The newest Kubuntu (with KDE4) was way too bloated for my poor, old laptop. I've been looking around for something more lightweight since. I'm kind of leaning toward Mepis, but am not quite sure yet. When it comes to a 1.2ghz CPU and only 512mb of RAM, things get sticky. Add-in the fact that there's also all of these weird, proprietary onboard components and things become an utter pain.
Next time, perhaps you should try marrying someone with similar tastes.
Furthermore, why not just sign-up for two accounts? Is the price of having two "one-at-a-time" accounts that disproportionate to the price of one "two-at-a-time" account?
I really hope that all of these people do quit because of this subtle omission of features. Maybe then I can stop being hit by "Very long Wait" tags throughout my queue.
I thought "because it's cheaper than buying twenty-four films a month" was a good enough excuse reason. I have the three-at-a-time plan however, so I generally manage to get two batches a week if I send them back the same day.;)
I agree. There really needs to be a way to disable the Awful Bar. It's an annoying feature. If I wanted to search through my Bookmarks, I'd go there and search. I don't want to use my address bar for anything outside of typing in addresses and keeping a drop-down of the ones I visit often. I've never liked auto complete as is, and the so-called Awesome Bar only makes such a feature worse.
I've tried the "Old Bar" plug-in, but it only sets the visual aspects back. While this is a start, I'm much more worried about the actual usage than I am the visuals. I don't like how large and obtrusive the Awesome Bar's drop down is however.:P
Does it matter either way? I always have a gun behind the door and in various drawers throughout the house. If someone is trespassing, it is best to assume that they want trouble. If not, then you are naive and that may come back to bite you one day. Your first reaction shouldn't generally be to shove a gun in someones face, but having one on hand is always for the best. Furthermore, if you want, having one on hand in in plain sight (say in a shoulder holster) is even better. That way, you don't have people claiming to "accidentally" be trespassing while in actuality they are sniffing around, planning to come back and rob you later. It's a subtle show of force that makes dicking with you not worth the time and trouble.
I'm still waiting on Snake Eater to come out on the PC... That's the only way I ever managed to play Sons of Liberty. I had played the original Metal Gear Solid on the PSX, PC, and the GameCube (as the Twin Snakes remake). Come to think of it, it's kind of a shame that the Wii hasn't seen some kind of Metal Gear game yet, considering Snake is in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It'd be nifty to see Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 (localized, of course), and Snake's Revenge hit the Virtual Console!
You assume too much. I don't live within a city myself, precisely because I don't like to be bothered by other people and the rules and regulations that come along with them. I simply state that my lifelong observation has been that rural voters generally care more about non-threatening social issues than they do economical ones that directly effect them.
Besides, I wasn't trolling and shouldn't be marked as such. At best you should argue that I should be modded "Overrated". Trolls aren't simply people that you disagree with.:P
Conversely, most rural voters don't know how to help themselves and ultimately vote for the candidate that will keep them in poverty. It's always a sad scene around here.
You and the people you know need to stop breeding then! The world is already over populated as-is. Geeze. Not only are you an inconsiderate SUV driver, but also popping out more little wastes of gray matter to crowd the planet.
I'd suggest you get an old Subaru wagon, not some wanna-be rugged, suburban commando vehicle. Those things are for driving little kids to soccer practice, not getting through the snow. The four wheel drive on each and every modern SUV is a complete and utter joke. Besides, if there's that much snow out, why would you even want to risk driving around in anything?
There are already plenty of laws that cover bullying, just not specifically.
Really though, all one needs to do to counteract real bullying is to retaliate with equal amounts of physical violence. That usually ends bullying real quick. It's best to get that out of your system anyway, as beating the shit out of assholes will get you arrested once you grow up.;)
Exactly. Maybe these dumb little kids wouldn't have such problems if they stayed off of retarded sites like MySpace. The problem in this situation is obviously the whiny kid being "bullied", who will later do nothing but sink our society even further due to their unwillingness to deal with reality.
For $15 a month, I can just rent regularly from NetFlix, pirating about thirty films per month. The trick is to send all three films back the very day they arrive, that way you can get two batches a week.;)
It's basically auto-complete, but impossible to disable. Furthermore, isntead of keeping addresses that I actually typed into the address bar, it shows frequented sites. That is stupid. I have a bookmarks folder for a reason, it can be searched. Take away the awesome bar!
I'd rather they punish all the people wasting countless hours and ungodly amounts of bandwidth watching crap like YouTube videos, thus allowing me to continue downloading.
I hear you. For a time, I lived in the very southern tip of the state, just across the river from Kentucky in a little place called Portsmouth. It was actually the county seat of Scioto County, but was decayed and decrepti as far as towns go. Anyway, we always used to joke about the denizens having the "Portsmouth Look". If you've ever read H.P. Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" then you'd know what the pun signifies; a complete and utter lack of jaw and/or chin. It's sad, but true.
I have plenty of issues with "city folk" as well, so any location can be a double edged sword. I can put up with the occasional banjo dueler though if it means that I live out in the middle of nowhere. I don't like being able to see or be seen by my neighbors, likewise I don't like having to listen to vehicles passing by and such.
I don't live in Dayton myself, so I'd actually tend to agree. I visit family up in that area however, so I know a little about the surroundings. I prefer the country setting of the southeast part of the state, myself.;)
I don't think that Pizza Hut's pizza is too bad. It's that thin, crispy crust that makes pizza taste like cardboard. All of the grease from pork products does nothing to help the flavor either...
If you're ever in Ohio, passing through Dayton, make a detour and stop in Yellow Springs. There's a place there called Ha Ha Pizza. It is honestly the best pizza I've ever had, by far. Also, it's all organic to boot! You want soy cheese? They have that too.;)
Outside of a few shining moments of wit in the writing, the game offers nothing in the way of real fun. It's sad, and at the same time very surprising. You'd think that after making fun of bad games for years, the Penny Arcade guys would know how to avoid developing one themselves.

I don't see why. They're one of the largest presences within the Beta Quadrant.

Don't worry, Macs are twice the price of real computers here in America as is. Apple rips everyone off, not just Europeans. ;)

Only because we, as a species, don't have the balls to subject ourselves to stupid experiments. We force other living creatures to do it for use.

To be fair, I did find that the LEGO Star Wars games were fairly amusing. I just wish that there were a little more depth to the gameplay.
