Links: Notes:  Some viewers in the chat were asking what the "red thing" on our shirts is. It's a poppy pin. Every November 11th, Canadians pay tribute to fallen soldiers. World War I ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month 90 years ago. The poppy has been used as a symbol on and around Remembrance Day, to pay tribute to those who have given their lives for our freedom.
With respect to the dpkg problem, Popey mentioned the following command: dpkg remove --purge virtualbox It was asked in the chat room, so here's the answer: The song used during the Jawbone feature was actually Robbie's wife Bekah singing "Baby Jesus" from the soulcleansed CD "'tis tha season". Cinerella - Use the following to correct the memory error at program launch: sudo su
