This is where a little sound clip from the Simpsons cartoon comes in handy.
Find any two-second clip of Nelson saying "Ha Ha!" and email it to fools that destroy things after neglecting your advice. It'd be even better to find a little flash clip of Nelson pointing and laughing, it'd add insult to injury.

Why not use something that journals and has a little more speed, like reiserfs or ext3? I'd imagine xfs would be a poor choice if you're shooting for pure transfer rates.
Yeah, less than zero, like negative one or negative two. I.e. it's inconceivable that even one person would fall for it. It was an attempt at humor and evidently it escaped you. Put the t-square down and go get some fresh air.:)
The best one I've found for SNES games and some Playstation 1 games is the Microsoft Sidewinder Plug 'n Pray USB Gamepad. Since I don't have windows anywhere I had to find a pad that works under linux, and this one does the trick. A modprobe sidewinder and modprobe joydev and it's ready to go. Plus you can find them cheap ($20 or less).
I still have yet to find the *perfect* snes or psx controller. Even the original snes controller sucked, but the playstation controller is perfect for nearly anything.

Yeah, and it's a shame that they don't mention or have screenshots of Nethack:Falconseye. Probably the best looking mod while keeping the formula exactly the same.
Let's break it down here. We're talking an extreme version of normal. Can you name 5 people that:
1. Sleep in a hyperbaric chamber because they're paranoid about getting diseases?
2. Lives in a gigantic mansion and invites children over to 'spend the night'?
3. Wears a paper mask in public to avoid disease (actually so people won't see their rotten prosthetic nose-tip)?
4. Purchased the bones to the Elephant Man for millions of dollars?
5. Changes the underlying structure of their face as often as you and I change socks?
6. Has a complete farce of a marriage that involves zero emotion? Ok well we'll let this one slide.
I'd say he's pretty far from normal, downright insane actually. I liked him better when he was black and somewhat more sane. I kinda wish he'd overdose on pills or something now.
Yeah, these images look pretty sweet, takes me back to the olden tymes when a digitized, hires black and white picture on the commodore 64 looked exactly like this.
I wanted to take you seriously until I noticed all your info at the top: "by Faggot (choads.gay@com) on Tuesday November 26, @05:34PM (#4763431) (User #614416 Info | http://gay.com/) "
If you couldn't take the time to fill out some decent info, how can I take your points seriously? It's like a politician going to a debate in a clown suit.
And on that note, I think I can sue/bill advertisers on websites and spammers for wasting my bandwidth. I didn't request their service but they shoved it down my throat, so it's time for them to pay me back.
Not only should the bill include time spent downloading images/junk mail but punitive damages for hurting my feelings. All those emails about viagra really made me upset. How do they know I can't get it up? How dare them! I'll throw in my bill for therapy as well.
(note to trolls: I really can get it up, this is just a facetious example.)
Don't get too excited, winxp, win98 and freebsd don't boot yet. Freebsd needs PIRQ support while XP and 98 are held back by the lack of adequate ATA support. In the future they expect to have it worked out.
Dude, LISTEN to yourself. Who wants to spend Christmas Day troubleshooting computers? NOBODY.
Now go drink some eggnogg and take a nap by the fire. Don't even touch your computer on Christmas. The day after Christmas is full of tech support hours, but Christmas is for gifts, family, caroling, hilarity involving methane gas and your younger cousins, etc.
Just keep in mind who you've helped in the past and what they do for a living. Maybe some favor swapping is in order for you. Dentist uncle? Free fillings or root canals! Car Salesman dad-in-law? Huge discounts on that Acura MDX you need! Crazy cat-loving aunt? Free fur for that new winter coat!
You must be doing something special to be getting rich from $10.50 an hour, which is the going rate for tech support in this country. Maybe you work here but have a house in Thailand or something so your money is making you rich in another currency.
ROFL! Bahahahah you know how many times I've heard this one...even when I used to install cable modems.
"This computer should be allright, we got it about what...4 years ago? Still works fine. What? What's a USB port? I know this thing is a Pentium 2...200 or somethin'." Those were always the worst.
I live by a strict beer payment plan for relatives. If they want tech support, they have to keep bringing me beers until the job is finished. It has to be my beer of choice, and if it requires a trip to the liquor store, so be it.
See, nobody loses. I get piss drunk if their computer is seriously hosed, and by then, I'm usually at the point where I say "This looks really bad, you're about to lose all your saved stuff, time to format and reinstall". Luckily, having magical foresight that dealing with years of windows-using relatives has brought me, all their important stuff is on different partitions that isn't going to get wiped.
Tell all your relatives to buy big hard drives and a copy of Partition Magic. When a problem comes up tell them to format C and run their install cd. Problem solved.
She doesn't need root access to install RPM packages in Mandrake. All you have to do is add her to the urpmi group (urpmi is mandrake's rpm thingy). Once that's done, she has no idea she has a *little* root-ish access and she can install anything she wants.
No time to install your kernel source so you can rebuild the.src.rpm? Please. You have time to type here, you have time to install a single rpm. Give me a break. If you really want it easy, go snooping around with google, I'm sure at least one person has built the nvidia drivers for Redhat 8 for lazy n00bs like you.:)
You need to hit irc.openprojects.net. Most, if not all, of the ops are fair and nice guys, and you'll meet alot of knowledgable people there. I'm in #mandrake once in a great while.

#3: A couple million people using Linux as their preferred desktop is nothing to sneeze at. Think about how many were doing so 3 years ago. It's doing pretty well for a youngster. There must be SOME valid reasons for people to switch.
#4: "I know I personally don't have time to support apps I write, and you folks probably don't either. " This, friend, is why you rely on the delicate art of documenting your work. The better docs you have, the less 'dumb' or obvious questions you'll get. The support may be lacking, but at least it exists in some form or another. 95% of windows users turn to friends or relatives to help them fix shit, 95% of linux users get online and ask people or read docs. It's all relative.
Wacky, that's exactly how I feel with each of my Mandrake installs over the last few years. Getting drivers is a hassle...I hate it when my brother calls and wants me to walk him through installing winmodem drivers on XP the 10th time it destroys itself. One time I almost suggested he use linux, but he has satellite via a strange USB device which probably isn't supported. Probably about the only useful device that's not supported (or I don't know if it does have support).

If so, then it is a real nice feature, since the DPT "KITT scanner" can morse all kinds of error messages.
Like what? "Michael, there are 2 enemies with guns in that room. Please be careful."

I'd like to see how many Linux users accidentally clicked on these. Is the number less than or equal to zero?

Uh, actually, the strippers would probably cost a hell of alot more than the CS majors cost.
Then again, most lonely CS majors end up at strip clubs at the end of the week, giving their hard-earned cash to boob girls. It all comes full circle.
So I guess, in a way, you can say that ATI/NVIDIA already hired strippers, and they're doing a fine job.
Yeah, these images look pretty sweet, takes me back to the olden tymes when a digitized, hires black and white picture on the commodore 64 looked exactly like this.
To come so far to turn back. Ahh, technology.

Whatever, it works either way, and I prefer the no '-' method.
