After installation, which was quick and painless, I can't get past the first restart where it says a file name has the wrong format. The version I tried was ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64. I'm a bit worried about the AMD part in the name, I mean who's on an AMD these days, but it was the only 64 bit official download and it mentioned nothing about processor architecture. Also my burner has definitely seen better days and coughed several times during the ISO burn, so I went down and got a new one. Going to try it again. This time I'll burn both the 64 and 32 bit versions of the Ubuntu live disk. I have a few remaining worries, such as whether Ubuntu will be able to recognize my already created partition, I read somewhere that Ubuntu does not assign drive letters to partitions like Windows. If I can't use that old partition It would make sense to defrag my HDD first, it's an old installation and that is apt to take a loong time. I would rather not. Also there is the off chance that my board does not support linux oficially. I don't think that will be a problem, it's an Asus Maximus formula, but I might look it up just the same.

I don't get it.

There was a discussion here a while ago which related to envitro fertilsation. The big fuss was whether the state should extend the free treatments they give couples as part of trying to get the birth rate up to gay couples. I can understand the pros and the cons both, a discussion that needed to take place. This blatant discrimination with religious undertones however, aren't we supposed to be past that.

Aren't you a little ashamed about how all this chasing around after gays with legislation is making the country look.

I just ran out of SU, the government tit that has allowed me to work part time only in conjunction with studying. Now I'm faced with working full time the last year, which is also when things get the most intense. That means I have to get very lucky job hunting the next few months or getting finished is going to take a lot longer than 1 year.

Well you won't have a 100 score or a perfect condition weapon until late in the game.

Alien blaster is 125 dps, fires 3 - 5 times faster in vats depending on feats. 1 shot per target, 2 or 3 for a deathclaw.

Assassin's Creed I remember the last time we discussed it here, consensus being that speed past the filler, and the assassination stuff is quite fun You can't speed past the filler. They strap you to your seat Clockwork Orange style and make you watch every torturous second of it every time you play.

Actually the older cheaper mini versions from Creative, the Zen micro series, support both, the menus are also completely customizable. Only problem is that their power supply is insufficient to use a set of proper headphones, only those ghastly earplug thingies. What would be cheaper than using software already produced. The one that broke from Samsung also had no problem browsing it's folders, only it was touch screen, which is seriously overrated. Give me proper buttons any day. I hated jumping around willy nilly constantly retracing my steps because my thumb was 2 millimeters off.

What does this mean but certainly it's a bit of a stretch to say that one of the world's economies most down the drain right now had a sound banking system. This but certainly it's a bit of a stretch to say that one of the world's economies which is [/i ]most down the drain right now had a sound banking system[/b] My keyboard setting is borked I can't write a question mark. I think it's fair to say that the entire banking sector is feeling the pressure, and that a stimulus package may not be deserved, but is necessary. When the economy is in low gear one may have no choice but to jump start it artificially, whether this is socialism or not is kinda beside the point. Without it recovery is going to take longer.

Why would that mean a more expensive product. Seems like a pretty simple implementation to me. We are not talking an entire OS for the player here, just being able to chose and play individual files by location.

I thought all the double headers were good, except the finale. Consider the 4 episodes of dicking around leading up to it. Maybe it's the time constraints, but the writers didn't seem to have a clue how to build tension, everything seemed contrived. Razor, the orginal pilot, pegasus+ ressurection ship, the one where they escaped New Caprica, those were the reasons I kept watching. As for the big ball and chain that was the plot, I always suspected that it might drag the last season down, I was no more disappointed than I expected to be.

hahha I gotta see this.

Which is why you want both folder and meta data sorting. I'm having to destroy a lot of original data just to get a rough handle on the files in the player.

I don't sleep until my eyelids start to feel physically painful, it helps to have the TV on to hypnotize me with boredom. When I do fall asleep I can clock 8 hours no problem. Got some new sleeping pills I'm going to test out. Unfortunately the rest of the world don't run on a vampire clock.

Big guns blow in Vats, but then Vats is a bit boring compared to real time barbecuing. My preference is small guns, explosives and energy weapons. The energy weapons don't need to go that high, their damage once you get plasmas and whatnot make up for it, and of course the Alien blaster is almost automatically your most powerful weapon regardless of stats. The lazer pistols are a waste of time though. The perk that raises big guns by 15 is useful, that way you can find them, use them, and toss them, conserving ammo and carry weight, while that is still an issue.

Ipods are nice, they just cost about half and again what they ought to.

Sometimes I wonder if these high profile security threats are made and released by the anti virus companies to boost their sales.

I though they got progressively more conservative and jaded about the prospect of changing the world around them.

I manage by having a lot of buttons on my mouse. I don't get whats so hard about making everything re-mappable though. It's a mystery why all games don't allow it.

I have figured out how to batch change the data with Mp3 tag. Thanks for the offer though. Pretty silly that they would have such a poor understanding of customer needs, I mean everyone's music collection, at least that I know, is one big mess of metadata. Metadata is surely not enough for browsing your collection. Maybe the supplied \Media Centrale' provides some solutions, but I can rarely get it to run more than a minute before crashing.

At least I don't have a mortage, why is that spelled 'mortgage'...

You forgot to declare that snitch you whacked for the Colombians last year, you are in big trouble mister.

Nope, it has to be a file created with the crappy crash ridden proprietary software called 'Creative centrale', or the player itself. The only playlist the player can create are made from the 'now playing' selection. So if you want something specific you would have to add songs one by one from the 'all tracks' list to your currently playing list, and then save it as a playlist. The next time you add something you would have to wade through everything on the player again to organize it. For now I have found a workaround with Mp3 tag, which is not exactly user friendly, but free and open source. It took me half an hour to figure out how to batch strip and batch rename the album metadata, which is not exactly a perfect solution either, I mean that data is nice to have. Maybe I should organize via the 'genre' data which is pretty useless and superfluous anyway. Too bad my Samsung broke, it used open source codecs and could play any file from any location in the player by browsing its own folders. This thing has a 'purchase this track' menu option for any file regardless of whether it is DRM restricted or not. It's like they can't get away from the wet dream of consumers going on a shopping frenzy in their crappy online store the minute they get the player. Everything is designed around it, and it makes for a poor product. Software wise at least, I can't complain about the technical quality of the player. It even has a hard reset button, which most manufactures are too arrogant about their own code to include.
