Way to hijack a thread, Biz.

I have to say... this is the first thread I've seen where we shift gears so swiftly from talking about hardware and operating systems to discussing the status of your balls in only a few short posts.

We still are talking about hardware... kind of.

Just think... a couple of wrong snips an inch in either direction and we could have been talking about software.

EDIT: Instead of a RAMdisk.

I had a suspicion what you were saying, but I just had to look it up.

Quote from: Urbandictionary.com

1. p3n0r
More of the same lame-ass "1337" online language, referring to the more common pen0r or penor, meaning "penis"

Anyone who might venture to use this terminology is an idiot, and should be dealt with by severe beatings or vivisection.

Sane person: "I will kill you now."

Hey, why is this thread about fashion in the Technology section anyway?

You know those questions you're not supposed to ask?

Inverticle, on the subject of Linux and Laptops, this is a pretty interesting article about a guy getting Ubuntu to work on a Thinkpad.

The article itself is an interesting read, but the best part is what he has to say about XP near the end of the article.

Quote

As part of my work, I had to install and use Windows XP this past week. I had not used a Windows desktop for a couple of years for anything but testing. I found using it painful. I finally reorganized the program menu like my GNOME desktop so I could find programs easier. I installed Zone Alarm's free firewall, Grissoft's free Anti-Virus program and Spybot S&D. I made sure every port was closed or at least was running in a stealth mode. I was surprised at the number of times Zone Alarm warned me that an application I just launched attempted to access the Internet. That's really freaky.

It took about a day before the system got infested with spyware and icons showed up on the desktop leading to various Web sites. I couldn't believe it. Then, the system began slowing down--in fact, grinding down. I fed Windows 1 GB of fast DDR RAM, but it didn't seem to matter. Finally, I defragmented the hard drive, which took an hour.

Soon, programs began to freeze and in the top bar I saw the message "Not responding". I waited a little while and they eventually came back. I couldn't believe how many times I had to stop work while XP gathered itself. And this is what media analysts consider ready for the desktop?

I know I'm not the only one who has written this, but I'll do it again. If the major manufacturers put as much engineering into the Linux desktop as they put into Windows, they would produce a superior product for their customers. I'm sorry I don't have a billion dollars to give you for marketing so you can keep your stock prices up. Maybe you could make it the old-fashioned way--by offering a superior product.

Stereotypes exist because they are true. Always. Geeks and nerds really are the same thing, and they all look like losers in their geeknerd clothes. Everybody knows that. I once saw a geeknerd pick a booger and eat it. Then he pushed his hornrims up his nose and snickered in this creepy way they have. I once peed on a programmer. DEBUG THAT, I said, rather forcefully.

Hey Demo, I posted in the 'Linux Distro' thread about my current setup. I put Kubuntu on my laptop and it's great!. I really like it. I then put Ubuntu on my desktop so I can have both KDE and Gnome.

Crystalmonkey · « **Reply #42 on:** July 26, 2005, 09:31:10 PM »

What I thought was interesting is the edubuntu that they have as a related project. It looks interesting. (I like classroom tech, go figure.)

Demosthenes · « **Reply #43 on:** July 27, 2005, 09:13:55 AM »

Cool.

One of the things that's turned me off Ubuntu is the fact that it's entirely Gnome for the desktop, and I'm not much of a fan of Gnome.

If Kubuntu is good though, that might be worth trying.

inverticle · « **Reply #44 on:** July 27, 2005, 05:52:42 PM »

Kubuntu is exactly the same as Ubuntu but with KDE. So if Gnome was the problem for you, then you should really like Kubuntu.
