  1. Re:Accurate, considering the caveats on PC Mag Slams Cheap Wal-Mart Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Yep, no problems running memtest for 24 hours. But Ubuntu worked fine. It was vista that refused to install until I removed a stick of ram. Putting that stick back after install caused no issues. This is the same computer I've used for a long time with ubuntu/xp. Never any issues of instability.

  2. Re:What's wrong with TV news? on What's Wrong With the TV News · · Score: 1

    It's funny, last night I was watching the food network. They were interviewing a guy about how his company makes pretzel chips.

    She got really mad at me because I couldn't stop laughing at home many people on that show say "We can't tell you what happens during this part because it is a super secret patented process!". She was like "just let it go", but I couldn't stop laughing at the idea of a super secret patent.

    I had the exact opposite problem. Ubuntu installed no problems, vista however kept crashing during install. the 'solution', take one stick of ram out until the install finished, apparently it had some weird problem with all my ram slots being full.

  4. Re:Lies, damned lies, and statistics. on Windows Home Server Corrupts Files · · Score: 5, Funny

    I am pro gun ownership. I think this whole, "hold at gun point" thing is stupid. I'm sorry, I've always been taught that you only draw your weapon to do one thing, fire it.

    I have a few hand guns. Most are locked up safely. I have no kids so I keep on in a desk next to my bed, ready to be loaded. Just slide in the clip, and I'm good to go. We have had a few breakins lately in my area. If you break in, I will not be holding you for the police. I am in my right to kill, and I will kill. To hold at gunpoint is to risk that you might have a gun, or a friend I did not notice. It is stupid and very unsafe. I have a wife to protect, and property to protect. I really think anyone who holds at gunpoint had no intent of using the weapon in the first place. This is bad gun ownership.

    You should only draw your weapon when you have identified a target and intend to fire on it. Hesitation might get you killed. The only exception might be in the case of military and police.

  5. Re:Next time work "with 2K" on 1 more thing on Ken Levine's Acceptance Speech That Never Was · · Score: 1

    I didn't complain at all, I simply did not buy it. However, I really wanted to buy after playing the demo. As it stands, I used the money for a competitors video game.

  6. Re:In your face parents on Clinton Would Crack Down On Game Content · · Score: 1

    Seriously now, are you saying adults actually play video games? Of course they don't, video games are only for children. Putting adult content in video games is just silly.

  7. Yup on Toshiba Builds Ultra-Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm sure the US government would have no problem with people buying these, no problem at all.

  9. Re:This CAN be stopped on Hellgate Beta's In-Game Ads Raise Eyebrows · · Score: 1

    Of course by fully support, I mean all the latest and greatest games that run on my pc currently. As far as I know, the best VM's out there only have very basic 3d support.

  10. Re:This CAN be stopped on Hellgate Beta's In-Game Ads Raise Eyebrows · · Score: 1

    If you have a VM that fully supports 3d games, I'll pay you 200.00.

    Cause then I wouldn't need my windows partition anymore.

  11. Re:I think it's habit - AND convenience on Name-Your-Cost Radiohead Album Pirated More Than Purchased · · Score: 1

    I think a bigger problem is that they don't have a preview of the album. So I really don't know how much money I want to give them. itunes and the like give previews of the songs so you can decide if they are worth it.

  12. Re:Within the retail sector... on Ubuntu On Dell After Four Months · · Score: 1

    I just remove the ubuntu-desktop package. As far as I know it's not required and I have had no issues.

    I'm sorry, I'll be more careful with my comments next time. Can you forgive me? http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/photopost/data/500/4455normal_Internet-SeriousBusiness.jpg

  14. Re:Why bother? on Microsoft Releases IIS FastCGI Module · · Score: 1

    Lets see, my worthless comment spawned a very good conversation on the merits of apache, IIS, and lighttpd with fastcgi.

    I think you need a therapist. You should not be so upset with a simple question. Life's too short.

    BTW, the company I work for uses IIS and apache. We have products that require them.

    What's wrong with apache?

    I have not bought an ati for a long time after I switched to linux. My last ati card was a 9800. I will next time.

  18. Re:AB soap vs soap on Anti-Bacterial Soap No Better Than Plain Soap · · Score: 1

    My soap experience comes from grappling. When we get a ringworm outbreak those of us who use antibacterial soap do not get it. Everyone who uses regular soap does. I used to be a big believer in not using antibacterial soap, after a few ringworm infections, I started using antibacterial dial. No infections from that time forward.

    All ID games, and Epic games run on linux without wine/cedega. I play doom3, quake 4, and ut2004 all the time without wine/cedega.

    I drive to a single gas station simply because I have a card that lowers the price 3 cents.

  22. Prince should say screw you on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Prince should just open his own online store. Publicly announce he is no longer a member of the RIAA, and start selling his music online via his own channels. I'm sure he is rich enough to give them the finger.

    If it wasn't for the car seat, I'd think his wife fled the country, then used political means to get her mother custody and had her flee the country with her children.
