One-Way Ticket to Mars? is going to be a big hit in ~2010 then they are going to get some base setup on the moon and stop sending supplies to the Martian colony because it isn't so popular anymore.
I bought a Dell Dimensions 2350 (Pentium 4) came with integraded graphics.
I wanted to upgrade (add video card) to find out they ripped out the AGP port (like wtf??)
So really, I don't think Dell gives a damn about the future

This is not:
* A list of command correspondances; "'netstat -rnfinet' on BSD = 'netstat -rnAinet' on Linux" and such things.
* How to do all the things involved in adminning and running a BSD box.
* Why you should use BSD instead of Linux.

ADHD is what I was diagnosed with in 3rd grade and the school demanded that I take Ritalin.
Was one in the morning, one at lunch. So I took half the dosage that the other ADHD folks did because I threw away my lunch pill because my parents weren't supervising me then.
Since I started taking it at that age I began to stay at home and simply watch TV and play Nintendo instead of going outside and socializing. With this amount of isolation from society and never talking to anybody at school I gradually found it more difficult to interpret body language and emotion (still have this problem to today, but have managed to mask it).
I searched the web when I was in my mid teens for other people that had this problem and ended up coming across Asperger Syndrome. Five years later I talked to my family doctor about my problem (but never said anything about Ritalin) and she agreed.
I have a Rogers AT&T (Canada) phone (Pay as you go) and I get charged airtime when someone calls to leave me a message on the voicemail.
So I called up Rogers and asked them to deactive the voicemail, so they did. Now whenever someone calls they get "This costumer needs to setup there voicemail etc etc" and I still get charged airtime! (even when the phone is powered down)
I've called around to all the other cellphone carriers and none of them are this freakin' crazy.
Basically my plan of attack is sell the phone (brand new which seems like a waste) and go with someone like Bell or Telus.
My Kids are always messing up my computer - How do I purchase Deep Freeze for home use and what should I know?
Purchase the Deep freeze Home Edition
You must be aware that that absolutely nothing can be saved to or deleted from a Deep Freeze enabled system. If Deep Freeze is enabled and you save any document, it will simply not be there the next time the system is re-started. There is no way to "recover" saved work, so please make sure that you disable Deep Freeze during a session when you want to makes changes.
There is also no way to recover your Deep Freeze Password, so please ensure that you do not forget or lose it.
If you have more that one partition or fixed drive you can save your data by leaving one or more of them unfrozen. During installation, Deep Freeze will automatically detect that you have more than one fixed drive or partition, and will ask you if you which ones other than C: that you want to "freeze."
Our Deep Freeze Home Edition is identical to Deep Freeze Standard and it operates just like our 60 Day Evaluation Version. Deep Freeze Professional is designed for large deployments and is not available in a home version.
When my parent bought me (well it was ment to be for the whole family) a 286 computer with dos installed, I knew nothing, and neither did my parents. so I explored, and I found a 'help' command, and a 'dir' command, and I found different types of files (the ones you can execute, and others)...
Yeah, I can remember the first time attempting to format a disk (was write protected, didn't know)
Step 1) format A: Write Error hmm, must be b format B: Write Error arrrghh, try C format C: success!
Subject : Seems an awful lot like Freenet.. ..with the same strengths (privacy) and weaknesses (slow). My asymmetrical DSL connection just won't work well with a system like this. I don't have the bandwidth to act as a node that relays data for the sake of maintaining your anonymity. If we all had T3 connections in our home this would be great, but we don't.
I have a DSL connection with a p2 266, 128MB RAM, Redhat 8.0.
I find that my DSL connection is plenty of bandwidth the only thing that slows me down on Freenet (to the point of being unusable) is that it is written in *shivers* Java. Its a huge memory hog.
Definitely Cube! It's like a basics version of half-life for free.

My favorite free game actually!:) 3D Gamers is even giving cube a little publicity They are advertising for Unreal Tournament but its cube in the screenshot hehe
The IRC channel for this game is:
server: irc.gamesnet.net channel: #cube
Topic is : public release HOPEFULLY the 21st, but for sure this year still (that's a promise)
So should give you an idea that its going to get a facelift quite soon:)

A girl asked me out over HotorNot to meet her at a dance. To say the least I blew a ton of loot (well large sum of my equity) getting there then she just disappeared on me. So two days later I get this in my inbox
hey sorry about friday night , I saw you met charity and her friends. I`ve realized i`m not attracted to you and i`m being a funny girl and I don`t mean to hurt you but I don`t think we`d go above the internet friends level. i hope i`m not being mean it just I don`t think i could see myself dating you. you seem like a really nice guy but i don`t think I could be a really good girlfriend because I need a guy who knows how to " dirty" dance. Well maybe i`ll meet a guy in England well write back i`d like to here how you night went with charity and her friends jaz ---------------
Really good indie game is the well thought out Planet Blupi. It is a RTS based game but holds that cartoonish look and great strategy. All in all I wish I could find it locally because it would make a great Christmas gift:)
Heres a snippet from the webpage
Planet Blupi is a stragtegie and adventure game for PC compatibles. It subtly blends action with thought-provoking challenges. Behind the quiet and gentle facade, you'll enjoy a fascinating diversion full of surprises. Planet Blupi is ideal for ages 12 to 99.
If I remember correctly from reading something in the Ontario Drivers handbook that a great percentage of motorcyclists forget to turn off the turn signal. Maybe a little bit of visual cue on this HUD could go along way to prevent some accidents caused by miscommunication.

After dealing with Dell for that particular machine I will *never* *ever* buy from them again.
I'll second that, from my previous post on dell:

Anyone think it was caused by Ritalin?
THe only other Canadian GSM provider is Fido
Rumour has this carrier doesn't get a signal in my city (St. Thomas). Not certain why though.
Its 15min from London, ON -- comments?
Sure, what's the model and price. Is it a GSM phone? Unlocked? :)
Its a Nokia 3390.
I asked for the unlock code on this forum and a dude says he'll get unlock code for USD$10
I must admit I love the phone and would be cool if I could get Telus on this by simply unlocking it, but does anyone know if this is legal?
