No Canada? Bah.

Good idea. The tech will *inevitably* progress to where it's over 3G. This shouldn't single out the iPhone, of course, but all devices.

Personal Story of How This Could Have Saved Me Embarrasment: I recently contacted the Prime Minister (I'm Canadian) about getting a letter for delegates to the local Model UN. In a back-and-forth with the Prime Minister's Office in Gmail I, by accident, forgot to change my email to my official one and sent it from…

Here's the story behind that:

You can do it more easily and with a easier way to revert with the latest Ubuntu Tweak. Honestly, that's an app which no Ubuntu computer should be without.

Personally, I'm really excited about the new Ubuntu branding. It looks really professional.

Just remember that this only works in the United States. If you are going to a country with tighter weapons laws (Canada, UK, France, pretty much everywhere else to be honest) you might not be let on the plane, depending on the country, and will probably have to surrender the weapon to local authorities at some point.

@luckycharms: You obviously haven't used Air Canada. I lived in Tunisia and my parents came to visit me for Christmas. On the way back (with my Christmas gifts for the whole family...), they went Lufthansa Tunis-Frankfurt, Frankfurt-London, and then Air Canada London-Toronto Toronto-Ottawa.

Vote: GNOME, built-in. GNOME's Startup Applications keeps things clean by denying access to any apps unless you authorize them yourself. This keeps Linux startup times quick and saves it from the troubles that irk Windows users in the first place.

Question: I'm on the Linux version and although it got my main Gmail account up and running just fine, does it handle advanced Gmail very well? By advanced I mean I have about 5 email addresses forwarded to one Gmail inbox and Gmail set up to send from all those addresses. Is there an easy way to import all those…

Linux (Ubuntu)

@tselby: It's no longer American-based. They moved out of Canada for tax purposes but there was a big hulabaloo welcoming them back as a Canadian-owned company.

Hehe... I don't know how Americans survive without Timmies. Honestly if you pull anyone off the street and ask if they want to go to Tim's (without context) they'll know exactly what you mean. It's the perfect fast food place! #remainders

1. The Cylon toaster from NBC is more awesome than the Vader one, simply because Vader wasn't actually a glorified toaster

Docky blows my mind! Honestly one of the best built apps I've ever used #dock

@monomaniacpat: Have you looked at GNOME DO Docky? It's a dock but also allows you to open any app on your computer with a keystroke and perform a tonne of other functions, making it not just a pretty face but also a major productivity tool. #dock

Vote: GNOME DO - Docky

One of the first Linux applications (Beryl, back when that was used instead of Compiz in Ubuntu 7.04) I installed was from source. Wow that was a headache, but the community really helped me and now I know how to read the error messages so I can get the dependencies and install easily. I can now install from source…

Only in the USA...

@TuxBobble: WUBI is a good option (which allows you to install Ubuntu beside Windows without partitioning or risking anything on the Windows partition. Giving it 10GB will basically let you install any apps you want). If you can't do that, VirtualBox is great (just install the guest additions)
