@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: I've been happily rocking v2 on my mini 9 for a month now. I agree. It's not ready for primetime. It still needs more lipstick and polish, but it's getting there.

Um, doesn't Murphy's Law indicate that it's impossible to choose the correct line?

@dmsuperman: One of the advantages of Linux is that it can be as bloated or unbloated as you'd like it to be. Compiz is no exception. True, you can turn all the effects on and put your little sister's myspace page to shame, but you can also, gasp, actually use it to increase your productivity.

@Malia Lyons: Yup. That must be a pretty good spot for a picture. I took an eerily similar picture when I was in Hawaii.

Since no one has done it yet, I'll quote Roger Waters on the issue.

And for your useless tidbit of the day. Your VAP is actually the component, Sang.

@the_boffin: Installing the Microsoft core fonts, or the ubuntu restricted extras nets you 13.

@soggy_cheerio: This is specifically in reference to a cross platform solution.
