    sudo apt-get install wesnoth-all set for a good long time :D also, sudo apt-get install wine and install it through the !emulator

    1- Get people to download a new os each boot

    Fixed.

    Bawww, someone who doesn't fit my idea of conformity! Maybe we should put everyone who writes the month first in a camp. That sounds like a great idea! Oh wait...

  4. Re:Who and Why? on Could the Internet Be Taken Down In 30 Minutes? · · Score: 1

    On one hand I think some people would want to take it down to go in history as the person who took down the Internet. On the other, they'd probably end up ripped apart by the hordes of WoW players who are forced out of their basements by the lack of Night Elf cleavage.

    God no. No more protestfags, plzkthx.

  6. Re:LMAO @ "Liberal Fascists" on New CyberSecurity Bill Raises Privacy Questions · · Score: 1

    To be fair, I think a majority of regulars on /. are libertarian.

  7. Re:I believe now is an appropriate time to cue the on New CyberSecurity Bill Raises Privacy Questions · · Score: 1

    Heh, speaking of the "too big to fail" idea, I'm always reminded of the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov, and how the Empire was "too big to fail".. until it collapsed.

  8. Re:With Apologies to Montana Max on Linux Needs Critics · · Score: 1

    Saved.

  9. Re:Oh holy fuck, how amusing and ticksy on Blizzard Shows Off Diablo III Archivist Class, WoW Dance-Off · · Score: 0, Troll

    Actually Prozac is prescribed for people who need to calm the fuck down, mr. "Oh look at me, I'm a badass on the Internet, lulerskate"

  10. Re:Oh holy fuck, how amusing and ticksy on Blizzard Shows Off Diablo III Archivist Class, WoW Dance-Off · · Score: 2, Funny

    Prozac.

  11. "Pimp your mounts" on Blizzard Shows Off Diablo III Archivist Class, WoW Dance-Off · · Score: 5, Funny

    I get a completely different image from "pimping a mount" than putting a cannon on a horse .

    Feels good, man.

    You're stuck on the tower? You're so screwed when you get to the 8 queens problem. :p

  16. Re:Don't place bets... on Fears of a Conficker Meltdown Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Though I'm also a Linux user, that's a huge pet peeve of mine from back when Mac users were like "lawl no viruses 4 me!!" Great, you use Linux. Don't need to be so pompous about it.

  17. Re:I wonder if the economy will change that back.. on RIP the Campus Computer Lab, 1960-2009 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's a big assumption thinking students can connect to the campus network. I'm using Linux and we're "not allowed" on the network without windows.

  18. Re:There aren't on RIP the Campus Computer Lab, 1960-2009 · · Score: 1

    700 is a months worth of work. I would rather eat than HAVE to buy a laptop.

  19. Add to total cost for student on RIP the Campus Computer Lab, 1960-2009 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sure, this is fine for private schools, but at a lot of public universities a large amount of students are broke and trying to pay their own way through school. Getting rid of the computer lab would be a huge handicap for them, so I just don't think this would be feasible for other campuses

  20. Re:The Children? on ACLU Sues Penn Prosecutor For Empty Threat of Child Porn · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Good God, reading that made me think of those kids in 1984. That's kind of scary. Anywho, doesn't matter how much you foster your kids, they'll do some things in private away from you. Sure, it may not be like smoking pot in a friends garage or some such, but no kid tells their parent _everything_, even the ones that are close to their family.

  21. Heh on More IT Pros Could Turn To E-Crime In Poor Economy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is kind of a duh thing, isn't it? When the economy goes south, crime of all sorts that leads to profit increases. There just happens to be a lot of people out there with enough background knowledge in IT to make a profit off of criminal acts in IT.

  22. Re:Possession? on ACLU Sues Penn Prosecutor For Empty Threat of Child Porn · · Score: 1

    Unless she used a private album with preferences set for him only. Then again, I don't think a lot of kids think that far ahead.

  23. Re:The Children? on ACLU Sues Penn Prosecutor For Empty Threat of Child Porn · · Score: 1

    How old are your kids? If they're younger than 16, give it time. If they're 16+, you may just not know about it.

    Didn't know about that, awesome. Thanks :D
