I've been playing the 1st Wii Tennis training mini-game to get a nice aerobic workout. It's simple enough to keep going without much frustration. What I do is take a step forward on the same foot as the arm I'm swinging with and when the character gets close to the net, I'll switch it up and side step in the direction of the swing. About half an hour of that I get a good workout.
If I was him, I'd look for the research firm that would pay me the most.. You know how much money the pharmisutical companies have? He'd be set for the rest of his life.
I know Unix is not Linux. I was saying that, Linux/Unix as in Linux and Unix...
I know the the tools that I specified came from Unix.
I didn't say anything about the security of Linux, but I do know that I've never had any of my Linux boxes breeched where as everyone I know has had their Windows boxes breeched.
As for the Windows' GUI being the most beautifully achitected and designed environment, ever... You clearly haven't developed a gui application in GTK. GTK is a well thought out library. Ten times easier to develop in than the Window GUI library.
XP is such a joy when it comes to simply connecting a device and watching the pretty little bubble detecting it and saying "its installed and ready for use"
Sure thing bub. Last time I checked, when I plug my usb card reader into my Linux system running Gnome, the card pops up on the desktop and I'm done.
I tried that same usb card reader in my Windows XP box at work and nothing happended. I searched the internet and the Windows wanted to put the device on drive E:, but I had drive E: mapped to a network share. I had to remove the share, breaking all kinds of things, to use it.
Linux is light years behind Windows XP
This Article is light years behind the present day. He's talking about what Linux was like five years ago.
I think it's the most over rated piece of software ever built and survives simply out of spite and not because it is terribly good at doing something because it is not!
Um, let's see, grep, ls, sed, awk, file, wc, less. Anything on the commandline exceeds anything in Windows when it comes to data manipulation. If I absolutely have to use a Windows machine at work a always install cygwin, vim, emacs, XKeymacs just because there is nothing comparable in the Windows world. All that stuff came from Unix aka Linux. Oh, and don't forget that Linux allowed all of us to have the power of Unix on our Desktops, for free nonetheless.
Linux/Unix is probably the best development enviroment. I always feel like I'm programming with a broken finger when I use windows.
I perfer Gnome over the Windows GUI. Even if I didn't like Gnome, there are many other enviroments that I can use as an alternative. Hell I even use Ratpoison sometimes, there's nothing comparable to that in the Windows.
Don't give me that crap that Linux is not user friendly, because it is. I don't have anything but Linux on my computers, and my wife, who is by far not computer literate, can do everything she wants.
I use Linux because I want to drive a Muscle Car, not a Go Kart.
I know that when I read the book, "Dharma Bums", which contains characters from my grandfather's generation, I thought, man, there isn't anything new!
My grandparents were no different than we are, they did the same stupid crap that we did. That theory was further ceamented when I found out that my grandmother had a tattoo.:)
I gave up on computer gaming, it's to damn expensive. By the time you go out and buy a descent video card, memory, hard drive to play the leading games, you've well over spent the cost of a gaming cosole.
Until last month, I've been using the same 750mhz computer for four years with Linux because I didn't need the power to play games. Computers today are unreasonably fast, and if you're not trying to push it to play some stupid game, you can use it for just about anything else. I only upgraded because my parents gave me their old 1.8ghz computer because they needed to upgrade because Windows was running to slow.
So once you give up on computer gaming and use a console, you're going to be spending gobs and gobs of money trying to keep your system up to date to play the latest games, where you can spend what, $200 dollars for the system, and play every game made for the system.
I'll say it again,...

P2P and TV
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
If the TV world would wise up and start distributing their shows with the ads via bittorrent the world would be a better place. Embrace new technology don't fear it. It's exactly what iTunes is doing. They made it easier to buy the music than to steal it. I was "podcasting" tvshows off of btefnet.org when it was up and I wouldn't of minded if the ads were in there. I'm accustommed to watching ads on TV why not downloaded TV shows?
The most lucrative feature that this service could have is a buy now option that will allow you to buy the song to download to your mp3 player later. Imagine all the impulse buys.
My friends and I were in two cars driving down I-95 and they thought it would by funny to throw a big glub full of coke at my car. The cup hit my windshield dead on and I tried to use my windshield wipers and the coke was so sticky it glued my windshield wipers arms to my windshield and burned out the motor.
nothing woke me up better than the bash script I wrote once, I called it the chaos generator. Basically it went like this.
Find every sound file in/usr/share
create a file in/tmp with a random file name
loop until file is deleted
play a file
repeat
I set that up as a cron job and the kicker was that the file was created by root so I hade to be conscious enough to login as root and find the file to delete. It was called the chaos generator because it would sound like war with random gun shots and screams.
If tv networks set up bittorrents with commercials, it'd download those instead. Tv is the only thing I use bittorrent for aside from legal software (eclipse, firefox, fedora, etc.) I've been dealing with commercials all my life, It won't bug me now.
Yes, a panel gets kinda useless once you get a handle on the beauty of virtual desktops.
Linux' beauty is in that it is developed by users of the interface so you get some inavative and useful features (although virt desktops have been around for a while)
I personally am trying out ratpoison to see where the experimental ui's are going. It takes the ui into an interesting turn. It keeps windows in maximized frames. So that nothing is hidden in less you want it hidden. Take a look.

Yeah, left handed computing rawks, I always have a pen in one hand and the mouse in the other.
This game was the best new game for the DS. Mario DS was fun but it wasn't new. It just was the best...
I know that when I read the book, "Dharma Bums", which contains characters from my grandfather's generation, I thought, man, there isn't anything new!
My grandparents were no different than we are, they did the same stupid crap that we did. That theory was further ceamented when I found out that my grandmother had a tattoo. :)
That's a great book by the way.
heh, is it 1990 again?
there I said it.
Yeah I bet the folks at geeks.com are very happy about this :)
I've been wanting one of these for a long time. I'm so tempted to click add to cart, but I know my wife would kill me :)
They need to put the ads in popular camping areas in maps. It will do to things: Cut down camping via annoyance and punish lame players for camping.

They should look into the maemo project that Nokia has for their Nokia 770: http://www.maemo.org/
Better keyboard Hyperlink navigation:
Firefox + Hit a Hint (http://users.tkk.fi/~psillanp/hah_hp/)
If you really want to do without a mouse use Ratpoison with Conk http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/ http://conkeror.mozdev.org/
I use ratpoison and conk when I want a happy medium between a full blown GUI and a low rez terminal.

Can I install Linux on it?
I use mouse gestures all the time... in Firefox.
NO CARRIER? Does anyone actually know what that is anymore...

If you're using mp3s, you must be a pirate! die pirate!
