Uh, until you actually try to use it for reals. I got tired of things being buggy. I love linux for command line interface stuff, but for my main OS I prefer Mac OS X. - ♜ Bjorn Tipling
Yeah, like Bjorn said, particularly I rec a dual boot of OS X and Linux. gets pesky sometimes tho. - ♣genieyclo♣
If Ubuntu would just give me higher than 1024 x 768 res without forcing me to go in and edit that danged XFree86 config file manually. I don't remember how, and I don't want to have to look it up! ARGH! - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
Stuff linux into a VM on OS X - best of both worlds. - Kevin Johnson
Linux still has a long way to go. Every time I've ever tried to use Linux as my primary desktop machine, I've found myself fussing with Linux more than being productive. If I ever want to run my own mail or web server again, I'll use OpenBSD. Otherwise, I'll stick with Vista and OS X. - Akiva Moskovitz
MiniMage, what happens when you go through the graphical menus? System / Preferences / Screen Resolution - Bruce Lewis
Well, when you know what you're doing, you obviously have less problems. Also, if I could afford to just buy a new computer, I probably would. It would also probably be a Mac....well...maybe. - ♫ Rahsheen™
Nothing higher than 10x7 is an option. When I researched the issue months ago, the suggestion was to manually add the desired configuration. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
I ran Linux as my primary desktop for 3 years before switching to a Mac. If all you need to do is on the web, it's really a no-brainer. You just have to squelch the urge to microscopically tweak your configuration, unless you absolutely love dealing with breakage. - Victor Ganata
Notwithstanding the problems I had getting the HDTV set up properly, I love Ubuntu. - Steven Perez
I installed NVIDIA X Server Settings to get 1280x1024 resolution. - Alejandro S.
is it harder to do the partition thing than switch outright? - V for Veselka
I love the prevalence of geeks around here, it makes me feel happy. - RefD
Uhm..harder for me because I think my HD is too full. couldn't split the partition during install. Trying to correct that now. - ♫ Rahsheen™
You'll love Parted Magic to perform the necessary magic on your partitions: Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs (e.g. Partition Image, TestDisk, fdisk, sfdisk, dd, and ddrescue) and an excellent set of documentation to benefit the user. - Jared Evans
We don't need to have this conversation again, do we? :-/ - Kevin Johnson
@Kevin: if there are no other subjects for a more fruitful conversation.... =) - Alex
@Kevin -- just for you, what you see above is result of double-aggregation (first it is Jaiku takes in Flickr items, then FrF takes in Jaiku). Yes, those dates seem weird but I don't see any other solution atm. Thank you for funny/entertaining comments in previous post. - silpol
Hey Kevin. Hey Carlos! Derrick: Sorry, my signal cuts out when I drive up the hill to my parents' house. Rahsheen - I evacuated because of the fires. Rochelle: I'm back in my apartment now. Still VERY smoky and lots of ash on the ground. Hey Neal! I'm great! - Monique
BREAKING NEWS! NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN! DETAILS SOON! - Mark VandenBerg
I'm with @Joelle - It's like one of those reports of an airplane crash killing hundreds -- "but no Americans were on board" -- does that make it less of a tragedy? - Rex Hammock
Breaking news: A "Caps Lock" key was found on the keyboard. - Jemm
Hope you all are doing well. Trying to think of something constructive to do. - ♫ Rahsheen™
Rah, hmm. Scour through the bug list in the linux kernel and start fixing them. :P - imabonehead
I think I need to warm up on something else before I go kernel hacking again...LOL. From what I recall, I used to rely on mjc's patches for my kernel needs. :) - ♫ Rahsheen™
I'll echo Molly. Mashed potatoes & gravy, and stuffing. Also, green bean casserole. YUM! Oh yeah... and it's nice to be together with family. :-D - Ladybug Heather
All the food except for the Turkey and Cowboys football! - Mathew Ballard
I don't really understand Thanksgiving, what are the traditions for it? Is there traditional meals for example? It's it kind of like Christmas? Is it a public holiday for the US? - Kol Tregaskes
