  • 8-bit, on 10/12/2007, -40/+6I like my ubuntu sticker! I didn't get it here tho.
    • SlvrEagle23, on 10/12/2007, -6/+57I want one that says "My other car is an Ubuntu"...that should make sense to most people. How are they supposed to know Linux isn't a car?
    • ubunturd, on 10/12/2007, -143/+19I'm going to make a sticker that says "Disappointed by Ubuntu"

      Seriously, ***** the Ubuntu hype.
    • Blandyman, on 10/12/2007, -13/+100Oh dear God.

      Ubunturd, are you the same ***** who registered www.ubuntusucks.com and mentioned it in the other Ubuntu article?

      You must get a real hard-on from talking ***** about Ubuntu.

      And your "signature" is annoying. We know you wanna say "***** the ubuntu hype." We don't ***** care, either.

      I don't use Ubuntu, I only use Windows XP and Mac OS X. I found Ubuntu to be, unfortunately, not easy enough at first install and I didn't see any real advantages for ME to get into it.

      But do I go around telling all Ubuntu users they're worthless and stupid? I actually find Ubuntu to be a very nice OS, albeit not useful to me.

      Grow a pair and get a life.
    • SODOMY, on 10/12/2007, -44/+12Blandyman, what does insulting an operating system have to do with someone's sexuality?
    • fartingbob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Surely your power supply powers your computer, no?
    • forteller, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Blandyman: ubuntusucks.com redirects to ubuntu.com
    • cwshea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I have one of these on my laptop.
      The one that doesn't have Ubuntu on it.
      Looks spiffy.
    • ubuntuedgy, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2Ubuntu sucks! Errr, wait...
    • ubunturd, on 10/12/2007, -23/+5debian + gnome + army of fanboys = Ubuntu
    • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -5/+29ubunturd: "omg i hatez teh ubuntoos kawz i liek tried to installz teh bonzi buddy and it totally wouldn't let me!"
    • thelastknowngod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5here is powered by everything... just print your own. i have a powered by slackware one on my notebook.

    • magicmarc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Some hi-res ones for other linux versions here:
      http://www.kde-look.org/content/search.php?xsortmode=new&search=1&type=0&name=powered+by&user=&text=&sort=0&scorefilter=0&licence=99&page=1
    • heptahedron, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16Can't we find something better than that tired old "Powered by ..." phrase?

      How about:

      "Unleashed by Ubuntu"
      "Ubuntu Ultimate PC"
      "Ubuntu Under Hood"
      "Ubuntu, the Un-PC"
      "Uber Ubuntu"

      Anything by the decade-old "Powered by..." slogan
    • ispep, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3@Blandyman

      Was calling him a such a derogatory term really necessary? Only a ubuntu fanboy would respond so hatefully.
  • SonicRush, on 10/12/2007, -2/+74Direct link to avoid blogspam:
    http://ubuntu.org.au/node/43
  • strabes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22I got some of these from system76 awhile ago... I have one on my computer where the Windows one used to be. :)
    • mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12I got mine at the Ubuntu stall at CeBIT last month. Also stuck over the same spot :D
  • Link459, on 10/12/2007, -31/+330 DIGGS AND IT'S DOWN ALREADY.

    Wow.
    • bobabot1, on 10/12/2007, -6/+36Diggs != page hits
    • GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12You'd assume Diggs would be proportional to hits though. Then again maybe not, there should be a statistical study into this sort of thing. How page hits varies with Diggs.
    • RedRummy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16I very rarely digg (don't know why) but I always click on the article..
    • n3rrd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Why would you assume diggs == page hits? People SHOULD be reading articles before they digg them. If you read an article and hate it, are you going to digg it?
    • Nick22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7remember, alot of diggs visitors dont even have digg acounts, in fact im willing to bet most of diggs visitors don't.
    • GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5"Why would you assume diggs == page hits? People SHOULD be reading articles before they digg them. If you read an article and hate it, are you going to digg it?"

      Who on earth said that. I said I assume "hits ~ k * diggs" where k is some constant. I.E. the number of diggs is *proportional* to the number of hits. Proportional does not mean equal, never has and never will. In essence I was saying that while "diggs != hits", diggs is still a good metric to measure how much traffic is reaching the site but only in comparison to other digg articles. It's not entirely meaningless.
    • steven401, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6@n3rrd

      If you go into your profile you can 'undigg' things.
    • arjie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think it's more like a certain variation of hits vs. diggs while upcoming and very different while 'popular'. That's just common sense though and suddenly I feel like an idiot for having thought it was a brilliant epiphany.
  • JoeMittler, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3I got mine when I ordered 6 copies from ubuntu.com. Put them on my laptop and anywhere else where it was used..
  • antiNeo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8"These have been quite popular and as a result, we are now fresh out."

