I'm also a senior-level .NET developer, but I'm also pretty accomplished with Linux (Nearly 10 years). (But so what?)

Anyway, I ran into the same thing with the Ubuntu install CD. It really really sucks that they didn't test it on more hardware. However, what fixes it in about 90% of the installs that result in a kernel panic is simply adding "IDE=NODMA" to the boot parameters. (To do that, on the first menu that comes up after booting from the CD, hit F6 to bring up the boot parameters, get rid of the '--' on the end [Never did figure out what '--' is suppose to mean, anyone know?] and add IDE=NODMA to the end.) For some reason, the Ubuntu installer is trying to access the CD with something messed up in the Direct Memory Access (DMA).

However, I've still found the normal Ubuntu installation to be so problematic on some machines that if I have any problems, I switch over to the ubuntu-server iso and do the installation from that instead (Still doing the IDE=NODMA thing with that). You end up with a text-only install of Ubuntu, but can fix that once it's installed with 'sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop'.

I really like Ubuntu once it's installed, but the actual installation is a huge pain. (What's funny is that it installs under Microsoft Virtual Server with absolutely no problems (Other than having to tweak /etc/X11/xorg.conf to drop the color depth down to 16 from the default 24 since Virtual Server doesn't support higher than 16 bit color, so your initial install looks all screwy.) which I thought would lead to more problems that installing on a physical machine.)

I'd also edit /etc/apt/sources.list and get rid (or comment out) the line that starts with 'deb cdrom:', and make sure the lines right below starting with 'deb http' and 'deb-src http' are NOT commented out, that way it get's it's updates from the net rather than the local CD which is occasionally flaky as well. Come to my Linux Messagebase if you have more questions.

My family is the decendants of an ancient Welsh selective breeding/genetic modification program nearly 1000 years ago to breed a better warrior. Our name, Kimball, is from the Welsh 'Cyne-Boldt' which means 'bold warrior' (Also translates to 'Stone Chief', but not really sure what that's supposed to mean.) which is the name given to those who participated in the program, which ended when the damned Anglo-Saxons took over Wales long ago.

Nowadays we are based in Nebraska, pretty much all of us are over 6 feet tall (even the women!) with the tallest being 6'11", most of high intelligence.

To make sure we remain healthy, we celebrate an old Welsh ritual, "Rhannu yr hen Ddihenydd" (Sharing of the Ancient Days) when a child reaches its first birthday where the family gets together and shares in eating foul substances (such as used cat litter) along with the yearling child, to promote a strong, healthy immune system.

Presence of Fluoridation "Coincidental" with Repression and Racial Tyranny

        When you consider that the part of the brain most affected by the fluoride ion is the Hippocampus, and that the Hippocampus is heavily involved in decision-making, motivation and ability to "challenge" threats (or for that matter tyranny), thus inducing compliance with "authority", it is no surprise that in the United States, all military bases and Indian Reservations are heavily fluoridated, and in another fluoridated country, Australia, all aboriginal water supplies are heavily fluoridated, it becomes quite apparent that fluoridation is "coincidentally" used in programs of racial suppression.

Actually, i use Segoe UI for everything.

I have it set as Firefox's default font. I use it in my Winamp Playlist. It's my font for AIM. Looks great in titlebars. Creates very smooth looking tect on icons and the such. In fact' I'd recommend it for just about anything. All you have to do is turn on ClearType and tweak it. Bam. Good to go. I dunno how it looks to you, but it looks smooth to me.

Here's a couple screenies I took for ya. Agree or disagree; I still like it.

Floride makes you complacent and submissive.

I find this article sums up why this mad dash to free market globalisation will just drag the whole world to a far lesser way of life.

Partial excerpt:

1. There is no such thing as a "free market."

2. The "middle class" is the creation of government intervention in the marketplace, and won't exist without it (as millions of Americans and Europeans are discovering).

The conservative belief in "free markets" is a bit like the Catholic Church's insistence that the Earth was at the center of the Solar System in the Twelfth Century. It's widely believed by those in power, those who challenge it are branded heretics and ridiculed, and it is wrong.

