Mint 13 will be Cinnamon. The Mint guys know that MGSE sucked, so they forked GNOME 3 instead.

I'm surprised that many like Ubuntu over Linux Mint. With the switch to Unity, I thought Linux Mint might win. Unity is pretty great in 12.04, but it was terrible in other releases and many jumped ship.

I am not using this service because of a single line in the ToS. Basically, you relinquish ownership over items in the Google Drive. They have the right to do anything they want with them.

I use a book for my second monitor. It's Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (which I've never read). My two monitors both won't fit on the shelf I made out of a piece of wood and door stops (got that from here).

I put my desktop's primary 1920x1080 for the poll, but I also have a 1280x1024. My netbook has a 1366x768 resolution and my Cr-48 is 1280x800.

Out of curiosity, what version of Ubuntu are you using for your desktop? You just said server, so you could either like the stability of an LTS or like the less stable, more up-to-date software of 11.10.

The reason is because Mint was put in a tough place with the move to GNOME 3 and Unity. Try it with Cinnamon. It's a lot faster. It's their new default DE which will start shipping with 13. MGSE was slow, but Cinnamon is fast.

I'm glad you guys didn't put Linux Mint with Ubuntu like last time. It was suited for it last time because there weren't really any differences besides a few panel applets (like the mintMenu) and some software choices. Now, they're completely different, but compatible, distros. The only thing similar is the inner…

Upgrade to 10.10...if you like insecure software that doesn't get updates. It's reached its end of life.

I think I'm doing email right. I mainly get emails from Linux-related mailing lists. I usually just "read" it if it's not important. I like having 0 unread messages so that the notification actually tells me something about the email instead of saying I have thousands unread.

I think it does if you move to Testing (which is quite stable despite its name).

Unity is GNOME 3 also. Plus, the MGSE that's default right now isn't the default in 13. Cinnamon is.

That few hours depends on your setup. I had a full Xfce desktop in about half an hour last time I installed Arch.

I don't use a case or screen protector because I'm very careful with my phone. It has a Gorilla Glass screen, so it doesn't scratch and I don't drop it. The only time I drop it (rarely) is from my desk to the carpet and it doesn't get any damage from the small height.

I check it less often than I'd like, but I still use it. I really want to make it how I read articles, but I seem to just visit each site instead.

So does this mean that XP has longer support than Vista? What's the difference between what Microsoft's Vista plans and their XP plans?

Nothing likes Flash.

From what I've read, the new iPad uses 2.5x the energy to power the screen than on the iPad 2 at the same brightness. That might have something to do with it.
