  1. Re:MUDs on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    Where do I start.... Ok.. I'm a computer tech, right? I used to have like no cash.. zilch. So I would hack local linux/unix boxs everywhere I could so I could be connected.. I learned TO much about the OS that I never realized wasen't general knowlege. I know seven people that met there current and some over eight years significant other on this mud.. "Moosehead SLED"
    One day... I think I'm going to have to write something about this intresting period of my life. :)

  2. Job was to fix them on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    I use to have a job about a year ago that was very cruel and unusual punishment. My job was a computer tech that turned into printer repair, which included deskjet printers. The parts to fix a deskjet printer were more costly then it was to fix them.. but people still wanted them fixed. I finally quit the job when HP came out with a line "I think 620c" that only came with a three year warranty from HP. And as soon as one of those suckers turned three months. Logic board would die, or power supply.. it was getting crazier and crazier. I could still smell the foam packaging on these printers and they would be coming to be with defective parts and no warranty left. Anyways, I quit that job and now work for big BLUE and loving it.

  3. 9 better then 8 for the desktop on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    Let's just hope that, unlike 8 they decided to invest some kinda way to convert mp3's to .ogg files. Not being able to run all my Very legit music was rather annoying.

    I'm stil running 7.3

  4. Not the first Barebones on Barebones Notebook · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've been dealing with a company here in Canada called Eurocom and they've been selling Barebone laptops for years now.

    I'm not affiliated with them at all.. I just buy from them now and then.

  5. Re:UK switching to Linux on New Antitrust Complaint Filed Against Microsoft · · Score: 4, Funny

    I know in many Distros already have a Tea Bag timer in it. See it was designed for the UK!

  6. UK switching to Linux on New Antitrust Complaint Filed Against Microsoft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Now if the UK gov't switched to Linux like other gov't of the world.. *drool* I could only imaging the progress that would be pushed forward!

    Some dreams come true.
    Some just stay a dream.

  7. Ethernet to the back of the head. on Going Cyberpunk · · Score: 1

    I don't care about a working computer in my brain. I just want working Ethernet out of my head and just upgrade the machinery outside of my head.

  8. Re:I skipped school!!!!!!! on So Did the Hordes Really Skip out for Episode 2? · · Score: 1

    Count Dooku explained:
    He was Yoda's Padawan who then became Quagon-Jin's Master, Quagon then taught Obi-Wan who then turned around and was the master of the fallen Anakin Skywalker.

    This was all explained in Epsiode 2, weren't you listing?

    Also, now count Dooku is now called Darth Traynis (or something close to that) as he is now the apprentice of Darth Sidious who is also know as the Emporer.

    P.S I also skipped work and saw it!

  10. The price is the REAL problem on Why Can't LEGO Click? · · Score: 1

    The problem with lego today is that the kits are so expensive. The great thing was when I was a child, that I would take the space lego kit and the medevil kit and put them together with my imagination and have fun with a it. Today people can only afford to by one $50 kit once in a while.

    I have a child now and I would love for her to play with lego and she does enjoy it. But to buy $200 worth of lego and only get a small buck worth? Forget it.

    Also, the other thing that I noticed is that lego is making things to easy. For example: Lego Pirate ship. The ship base consists of TWO very large lego pices that when put together make a ship! TWO pices! What ever happened to the 1000 pices you need just to make a decent looking stern.

  11. I own a IPAQ on On the Question of Handhelds: iPaq Best? · · Score: 1

    2. They have a realy nice lite.
    3. Memmory is easily expandable.
    4. You can play quake on it!
    5. The text is realy clean and crisp.

    Con's-
    1. The face plate is made of GLASS and if it breaks.. Like mine did. They don't replace it under warranty.
    2. Windows CE is built onto the ROM

  12. Mirrors? on Star Trek's Next Series · · Score: 1

  13. This is the artical that your talking about on Printed Embedded Data GUIs · · Score: 1

    Slashdot covered a story about Printable Computers it coveres printing out motherboards, etc.. not just memmory storage.

  14. How about using exsiting stuff? on Creating A Tiny, Free, Roaming Webcam? · · Score: 1

    You should look at stuff that already exsists.. it's not that expensive. Here is a place that sell what you are exactly looking for.

  15. Quake Ipaq Networked over infrared port! on Quake For The iPaq · · Score: 1
