yeah ubuntu/kubuntu is pretty cool and easy. every linux nerd has his own opinion on which is the best. Had a classmate in high school who swore by Gentoo, and another friend now who loves FreeBSD. Last year, I did some research at a lab where every PC ran Debian. but ubuntu is...

meanwhile the Northeast got over 20" of snow on Saturday, and they're expecting just as much again today. Winter X-games were exciting as always. lookin forward to cheering on many of the same people again in the olympics

missile defense is important.... gotta get the chemical oxygen iodine laser implemented before Iran and North Korea have missiles. and the best part about COIL is that we can make it look like an accident "oh no! it must have burned up on re-entry"

You're completely fucking wrong, spike. Those evil schoolteachers were trying to fill the little kiddies' heads with a bunch of nonsense and lies. Last I heard, they were teaching Satan's curriculum. Evolution instead of creationism? Big Bang Theory instead of Intelligent Design? They might...

Re: Apple's iPad, another coup by Stevie? Can you type as fast on the blackberry as on a regular keyboard?

I think the Colts are gonna win. Saints really struggled against the Vikings, and only won on turnovers. If Peyton can keep the ball in Colt hands, he's got it in the bag. i wonder how many GoDaddy girl commercials there will be... those are getting obnoxious.

Re: Apple's iPad, another coup by Stevie? I disagree. IMO, the demands that the average user throws at their PC has not caught up to the newest hardware. I have an Atom netbook that I use very often, and I can throw multimedia and web stuff at it with no problems. Only thing I *have* to use...

"Per aspera ad astra" not anymore! forget about aeronautics and space, and get started on making fake global warming data for Al Gore's next powerpoint

it's not the floor mats, its the throttle assembly itself. afaik, the floormats were just a scapegoat to make people feel like toyota had solved the problem. replacing throttles is a lot more $$$ than zip-tieing floor mats.

found an image that sums it up pretty good. for $200 i have a 10" nextbook that is smaller and lighter than a standard size hardcover novel, with 3 hours battery, and all PC functionality. Or, for only $300 more, I could have an overgrown ipod touch that has some decent multimedia...

It's a change, but it's a change in the wrong direction. Unions shouldn't be able to finance campaigns either.

I agree. I really don't understand the people that support this new ruling. Do you want your decisions made by politicians who have received large amounts of money from a corporation that could stand to benefit from those decisions? Speech isn't the same thing as money. This is bribery, but in...

Well, an update. Been using the fridge all year and I'm pretty happy with it. It's been cranked on the coldest setting, and while I certainly wouldn't put raw meat or something very temperature sensitive in there for a long amount of time, it's great for keeping drinks and leftover pizza...

I watched the full "Loose Change" - the one that's like an hour and a half or two hours. So much bullshit in that. I got sick of it. Seriously, the next person who tells me "Jet Fuel burns at blah blah blah degrees, and steel doesn't melt until blah blah blah blah degrees" I am going to slap...

no, it causes crashes in vista 64 iirc I made godmode last week on on my 64-bit win7 install. it's been working fine. thanks for the shortcut tho... network connections is indeed in God Mode, I just hadn't taken the time to read thru the options.

the control panel "classic" view is gone. That's my gripe with win7. To get to actual network adapter settings is such a PITA now. All of the options either show me all wireless networks in range, or give me a little cartoon telling me that my PC isn't connected to the internet. It's hard to...

It's now been 4 months on Windows 7, and I'm still pretty happy with it. Machine still runs well.

I have been running Win7 on my machine for over 3 months. Seems much faster and more stable than Vista. vs. XP, more of a toss-up. XP is much more minimalist compared to Win7. I'm running XP on my netbook with a lot of stuff disabled/removed for speed. If you've got a 2GHz or better...

frankly I am upset with how having 60 senators has gone to the democrats' heads. i think it was Franklin or Jefferson who said "democracy dies when 51% of people realize that they can vote themselves money" it's gone from "let's introduce fair legislation then adjust the terms until a...
