  1. you have too much time on Windows 8 Is 'a Work of Art.' But It's No Linux · · Score: 1

    "What is it about Linux that makes me so excited to use it"

    you have to much time to faf about getting your OS to do something useful rather than doing something useful with your OS, thats what.

  2. Re:I dont care if you call it Radio on NASA "Mohawk Guy" To Host Radio Show · · Score: 1

    why AC why

    rolls eyes?

    cause anyone with a phone line can upload a podcast, thats the same as being somewhat significant enough to warrant even 10 seconds of real time live broadcast even on AM radio?

    yea I am stupid happy anyone can have a voice, but anyone's voice is useless in a sea of noise, hince why people seek out beacons, those beacons happen to be in realtime radio where people still go out of their way to listen to someone speak when they speak, instead of downloading a mp3 and calling at a cute name at leisure.

    your social behavior is monitored for the severely unlikely event your in a emergency situation 24/7 instead of requesting for help

  5. I dont care if you call it Radio on NASA "Mohawk Guy" To Host Radio Show · · Score: 2

    if its internet only its a live stream or a podcast, for it to be a radio show it needs to be broadcast on ... I dunno RADIO?

    any moron can stream audio on the internet, its not quite the same as fighting for limited air time.

  12. Re:Circumcision on US Doctors Back Circumcision · · Score: -1, Troll

    and the fact that some people paied a tiny percentage of their 1950's paycheck and never set anything aside for themselves and rack up thousands in medical bills while drawing another few thousand every month just cause they made it to the ripe age of useless.

    Same here, the only thing I still huff about is scissors but over time have learned to use them right handed... and I wear my watch on my left hand, why not, I write, eat, smoke with the left hand its not anti anything to flick your wrist to see what time it is on the hand you use the most.

    the article dances around it but it just sounds like the body shell was 3d printed, so when they say "most of it actually is" they really mean "the biggest part you see is"

    great for you, arch isnt the only distro that does that

    and I like how you went from one end of the spectrum to the other, did you try anything in the middle or do you just like being extreme?

  19. Re:Why is "easy to install" for "newbies"? on Arch Linux For Newbies? Manjaro Is Here! · · Score: 1

    I never tweak my systems, I install it and actually use it

    "It takes a good workday to build an archsystem from scratch, but from there on it just works until I upgrade my computer, and I really cannot say that about ubuntu."

    yea ok you cant say that about ubuntu, you dont spend a day fiddle dicking with tweaking an OS that if you move it to a new machine will fuck up ... I have a USB drive with ubuntu 9 on it that gets used to back peoples stuff up, not a live disk its been ran on everything from a pentium 2 to I7 laptops and I never had to touch a single thing.

    computer collectors routinely take their mobo's out and run them through the dishwasher (I personally wouldn't do it without distilled water but whatever), so yea I guess the manfac's have been missing a marketing point

    I have a 3 button logitech serial mouse that was a few years old when I got it in 1990, still works fine
    I also have random stuff from them from keyboards to mice to game controllers, always seems like a safe bet at a slightly more than reasonable price + for many many years ALL of the OEM people sent out their computers with logitech gear (granted in different colors and silkscreens)

  24. Every keyboard is washable on Logitech Releases Washable Keyboard · · Score: 4, Insightful

    just use a screw driver, still takes about 8 hours to dry and your not sitting there wondering if your not holding a blob of water under the spacebar that will fry the encoder
