  1. Which flavor is right for me?

    What "stupidity" are you referring to? Your stuff that runs on Windows 7 will run on Windows 8, no problem, and no one is forcing you to upgrade. You can run Windows 7 for years to come. If gaming is your main use, stick with Windows. You can't run Windows games very effectively on ANY Linux...
  2. Is this drive dying?

    Smart pass/fail is just set of parameters that are either under or over predetermined values. You can have a drive on the verge of failure that still passes smart checks because no one value has exceeded it's limits. It's not normal for drives to be reallocating many sectors, or to have many...
  3. Desktop Environment Usage On GNU/Linux

    Xfce is my current favorite, seems to have just the right balance of speed, features, and eye candy (of which I don't need much). I think it would be more popular if the default installs weren't so butt-ugly. The Mint version looks nice, though. I've also used KDE and Gnome (2) as well for...
  4. Dell to offer laptops featuring Red Hat Enterprise Linux

    Great, but I'm sure there will be a lot of support calls as Red Hat requires a lot of tweaking to get multimedia working well...unless it's going to be customized for that.
  5. Unix/Linux

    Ubuntu is not Unix. Linux is a Unix clone that shares aspects of the filesystem and POSIX compatibility as well as common tools, but they are not that much alike, any more than Linux is like MacOS. For one thing, Linux is a kernel, not an OS, and relies on GNU and third party software to form a...
  6. Anyone install the Android x86 project on anything yet?

    I'd rather see them port the Market to Linux via a compatibility layer, that would be much more useful. Can't get it to install in VirtualBox.
  7. Windows 8 = Windows for Dummies

    As has been pointed out, it's easy to turn off the Metro interface if you don't like it. (Although a lot of people seem to, maybe the novelty will wear off). It's not worse than OSX Lion, Gnome 3 or Ubuntu's Unity, all of which use similar principles.
  8. Dual Booting Win8, and Linux/Other O/Ss, Problem?

    This is just the way things will probably be done in the future to provide better security. There is a computer in my truck, but I don't have the expectation of installing my own software on it. Same with things like phones and tablets. Very few people buy these things with the expectation of...
  9. AAAARRRGGGHHHH! REady to ditch Win7

    Windows 7 works fine, Geek Squad doesn't. You should always have a reinstall disk available.
  10. For those against universal healthcare like they have in Canada, why be against it?

    If I have my choice of waiting to see a doctor (who gets to see a doctor or specialist right away anyway?) or paying thousands of dollars for the privilege, I'll wait. We desperately need a universal system here that breaks the power of private insurance companies and the big drug companies...
  11. Would you buy a used car with RUST on it? *pics*

    You're being silly. Around here you can't find a used car that doesn't have rust. How could a rust spot on the door "spread" to the chassis? (That car does not have a "frame"). Stop worrying about it. No car from 2005 has a "rust" problem.
  12. Linus Torvald's first usenet announcement about Linux 20 years ago today

    What's interesting is how many other apparently much better supported projects crashed and burned in that time: HURD, which is still not a usable system, Copeland at Apple, with all their supposed talent, and BeOS, which showed a lot of promise for a while. And what is successful? A guy's hobby...
  13. I like Gnome 2.0 too much

    You can probably keep using it indefinitely, just like KDE3 is available. Gnome 2 has been forked, but it's not clear whether the group that did it has the resources to develop it, or actually will. A lot of these projects die off pretty quick. Of course, it could be forked by someone else...
  14. Strange GRUB2 behavior...disappears?

    Doesn't work.
  15. Strange GRUB2 behavior...disappears?

    This has happened to me now 3 times on two different computers...I normally run a Linux distro and Windows as dual boot. I installed Xubuntu on my netbook, after Windows XP, it seemed to work fine. Then weird things started to happen...like it would boot straight into Xubuntu without giving me...
  16. What if the universe as we know it...

    If space is curved, then if you traveled long enough in a "straight" line, you would end up back where you "started", although the analogy is not exact, since time has to be taken into account, and space is expanding. Of course the line is only straight from your viewpoint. Transposing it to two...
  17. Purchased: 1985 BMW 325es, $150

    Old Beemers will nickle and dime you to death....assuming they run long enough. Most of them have been beat on, too.
  18. Got myself a Trans cooler. Gonna install myself!!!

    You don't need to cool it at idle. Don't add any fans unless it's a real automotive fan, and you know how to install it. Make sure you put in circuit after the stock cooler, not in front of it. It may help you, but really, if the transmission is slipping, you need some other work done. That car...
  19. What does The Garage think about Seafoam?

    It's basically a solvent, so if something is gummed up or sticking, it will loosen it up. The thing is, on modern engines, using modern oil, and that are in daily use, that's really not a problem. If you've had a '64 Chevy sitting in a garage for 15 years, Seafoam might work wonders. On a '98...
  20. Can Apple be sued for its "anti-competitive" behaviours?

