Recently friend of mine asked me to install Ubuntu 8.04 to his pc , and i said “Ok , no problem” and 10 minutes after i installed the fancy new distribution of linux my problems begun .

First of all the ubuntu started to ask me for passwords for almost anything i did .. i wanted to access the NTFS partition and message appears “Enter Password” i want to access network settings “Enter password” , and imagine how annoying is this when you have to access those thing like 10~20 times and the password is 10 char`s long mixed numbers and letters . Believe me , you don’t want such experience . Lets say after after some time i noticed the new function for password management . Ok half problems are gone . Now remains the problem why i cant connect to the local network and the rest of the internet using PPPOE . Strange huh ? Very if you have done this many times and suddenly something decided not to work properly under linux but under Windows ( the same connection on the same pc )it works perfectly . After 2 hours of struggling and manually entering ip`s getaways and dns servers it didn’t work , and my face expression was like “WTF?!?” so i logged back to Windows and i ran the ” ipconfig /all ” command and i copied everything and then i logged back to the nice looking Ubuntu and started to check everything again and when i looked at the line with the MAC address i saw a different mac address . Once again i my facial expression was “WTF?!?” . So after changing the MAC address everything worked perfectly .

Ah.. finally .. no more pain ..

Ultra Products, Inc. is trying its hand at that most glorious of corporate traditions: suing the pants off one’s competition. The maker of computer components is taking 22 — yes, twenty two! — of their competitors to court, claiming to have a patent for modular power supplies since November of 2006. Ultra says they sent several warnings to the companies about the violations and is asking for the legal maximum of three times the damages. The suit actually doesn’t accuse the companies of violating the patent, but of being an accomplice to end users who are violating the patent. Oh, and unless we’re missing something here, Hewlett Packard filed a modular power supply patent in 2000 — we certainly recall Screen Savers covering the devices way back in ‘99.
