That is some serious contrast! I think I lie somewhere in the middle. I've been using Linux for 10 years but I have no need for programming and I will only compile code it there is not a package for it available already.

I key Dvorak on principal and I read fantasy novels.I can debate the validity of the Sega Saturn and talk up the superiority of quadralaterals on low-end hardware... I can also rattle off the engine codes of my favorite cars. Does this not make me a geek too?I feel hurt and alone. :) Just kiddingMaybe I am a nerd...

No matter how small or insignificant you think a donation might be, you can never quantify the joy and happiness it may bring to another's life, specially this time of year.

Then I would deserve even more points for being able to compile it on more OS'es then first listed ;-)

Not all OS, but any - and remember that there are other OS out there, android, Basic, etc :D

"Can compile code on any OS"?
Why in the name of all things sacred would I want to compile something on Windows or a Mac? I don't want to. Compiling on Linux or an Apache Server is all that's needed!
Heck. Using Windows or MacOS (unless you've built a hackintosh all by yourself) for your main OS will subtract substantial Geek points of your credibility list in my book!

This suspend problem has been plaguing me for months. You fix works perfectly and I now have an Inspiron Studio that suspends and resumes :)

Thanks!

I think there is a wordpress plugin that does it. Alternatively the API is available now which should be easy make one

What is Google thinking? No RSS feed, despicable.

Re: Dell Studio 17″ 1749 – Ubuntu linux suspend and hibernate problems

Hmm could be a different bug. Mine never rebooted, mine just hung with a blank/black screen when coming back up. I moved to Linux Mint in anycase because i could not stand Unity and was having random crashes for some reason on Ubuntu (unsure why, but frustrating!)

Re: Dell Studio 17″ 1749 – Ubuntu linux suspend and hibernate problems

Basil Yokarinis — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 16:56:09 -0000

Hmmm... doesn't work for me. Both suspend and hibernate work, but coming back up always reboots. This seems to be due to a recent update...

Of course, I'm running 10.04 so it could be a different bug.

Nah i never use firewire - i think i only used it once on a HDD as a novelty. Same as the esata cable :D

Steve Keate — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 10:44:40 -0000

So just a dodgy firewire module, how annoying. Have you ever used firewire on your machine?

I've used it once with a DV camera and a couple of times to do Mac to Mac repairs or filesystem cloning. I'd certainly rather have the mild inconvenience of having to remember to load and unload the firewire module when using the port to have working sleep. Back in the day if you moved all the scripts and config files related to APM and PCMCIA into a ramdisk you could get absurdly fast wake/sleep. My old 1999 Compaq laptop was able to wake from sleep in less than 3 seconds because it could process all that crap before the hard drive spun up.

Currently you are unable to do this, the API is not released so nobody can post it without a LOT of trouble.
In my opinion, this is a good thing, I am not looking forward to all the spammy services i get on facebook (instagram nasty images, boring blog posts galore, games etc)

Actually we do make our own Yoghurt, but from the Esiyo packets. We don't have time to do home made yoghurt the way your grandma does, though i have done that and do know how. Time is a major factor in our household, so quick and easy meals are a must :)