In actual fact, there is no such thing as a "free market." Markets are the creation of government.

The concept of a free market is absurd. Don't buy into the bullshit.

Looking through the logs for my website, I see Googlebot visiting nearly every day, followed (recently) by MSNBot. (Actually, in raw count, I'm seeing that MSNbot has just recently surpassed the number of requests as Googlebot. Would need to do some in-depth analysis to see if those are requests for the same thing over & over, but in raw requests...) I pretty much never see anything from Yahoo cataloging my site.

What's weird I'm noticing is that I don't see anything from something like a Yahoo bot at http://klomdark.servebeer.com:443/analog/report.ht ml#browsum, but Yahoo is giving more traffic (http://klomdark.servebeer.com:443/analog/report.h tml#refsite) than MSN.

Google still leads however. I wonder where Yahoo is getting it's data, unless it's from a crawl previous to fall 2003, as I'm not tracking logs from that far back. Strange.

Thanks to blender's python interface, you can write import/export scripts for just about any format. This guy has written the exporter you're looking for... along with an OBJ exporter, quake2 md2, quake3 md3, and doom3.

Off topic, but you might want to see this - pictures of a guy eating out of the litterbox, then even worse - feeding cat litter to a baby. What is the world coming to?

You didn't read the article I linked to, did you?

Uh, unchecked capitalism? A naturally occuring free market doesn't exist.

.....like this one.

Only through modern misconceptions, it could be Heinlein's concept of a six-dimensional universe, thus 6^6^6 places to explore. Or it could be that we've been deceived, and it's "Six Hundred Sixty-Six but not 666".

Hell fuck no.

Just because the gay agenda is trying to foist this bullshit about "gay is normal", I ain't buying it. Kudo's to Will for not running with the "Gay is OK" herd.

See "Sick Fags" for a better argument...

Mirrored the spolier synopsis here

Excerpt from an interesting article about the whole 666 thing:

Isolated down to the single verse of interest the translated Biblical text in question is: "This calls for wisdom: let anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred sixty-six" (Rev 13:18, NRSV).

The purpose of this study is not to add to the enormous literature about the apocalyptic images and this number. Entire books have been written on this subject[1]. Rather this study will concentrate only on the representation of the number six hundred sixty-six, arguing that to represent it as 666 (triple six) is an error. Such a representation can mislead modern readers towards false interpretations. It is a severely anachronistic representation.

Bullcrap, there are a few of us weirdos who like writing documentation... It's still hard work, and I prefer to get paid for it, but...

See my Top 100 list for most of my documentation...

The original Commodore tape system recorded the data twice and added a CRC checksum according to this site (see "Storage" all the way down). This resulted in an overall speed of 300 Baud. Both parts were read in and compared, a difference resulted in a LOAD ERROR.
Later on, clever programmers developed fastloaders. The first thing they did, was to drop the redundancy, resulting in 50% loading speed increase. I owned a CBM8032, though the tape system is the same. It took 20 minutes to load a big chess program, so I stopped the tape after 11 minutes or so and ran the program anyway.

Dorks that call it 'Linnux' are of the same lame breed that talk about 'porno' instead of using the more manly term 'porn'

hehe, I'm selling a car from the same year as that UnixPC. The amazing thing is that it has only crashed once in that period of time (it was the deer's fault, i swear), talk about stable. It still runs great, just like your UnixPC. 110HP ought be enough for anybody.

This poor box, with all of 16 megs RAM (and a kick-ass swap file!) is now running:

- A CircleMUD-based MUD (telnet klomdark.servebeer.com port 4000)
- A Citadel BBS (telnet to klomdark.servebeer.com)
- Apache (With some cool stuff listed here...)
- A Mailserver (both SMTP and POP3) (Email me...)

It CAN be done, but this distribution would have sure come in handy! But, an old copy of RedHat 7.0/i386 worked just fine, once I actually located an ISA network card that it knew how to deal with :) )

Insane installation - took nearly 16 hours to install it. Nearly 4 hours to compile Apache. Probably 8 hours to compile Citadel, and another 8 to compile CircleMUD. (I would have thought Apache would take the longest...)
