Mwoehaha! On some Ubuntu bashing article, there's some #!-praise. The best of it: It seems to be a windows oriented forum.

Congrats all and in particular corenominal, for this word of support from some MS-fanboy site

No shit! Better take the subway as a comparison. And streets, in stead of homes.

Think linux and its ecosystem have more to do with openness rather than fences. Toy around with metaphors how much you like, but choosing proprietary idols over collaborative ones will help you only for a limited extent.

What intrigues me about this OS/GNU/LINUX stuff, is that what makes my life better, could benefit others as well. Helping each other out, with understanding, configuration, or even development. Something different than humping a horn or suspecting that the next guy in the street might be a burglar.

For example, our beloved Debian tries to make anarchy productive by implementing a meritocratic democracy. Cars and privately owned apartments haven't helped me to understand this.

Guess I'm just saying that choice of metaphors is relevant to what actually is happening.

Same here, on encrypted system with plymouth I get this error. Not on my non-encrypted one.

Well, you can list all the listening TCP ports with a command like:

netstat --tcp -anp 

you get a list of all the active and listening services tcp services. Sound like you only want to do the port forwarding on your firewall. Don't know this application, but it possibly is already listening on that port. You should be able to open this connection with the appropriate application from the same machine by 127.0.0.1:<port where you expect communication>.

But I seriously doubt that you are looking in the right direction. I have never encountered the need for port forwarding, except for opening the occasional security hole in my router to access my home resources when not at home.

LOL

MS Messenger is truly multi-platform. It runs on *any* botnet

edit: Big Blue Button looks interesting, but one should connect to a dedicated server to do some chatting. Makes sense for organizations, but not so much for me & friends/family.

Interesting thought. Figure that *trending on search* would be more interesting than *trending on microblog*.

Agree that this legalistic approach will possibly not bring anything. Better hope that new search engines with a different kind of financial structure will implement such a feature.

Don't know anything about basic (except for loading data from cassettes), but managed to get the freebasic compiler running last week after some fiddling and trying. Would that be worth a try?

It's hard to guess what the packages need vs. what you have, but if you know which version of packages you need, possibly you can force some other versions. With aptitude you can make a lot of (wrong) decisions on how to resolve dependencies. In my understanding, it is likely to bork your system...

You managed to get it working on Debian Mint, or the Ubuntu version? IIRC Mint uses testing or unstable. You could follow Hardran3's apt-pinning guide.

If you want a better answer than this one, I will not be able to give it. But I do know that you should be more specific in what you have installed, and what you concretely need.

Good luck

Nice one! After Beerware, there's now also Fuckware

Nice way to put it. Would subscribe to this thesis if I'd like to approach the persistent accident of consciousness with mathematical rigor.

And if you are into that kind of thing, would recommend meandering through Spinoza's Ethics. Reading hint: Start somewhere in the middle, and make yourself a thread to the start, until the level of abstraction makes the ideas seem too arbitrary...

And one again!

There's a new one here.
