Allen, there it is said that one of the "10 Things That WON'T Happen In 2009" is that they "predict people will continue to choose Windows". Unfortunately, we all know that's the truth. But then they comment that "Windows outsells Linux in the netbook market, perhaps because it's simply more fami

Thanks a lot for the words of appreciation Allen but unfortunately you made the same mistake as almost anyone :) Portugal is a very small country making frontier to Spain which both make the Iberian Peninsula but its language is different from Spanish and it is for example spoken in Brazil. You

I just offered mentorship to this bug relating the ubuntu-pt team (the Portuguese LoCO team). I use Ubuntu since Dapper Drake (that is 6.06, so June 2006) and only in 2008 I started to write in this forum because it was when I thought I had the required knowledge to it because I never used GNU/Lin

I need to add a few words to the previous post. Amir said a wrong sentence saying "I know the difference between the Internet and the Web" because it is the same thing. This is normal... I said "WEB browser" in the end of the other post wanting to write "WWW" and my fingers just slipped. The Web

I was a Windows user until XP, then I tried Ubuntu Dapper Drake. I made dual boot in both my laptop and desktop (in that time I didn't had a server). Time passed and I began to use Ubuntu more and more. More applications came and I learned more. When Vista came out I didn't tried it. I just heard

Just like to add a pure personal opinion. Windows Vista was a failure. Wasn't it on purpose? Years and years of eXPerience, milestones after milestones of Longhorn. Everyone was expecting a better OS than XP. The result... Worst than Windows ME. Every poll you see on forums that ask people which O

To Allen Graham and everyone else: I have a desktop (media center) and a server, both assembled by me, both running Ubuntu (and like I said before, sadly I have XP in the media center just to run some games...

I agree with thegizmoguy when he says "Ubuntu is clearly in competition with Microsoft or this bug thread wouldn't exist". It is the #1 bug and in the first few words of it we can read "This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix". With this in mind we realize that Ubuntu is to be installed in

Is your phone discoverable? I ask this since you can't pair from your pc but you can from your mobile and if your try to sent a file without pairing your phone doesn't appear. If it wasn't, activate it and then disable the pairing in both devices and start a new one. I have an HTC Artemis and a
