I'd recommend a Canon Powershot or Lumix. They make very good consumer digital cameras. And the guy above is right. If zoom is factoring into your choice, optical zoom is what you want. That...

For what it's worth, I just got my first guitar lesson the other night. It really hurts your fingers at first! I'm told after a few weeks calluses develop and it's not a problem.

Yes, it appears our problems probably don't have the same cause. There does seem to be a lot of network output in your logs, though. More than I've seen. I've heard people lay the cause of lockups...

yikes! Please edit that and wrap it in [ CODE ] tags. This will make it much more readable and keep the formatting.

Also, was there anything BEFORE the start of the part of this log? Because...

You can search the files from the command line. If you know what time exactly your crashes happened, it's easier. For example, if you have a lockup, and you have to do a hard reboot, look at the...

No unfortunately I found no solution. Instead I decided to install a fresh copy. It really blows to install a completely new system because they change and poorly document something like that.

I've been experiencing similar issues. I posted about it here. I recommend you go through your logs (/var/log/kern.log, /var/log/messages) and see if you find messages from the time when the...

I've opened a new bug for this.

Yes, I am also having this problem. Check your kernel log at /var/log/kern.log and see if there are errors at the time when the lockup occurs. For me, every time this has happened (at least 6 times...

My Ibex setup. AWN, some screenlets.

Yes, much colder than last year! I just bought a coat today. Sorely needed!

I upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04.1 tonight. I log into Gnome to find out that my mouse speed has been reduced. I added specific changes in xorg.conf to increase the speed in Hardy, so I check xorg.conf...

Maybe look at why other countries like Germany and France have switched over in certain areas (schools, govt), the difficulties, costs associated, etc.

Exactly.

If I want to watch a video file, it's laborious to click click click click deep into a folder structure (I like hierarchy and classification). Plus, I use a laptop exclusively, and while...

I agree with several of these... especially The Books. They're awesome.

for me...

I'm an amateur photog too. I just got my first DSLR, the Canon 40D. Previously I used a Lumix FZ7. I've used a lot of photo apps on Linux: f-spot, digikam, gthumb, RAWtherapee, LightZone, Bibble,...

Yeah, frankly, considering he's been able to amass the wealth to begin with, I'm sure he knows better than me how to keep it. Not worth worrying about.

What you may not realize is that Ubuntu has already grown exponentially in size. I remember using Ubuntu in 2005, only recently after it'd been released in 2004 for the first time. It wasn't nearly...

Yes, as far as the browser itself goes, I hope it does well. Whatever gets more people to stop using the god awful IE, I'm for it.

Thunderbird + Gmail IMAP + Lightning + Google Calendar

I don't see any reason to, I'm not attracted. I've got firefox customized to the point where using another browser as my main one seems outlandish.

Agreed. I've been running linux for 4 years solid, and while I'm no master and there are MANY more knowledgeable linux users than myself, I can handle the system. That said, I don't feel the need...

riiight.

Why not?

I've converted to Liferea from newsbeuter. It has everything that bothered me about newsbeuter.
