Ubuntu: WiCD Network Manager “Connection Failed: Bad Password” [SOLVED]

Friday, October 29th, 2010

If you’re familiar with correctly entering your WPA2 password after an Ubuntu update and now your Netbook won’t connect using WiCD, I got the solution that worked for me.

Uninstall network-manager and restart WiCD

Open a terminal and type:

$ sudo apt-get remove network-manager
...
$ sudo /etc/init.d/wicd restart

You may have to restart wicd daemon twice in case you don’t see the wireless networks right away.

Under Pressure

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

If I were going by and had a $20 in my pocket I think I’d give it to this guy for making my day.

To Download or to Rip used CDs?

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

What you see above is a picture of the last 30 USED CDs I bought on Amazon.com.

These 30 CDs total a number of 454 tracks.

CD prices ranged between $1.61 to $9.18

The total of these purchases, including shipping was $291.78

This makes the average cost per track only $0.64.

ITunes charges $1.29 per track, that’s a 48% saving per track, and I keep the CDs and the booklets, if anything happens to my hard drive, I just rip the CDs again to put my music on as many devices as I can.

So I ask you… Should online music stores get their prices down to $0.50 per track? or you think $1.29 is the price of getting your song whenever you want, wherever you want?
