I try to buy from manufacturers who support open source and stay on top of LTS releases in order to reduce hardware compatibility risks. It just didn't work out this time. @turducken the bug seems to be related to hardware/chipset; maybe you're on the lucky side of the equation.

I am, though, less than impressed with unity and am going to be going back to gnome at some point.

If anyone is upgrading from 8.0.2 to 8.0.3 and they get this error "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/.patched found. You have already patched your sources. Exiting," just simply go to that directory and delete the .patched file and try again. This worked for me. Just an FYI.

What you translated as 'wine' (i.e., 'pots-de-vin') refers to 'bribery'. In other words, this would be more correct, if not proper english: «That's French for: Oracle has been suspected of bribery in some African countries, to get some deals» «That's French for Oracle has been importing a suspiciously large amount of wine to Africa.»

The state of LA traffic/public transportation is quite sad; it’s slowly getting better, but is still annoying when compared to other cities such as San Francisco or London. I like to blame GM; it’s convenient and timely. One interesting by-product of the Los Angeles trolley system is the miles of public staircases throughout the hills in Silverlake and Echo Park. Former trolley stops were at the bottom of the staircases.
