Rapid technological leaps forward in the last 10 years mean mankind is closer than ever before to knowing whether extra-terrestrial life exists in our galaxy, one of Britain's leading scientists said on Tuesday.
If Ubuntu does not recognize hardware to connect to the net, and a net connection is necessary in order to install drivers for hardware that connects to the net, then how is such a system ever going to connect to the net?
You can see the situation in this thread:
How do I install drivers for the Atheros AR8161 Ethernet controller?
and in this thread:
build-essential and linux-headers-generic gives abort message
Surely, surely, there is a way out of this catch-22.
So this is more a general resources question, as I am seeking knowledge on how best to conserve resources in a game (I am writing in Java, and please this is not a thread on what language I should write it in, I have already chosen Java) so that the updates and frames per second could be the highest they could be. In general I am just searching for any articles you may have, any personal experience, anything what so ever that could be of use to a pretty new Java game developer on the subject!
Thanks in advance!
Since I rarely use caps-lock, I'd like to map the key to a middle mouse click instead. I would also like to map Alt+Caps Lock to the original function of the caps lock key, should I ever need it.
I can map any keyboard shortcut to xdotool click 2, but the Gnome Keyboard Shortcuts dialog won't let me assign a command to the caps-lock key, even with modifiers.
I know this is a bit of a strange undertaking; How would I go about doing it?
Businesses are increasingly conducted over IT networks and it is imperative for them to maintain network confidentiality more than ever before. A failure to ensure the security of business IT network can lead to dire consequences. In order to secure these network, a number of changes are made to the infrastructure of the underlying network, and a network administrator is designated to create policies which will protect the network from unauthorized access.

I installed MDADM for my RAID, and ever since that when I boot up the system just sits at the purple screen forever. After pulling my hair out for a week, I finally discovered - purely by accident - that it's sitting at an initramfs prompt in the background and I have to blindly type "exit" and then Ubuntu resumes normal boot. How do I fix this? I am unable to reboot my machine if I'm not sitting in front of it because it will never boot!
I'm creating a Zelda-style RPG using Tiled, C#, and MonoGame.
When my code parses the .tmx file, it will get a number to associate with each tile type based off of their position in the tile sheet. If I ever need to change my sprite sheet, this number will change for many of the tiles. How can I guarantee that when I parse my .tmx file, I will be able to know exactly what tile type I'm getting so that I can associate the proper data with it(transparency, animated, collision, etc.)?
I installed ubuntu 12.04 from the mini.iso
I want the most minimal classic gnome possible, all I ever need is a terminal, wireless connection, chromium and mid-night commander. No video or audio players no office no nautilus and no other applications. How can this be achieved? I also don't want a log in graphical interface like GDM or lightdm , I'll be happy to log in using the command line.
Thanks in advance
is it necessary to format windows XP OS to do partitioning for Ubuntu, and how do I do it properly to then install Ubuntu 10.10 from disk, and would it work from 10.10 to get 12.04 updates?

Have you ever wondered how you can find out search statistics for certain keywords? Well the Google Keyword Tool does exactly that and has been the reason that so many successful Internet Marketers have been able to choose the right, targeted keywords for their websites and indeed blogs.
There's nothing worse than optimizing for a search phrase that has high search volume but not ranking in the top 10 for the search and missing out on all the traffic. Without a rating for the difficulty of a keyword, there is no way to know if you're wasting your time pursuing traffic from a search term that you have no chance of ever ranking for.
When debugging (hard to find) bugs, I know I've personally gotten so frustrated as to lash out on the keyboard and shout profanities at the monitor.

Getting top Google rankings is something that many webmasters want, but hardly any ever achieve...mainly because of something that they almost all miss. The good news is that if you are able to get one simple thing for your site, you can make your site rank at the top of Google.
In reference to broken windows...
Are there times when refactoring is best left for a future activity? For example, if a project to add some new features to an existing internal system is assigned to a team that has not worked with the system until now, and is given a short timeline in which to work with - can it be ever be justifiable to defer major refactorings to existing code for the sake of making the deadline in this scenario?