My mom's dressing and German Chocolate Cake. This year, I'm doing the turkeys, so I'm extra excited. - ha3rvey
Dressing, almost any kind, unless it has hardboiled eggs, that's just a culinary sin. - Heather Solos
Jandy, which of Kate movies do you think should have given her an Oscar? Or do you think just generally she deserves one. She *is* a very good actress. - Kol Tregaskes
Mine is quite a recent one, Sunshine, the Danny Boyle sci-fi movie about the Sun. It blew me away, especially after watching the 2 alternative versions with commentaries and getting a scientific perspective of the movie from Dr Brian Cox. - Kol Tregaskes
The 2 behind this are Seven and The Matrix (the first one). - Kol Tregaskes
My 10 favorite movies are "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "True Grit," "Nobody's Fool" (the one with Paul Newman), and "Die Hard." - Mitch Wagner

All Kol said and "Anger management " love this too - Arash
i missed Van Helsing and no country for old man - Arash
Kol, on your list, there are maybe three or four movies I liked at all, and only two or three I liked a lot. I hated most of them. I don't think we'll be going to the movies together anytime soon. Perhaps we could take up golf instead? - Mitch Wagner
Kinda like the look when they're hungry: YOU MOTHERFUCKER HOW DARE YOU NOT FEED ME NOW!! Or when they want out: HEY YOU, MOTHERFUCKER, HOW DARE YOU NOT LET ME OUT. etc etc - Tad, Fool
Tad, one of our cats is really good at the "HOW DARE YOU NOT LET ME OUT" look which is particularly funny because our cats are indoor-only cats. - Rochelle
Yeah but then if you keep going, they get pissed and gouge your eyes out...so either way YOU'RE FUCKED! - Live4Soccer
Dogs are more like, "Oh gracious master, could you possibly, in your majesty and wonder, please find it within yourself to give me just a tiny speck of the food with which you are eating? Pretty please? Oh god, please before i starve?" Cats: "FEED ME MOTHERFUCKER!!!" - Tad, Fool
Birds: SCREAAAAAAAAAAMM!!!!!!! (no reason) - Tad, Fool
My schipperke is quite calm about it: Let me out our I'll wiz on the carpet - your choice, human. - Kevin Johnson
"Cats are treacherous." quote un-quote via J - Mona N.
Tad: That's only if you have a freaky monkey bird. Oh, wait. You DO! - Lisa L. Seifert
OMG you MUST know my cat. That's her buzz down to a tee. You nailed it! You still gotta love 'em tho. - john conroy
Cat were once worshiped, humanity have moved on from this. Cats, however, haven't and are waiting for us to return to worshiping them again. (They are also not very patient about waiting for this to happen.) - Grant Bierman
while I think codeylicious is cute. I can't quite see Kamath telling his friends, "yeah. check out my new tech blog at codeylicious.com." heh. - pea gives ♥ a bad name
Hey, pea? How about kamathhasahotbooty.com ? Wouldn't you love to be the fly on the wall when he hands out business cards with THAT on them? - Ladybug Heather
WoH, it is my opinion that most developers are dyslexic based on code comments I have come across. So that will never work - they'll be linking to the kamasutra if they try typing that. - Kamath ॐ
Or, since WoH suggested it, mrsmartypants.com! If you want to get fancy and sub-domain it, you could even use mr.smartypants.com. :-) - Ladybug Heather
what do u guys think of codefloats.com? - Kamath ॐ
heather, like codegasm but apparently taken - Kamath ॐ
Heather, WoH, lol. Nice idea but I usually have my pants off - it would be insincere :p - Kamath ॐ
codefloats=floaters=wrong type of imagery. nopants.com, however is a winner! - WorldofHiglet
You've heard of the Naked Cowboy, right? Well, since you have your pants off, why not NakedCoder? =D - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
“Hey! So who would be interested in doing like a friendfeed Secret Santa (or insert appropriate holiday icon here) type thing? Basically a holiday gift exchange with other friendfeeders?”
Lindsey I think the wishlist option would be best. Most people would probably be reluctant to give their home address to a perfect stranger. What do you guys think the dollar limit should be? - Monique
$10 I'm hazarding, but that leaves out my pony, others? - sofarsoshawn
20 bucks. It's not like everyone knows each other that well to spend alot of money - Outsanity
