Spite: Run Linux and Windows On Same Machine

nospam@example.com (Spite) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 10:28:24 -0400

Run Linux and Windows On Same Machine

I thrashed with Fedora 8, then upgraded to Fed 9. Its good, it works really well, but not perfectly. I'd always shyed away from Ubuntu as it seemed so popular - The Ford Focus of Linux I thought.

Then I tried Kubuntu dual boot with XP. Once you try Ubuntu in whichever flavour, you wonder why you you spent all that time typing in terminals and trolling forums (fori ?) for the correct commands to unpack, install and run software that never seemed to work 100% in the end anyway.

The auto partitioning on installation is a godsend to the wary of 'NIX OS.

They should change their motto to "Ubuntu: Because Life is Hard Enough"

What happened at the YahELite forum BTW?

Have fun and all that.

cyberdyne: Microsoft Offers To Buy Yahoo

Can't believe they've pulled out. Good news for Google of course, but surprised Bill Gates hasn't offered to buy them out before now too !!!

cyberdyne: Cloverfield

nospam@example.com (cyberdyne) — Mon, 05 May 2008 13:17:34 -0400

Totally agree, wasn't impressed at all with Cloverfield.
Recent films I've enjoyed a lot have been 'No country for old men' & 'I am legend'. '30 days of night' was pretty good too, but didnt like the main vampire, looked like the frankie from 'frankie goes to hollywood' !!

Pix: Microsoft Offers To Buy Yahoo

Yahoo has already started to reduce it's worker by over a 1,000 as a means of saving money. MS couldn't do any more damage than Yahoo itself has done the past few years. Yahoo has been buying up companies and wrecking them..ie MusicMatch. Yahoo bought it and replaced it with YahMusic and it doesn't work. Same with their photo program in 360. It worked good then they bought out Flickr and that was trashed. Right now Chat is full of bots and spammers. In short Yahoo has gone down hill fast so they'd better do something quick.

Just a thought. If either wanted to charge users they'd get a surprise. No one with a thinking brain would buy. By the way, I got your link off Dermots website.
Cheers!

Peachy,: Improved My Yahoo! Status Checker

I have logged into Messenger, it shows me not online, i go online and it still says off line, i go visible, still not online. No matter what my status is it still shows "Off LIne". I'm also using Ytunnel, will that block anything?

Peachy!!!

Spite: Bloody Shops

LMAO to use a common cliche.

I meant to reply to the YahELite forum post in response to mine about small people and lights on houses.

Begs the question what do inflatable polar bears have to do with a man born in Palestine over 2000 years ago? Some of the abodes in my neck of the woods can only be described as festooned. The words Carbon and Footprint spring to mind.

I take what I want from the hype (which is very little) and leave the rest for everyone else that feels compelled to spend their hard earned cash on trite. I'm damn sure you do the same.

Have fun and all that. Good luck with whatever the weather throws at you this w/e.

The version of messenger you are using makes no difference. If you are online and not invisible it will show you as online otherwise it will show you as offline.

Dunc: Yahoo! Answers Stupidity

nospam@example.com (Dunc) — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 20:56:12 -0400

Yahoo is a load of bollocks.. I have given up on answering questions on that due to the amount of morons asking 'plzzzzz hlp mee' and questions not worthy of a sensible reply.
Your answer was good compared to a lot of them on there! I sometimes go through telling the kiddies to stop posting their homework assignments on there when I have a bored moment.

Wormster-uk: Yahoo! Answers cont

For some reason many of these large websites such as Yahoo seem to ban users in an instant and don't tend to give a reason why. MySpace is another website that seems really happy to just remove people's accounts for no real reason. Maybe it's a power thing and at the same time very annoying!

Pony99CA: Yahoo! Answers

But isn't that true of most forums? People don't bother to search, and end up asking the same question that 50 other people have asked. (In fact, isn't that why FAQ lists got started?)

I participate in several Windows Mobile forums, and when somebody asks a FAQ, I give them the answer and also tell them the search terms they should have used to find the answer (or the right place to ask the question).

Raymondo: Bristol and Slavery

nospam@example.com (Raymondo) — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 21:31:19 -0400

I am a Proud Bristolian as my Father, his Father and his Father before, I am 55 years old I served my country for 20 years including times of armed conflict, I came from a family that had fought in world wars and ended up with nothing other than a roof over there heads and the clothes on there backs, but we were and are a family, I built my own business and now employ 7 people. I have NOTHING to apologise for, and frankly take offence at the suggestion. Slavery although brutal distasteful and a god awful thing it is History and has its place there. My Father, and millions like him, died from Lung cancer over 20 years ago, I will not be asking for John Rolfe to be erased from history for commercialising tobacco.
