want to tell me that the marketing department was like "alright guys lets do a photoshoot and use a laptop similar to the mac book pro and don't forget the Xbox 360 Playstation look-alike joysticks!!"

Am not really sure Aanand, I doubt it, but it's worth a try. Generally if it doesn't work under general VM then this method won't change a thing...

As Michael said, I tweak a lot, and I never felt comfortable with a straight upgrade....

yes I chown'ed, totally forgot about that!

And yes I do also have a separate /home, but I was aiming for the least common denominator ;)

It may be superficial, but again I don't really have such configurations. My mail is in the cloud, and don't really use anti-virus, or spamassasain. Personally my apps and config is all I need. I am sure I am not alone, and its still relevant to a lot of people out there. Then again, users who have such configs aren't exactly noobs to forget to back up these files.
