    Yea, if you go to those Monster cables or perhaps these ones, your games might become "danceable".

    So then the sarcasm truck came and hit the dude, slow speed but he couldn't figure out what it was...then it backed up and hit him again...turns out he was fine but he still didn't know what it was.

    I was referring to X not as in X11 but as in the variable X for "X feature".

    Yeap...no posts were there when I hit reply originally, but of course I got the "lol you hit submit before 30 secs you naughty" message :P

    I don't know whats worse...getting first post and not saying first post...or saying first post and not getting first post...perhaps the latter?

    I'm confused...couldn't you have just dist-upgraded or whatever its called in Ubuntu. I know in my distro (Arch Linux) I just run one command and I'm up to date with the latest release (rolling release system.).

    I find it mind-numbingly astounding that someone would format to upgrade their linux distro. Ubuntu really is trying to copy Windows.

  7. Why do they always do this on Vista Vs. Gutsy Gibbon · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I've seen this happening for awhile. The headline will read "*Insert Latest Release of X Distro Here* vs Vista!"

    Personally I don't get it...why do we always have to compare the features of X distro with the latest Windows release? The very fact that we are doing so is degrading to the distro, its basically saying that the distro should be like windows...as if somehow Window is the "baseline" for this benchmark. The whole point of using *nix/*bsd is to be different from the mainstream...be more efficient, productive, whatever.

    Why do we always have to compare the two OSes as if they should both be the same...this is the completely wrong thing to be doing. The linux distro will get rated down because it doesn't have some windows bug/feature. I don't get it.

    So people, please stop your incessant comparisons and side-by-side screenshot postings...they can't be compared as if they were cars; they are Different Things

    Oh, and first post, woo.

    Actually you don't even need a CC for most games now. Often they take game cards which you can buy off ebay or a multitude of sites using paypal (which can be linked to a bank account). I was able to order game cards for WoW without a credit card...that was a long time ago.

    What happened to the tubes? Do the mirrors work at lightspeed, and can they get clogged?
