Re: "GET A LIFE!!!"
Do you not think perhaps that some of those tweets were taking the piss?

"* AMD's Catalyst graphics drivers for Ubuntu are utter crap" Working just fine here.
"* WIFI never really works properly" "It just works" here.
"* KDE is very buggy" I heard it got better, but I haven't used it lately.
"* Canonical ...half-finished idea" I'm on 12.04, so haven't used some of the latest stuff, but a happy Unity user.
"* There are way too many fucking distros." Just go to Distrowatch and pick one off the top of the list.
"* Installing drivers is way too difficult" Menu>Hardware>Additional Drivers and up pops a list of drivers you can choose to install.
At least try to sound like you're keeping your FUD up to date.
[1] Wubi installs Ubuntu to a Windows filesystem - dual-boots without repartitioning.
[2] should be quite easy to do, but Linux copes pretty well with finding shares and printers itself as long as the printer manufacturer plays fair with drivers
[3] PlayOnLinux is doing good work automating installation of some popular Windows software.
[4] Wubi uninstalls with Windows Add/Remove Software.
You need to specify 1360x768 (actually works out at 1360x765, vertical is calculated from horizontal and the 16:9 ratio). The horizontal pixel count must be divisible by 8 - this is a restriction imposed by the EDID standard rather than something peculiar to Linux or this implementation. Workarounds are possible, but not with all hardware combinations.
Mine doesn't need to sit on a stair - put it at the bottom of the stairs and the hose easily reaches to the top. The carpet beater is easy to clean. It fits under radiators, chairs, beds etc. None of the bits has ever dropped off. I enjoy the good design every time I use it (which isn't as often as it should be).
Especially those people at the bottom of the pile who are chronically ill or disabled, and realistically unable to fully support themselves - reduce their benefits and make them pay more taxes, because they're not going to be able to fight it. How long before they bring back the workhouse?
At uni, when there was high demand for the Windows machines in the computing centre, I could usually find one that had been abandoned by a business student because the mouse was dead or missing. I'd occasionally get incredulous looks when I started using one, having been told "that one's not working"..
Well my memory has been crap since I can't remember when - I find Google incredibly useful for finding things that I only partly remember. However I was always rather good at mental arithmetic, and now I'm more likely to use Google for calculations than doing them in my head, which is probably a downside.
Depends how you define efficiency - the rules prevent chucking in cricket, so I suspect pitchers dissipate a lot more energy in their elbows than do bowlers. The run-up is more about getting the limbs swinging in the correct coordinated manner, rather than adding a slow jog to the top speed, I think.
