Link rot is evil. Archive everything. The keyboard is king. Correctness over performance. Canonicalize, normalize, deduplicate. Don't repeat yourself. UTF-8 > UTF-16. Use static typing: good for tooling. Re-use; don't re-invent. Correctness, then clarity, then concision and elegance. Play devil's advocate. First understand opponents' positions.

How do I remove full name from owner column within file manager? KDE's Dolphin displays just the username. Not sure whether you can get Nautilus to do that though. |

Kernel update doesn't install @UriHerrera: The changelog is for Firefox, but the error itself seems to be some sort of dpkg internal error. |

How to report or block an inappropriate application in the Ubuntu Software Centre? However, you might successfully argue to them that they shouldn't highlight potentially offensive things like political magazines, and foreign-language publications to English-speaking users, on the default screen. |

How to report or block an inappropriate application in the Ubuntu Software Centre? I assume you mean the commie magazine that's currently at the top. It's unlikely to be removed since it's not illegal under UK law (Canonical is based in the UK). |

Was my computer hacked by Minecraft/Craftbukkit Initscript? I was thinking the user had selected that in a web browser, and accidentally middle-clicked. But it is unlikely that he would have been reading about how to run a Minecraft server if he didn't know what Minecraft is! |

Was my computer hacked by Minecraft/Craftbukkit Initscript? It looks like you accidentally pasted something into your terminal. Minecraft is a computer game. |
