Skype sends empty vouchers to some clients

As a highly original New Year's present, Skype is sending vouchers to some of the clients who had paid for premium services (had balance) and been affected by the failure in December.

Funny part is that some of the vouchers are empty - they contain no code to redeem.

I personally have received a voucher with the code and successfully redeemed the value of $1.

I am sure they should pay more than $1 to the folks who received the joke.

Stay tuned!

Happy New Year and let your presents be real.

UPDATE: Skype is resending the letters, this time with the $1 code.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)

It's been some time I wanted to tell you how great Ubuntu is.
I have been following this distro since 7.04 and the new advancements just rock!

It's the most user-friendly OS for PC, in my opinion.

It has the speed, it runs quite smooth, it contains an app store client (although you still need to enable 'unpure' third-party sources) and my overall impression is "Wow!".
You plug a USB drive - and it mounts on your desktop - very mac-like and better than Windows.
You plug a printer - and it just works.
You plug a camera - and F-Spot takes care if the import and albums - like a free iPhoto replacement.
Check out the F3 button in the filesystem explorer.

Finally, I thought, we have something to replace MS Windows with. I even stopped worrying about MacOS X not being released on PC.

By all means, if you haven't yet, you should try Ubuntu.

But, unexpectedly for me, the show was over when I hit a problem: Ubuntu sometimes disables all network after standby or sleep or hibernation.

With the amount of people who acknowledged themselves there as being affected by the problem, it will be probably solved in the next century.

If you experience the same issue, I pledge you to go ahead, register if needed, and acknowledge that this issue also affects you.

I am not a fan of tweaking system files to re-enable my network anymore.
Come on guys, it's XXI century!
