    Motorcyclist dies in an accident infront of my work this morning

    So the road infront of my building was closed today (major road in DC) because an idiot on a motorcycle got into an accident with a dump truck. I went outside to see the body pinned under the wheel of the truck; very gruesome sight. I never thought I'd see something like that. In any case, I...

    Kubuntu question

    Just installed Kubuntu on my second HD. When I choose 'ubuntu' from the GRUB boot loader, it takes me to a linux command prompt. How do I get it to boot into Linux, or do I have to type a string to get it to do so? If so, what's the string? Did I do something wrong when installing? Thanks.

    Canon hasn't released any printer drivers for Windows XP x64, and according to something I read recently, they "have no plans to in the immediate future". I'm trying to install my PIXMA IP5000. Does anyone have this printer and know if there are any 3rd party drivers that work? Thanks.

    If you want to pick up women, learn to dance

    For all you geeks, I figured I'd offer a little advice regarding women. If you're looking to pick up a gal, learn to dance. There are plenty of places to dance anywhere you go, moreso in major cities of course. Don't bother with club dancing, gyrating to house music is not impressive. Learn West...

    Converting iTunes files to .mp3

    I haven't found anything in the licencing agreement that specifically states you cannot convert the .m4p files from iTunes to .mp3. After all, you paid a buck for a song, you should be able to convert it. Is there any way to do this? It seems normal converter programs do not work. Burning to a...
