I personally hate the lord of the rings books. Too boring.

Oh and I do not think my post was edited. It was the post about satan, mind control, and junk in the bible...

But who knows maybe the CIA paid off RMS to modify gcc so when the linux kernel is compiled it produces a kernel with a fatal back door! That way not as many people would notice. I mean who really looks at gcc's code?

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

yes it will probably detect your ethernet card.

I recommend you do a base install and then install the your required packages. (e.g choose no mirror during the setup). Then add the mirror:
deb ftp.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free (not I might be wrong I have not used debian in awhile) to your /etc/apt/sources.list (I might be wrong about this too)

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

lol, not with my firewall and os (I can almost hear CIA agents snickering ;-)

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

yeah they look at individual disks.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

do you know that the CIA can extract data by looking at the harddrive with a microscope?

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

to get back your data supposedly putting your harddrive in the freezer helps...

um why did I get an infraction? How was I not pleasent?

Most atheists I think are primarily liberal but do not necessarly associate themselves with a particular party. For example I believe in draconian punishment for law breakers (like a republican or conservative), very strict laws (no smoking anywhere etc.), very high taxes (like a liberal), and against patents and copyrights. (like a liberal I guess...) So my views are a mix of both parties...with that said I would be more likely to vote for a liberal...

Rashakil Fol commented: If you want to talk about your views, go to the Sturm's Off-Topic Spatulations thread. Also, you're not a liberal; you're a totalitarian. Mis-terminology does not belong in book threads either. -1

well maybe not satan, but it is quite possible to control a person with subtle manipulation tricks. In fact supposedly the right combination of lights can permanetly damage a persons brain...

lvl 2 is easy. As he said look at the url. Its really a natural 3 lvl. Because notpron would be very easy if they used a regular numbering technique (e.g /question1 , /question2, /question3)

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

heres a good link. Apparently people have some problems with the coding techniques in this tutorial so be advised.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

Or you could install this

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

yeah but I am fed up with debians "clean" repos. The debian people just strike me as a bunch of arrogant elitists that some how think that i386 optimization is as fast as i686. I really liked debian but it wasn't fast enough. Its file system was also screwed up. What is with a media and a mnt directory?

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

thats why I like arch, there is less then legal stuff in its repos.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

I like mplayer for linux.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

the tatoo?

Microsoft office is the only microsoft product that I actually like, much superior to open office... Regardless I hate word processors.... latex is better ;-) (and it looks better)

heres the download..

its quite fun. In fact its the most addicting games I have ever played...

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

actually thats my webbrowser opera. My wm is evilwm, definitely not vistaish...

Using the word "they" is grammatically incorrect in that situation.

>Generally (unless something goes wrong or you want to be a power user) you dont need to use the command line.

Um to be a good linux user you _have_ to use the command line. You can try to avoid it but it is unavoidable. There will be some problem that you need to fix with the command line. Here is my desktop btw:

I was just wondering if any one here plays nethack? I do and my highest score is 9600( yes I know I suck)

I have serious reservations about harry potters' books. One could read it but for the depth of incantations and voodoo/magic involved.
Yes, Yes it is fiction, but one wonders whether those things written about in such detail are sincerely the figment of the writers imagination!

seriously? You got to be kidding. You got to wonder if god is a figment of YOUR imagination. You think the writers delusional? So your saying that if you write in detail, essentially being a good writer, your delusional. Sure.... I have written a few short stories before and I seem quite sane.

And whats wrong with "voodoo" magic besides the fact that it is a bunch of crap?

And whats different with harry potter? The next thing you will be saying is that fiction should be illegal.

um a not very good solution is to ls to a file, read the file and operate on it.

Actually it will. Do not know if this is credible but its interesting.

Well I don't use windows do I?

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

only 1 for a base system.

My friend uses debian w/ no swap and he has not had problems.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

get a real distro, debian should be good for you. And yes you will be. Debian and some other distros do not include that much proprietary software in their repositories. So you might have to get it manually.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

the whole Dragon Lance series is the best. The drizzt series is also awesome. Both are far superior to more popular books (e.g lord of the rings, harry potter, eragon)

I do not use photoshop. What open src apps use it? And anyways I have 2 gigs of swap space.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

Sure they are. I have been using linux for ~4 months. I installed gentoo, slackware, and arch without a hitch.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

Its grammatically incorrect. Just use "he." People who actually care are stupid.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

who is "they." I thought we were talking about one person? (don't correct other peoples grammar if your own is crappy)

Actually most scientific papers that address global warming agree that it is happening.

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

Um maybe he is asking for motivation and inspiration. Instead people give him insults and derogatory comments. Is he lazy just because he doesn't like programming in qbasic?

Sturm 270 Veteran Poster

You can get rid of swap with 1 gig. I have swap just for the heck of it.

Look at open source code. There are hundreds of millions of lines of open source code in the GNU OS.

There you are utterly wrong! It's far from accepted by "most" scientists, only by most "scientists" (meaning junk science adherents like Al Gore).
Unless of course you mean the knowledge that without the atmosphere trapping heat the temperature on this planet would be roughly -15C on average instead of +15C, but that's not what those "scientists" mean when they say "Global Warming".

But you are excused, the propaganda is indeed relentless and we all know what constantly bombarding people with propaganda while preventing the publication of the truth will do.

Who exactly are you talking about? My dad is a "real" scientist. He believes in global warming. My friends dad works at NOAA as a programmer/scientist and he believes in global warming, So who exactly are these scientists that do not believe in global warming? Regardless, the video advocates the proper course of action.
