Learned'd VIII: Less Bewbs, Same Nonsense

[WDRacing]

That game was yesterday, he had six catches for 48 yards and no TD's. Next week he play's the Patriots who are second in the league in passing yards allowed. I'm not going to drop him, that would be stupid, but I'm definitely thinking about trading him.

With Cutler always wanting to throw the long ball, I see Revis having a great day against Marshall. Cutler is a turn-over machine. Trade.

Whatz up Gir? Haven't seen you around here in a while.

Whatz up Gir? Haven't seen you around here in a while.

Not much really. Just been working and going to school. Everything is about making money these days for me. Paying all of the credit card bills that piled up. My car had a succession of problems that just built me a debt mountain. That and I'm paying for school out of pocket with a credit card. And working as a service writer at Pep Boys part time really doesn't cut it. At least my car is pretty much 100%. I'm just saving for coilovers and a y pipe, but both are on the back burner until I get my debts down to a solid number and get my credit score back up to it's former glory. How're things with you? It's been way too long since I've been on here.

Wieners.

[numbnuts240]

mt friend and i were trying to define another one of today's youth terms using urban dictionary, but we still couldn't decipher what the hell it means. term: basic b****.

[King Ranzo]

Just add b**** at the end and there ya go.

[numbnuts240]

we got lost in the first definition

by lost, i mean we continued insulting each other like the "you know how i know you're gay" guys from 40 year old virgin.

[King Ranzo]

This stupid terms are just well...stupid. I use them very loosely and mostly on purpose to irritate everyone.

[Dattebayo]

In this case, I suspect the slang came from someone's ignorance rather than something interesting to say.

How's Miami life treating you guy?

[frapjap]

Someone want to give me a new avatar? Mine is getting....dated.

[WDRacing]

Agreed.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Dave, I dumped Kubuntu 14.10 for a fresh install of Linux Mint 17. DAMN. I wish I'd listened to you and switched a long time ago.

[Dattebayo]

Yeah it is kinda nice, right? I kinda wish Mint was a bit more stable tho...

[Razi]

Y'all need to try out Archlinux.

[MinisterofDOOM]

I actually did some aggressive trimming of my decreasingly-used Windows partition and set aside a 100GB partition just for Arch (in addition to freeing up another 300GB for Mint). Haven't gotten around to installing it yet, but am definitely planning to.

Yeah it is kinda nice, right? I kinda wish Mint was a bit more stable tho...

What kind of stability problems have you been having?

[Dattebayo]

Y'all need to try out Archlinux.

Archlinux is for supernerds, no thanks. I like having a GUI.

What kind of stability problems have you been having?

I gave up on it because its display drivers suck and hooking up multiple monitors often crashes it. I have four monitors and absolutely need them all...
I am still a newb at this stuff though,

[MinisterofDOOM]

Interesting. I've actually found multimonitor support to be better with Mint. Under Kubuntu a lot of Wine programs would lose mouse sync if the OS saw the mouse leave the main monitor but the program did not. Diablo III was unplayable because of this, so I'd have to disable my 2nd monitor to play it.
I also like that Mint leaves secondary monitors "on" (showing the desktop rather than blacked out) even when running fullscreen programs on the main monitor, unlike Kubuntu.

But yeah...Being an ATI owner, I can understand how drivers can make or break things. xorg drivers for my AMD card (6870) are actually pretty stable and functional these days, but a couple years ago they were basically unusable, and AMD's own flgrx drivers were only marginally more stable.

As for GUI, I am fine either way, but if I'm going to have a GUI it needs to be well-designed. I'd rather have no GUI than a crummy one (Unity, Gnome3, Windows Modern). But for everyday computing, most the programs I use are designed for GUI use, so having a GUI desktop environment just makes sense.

Much of my early computer experience came from Apple IIs, DOS PCs, and Windows 3.1, so I'm very comfortable in a command-line, but I also appreciate the ability to utilize my monitor space efficiently with a modern desktop setting. Even in the Windows 95 and 98 days, I still made fairly frequent use of the "DOS prompt". XP and later versions of Windows moving away from command line more completely never really suited me. Even in Windows 8, I have PowerShell set as default over CMD because I use it frequently enough to appreciate its benefits (and you can't do certain things in the classic cmd prompt anymore). That's also why I get picky and always make Terminator my very first application install on any clean Linux install.
OS X's black-on-white terminal color scheme drives me nuts, while we're talking terminal. It just doesn't feel right. Makes it feel like a text editor rather than a terminal emulator.
