Installing Ubuntu
One thing that has befuddled me is how the mini navigator you get when you open a file from within an application, for instance VLC player, you can't locate the physical drives, all you get is the file system where you can open a 'my documents' type folder.

Annoying metadata in MP3 files.
It's all in the battery. It needs to be able to run a set of popper headphones. Those earplug things suck big time. Not only do they hurt my hears if I use them too long because of the way they fit. You aren't supposed to stick anything into your ears as it will interfere with the natural ear gunk balance and make your ears clog up.

By the way where to I change the desktop environment into something other than the standard blood spattered paper theme.

Americans can't do anything right
I'm seasonably fat. I gain about 10 kilograms in the winter and lose it again in the summer. right now I'm 96 kg, which would be around my normal non lardass weigh, I'm taller than most trees though.

Yes, this is true. However the spell checker does not appear to function unless the program is itself is the Danish version.

Installing Ubuntu
This time what i was trying to install was the danish language version of open office on ubuntu. I got this : OOo_3.0.1_LinuxIntel_install_da_deb.tar.gz It's an archive, unzipping it presents you with a bunch of folders. I don't know what to do with those.

[TV] Deadliest Warrior
My personal favourite is he chicken cannon. That's not even unique to the show, they rebuilt what they use to test ****pit windows on commercial planes.

That would be attributed to the jury system, which reflects society, so it would be society and not the legal system which is sexist, and racist. No surprise there.

Twitter
So, if you twitter regularly, does that make you a twit.

Can torrent sites be prosecuted.
It all depends on how much you have to give, so it does not scale 1:1 with criminal damages for a rape victim.

Can torrent sites be prosecuted.
Who's next, google. It's been pretty one sided so far with the copyright holders doing little more than throwing the odd sandbag in the general direction of a deluge. I dunno, I hope they don't win too big. I like the intarweb mostly lawless and wild as opposed to a neatly trimmed suburbia. It's pretty predictable though, whenever a file sharing initiative becomes too popular it inevitably dies. The massive popularity of The Pirate Bay is what generated the pressure for the Swedish government to do something about it.

Hats
I think we can all agree they were evil, but well dressed evil surely. This is a bit remicient of when prince ginger dressed up as Rommel for a campus party. No one would have complained if it had been Nero or Genghis Khan.

The Music Thread
A 'best of' Quincy Jones' arrangements for big bands. He really is remarkably skilled. I can recommend.

Hats
To all you military buffs, this is a seriously cool hat, yes I know it would look out of place anywhere else than perhaps on a dominatrix stripper, but the Nazis won the costume contest hands down.

Hats
Sunglasses are stupid, I would never wear them unless not doing so would mean snow blindness. Some people do look silly with hats, it depends on the shape of the head i suppose, it has to generate an aesthetically pleasing profile. You can't carry a bald or millimetre cut look well if your skull has no contour to it, or grow a beard if it ends up all patchy. Some people are just not that aware of the chasm between what they think they look like, and the actual impression they generate.

Hats
Hats need to be low key, a fedora in a muted colour for instance , baseball caps, well I guess I'm just too old for those unless they actually serve a purpose, ei working outside on a hot day. Part of the statement is that you don't care about people who summarily dismiss hats. That makes you automatically cooler than the rest of the hat hating herd.

What you did today
Radical nationalism among veterans is nothing new, no, I'm not hinting at the Nazis, that would be a stupid comparison, but you get the idea. The US does not seem susceptible to a coup d'etat, but radicals among them may be desensitized to violence and more acutely aware of their own capabilities. They may be suffering from mental illness made worse by prolonged exposure to combat stress. Wasn't Timothy Mcveigh a veteran. It's entirely possible for patriotism to get bent out of whack into something more sinister, especially if they feel betrayed by their leaders.

Movies you have seen recently
Death proof is a better movie, although it spends too much time on pointless banter that just isn't cool in the same sense as Vincent Vega versus Mia Wallace was in Pulp Fiction. The actresses, some of them anyway, seem to have been chosen more for their Russ Meyeresque properties, and worst of all Tarantino is in it for more than 5 seconds, which is about as much as I can stand of him in one helping. Despite all that it's not a bad movie. Kurt Russel is pretty good.