    :-(
  • gr4yscale, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I've got one of these on my laptop right now ;) I got mine free from System76.
  • Pow3rbook, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I got these at system76 a few weeks ago. Pretty sweet. They came 4 days after I sent the envelope!!!
  • lcmatt, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5Already got some when I ordered my last CD from them.

  • JeffH, on 10/12/2007, -20/+13April Fools! The sticker really is a magnet that disables your wireless card so it's even harder to get it working.
    • stuartpidd, on 10/12/2007, -18/+10if you can't get your wireless card working in Ubuntu, you are retarded. Go to the forums and read the ***** articles, *****.
    • reed311, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14You shouldn't have to go into forums and figure out ways to get your hardware working. I always hear about Ubuntu "working right out of the box". A wireless card, for some people, is a major part of their setup.
    • Jabertsohn, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Why does everyone forget how hard it is to find all your hardware drivers for Windows? Ubuntu is considerably easier.
    • orbit1979, on 10/12/2007, -14/+5"if you can't get your wireless card working in Ubuntu, you are retarded. Go to the forums and read the ***** articles, *****."

      Typical "help desk" response from the Linux community. Seriously, take your piece of ***** OS and shove it!

      p.s. go choke on a dick.
    • orbit1979, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"You shouldn't have to go into forums and figure out ways to get your hardware working."

      The operative word is "shouldn't", but often one has to. Even then, my "god" help, even then even "he" can't.
    • diggdong, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2wlassistant, works with most cards.
  • joltjake, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3yeah, actually I got those about 5 months ago.
  • TylerLavite, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4i got some from system 76 they are very nice!
  • ultrahombre, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3I have some of these at home I put them on my Comp, My Nikon Coolpix s9 and of course the back of my car.
  • Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -17/+4That's funny, I thought my computer was powered by imagination...as in, I imagine it doing something useful.
    • Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8You just failed at trolling.
    • joltjake, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7yeah, nice try at being funny. Your brain must be powered by air duster and magic markers.
  • iEnigma, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8You can put one on your forehead so women will know not to bother with you.

    (Kidding.)
  • creep303, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2STOP RUNNING YOUR RETARDED BLOGS ON YOUR MOM'S 486!

    • spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1TUX sticker != Powered by Ubuntu sticker.
  • kevinchai, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2It should say "Designed for Ubuntu"/Linux"
    • GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Or it should say powered by:

      Ubuntu/Sun/Mozilla/X.org/GNOME/GNU/Linux.
  • diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Ought to say - 'DRM Free'
  • hungryduck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I'd like to put one on my Wii because after all, it's only matter of time...
  • Nick22, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1known about this for a while, pretty cool. Unfortunately they take for bloody ever to arrive.
  • antdude, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1http://duggmirror.com//linux_unix/Ubuntu_Stickers_Powered_by_Ubuntu/plain.html but no images.
  • Uoila, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7and ..... uhhh.... where can i get my "Powered by Fedora" badges??
  • anchorman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I like Ubuntu and all... but a story on Ubuntu stickers made it to the front page?
  • mymate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1any idea where i get custom ones printed properly?
  • SamsLembas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://system76.com/index.php/cPath/53_64

    Less shipping and faster service if you get them direct from System 76
  • jmcantrell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2grep -i "^.*\wubuntu\w.*$" && digg
  • MrSkrilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1no i wouldn't
  • redm0zzy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Think being on the Digg front page was too much for their servers ;o)
  • Auto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1These stickers are only good for indoor purposes. I put one on my car and it peeled off in 2 weeks from the moisture in the mornings (and leaved a really-hard-to-clean residue). They are not glossed so obviously they aren't weather proof.

    But for free, I guess you can't complain.
  • stuartpidd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@JeffH

    I take back what I said... (if you can't get your wireless card working in Ubuntu, you are retarded. Go to the forums and read the ***** articles, *****.)

    It was a pompous comment that made me look like the pathetic and immature fan boys that I can't stand.

  • archer75, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I need a "won't even boot with ubuntu" sticker. Seriously, two computers and 3 different versions of ubuntu and I still can't get the damn thing to run.
  • lukeydukey, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I still have that 20 pack of ubuntu coasters in my room =)
  • spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I sent my SASE in over 3 months ago, still haven't heard back.
  • morriscat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hmm,

    Guess I better get to work on that "Powered by Your Mother" graphic...
  • m1bxd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ubuntu users are always up... :-)
  • Jacksthebest, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have one of these at home
  • huyashamasha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg. How the hell did this get soooo many diggs?
  • gesturemaker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Very strange. Rubbish.
  • Yako, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Digg users are generally 12-year old retards who click the digg button because it looks so "cool".
  • kizio, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Quite doubtful. Seems the server is down. http://catszone.blogspot.com
  • mgadalsky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Beautiful! Are you people blind to vote for THIS? http://hobbyzoom.blogspot.com
