If the shutdown is sudden, it's a hardware problem. Get a known-good power supply and see if that isn't the problem.
If the shutdown is orderly (Ubuntu does show some diagnostic info on a normal shutdown, right?), that is completely bizarro and makes no sense at all.
What kind of "shutdown"? Sudden reboot? Delayed reboot? Freeze? Crash to console & kernel panic? Power-off? Screen goes black and monitor goes into standby?
If the machine doesn't power down or reboot or otherwise return to a usable state on its own, can you get to another computer that is...
The text of the agreement (redacted for various reasons) is now available. The agreement directly linked to is only the patent agreement; there are a few other agreements linked to that are also relevant, so don't forget to read those too. ;)
Even if there is a loophole somewhere (and I don't...
The messy reality of government has upstaged the trauma-induced bubble of patriotism in the majority of people.
I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing, only that it is what has happened.
For members of the affected group, to show solidarity via shared symbolism is a natural...
It may not be what you're thinking of, if it's anything like what my medicines (none of which are Paxil) do to me: orgasm happens, but it takes manipulation of whatever muscles I have in that area to make the ejaculate actually come out. Yes, I think a few medicines can improve performance as...
While I wouldn't put it in those terms, that's essentially what I would say. I know my current limits, and getting women is beyond them. I have too many other problems to worry about. So I just don't bother.
A company called CodeWeavers puts out a nice product called CrossOver, which enhances the Wine codebase just like with Cedega, except for productivity software instead of games.
The one problem I have had with this line of reasoning is that nobody seems to have the text of or pertaining to said vouchers available. Moglen has stated that the vouchers support this argument, and I have no particular reason to not believe him, but some actual wording would be nice to...
You're mixing up WW2 and WW3. The reason the "World War 3" label is appropriate is because this situation brings the promise of mutually assured destruction, except with patents instead of nuclear weapons. Instead of the potential mass slaughter of people, we have the potential mass slaughter of...
But they didn't name any party but the nebulous label of "Linux", with some quantities but no specific patent numbers. So these patents could be anything from "the greatest leap forward in technology evar!!!" to "the double-click".
This threat is so open-ended that I personally find it...
They did not list which patents. We do not know whether the patents are non-obvious and thus valid, per recent SCOTUS rulings, or are instead practically toilet paper, and it is very conceivable that companies heavily invested in some FOSS projects (IBM in particular) may begin the patent...
This is justification for Security by Diversity of Implementation. No amount of resources being applied to one environment will eliminate all the bugs without further development grinding to a halt. Giving the vast majority of computers (who don't know what they're doing) the same implementation...
