1) Only show ideas greater than 1 week old
-or-
2) Give priority to the week 2, 3, and 4 ideas (ie: give week 1 ideas a 7-14 day sorting penalty).

Once this sorting issue is fixed, brainstorm will work much better. I filed a bug report on it, but it got no response and I think it is slipping through the cracks.

What do you think? Are there any other ways you can see to solve this problem?

Sure we can select "Aspect ratio -> Original", but as soon as we resize the window, the video is distorted!
I mean, why can't we at least have an option to always keep the original aspect ratio of the videos?!?

All other players I tried in ubuntu even do it by default:
-GNOME MPlayer
-Kaffeine
-KMPlayer
-KPlayer
-Totem
-SMPlayer
-VLC
...

That's a waste of a click and my time.

Put the search box on *every* brainstorm page (there's plenty of white space up there :)).

I hate when those bastards just scare the hell out of me when I'm listening to music or something.... so I would like to have flash ALWAYS muted, something PulseAudio does not allow!
Why can't PulseAudio just remember these settings for each program?!?! Seems easy to implement...
It would be sooo nice...

PS: This is only possible in PulseAudio with the GUI installed: padevchooser

So they should become a member of the KDE Foundation too.

I would like to propose the idea of having a Tor-relay as an option in Ubuntu, with the default setting of "non-exit" operation if the user have a internet connection of 20 kilobytes/s or more.

About "non-exit" node: It basically means that the service the user is running, passes along the traffic to another tor node.
It doesnt use the users internet connection to access the "web/email/etc".
Read more here:
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RunARelayBut

Ofcourse there are security concerns but there are "remedies":
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/OperationalSecurity
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorInChroot

Everyone who are concerned over ABUSE or LEGAL matters, can read these:
Abuse: http://www.torproject.org/faq-abuse.html.en
Legal: http://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-legal-faq.html.en

The Tor blog is quite interesting:
https://blog.torproject.org/
And ofcourse their wiki is quite informative:
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter

(It should be noted that this is one of those ideas you get when you cant sleep and think, that would be amazing for freedom of the net/speech, please disregard this or get inspiration however you feel about it. I search a bit, but didnt find any ideas about tor so.. and btw sorry for my bad english)

On most people's systems this would let one double-click on a flash file, and it would open in Firefox - which presumably is set up with the right codecs.

This would make running Windows applications under Wine feel more integrated as they would look, feel and behave more like other applications in Ubuntu.

I don't necessarily propose this to be by default, but to be an option available in "Wine configuration" -> "Desktop integration" -> "Theme".

Working with archives will be easy as in Midnight Commander or in Total Commander or in Windows XP. And if it will be implemented like VFS (zip://path/archive.zip/subdirectory/file) or as kernel driver it will be easier due to be transparent to any application.

Update: If gvfs is not possible, mounting the archive could be another possible way to implement this.

Archive managers should be used only for creating archives with non common attributes, e.g. encrypted, splitted to multiple volumes (to fit DVD, CD, ZIP drive, Floppy)...

Note: When you try to drag big file out from the archive from File Roller you need to wait to fully uncompress file before releasing mouse button (once it started to uncompress it). It's bad and very annoying.

In Ubuntu the same thing become very difficult, especilly copying multiple files: you have to access to the terminal and write a command. This could be really stressing for a new user.

Could you implement the same function seen on Mac?

- Integrity check. When you select this option, Brasero will include a checksum file in the media burnt. Perhaps the file should be stored in a .brasero folder in the home directory?
- There is no integrity check for burnt image files
- When burning an audio cd from mp3s the process takes forever, anything that can be done there?
