    Help me remove porn

    some people simply do not understand how other people can control desires. out of all the people who use porno, very few actually get "addicted". and most of those people probably get addicted to other things very easily too. i'm using the term 'addicted' in the true, medical sense. i'm...

    Help me remove porn

    following that logic, yes we should. people get addicted to lots of things. addictions to tobacco, gambling, alcohol, and food (i forgot about this one, very important) are FAR more common than addictions to porno. sure, i look at porn every day, but it does not mean i am addicted. if i...

    Anatomy of a well-intentioned Linux Troll

    ive had a redhat box for years now, since about 1997 or so, i think? i never used it very much, and never bothered to learn much about it. i built a tech tour box (dual opteron 246) and decided that windows would never touch that machine. it's been about 4 months now, i tried ubuntu at first...

    return policy for hypersonic laptop, i'm a little confused

    A friend asked me a question

    here's how i differ from you. i would say "why does the average user want to use windows? they just want to word process, check e-mail, play flash games, watch a dvd...nothing that linux can't do." my parents, who know nothing about computers, and i mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about computers...

    Why did Firefox go completely kuckoo on me?

    right. IF firefox crashes and you are asked to create another profile, you still have an instance of firefox running. ctrl-alt-del and close it, you wont be asked again (until the next crash) :) CJ

    is there any stress-testing software for linux?

    get a boot cd and boot from it, no OS required...google "ultimate boot cd" or "hiren's boot cd". one of them should have prime95 on it, to push your cpu, balls to the wall for a few days, or until you are satisfied. install linux, and enjoy! CJ

    GTA San Andreas $29.99 at CUSA this Sunday

    the local computer "shop" (in quotes for a reason) had no idea what rounded cables were for, and couldnt comprehend why someone would want them when i tried to explain it. even the guy in the back who actually built the systems had no idea what i was talking about. does anyone else find that...
