Re: I think linux might have "broken through" with ubuntu

one of the ways I can see Linux going mainstream is convince ATi to either: 1) fix their drivers or 2) stop making video cards, period. then there's the issue of laptops and/or wireless cards not running right in Linux. Hell, my desktop fan runs full speed always in Linux, however when I ran any win...

Eh, I'll stick to not smoking myself. :P

Re: Smoking 2.0

would this share almost all the same dangers as actually smoking a cigarette?

Re: Looking to buy a new computer. Need some help

What, does everybody think that static electricity is some ethereal and magical force, some deviltry that exists to frighten small animals and computer chips? Also, they DO make those grounding armbands for a reason.. suggestion: USE ONE. There is no reason not to build one's own system anymore. It...

Re: Looking to buy a new computer. Need some help

Really? Last time I bought a barebone kit was in 1999. Did they even have integrated video then? What do you mean by barebones kit? Like one that comes preassembled from Dell, HP, or something? if so, Yeah, sadly they had integrated gfx. :( I do remember using some of the Dell computers in school a...

My Saturn (which was made in '97 and AMERICAN MADE \o) has over 128,000 miles on it, neither the engine or the transmission have blown up yet :) (speaking of which I gotta get the transmission fluid+filter changed tomorrow, as well as the oil.)

Re: My G1 got stolen

Sorry to hear that your phone got stolen. Couldn't you have called the carrier to get them to deactivate your old phone temporarily until they found it :? that being said, did you report it to the police? Many newer phones have GPS technology in them, but are required for at least 911 calls. I perso...

Re: Should Code-Red Help out GM?

I have a good credit score. I have never been late on a payment and over the recent years I have made a habit of using credit cards on regular purchases for the sky miles so I've built up a score. Having a good down payment helps a lot, I think around %35 of the total cost is looked upon favorably ...

Re: Should Code-Red Help out GM?

Nice score. :) how did you get credit in these tough times? you must tell us.. that being said, does it still have a warranty on it? Also, how big is the engine? if you have a 2.2L or perhaps a 2.4L motor, you'll be able to get a K&N kit for it easily. Otherwise if you have the 2.0L motor (which...

Re: Should Code-Red Help out GM?

GM was uncooperative considering the shitty state they are in. what do you mean uncooperative? also, hurray for buying American yet it causes more hassles. :roll: as far as Saturn and Pontiac, Saturn'll either get spun off into its own brand, or it'll be phased out by 2011. Pontiac will be just two...

SNES4ALL was discontinued but Fox said something about ZSNES going multi-platform magically somehow? Mind you I haven't touched a SNES emulator in over like a year...... Oh lord... It's NOT going to happen. ZSNES is STILL majority x86 asm (which can only be ported to platforms that somehow use an x...

Hate to say this, but apparently you people understand the concept of trying to live above your means, which is how we landed in this recession in the first place. Is it really "living above your means" when your means change drastically with little warning? Should we all live 10 to a cra...
