Re:Official Steam client for Ubuntu released on Thursday February 14, 2013 @04:50PM (#5222628)
When I tried installing the 64-bit version on Kubuntu 12.10, I got a dependency error [steam64 depends on steam (= 1.0.0.27)].

I just downloaded the 32-bit version also and installed them both.

Re:Amazon's homepage was down on Thursday January 31, 2013 @03:06PM (#5147089)
Funny. I followed the "down=yes" link and got the "Service unavailable" page, as expected.

Then I clicked on the "down=no" link for fun, and the page partially loaded for me. I refreshed it and got the whole front page loaded. And then one more time and got the "Service unavailable" again...

Re:Nexus 4 available for purchase again today at 12pm PST on Tuesday November 27, 2012 @05:43PM (#4839691)
After over 2 and a half hours of trying to get my order through, I was finally able to place my order. Confirmation e-mail just came in. I wish that the process would have been a lot nicer.

No automation, like others did. Just did a lot of clicking the "Process" button with a few breaks every so often. I would click on the "Cart" link every now and then, just to verify that my cart didn't get cleared out like it was earlier today.

I remember Gabriel talking about trying to buy ddg.com a long time ago, but the company was unwilling to sell the domain at all...
