Spotify is so dumb. I mean incredibly, inconceivably dumb. I'm listening to modern classical and then it gives me these ads like "FROM THE HOTTEST FILM OF THE YEAR" (Talking about "Sex and the City 2"- almost the antithesis of my favorite music genre) -And then I exit Spotify because it's quicker than listening to the stupid ad. Come to think of that, I could write a two line script and assign it a shortcut, so when an ad comes on, I just press the shortcut and bam- Spotify is gone and started up again. Imma do that now. e: ZING. Done.

Yeah I don't know why I would want to pay for an inferior language, looking at its syntax it does look way too verbose. PHP does just about anything, like a book I read on it said, you don't need to know all the features to use it a lot. It works for hobbyist programmers but still has the feature set to scale up to an enterprise website.

Wait, what is it that you like better and to your knowledge is quite limited? Answer carefully.

Gratz Sam and Romy! :D

Seriously people use hide tags. It takes forever to get to the bottom of this page, even on an 800kbps connection.

I have hardly touched it for nearly a year now.

You people still hang out on MSN, or have you moved on to better things?

Oh wow. There is so much junk in my images folder, a lot of stuff that I haven't showed anyone. I think I'll post some of it here. Note: I made a script to add [ img] tags to the URL of each picture faster than I uploaded them lol. Here's the script:

Speaking of Python, on Saturday when I was bored I started writing a calculator app for the Blender 2.5 interface (Something I've had need of myself, just thought it would be good to integrate it into the interface so you don't have to switch windows or anything). Like most of my other programming endeavours it didn't go well but I'm considering asking for help on the Blenderartist.org forums where all the coders are. I'm just afraid that someone will see my thread and finish coding it before they finish reading my post. :razz:

No, I'm not going to wordpress it and I have no plans to sell it. Although, if you know some place where I could sell it, I might do so.

Yeah I hadn't touched the sidebar for a while. Here's the current version:

Apparently FluxBB is a fork of PunBB, which in my experience has very little to offer in terms of features. :|

You know, the other day I came across the best free, no setup phpBB3 hosting site I've ever seen- Particularly because it allows you to edit the theme, which is a considerable amount of control compared to other sites. http://phpbb.net/ I would still, however, recommend hosting it yourself if you have a server available. Installation isn't that hard and the level of control you get is so worth it. If you decide to do this, I would be glad to help you on this thread and I'm sure there are lots of other phpBB3 fans around here that could help you with that too.

I've had a phone since I was 9. It was useful, helped me socially, was interesting, etc. You don't seem to have made any valid arguments; if you aren't just trolling and actually think what you're writing you are either really deluded or overreacting. Or both. You know clothes? It's horrible that people expect you to have them, people are so dependent on them, they are social norms etc. People are the slaves of clothes. Imagine if your car broke down, you would need clothes- Blah blah blah you get the point. Cellphones are different? Cellphones are cheap and disposable, easy to find, and people can become addicted to clothes too (As with just about anything). You have to know where they are all the time? So what, you could say the same about your keys, or, for that matter, your clothes. Yeah, it's technology. Who cares. Get over it. As for the "Risk" of cancer, I don't have time to link you directly to an article, but here's the google search I did for it, they're the first results: http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=slashdot+cellphones+radiation+cancer

Long story short I moved from near Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, to near Helsinki, Finland what feels like my whole life ago. Am I happy with it here? Not really. First of all there's the language. As you can probably guess Finnish is dominant, what you may not know is that there is a minority of Swedish-speaking people, mostly the descendants of the Swedish-speaking population created when Finland was occupied by Sweden for the better part of 700 years. Finnish is horrible. I've been learning it for nine years with nearly no results. Swedish is not. I learned it fluently in a year. But Finnish dominance remains, and my most-said phrase is "Do you speak Swedish or English?". Second of all there's the fact that I live like 30 or so km from anything, i.e. Helsinki. But that's a small complaint compared to #1.

Here we have a choice- Religion or Ethics. I'm in Ethics. I still disagree with the system though; It is the parent's choices, not the students, to go to one or the other. Nobody in Religion believes in what they're taught, which is apparently half fact about different religions, half Lutheran. Nobody in Ethics really does anything, we just go through obvious stuff and have a test every 18 or so weeks. But when the sun goes down it's all a waste of time. As I said in Religion nobody believes what they're being taught, and I haven't learned much, if anything, from Ethics, especially since we have just one hour per week.

Introduce him to everyone you can while he's still young. Let him meet lots, and I mean lots of other dogs and people so that he's used to it. Not doing that was part of the mistake we made with our first dog, and we payed dearly. Do it.

First of all, like Nyosuht said it's much better to get the drivers from Ubuntu's automated installer; If you install them yourself like I do (To get the very latest drivers for a program I use, games run fine on older drivers) you have to stop the X server (Read: Go into text-only mode) and install it from a command line. And, Steam is coming out for Linux this summer! :-D (Which isn't to say that Steam doesn't work fine through WINE already, Gmod runs pretty smoothly and I'm sure other source-based games do too)

Me too, didn't take me long to switch back. I missed the Linux command line too much. Window's restrictive, illogical CLI is useless and annoying to use.

Yeah it's highly unlikely. The closest thing I can think of is setting "subscribe to topics that I post on" to on, and setting up an email filter to search the summary for quotes. Although that wouldn't work every time.

Transparency: Since the code is open, you also know that your data is being treated with respect. Freedom: Not only to view the code but you can do just about whatever you want with the programs. You don't need to worry about activation keys if something breaks. You can get a deeper understanding of the system, among other things since the Linux command line is so well documented. Runs on pretty much anything. I have the Karmic Koala running on a 12 year old laptop (366MhZ/256MB/No graphics acceleration). It boots up in about a minute, something my desktop couldn't do with a fresh install of Vista. The problem with Windows 7 is that it's locked into new hardware; Ubuntu runs decently on lots of hardware. There's no sudden cutoff where the boot speed goes up to minutes. The system makes so much sense! If you want lots of eyecandy, Kubuntu/KDE offers it.

Working on a CLI decimal to binary converter in C, just to prove to my sister that I am, indeed, teh h4x0r. Not going so well, having problems with my error checking. You know, I should probably write the converter first and worry about whether the input is a number or not later, but yeah. I guess I'm still too used to PHP forms. Will post the source if I ever finish it.

I'm really sensitive to caffeine, or then I'm just sensitive to really dark coffee, which is what I drink, albeit only once a week I'm so sensitive. Really enjoy it though. I'm not a big fan of energy drinks, I tasted a local brand once (Battery) and thought it tasted OK but I don't like the feeling when I have too much caffeine, which isn't much for me, literally half a deciliter of pretty dark coffee will affect me for the rest of the day.

Yeah HD mode. (Standard detail is fixed width anyway, I think).
