Yeah, Debian is good for a beginner with multiple systems and some time on his hands. And a replacement to 3D Studio Max (well, not really a replacement, but does the job well if you're not relying too much on 3DS Max's very advanced features): Blender. It's free, efficient, but you'll have to learn...

True; there is no energy needed to move, only to accelerate.

Demons (Demoni) 1 and 2 Hilarious horror movies by Italian zombiefest master Lamberto Bava. If you ever watch these movies, take notice in the best actor ever: Bobby Rhodes. He plays Tony the pimp in the the first one and a private physical instructor in the second. He's like, the most badass thing ...

The first problem with time travel is that most ideas about it would work by "pushing the rewind button", which is impossible and useless. It is impossible because the moment one would start going back in time, the process making him/her go back in time would reverse and send him/her back ...

But the best is to do a low-level reformat.

To do that, you need to into your bios and locate the part about it.

It will reformat your disk like an evil mofo; making your disk as good as new.

1. Hinduism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (99%)
3. Liberal Quakers (97%)
4. Mahayana Buddhism (88%)
5. Baha'i Faith (87%)

Call me a hippie if you want, but that's the result.

-Azathoth- is talking about BlackAura, which told that while he did not believe in God, he can accept and understand that some people do.

Well, it fits in my description of open-minded.

This is most likely the stupidest argument I ever saw on these boards. On one side, we've got ultra-atheists who think everyone is a zealot and that religious people have to sacrifice their children in order to enter paradise. On the other side, we've got the typical "good god-fearing Americans...

I think there's a codec for that with MPlayer, on linux. It can't really violate M$'s copyright, because no one owns the right to translate x into y.

Nope, they got used to it because Microsoft did Windows 3.1, which they needed compatibility with, because Microsoft also did DOS, which they needed backwards compatibility with, because Microsoft had a prime contract with IBM to copy and bastardise UNIX into a mess not even able to be lighter. And ...

If they don't want to learn the console, they'll never see why *N*X is better than Windows, so they'll simply go back to Windows. People using Mandrake and Redhat never see what is working on their PC. All programs are interfaced through a (totally incompatible with the rest of the world) GUI setup ...

I wholeheartedly recommend against using Redhat as a started distro... One large reason: RPMs.... And also that it doesn't put the user into the right "*N*X" state of mind. It gives the user "Microsoftian" views and expectations of Linux that are bound to be dissapointed. Same go...

I'm graduating thursday. And my two hardest exams are still to come (on that same Thursday; Maths and Physics). Yeah, most people finish High School at 17 out here (Canadian too). Well, there are no 18-years old at my school (we're one of those "nerdy" (really not true, but that's the publ...

I'm an authority on ambivalance.

Really, I try to be good at everything rather than become an authority on anything.

This photo is old (well, months old)

Yet, it still amazes me.

Dunno, but it looks more like a sect than anything else.

Damn it Altavista translation.

Don't forget I only know those complicated words in French, where they are the same.

No human society would ever have existed without religion. Religious believes is what differenciate humans from animals. But again, conciousness? There is something that makes the difference between living and inanimate, and it's that something that religions talk about. Science never bought any exp...

People should not mix up science and religion, but they should not ignore one for another too. Religion is a great advantage for humans. Religion allows people to create hope out of nothing. Religion have always been the major driving force of the human race throughout history (and pre-history). Chr...

Is it me or am I the only person on this planet to think Dragonball mods are very, very lame? I mean; Dragonball itself is lame, now there are hundreds of mods for it for almost every moddable game. The characters are lame (even more 2 dimentional personalities than in children books), the story is ...
