I combined all my stations which my wife hates to one station under pandora which she can uncheck. She is not completely happy with the arrangement. What shall I do?
My wife hates;
* Dolores O'Riordan
* Lisa Gerrard
* Christina Perri
I think they would make a great Pandora station? What say you?
What would be a good station name?

What "radio" stations? What "artists"?
What would you call it?
Would your wife agree?

Attended a lecture by my former Professor; he quoted this from Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland':
Alice comes across a fork in the road, and talks to the Cheshire Cat.
Alice: 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
Cheshire Cat: `That depends a good deal on where you want to get to'.
Alice: `I don't much care where--'.
Cat: `Then it doesn't matter which way you go'.
Alice: `--so long as I get somewhere'.
Cat: `Oh, you're sure to do that, if you only walk long enough'.
A philosophical question: How many times have we tried to switch, before going 'long enough'?
Well, in my younger days, a number of times. With age, this has reduced.

That doesn't take into account the fact that Alice was on an island. 
|
|
|
|
|
Well, the Professor cleverly chose not to reveal this fact.

The Professor didn't want Maryann to get away.

"Don't you mean the English story, the Cheshire cat?"
"Cheshire? No sir. Minsk, perhaps."

I suspect my two ex-wives could answer that question better than I.

Well, if we really have to be philosophical:

Wow. Circular reference

Well, that's what philosophers do: they make a couple of blasé, intelligent-sounding-but-ultimately-childish statements, then spend the rest of their lives referring back to them as if they were the word of god.

The message seems off to me. 'tried to switch' implies that the act of 'switching' was unsuccessful. I want to take that other path, but perhaps an obstacle blocks the path.
Depending on the context, I have switched trades/professions twice, relationships 5 times, and marital status just once. 'Long enough' generally means, when something better comes along.

Agree.
'Tried to switch' is not correct. 'Switched' is better.
There was a joke someone said: On a passenger flight, nearing the destination, the pilot announces 'We're trying to land the aircraft'. One can imagine how much tension that would that cause inside.

Just finished running it on the missus' machine, and it didn't even notice that itunes was installed.
When did it become so rubbish at its job?

So...you've annoyed the Linux fans, and now you're trying for the Apple Fanboise?
iTunes isn't a virus.
Viruses work better.

Make sure you don't touch your machine as you drench it in oil and set it ablaze! And while you get rid of the infected/possessed machine, you know there's someone who put it on there as well...

I set up a bootable USB stick drive (call it Stick #1) and loaded it up with ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and then booted up with it (using the "try" option), but I can't seem to get another FAT32 formatted (call it Stick #2) recognized. All I want to do is to copy some of the files off of Stick #2 onto the system hard drive (which shows up as "main"). Thanks

Have you tried uninstalling it and installing Windows?

I have Windows 7 installed, and set up a stick drive with the ubuntu as a boot device (i.e., via Universal USB installer), and booted from there. Neither Windows nor ubuntu recognizes the USB - but the BIOS does recognize when the ubuntu stick is attached, so there is no hardware issue. I need to run a driver EXE to get Windows to recognize it, but I first need to get that driver file onto the hard drive - that's all I need to do!

Have you tried mounting it manually?
[pause whilst I Google the commands -- I don't do this every day]
sudo mkdir /media/dirname
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/dirname -o uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137
replace "dirname" with whatever you want to call your mount directory.
[edit]
I forgot to mention that manually mounted parts have to be manually unmounted:
sudo umount /media/external
