JAGO

I'm pretty old here myself . Welcome back.

Yeah Firefox is pretty heavy for me, 83MB - but it's cool, I bought another DIMM just for Firefox .

Yeah don't even waste your time with iTunes - just buy the CD. And if you're so concerned with DRM... well perhaps you should buy from different labels to begin with. Andavari knows what I'm talking about!

Yes but is she smiling?

Ayreon - Amazing Flight

The partition resizer is incompatible with NTFS? Really? So when I installed Ubuntu this morning and decided to resize my Windows partition it lied to me? Please double check your "facts" before you get so bold with them. I'm pretty far from a fanboy, but some of the things that people come up with the condemn Linux are ludicrous. For example, when you mentioned that you're turned off by Linux by stating that it's a flavor of Unix... .... on the basis that you have to use the terminal.... I use the terminal in Windows all the time. Windows then must be a flavor of Unix, at least by your standards. Did you know that Mac OS X is a flavor of UNIX? It's true. My mom uses Xubuntu. She doesn't have to do anything in the terminal. Oh, and this being said, I'm not really trying to come off as mean, but you said so many things so boldly without any actual basis.

You can certainly install an aftermarket HSF without taking the motherboard out of the case. However, it'll just be a pain in the neck. If you're curious though I'd check out http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ Hope this helps.

You don't have to do anything via command line. The automatic updates are streamlined - Applications - > System -> Check for Updates.... It'll even update Firefox, Thunderbird, and ask about any of you other applications like Wine, Amarok (I don't use KDE so I don't have this app) and the like. Gaim comes preinstalled, and using the package manager, you can search for other IM programs, other IRC programs, games, media applications, imaging applications, and anything else . If you're curious about the OS, find an older machine, and get Xubuntu. I'm running it on a 1.2GHz Pentium 4 with 128MB of PC2700 RAM, and it runs like a champ! Or if you're really a performance geek, you can look for a window manager like Fluxbox or Blackbox. There's a lot of cool things in the *nix world.

Ahaha no joke.

Edit: Got a new addition to my desk this time

He should be fine - he should be able to enter via his default gateway. I own a Netgear (wireless B for life ).

For tagging, I'd actually go with mp3tag. It's freeware and is much easier to work with for tagging .

I have that first one up there to show off my beautiful Cordoba (and part of my CD collection). But yeah comments and questions appreciated .

I think calling the Beatles as the greatest is kind of a misnomer. It really wasn't that their music was so godly great, but that it was something terrifically new, and there wasn't this great dissension of tastes. But yeah, they're pretty great .

There isn't any NTFS support natively, I do believe. You have to download a few packages, though to be honest I'm not sure what they are. If you're dual booting with multiple hard drives, you'll need to mount them before you can even see them.

Man I always think that if Win98 SE had been updated a little bit (change the file system, defrag engine, a few kernel updates), it'd have been 20x better than XP .

The multiple desktops situation isn't a gimmick. It's practically implemented and is really quite handy. http://www.kde.org/screenshots/images/3.3/snapshot5.png See where it has (in the "Start" bar) 1, 2, 3, 4? You just click a different one and it changes to that desktop. It's really quite awesome .

I'm a Styx fan :|.

If you install the OS, you can update your drivers, which will fix your resolution issues. The soundcard may require a little more work. The documentation for Linux (Gentoo in particular, Ubuntu too though) is amazing.

Consumer electronics? I guess my last processor / motherboard were a bit useless.

Every time I delete them with Unlocker, that stupid WGALOGON process always revives them =\.

Right now, it's Dark Suns - Swanlike, but it could easily be any of these: Windir - Likferd Opeth - Ghost Reveries Disillusion - Back to the times of Splendor Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy Anathema - Judgement Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain Monolithe - Monolithe II Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory Pt. II rridgely, if you're looking to get into the metal scene, I could come up with some good starter reccomendations . Black Metal, Death Metal, and anything else is generally too cacophonous for most people to enjoy.

Totally wicked, but bugs out with JAGO.aspx

You need to rip an .iso (image) of the CD you'd like to emulate. Personally, I recommend DAEMON TOOLS for mounting images.
