a 9600GT is still a pretty good card for modern games if your around 720p (I use a 1280x1024 screen) as the fact that all modern games are made to run on consoles which had stale video cards in them on launch.
It does show how much they were raping the system and users, their cost have not gone down but wow its now much much much cheaper and yet they will still turn a profit
well fuck I guess I totally didn't have that nokia 9210 in 2001! there were plenty of pda + phone systems out pre iphone dink, just becuase you did not know about them does not mean they did not exist before your personal Jesus presented one at on a stage.
sorry I did not know we were talking about you mr self important, if you have hundreds of disc's buy a fucking jukebox like I already suggested or quit your bitching and sit down and do something productive besides rotting your life away on jackoff mindcandy
the op never specified how many disc's and not all of us are in the contest to be "first to own every dvd ever made"
besides it takes 8 min to rip a dvd on an XBOX... fastest I have seen on a sub 1ghz computer since it has dedicated hardware decrypting
reminds me of an roomate, so many fucking dvd's we could never find anything we wanted to watch and rented them off the tv... when he actually went though them we found out he bought 2 or 3 copies of many movies, but couldnt cough up the money for the phone bill
when he got fucking irate over the fact that a 20$ dupe dvd would only net him 2 bucks at the game store I ceased to be roomates with him, then he accused me of theift over MY playstation 2, then his mommy gave him a house, while I struggle to make rent in a small apartment on a concrete slab
moral of the story is that the stupid win, while the smart bust their balls for nothing... I own 3 dvd's now... and my dvd player is broken, but I need a new vaccume cleaner, and belts for my car
the best way I have found to rip dvd's is with my XBOX... yea its another stupid box but it does it flawlessly every time... though if your one of those who thing 1080P on your (LOL YEA RIGHT more like 18 inch XGA if your lucky) 42 inch TV is a big fucking deal then your stuck without blue ray
Jobs is dead, same thing happened when Jobs was booted, we ended up with very large very bloated very confusing era of apple that no one cared to understand, solely surviving on educational contracts, a few fanboi's and a few power apps that apple workstations could deliver
Jobs came back and we got cute little all in ones that looked good on your desk, and sexy towers to represent power, we got handheld devices that were not the size of a sheet of paper and less power than a IIGS (though fuck jobs on the IIGS that should have been released much sooner), Apple people are about bigger better and beefier, it was Jobs and his asshole making things sleek sexy and appealing to the masses.
I kind of doubt that, your not going to get very far from the atmosphere with random scattered noise, atmospheric bounce is something people tend to forget about when talking about sending random radio waves off into space, which is why it takes a pretty specific effort to do it currently.
yes its not their fault what so ever as millions of rusting, smoking, oil leaking fishing boats head out to spew diesel directly into the water every single day as they dragnet every single thing from a hundreds of square miles.
Considering the op is talking about commercial cd roms and movie dvd's I fail to see your point my little troll, he is not making a mass storage backup device for personal information, just a way to automate his ridiculous dvd collection
Googling for cd rom jukebox first hit in shopping is a 100 disc cd/dvd jukebox with usb and dasychainable for ~150 bucks each. other than that ISO's and a fat NAS
I dunno about the op but on my 2.5ghz dual core with 4 gigs of ram and a 1 gig nvidia9600GT it jitters, and on my 2.4 ghz 1 gig ati laptop its unusable, and I rather like consistency between my desktops
odd you mention scrollbars, one of my annoyances with mint 11 (along with widgets just fuck up for no reason on reboot, but not the next time) is that on some menus there are no scroll bars! you move you mouse near where a scrollbar was and a very tiny sliver of a scrollbar and a little up/down tab appears that your suposta grab with your mouse.
I sort of like mint... but they are really no better than most distros, just fucking with shit, just to fuck with it and BAM now I have 3 machines that apon reboot either the clock, window bar or notification area's crash and I am asked to delete them, and on next boot it might be fine, scroll bars are missing, and for some fucking odd reason I cant burn anything except coasters in my dvd drive.
SO I am rolling back to 10 as I get time free, and not really interested in 12 at all.
I try and try to like LXDE, but it just feels half assed and mostly broken compared to XFCE, even stupid things in LXDE are a pain in the ass like setting the clock or putting a trashcan on your desktop. I am pretty sure if you have any annoyance (even non consequential) with LXDE its already fixed in XFCE, and its just as light and fast... and with either as soon as you add one gnome library that all goes down the john.
At my last company we hated IT, because they were arrogant lazy fucks that could not do the simplest of things without drawing it out for week to months until finally you gave up or snapped.
At my current company we have no problems with IT, many of us are buddies, we know they are actually trying and when shit does happen, they may not jump on our case INSTANTLY we do know that someone will be there in a reasonable amount of time to help us with our issues. They also actually listen to what people have to say, and often get them involved even if its in a token presence.
obviously your machine was not high end, servers and workstations regularly came with 128 megs and a price to match, not a 95 machine but my powermac 9600 workstation which was brand spanking new in 97 and had a base cost of 7 grand had 256 megs shoved into it and can support 1.5 gigs total
but they wont because some scifi of the 1940-60's has beaten it into everyone's skull that Mars is the only place to go in the universe, meanwhile we cant spend a dime on titan, that would just be stupid

they have the money to buy shit dumb fucks.

let me shed a tear for them.

yea that helped for less than a year, and with no long term view at all
what about drm and prove you own the disc?

That will teach me for being responsible

we all know its not going to cost 98 bil and be done in ~21 years, these be union jobs, we will all be dead before its even functional at 16x the cost

tools in a DE is problem #1 with DE's, if I want tools I will install them, not hope KDE or GNOME shoehorns some shitty implementation of it