    The only big legal question I see pending for Apple is whether their OS can be run on non-Apple hardware legally or not. Unlike Microsoft, Apple hasn't pushed out or barred other companies from the market in general, just their market. You would have to convince a court that they didn't have the...
  21. A steel pole is built from planet A to planet B one light year away..

    The pole itself can't move faster than the speed of light, because the particles it's composed of can't. Aside from the fact that regardless of the force applied the gigantic inertia involved would probably destroy most of the planet before the pole moved. This is aside from the fact that...
  22. For those who support our occupation in Afghanistan...what is our goal?

    I don't support it, and there is no realistic goal there. Most of the population hates us and our presence far more than either the Taliban or Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda is a threat that is far overstated, some estimates put this group at nor more than a hundred at most, not even a wannabe Mexican drug...
  23. Ask the card-carrying socialists: Is Obama one of them? - Wharton, co-chair of...

    You guys are fucking idiots. President Obama is so far from Socialist he's practically a Republican. He's probably to the right of where a guy like Eisenhower would have been. You really have no idea what a Socialist (or Marxist, for that matter) is, if you buy into any of that. A lot of people...
  24. Who is your favorite and least favorite Presidents and why?

    How was the fundamental nature of the country changed? In the first case we remained one nation and left the misbegotten travesty of slavery behind, in the second case we defeated fascist militarism and established the US as a world power.
  25. Who is your favorite and least favorite Presidents and why?

    Reagan should be forgotten. And whow would you rather have had than FDR? Wendell Wilkie? We'd be fucking speaking German right now.
  26. Who is your favorite and least favorite Presidents and why?

    The best president this country has ever had is Franklin D. Roosevelt. A very close second is Abraham Lincoln. These two men, by their vision, saved this country from becoming something very different, in a very different world. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that knows little of history, I...
  27. Who is your favorite and least favorite Presidents and why?

    Hitler was never elected Chancellor of Germany. He never came in better than 2nd, but since no party had a majority, the rightists convinced a very old President Hindenburg to make him Chancellor with experienced politician Von Papen as Vice Chancellor, thinking he could be "mainstreamed". Boy...
  28. Weird thing I noticed with Linux themes

    Not all form elements can be styled. Widgets like drop down arrows and checkboxes depend on images that to my knowledge can't be manipulated easily.
  29. Weird thing I noticed with Linux themes

    Since the form inputs are styled on your old page, they override the default widgets, as I explained before. The overriding of font colors in the pages themselves is actually caused by the body text color not being specified, left as a default, which is normally black. The theme, which is...
  30. The Greatest Movie of All Time is On Right Now...

    Foxy Brown would whip his ass.
  31. Didn't know about the Ford/Honda joint venture.

    They should just make a badge that says I-DIOT that all these guys could buy.
  32. Subaru Impreza @ 209k miles. Am I driving on borrowed time now?

    I don't know about Subarus, but my Chevy has 278,000 and runs fine. The last one I had went to 351,000 before it got too tired.
  33. Gov. gives woman with cancer disability and then takes away her healthcare

    Just one more reason we should have a single payer system with no conditions for treatment, except you need it.
  34. The Descent of Liberalism

    "Classical Liberalism" sounds more like classical fascism in practice. The wealthy, strong, and ruthless dominate everyone else, and fight amongst themselves for power, using the underclasses as cannon fodder, either economically, or literally. Throw in some religion and you've got the perfect...
  35. The Descent of Liberalism

    Funny how the people most strongly advocating "color-blindness" and non class-based government seem to be members of the elite status quo who have never experienced any real discrimination themselves...seems equally odd that the people who most strongly advocate the dismantling of the social...
  36. Preventative Care Myth

    Describe one substantive financial process in modern society that doesn't push a cost into the future. When you take out a loan for a car or home, that pushes the cost into the future. When you charge something on your credit card, that pushes a cost into the future. When insurance companies...
  37. Obama and Dems Stick it to Working Families

    Not every state has "medical assistance", and to qualify for it in some you literally have to be destitute, working part time for $5 an hour, or no way will you qualify. There are millions of people who don't have health insurance because they can't afford it, or they are locked out by their...
  38. Obama and Dems Stick it to Working Families

    I don't know anyone on welfare either, and while I'm not sure of the situation where you live, there hasn't been any cash payments to "welfare" recipients here for many years, so I'm not sure how people on "welfare" would be financing all that stuff. The most you could hope for here would be...
  39. Palin-Bachmann 2012 ticket?

    Please let it be so. If not Palin/Bachman, then Palin/Keyes. Bachman/Duke would be better yet, but I don't think that will happen.
  40. Acorn video - encouraging committing crimes

    What's really sad about all this is that it was all a setup and you all fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Just more manufactured news about something that was never a real issue to start with...just a stupid plan to bring down a helpful organization that happens to be aligned with a president...
