Yea, Linux can be a savior of planned and thought out. The initial setup time is much higher especially if the admin is fairly new to it. Once everything is setup properly problems rarely come up out of nowhere, except of course hardware issues.
UNIX, Linux, *BSD all have different kernels. Just because the UI is similar does not me that they are the same. It's just an easier and excepted way to saying UNIX/Linux/*BSD.
I'm not sure what punk your normally listen to, but what I always hear, inlucding mainstream and local is a few kids learn 3 basic cords and how to beat on a drum and call it a lifestyle. Most punk is utter crap, with a few exceptions.
In the US, you've got the poor, middle class, rich. I fall in the poor range. Now you may have a different definition for poor, I gather that would be "barely surviving."
Poor, clearly there are numorous ways in wich to interpret 'poor'. Your interpretation is just as correct as mine.
Great idea, sell some junky old computers for $15. That would get me no where, these old computers turned out to be a great learning resource for me, much more valuable than $200 spent on a college course. Using the terms poor or broke are irrelevant. Broke, meaning I don't have much money, ok true. Poor, meaning I lack possessions and wealth, true as well. But, you seem to consider old parts collected overtime somehow valuable, but the parts originate as far back as a 486 and just recently I got my mom's old P75, she got a new computer. Economically speaking I don't consider any of that wealthy, but I could look at it in the since of learning experience and entertainment. Then, I am rich surrounded by old hardware that I can install FreeBSD on!!!
The DSL issue, a lot of poor/broke/not well off people have cable TV. I don't. I save money where I can, because DSL is almost necessary to me. I buy cheap groceries, my clothes are beginning to fall apart, so I buy used whenever I can.
Don't go judging my lifestyle you don't know the facts. You don't know how I live or how much I make.
Well considering it's all from recycled hardware. One box is a P233, that was my may comp living with my parents. The next machine I got was the my first I paid for, a p3 500. Just recently I upgraded to a Athlon 1800+. I paid for that from a small programming job for some one. I still call my lifestyle poor considering how much money I make (I don't care to announce to anyone). I am resourceful though.
I don't think it takes much to switch to ogg. At least make a point to encode all the CDs you rip to ogg, if you download anything try to look for ogg, otherwise download mp3. They've got a nice free ogg encoder. To get anything that nice for MP3 is typically shareware, so the ogg encoder alone is enough to make it worth the switch. Whatever you do don't reencode your mp3s to ogg. Unless you are going to rerip them as well. That's too much effort for me though.
Mine is missing the red. The red comes and goes as it pleases, but not my main monitor. It's an old 14 in. IBM PS/1. Came with my 486 so I guess I shouldn't complain. Wish I could easily fix it, banging does no good.
I use and like KDE, but the machines I'm running it on I don't sit at enough. I have a uncomfortable foldup chair that sits too low. So I began expeirmenting with other WMs, no desktop, no "start menu", not much drag and drop. After messing aroung with various options I got tired of sitting in that chair. Unistalled the other WM and stuck with KDE. Besides one computer is a webserver, and has GUI so my g/f can check her email. The other is a DVD player and will spend the majority of its time next to the TV when I get it tweaked right. Now my main machine (win2k & comfy chair) is for games. I've got a spare drive now that I will expeiriment with FreeBSD on it and maybe learn and like one of those 31337 WMs.
I suggest watch some. I'm pretty much a n00b and don't know where to start. I've seems some pretty jaw dropping stuff, to pure crap, so you need I good resource to tell you what's crap and what isn't. A friend into Anime would help.
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of the crap movies out there, Anime is a great way to watch some new refreshing ideas.
If any one wants to help either of us out. Point out a site where I can print out a list of "must see" Anime.

With anime over half of the movie is looking at the details in the video. Whether it be looking at the artwork or subtle things in the background. Add subtitles to this and barely get a chance to look up during constant conversation.
A friend of mine was flipping back and forth between dubbed English and Japanese, English subtitled. Well the quality much higher hearing the Japanese voices, so I the advantage to subtitled is obvious as well. BTW, this was a Cowboy Bebop DVD.
A lot of cases now do really good in terms of heat. I know for instance Antec and Cheiftec (clones) have a fan that you can put directly in front of the drive bay. Very cool. Get some temperature sensitive case fans and your drives will be cool and happy.
Haha, just great. That have to throw an advertisement for some crappy search engine submital service as the first result. Just goes to show probably 99.9% of search egines out there are crap.
You are right about the effect of 'shrooms on humans who already have self-awareness. Cause damn that experience really did change me and I'd love to get a hold of some again. I dodn't see how it wouldn't alter a species without self-awareness. Now maybe pre-historic humans had those capabilities and 'shrooms possibly triggered it, that sounds more believable.
Whenever I get real drunk I feel like I have this connection with everybody. It's like I feel this bond with my friends like we are brothers or something. Damn your on to something!
Haha, I didn't think that till your pointed it out. Then I thought I bet there is a KDE program called Kreativ... Sadly, apps.kde.com turned up nothing.
Seems like the common solution in Sci-Fi is create/modify a virus that would make the changes. It doesn't sound to far from reality if we consider that we have the know how to modify these genes then we would have the know how to modify a virus to modify us. I can't remember any particular episode in TNG that did something like this, but I think I remember a few in Voyager that did this. Of course if Voyager had the idea, then it's probably impossible anyways.

Wow, nice graphics. If nethack is as good as everyone says, with this GUI, may be damn fun.

I'm poor and I have 2 copies of FreeBSD running and one pirated copy of Win2k. I just make sacrifices for broadband DSL, like ditching cable TV.

HEY AWESOME!!! I been thinking about switching back to Winamp2.... this is a reason to start using Winamp3.
I like the new default KDE theme, Keramik or whatever. It's elegant, but not too busy.

Don't feel old I remember watching Robotech as a kid and I'm 21. I thought it was the best cartoon I have ever seen.

Hey cool, thanks! I wanted to say that we might have already done that before, but I thought I might have gotten reality and sci-fi mixed together.

I usually let the coffee I make sit out so it will cool down. Stupid McD's.
