  12/07/2003 - Stoof O' da DAAAAAAAY! [TV - Spy School]

Buncha stoof.

Someone, in some forum somewhere, asked why people chose Linux over Windows, instead of simply switching all the way, and going to a Mac. Here's a response:

"Well, to start with, PC hardware is really cheap - sometimes to the point of being free. There's also the basic difference between the Mac way of doing things (which is that Apple knows best, and it's best not to trouble users with too many options) and the Linux way of doing things (which is to assume the user is a freaking genius, so give them some reasonable defaults, some instructions, and let them do anything they want even if it may destroy their equipment). Of course, if you are a freaking genius, this means Linux totally rocks for you."

Any freaking genius' up in heea? I thought so.

Microsoft has pretty clearly stated that blogging will be a part of Longhorn, thier next OS. The blogging software is called "theSpoke", and is aimed mostly at the younger blogging crowd. For some reason, it assumes everyone knows a programming language, or something.

I gave it a spin. Not real bad, but not great, by any means.

Although, I love having a Linux icon.

Folin's dad is crazy. He wants him to buy his own computer, and won't let him on until he buys his computer. He went so far as to even CHANGE HIS LOGON PASSWORD. So, if anyone knows a good XP Password cracker, i'd be obliged. But if not, i'll be able to find it.

A big ol' list of places that let you tweak Windows.

Scrubs was way funny the other night.

Ganked fron Jen, who ganked from xingvision, who ganked it from someone else. In the comment box (or e-mail it to me, whatever) respond to these questions.

1. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
2. Am I loveable?
3. How long have you known me?
4. When and how did we first meet?
5. What was your first impression?
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
7. What do you think my weakness is?
8. Do you think I'll get married?
9. What makes me happy?
10. What makes me sad?
11. What reminds you of me?
12. If you could give me anything what would it be?
13. How well do you know me?
14. When's the last time you saw me?
15. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
16. Do you think I could kill someone?
17. Describe me in one word.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
20. Are you going to put this on your livejournal and see what I say about you?

Fun!

I oughta wrap this up.

*TEH JERB!*

After that HOT oven...this ice feels good.
