What is that good about Linux?
Linux is awesome because using it gives you the right.. no.. the duty, to act like a gigantic DOUCHE to everybody who so much as breathes the same air that has been through the cooling system of a computer that uses an OS that costs money. Linux is good yes, but for gods sake it isnt a goddam necessity. Its not like Betty Higgins the octogenarian who has had her internet connection forced upon her by her telecom company NEEEEEEEEDS tighter security, faster file transfer speed, access to a massive library of open source software and 10 billion different shades of "elitist grey" to colour her semi transparent icon dock. Why is Linux so underappreciated? Because most people would assume the words command line refer to some sort of military heirarchy and think that the kernel is a guy famous for his fried chicken. "Do you often use word to type up documents Mr. [puncture]ingsworth? " "NO! I'm not a corporate tool like you! I use Openoffice 3.000010293 Alpha build!" Buying windows machines does not make you a Bill Gates' personal gimp, its the bloody industry standard. Millions upon millions of people use it because its tried and tested GOOD, and they can do without a buggy as hell distro that has a raft of built in features that tell them exactly how long, on a scale of one to hipster, they need to spend flaunting their screwbuntu hackintosh laptop in starbucks each day. er.. I went off on a tangent there.. poncey linux users get on my nerves. Linux - A damn good OS for servers and PC professionals Windows - The rest of us WONT NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE. (this wasnt aimed at anybody in here.. more at the entire userbase of Digg, slashdot and reddit.)

Naruto - anime/manga
You... called yourself "naruto" and then believe that cad is the one "full of fail"? How can people enjoy that show? I mean at least with DBZ it's pretty funny too to make up for the badness of it, Naruto is just... an annoyance. Naruto is watchable as long as you arent expecting anything remotely resembling depth. I watched for the first 8 or so episodes I watched subbed I was thinking "wow! This is really rather good." which rapidly turned into "for gods sake... just get on with it" around episode 30. I stopped watching it at the start of shippuden, and contrary to people who are addicted to powerlevel raising like bloody crack cocaine, I thought some of the filler arcs were good. A comedy style ninja village anime worked well. As with most shounen, the fans are worse than the anime itself.

Text adventure games
People of a decent age, and also fans of old school gaming, will know and love the old infocom games. I was reminded of them whilst reading an article the other day, and started to play through a couple again. These games are HARD to do without any help, and are pretty well written. (well they'd have to be, since they have nothing else to go on.) I thought I'd share a site I found which has a pretty big selection of the most famous ones. http://www.xs4all.nl/~pot/infocom/ if you're new to these, start off with Zork 1 - The Great Underground Empire Basically, just type in what you want to do. simple as that.

Parental Controls, are you cursed by them?
unlucky. I've always had pretty free reign of the net, my parents trust me I guess. Sometimes I think filters might be a good thing. I've seen some pretty weird [cabbage] that I'd rather not have. Inconspicuous site names can often hold VERY unwanted suprises.

Guitar Hero/Rock Band Discussion thread
My friend and I got bored of the easy stuff that is GHII and III and we've decided to go old skool and tackle the hard [cabbage]. Bought a copy of GH1, and we're gonna suck horribly at it, but it'll be damn fun.

GCSE Results Thread, 21st Aug
Actually, I'd guess that they are about as intelligent or more intelligent than the general population. . nobody. and I mean NOBODY functioning in today's society can score 0 on a foundation maths paper. We were doing practice papers in maths before we took ours, and I grabbed a foundation one for a laugh, and 100%ed the damn thing in about 10 minutes. The first question was "write out the number 256 in words". the second question was "what is 12 multiplied by 7?"

on a scale of 1 to [bleeping] stupid, radio one DJs are right up there with Jade Goody and George Bush's secret lovechildren. Makes me feel better about my A tbh.

Ads that actually work
I watch barely any telly, and ablock plus is my friend, so the only real ads I see are at the cinema, and I've been going a lot recently... So much so that I actually know the script for that godawful Orange advert with Rob Lowe. They really need to come up with another one already, that ones been on for about 3 months worth of films. And the radio one ad gets on my nerves as well, because its just so damn LONG. Big screen ads need to be something special, not just the TV ones, but longer.

FFFFF YIFF IN HELL Ha, what is it with certain people and their hatred of Furries? :roll: you want to make love to a person dressed up as my pet cat. I'm not sure my pet cat is comfortable with this I like my pet cat I'm looking out for his best interests. in all seriousness though, I'll hold nothing against you for being a furry, I just think its a bit weird.

Manga/Anime Discussion
ok this completely flew under my radar. Who the hell are they making it about? you cant really have yutaka walking around as a "senior" girl, you'd have to have a bloody foetus as a first year by comparison. I have no idea, but id assume so. I expect itll reverse the roles, so the younger year is now the focus and having the original crew make guest appearances. They had better keep that GAR [bleep] Shiraishi, though. ALL HAIL BRITTANIA! also, shiraishi is nothing compared to anime tenchou.

Sony announces PSP-3000
if you arent being sarcastic, then first model was 100X range ( I think there were 2 or maybe 3 versions) second was 200X range - the slim edition, there are at least 3 different models of this. This is the third model, which means its the 300X range.

Biology - A* Chemistry - A* Physics - A Maths - A English Language - A English Literature - A ICT - A German - A Latin - C History - C pretty pleased. The only ones I'm continuing are the top 4, and the marks are way above what I needed to get into the courses so... go me. \ Considering I dont think I did more than 2 hours worth of revision for all 10 in total its a damn decent outcome.

Death Note
oh yeah, completely forgot about that. When he finally does it, and then asks her if she wants to use his phone, just to mock her, that was brilliant. And the way she walked up the gallows was truly truly beautifuly done. oh yeah, and the part when Light "returns" in the helicopter. Although they ruined it with the dub, this JUST AS PLANNED!! moment makes lelouche look like a novice.
