5% survival rate would be a 20:1 kill ratio, correct? Look at it this way, if we sort by highest income than we could do without SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment, Welfare and all those other support-the-lazy/incompetent services while not damaging out tax base! *runs*

I have a Brother 7820N that I like. USB or Ethernet interface (useful if you have more than one computer). Nice laser printer, good scanner with ADF, and simple fax with a few autodial slots. Software isn't too troublesome, though it is a memory hog.

Handruin: I'd love a chance to set up a clean, low-contrast, greyscale skin. If you would give me the opportunity somehow. Lost: In your profile you can set the timezone, that should fix your clock ;)

Thanks for the feedback, I will try your suggestions in the morning. It's 12:30AM and I just got home from dancing. I am stoked, though, I got my 7-button mouse working in firefox! ;)

User selectable skins? Can we create them? That would be way-cool.

I'm afraid their isn't a control center, in this one, but I did go into the system settings and play with "connections", "network settings", and "sharing". I was able to set a default username and password for windows shares, which is nice, but my mount still doesn't work. I also went into...

It used to be green? I don't know if I can trust an ape on that one. IIRC it was the same blue it is now...

And this wysiwyg editor will cause me to have too much fun :joker:

Thanks Handy, you rule!

Just from poking about in here it looks really sweet! I'm liking the additional buttons and navigation features.

Thanks much for this analysis, I've definatly been a TrueImage convert for my needs.

According to Adept, KMPlayer is installed, but I don't see it on the menu system? What is the GUI tool for mounting Samba shares you speak of, and how do I get/work it?

I don't know where that sig came from...at least a year old (five systems ago)?

Wow, looks good to me. Considering all the different UI changes I've been dealing with the last 2 days, I think I like it!

Well, as it turns out, making the user the owner of a folder in /mnt/ is a pita. Fine, I'll mount it to /home/david/server. That has the right permissions! The file or folder /home/david/server does not exist. but it does. Help?

chown....got it. Rebooting now...

It seems that the user doing the mount has to be the owner of the directory where I'm trying to mount. Googling now for how to take ownership of a file :oops: I'm not used to being a n00b.

Here's where I'm at currently: installed smbfs created /mnt/server added the following line to fstab: //server/Data /mnt/server smbfs user,username=david,password=password 0 0 Did a suid thing to smbmnt now I get the following error: Could not mount device. The reported error...

After doing a re-install of the whole thing then re-creating the line in fstab...no, it wasn't. So I installed it (these package managers rule) and I now get the following message: Could not mount device. The reported error was: smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts...

Well, I booted to the cd and it seems I have indeed broken something. I can access the network fine from here, but still can't mount a network share locally. Other than that and finding a god media player, I think I'm pretty happy. Based on what I read in the thread linked to earlier, it might...

Cute. But what happens when the computer is off and the drive cools down? Or when it is in an enterprise/industrial environment and the abient gets a tad warm?

New error message is: Could not mount device. The reported error was: Yes, that is it. Helpful, no?

OK, sometime during this process, something else broke. Now any time I try to connect to my server, it times out. Help?

After trying to follow these directions and significant googling, here's where I think I am: A username and password that has permissions to the windows share? Check. Check. I've been all over this config and can't find a firewall. But I was able to browse to the share, so check, I think. I...

I got VLC added even though it isn't a kubuntu app (learned how to manage repositories, and create shortcuts to apps, and where the apps are located in the first place). But it still can't connect directly to a Samba share! WTF? Help please?

No, just tear a laptop drive in half with your bare hands ;)

Progess: 1. Done 2. Done 3. Done 4. Minor googling- looks like it would be easiest to export from inside outlook into something standardized, then import. Put off til tomorrow. 5. New highest priority - It seems that the players included can't play media that's on a Samba share AND don't know...

Considering it's been a year and a half since my last attempt, I've decided to have another go. Earlier this evening I accidently tore my workstation hard drive in half (I'd make Coug proud, don't ask). When I was considering re-installing windows the same night I was furious with them over...

In case you're curious, this is a video done at my main hangout in SF. Luciana Valle is one of the best in the world, and Homer is one of the local hotshots.

I'm a bit assymetrical. I do considerable "excessive" shaving on my right side, and only the typical shaving on the left (My dance partner's right ear is against my right cheek - hence the additional attention). I find the irritation on my left side gone after a few seconds under the very hot...

PATA Yick.

Count yourself lucky. Here's the lifespan on mine: Day 1: Use it Day 2: Use it Day 3: Realize my GF has used it on her legs and it's completely destroyed, throw it away, get a new one.

Ahem. Need I point out that I signed up 9 months before honold and only 14 days after you?

The thing that I find makes the most difference is the steaming hot towel they lay on your face before and after. After getting a great straight-razor shave in Nepal, I looked into all the possible options. These days I use a telescoping convex mirror and shave in the shower. It's the most...

Plenty.

Savings in gas is a minor point, keeping the mileage down on my current car is another factor. It already has well over 100k miles on it, and I'm currently doing about 1,000mi/week. It suits my needs for hauling/towing/passengers quite well. The point of the bike would be to fill the nitche of...

[minor musings] 2AM, just got home from SF. Many people think I'm crazy driving ~600mi/week for dancing, but I think I've figured it out. The feeling I get while getting ready and driving to a milonga is the same as a first date; nervous, anxious, but still very interested in what is going to...

You hit it on the head, I think. When it comes down to it, people want money more than they want representation. Most people these days think representation is a way for them to look out for their interests, so they can make money. If someone offers them a "shortcut", many are shortsighted...

I have played golf. For a while it was a business neccesity, and I played quite regularly. Really long drives and a 150+yd lob wedge compensated well for my lack of putting, allowing me to brag of a 6 handicap. But I don't play anymore, it's not that interesting to me. It, like most ball-based...

I feel it's important for there to be an element of danger in my hobbies. If you are playing a safe type of sport, you never know the caliber of the others playing with you. When we're racing in the open ocean; just the fact that someone has done it before, lived, and choose to do it again...

I've never really been attracted to sports where balls are involved; I guess I've been happy with the pair I have. *ducks* Sailing, Auto Racing, Rock Climbing. Still no fun to watch, but at least you can die doing it. That tends to keep the excitement up while competing.

1024x768? Try 1400x1080 in HL2 , 1920x1400 in LOTR-BFME2, and 1600x1200 in BF2; all with maximum eye-candy.

The hostname of their server is: [Reached Destination]hey.mpaa.and.apb.bite.my.shiny.metal.ass.thepiratebay.org.

When producing a large volume of one of a kind pieces, outsourcing can be very expensive.

Well, I ordered said Antec P150 and it shipped with an Antec NEO(high efficency) 430W power supply wherre the fan doesn't spin. Great. Just thought I'd add my experience.

That would be Tea. Tell her to keep her hands to herself.

At the gamecenter I'm using X1600s @ 2048x1536 on a Sony GDM-500 (or something) 24" widescreen CRT. The 2D seems pretty good to me.

On their way, should be good. Thanks guys.

This would be the one? And heat output is sufficiently low?
