That's wierd... Did you Google it? If Google doesn't bring anything up, then I'd try a fresh reinstall, but hey, it's your life.

I did do some searching but I found a lot of unanswered forum questions and a ton of other solutions to problems dealing with older versions of Ubuntu.

Btw I tried to put 64 bit Linux Mint on a Cd and it wouldn't fit so I've found a way to load from a usb. Problem is I have to format the drive to FAT32 and trying to reformat a 1 TB external HD takes FOREVER.

Would the 32 bit version actually fit on a CD? Doing it on a cd would be much easier and quicker.

I'm okay with that. My money is a pittance compared to that! (Grad school assistantship). You'll probably have trouble qualifying for it though! :D :p As low as the money is, it is surprising as to how selective they get in picking their employees! :D I'm officially below poverty line for this tax year (as I only worked for part of the year.. :p). I'll barely make it next time.

Btw, I'll probably be unqualified for your job too. But not to worry, I can pay to train myself, get trained, take your money and still get more than I make! :D :p

Ah idk... I drive buses and getting a CDL ain't cheap partner lol. But at $8 an hour at 20-25 hours a week you might still make more me. Assitantship money is bad but it isn't THAT bad.

It is 30% your 6 day contract work's money... approximately. I seem to make significantly more than the $8/hour you quoted... And I don't (need to) work all my hours too! :D :p But all I said is it is a pittance compared to that contract work of yours and that's true...

    OK more in depth reply;

    I personally believe that the United States should let Unicorn's on the front lines of battle. They have a natural bayonet attached to their heads. Plus unicorns are not only cheaper to operate, but they are easier to apply extra armor to than Humvee's. As well as being able to carry more soldiers in and out of the battlefield faster, obviously.

    To answer your earlier question, I think that all unicorns should indeed pool their knowledge into one collective "hive mind" as it would make all combat unicorns more informed as to what's happening during battle. If one unicorn happens to spot an enemy sniper - now all unicorns know where he is and can act accordingly.

    Of course that's where the whole stem cell debate comes into play. What few people seem to realize is that if a unicorn is wounded in combat and he looses his horn, the only way to get it back is with magic unicorn stem cells. The only place you can get these magic stem cells is at the home of all unicorns, Unicornacopia. Oddly enough, the magic stem cells don't even come from the unicorns themselves, they come from kittens. In order to extract enough stem cells to repair just one horn, 4 kitties must die. This is where "ethics" come into play because nobody wants the blood of dead kittens on their hands. However in Unicornacopia kittens are the equal to our spiders, so the unicorns don't really care. Why should we?

    Anyways I have a solution. We should let unicorns serve on the front lines and if they lose their horn during battle we can simply retire them to a veterans ranch where they will serve out the rest of their days of service as horses in non-combat situations while they await their stem cells from the kittens.

    So that's my $0.02 on the situation. Guys I set up a donation fund to help the unicorns, if you're interested. If you have any kittens you would like to donate to be merciless slaughtered to save a unicorns horn, please visit www.kittensforunicornhorns.org and navigate to the donate page. :)

    Thanks in advance...

    Re: [Off-Topic]Everyone welcome

    Actually this thread has helped many people on this device in the past. Although it is primarily off topic we have had many questions posted in here from this device and many other devices. All questions were always answered and people helped. After all this thread/devices forums personified what XDA should be. A thread where new users and experienced users can come together with questions about devices. Most of XDAs forums/threads I have been in have been full of rude know it alls that persecute "noobs". No persecution was ever tolerated in this forum or thread...not by moderators but by us users. Noobs should be helped and that is the only way the custom rom scene will grow into more then it is today. I know this will not save my thread but I hope all moderators see this and put a firm leg down on rude people that persecute noobs. After all...in every noob is the future of XDA development.

    Good day to all my XDA friends and long live the DX2 and noobs!

    I'm gonna start paying tonight. Might not be on tonight. So of the thread is closed by tomorrow I just wanna say that it was good while it lasted. No where else could I go and talk about technology and other crap like I could here. I hate that the mods are doing this but oh well. I'll see everyone around here maybe. Always good talking to you guys.
