  1. What worked for me... on Geeks and Weight-loss? · · Score: 1

    Was the Dr. Atkins Diet.
    No Carbs, at all.
    Eggs and bacon for breakfast, lunch meat for lunch, and steak and a veggie for dinner.
    I went from about 250 to 180 in about a year, losing about 50 the first 4 months or so.
    People say its bad on your liver, but as long as your semi-healthy, it won't hurt you.

  2. I always sign up as on What to Do When Company Breaks Privacy Agreement? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Root@wherever_im_signing_up_at.com and hope that they run a unix.

  3. My lab... on Correcting Common Linux Misconceptions? · · Score: 1

    My school got some used computers, and wanted me to setup them up with with windows for 2 labs. One lab needed it, because some of the computers already there had linux, but for the other lab, I got to use Linux.
    Basically, I convinced the admin. by setting up Redhat and KDE, and showing it to him. First words out of his mouth where "That looks like a mac!" I said how would you like to save 250$ a computer on licenses? How would you like Word for free? How would you like almost everything for free? So, he let me set it up.
    My lab is now running with 30 p1 200's with 32 megs of Ram, running Redhat 7.1 XFS +IceWM +netscape. They just use them for webbrowsing, which is a shame, BUT, hopefully by next year, they can see the beauty of it, and let me install KDE or Gnome and Openoffice or Applixware.
    I made it impossible for them to turn them off without logging in as root, and impossible to logout of X, or just about anything. I can't waite to see if any get hacked.

  8. I wired my house on Wiring A New House? · · Score: 1

    Cat-5 and 2 10bastT hubs. One is a Linksys 8 port, the Cable modem comes into it, and then to my Freesco router. Which then goes to the 12port hub. That is then connected to all my drops. I have a coax drop in my room + 2 nonworking cat 5 drops (They worked, then quit, no clue why), a drop in my sisters room, and a drop in my moms office. Thats it, It works and gets the job done.

  11. One thing on Making Linux Look Harder Than It Is · · Score: 1

    THat I feel needs to be fixed,
    is that sometimes GUI tools don't do what they are supposed to, or don't give errors.
    I was trying to get samba working in redhat 7.2, and the frontend I used was the only I could find, I forget the name, and It said "click here to do such and such" and you would click, and nothing.
    Nothing would happpen, no errors, no nothing.
    I've came along a few mystery programs in the start menu, that you click, and nothing comes up WTF! atlease give me an error and say you can't find the damned program.

  12. Don't use AMD on Suggestions for Someone Building an Artist's PC? · · Score: 0, Informative

    For this,
    Intel is much faster, they have a faster Math Co-proc or something like that, and can do all of the calculations for pictures and stuff much faster. Atleast thats what I've been told

  13. Actually, What I've been wondering.. on Why ADCo? · · Score: 1

    How limited is Cable Internet?
    I have RoadRunner, and get 500k a sec from Redhat mirrors.
    But, What happens if everyone had it?
    Would alot of new cable have to be ran, or is there a way to use different wavelengths on the wires or something.

  15. Well... on On the Problems with Laptops in School? · · Score: 1

    You could give them to my school,
    But seriously,
    you could run linux, then create a cron job that would Chmod 000 all of the apps that aren't supposed to be being used, than Chmod 777 them back after hours. No one will know how to get around it, unless they can hack, and then they deserve to use it.

  18. I have an idea on NASA Chooses Pluto Mission · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    How much could it really cost to build this thing? 2-3 hundred million?
    MAKE MICROSOFT PAY!!!
    And make it run linux!
    I think that it would help science enough,
    and punish microsoft enough.

  19. Yeah.. on Who Wants To Be An Oregonian? · · Score: 1

    I used to have ( I Just pitched them) a set of cd's with every persons name Phone Number and address in the continental US.
    They were old, like from the 80's, so they didn't really have much info I could use, but they had like 200million names, or something equally insane, incase I ever wanted to become a telemarketer or send out Junkmail

  20. There is this magical thing... on IRC Clients with VI Keybindings? · · Score: 2, Insightful
