Why do we know Mike didn't want anyone to use his sink? He took the fawcett with him!

7.7 million actually, but who's counting? I really don't want torrents to move over to HTTPS (443) because then ANY traffic over that port is automatically considered to be pirate activity...

Nano FTW! Can't stand vim in cli, but i did grab gvim. Great replacement for gedit!

Yeah I'm trying it out again right now and its going terribly slow. It seems they finally figured out how to cap the guest accounts to get some more revenue for the premium accounts. I'm toying with the idea to try it out for a month and see how it stacks up to the OMGIRC giganews SSL newsgroups account.

Completely agree ... but as we all know, !

Proof. (Nuff said)

I know very little (ok, nothing) about java scripting. Care to share on how that could be my friend?

Absolutely LOVE my AMD Athlon X2 chip. I built it with a gaming rig setup roughly 2 1/2 years ago and it's still kicking some ass today :) Some of our users on IRC are running the new i7 intel chips and love them. I also like how you can OC the i7's and when the thermal sensor reads that its getting to warm to keep up with performance, it starts to under clock the chip to cool it back off. Pretty neat, IMHO. I 100% agree with bringing back the Athlon flagship. I would want nothing more from AMD.

Wow. Where do i start with this one? 1) Your local PD isn't sitting around monitoring everyone's wifi to ensure that skiddies like yourself arent phreaking some WEP. If you think they're going to bust down your door because you're stealing some bandwidth, then you're retarded. (no offense) 2) Some tips if you are using someones wifi connection. When possible try to use a secure tunnel (VPN, SSL, SSH proxy) because if it was so easy for you get onto that access point, who knows who else is eating up your yummy packets. 3) There are tons and tons of proxy solutions, and this is what you're seeking. Google is your friend. Well played sir.

I got Shannon's back on this one. I think she merely found the way the OP spoke to be entertaining. Laughing to one self isn't "being mean to new comers" at all, just pointing out she was entertained by the post. Ease up nerds. EDIT: This made me smile :) I find myself doing that sometimes! Glad im not the only one!

You don't have to tell me twice! Thanks for the compliment ;) I like teaching her about Ubuntu as well as others on our IRC network. Almost 85% of our users have switched to linux (of all variants). We like to swap tips and help troubleshoot each others setups. It's quite entertaining and you learn a lot from others.

We totally just hi-jacked this thread, but oh well.. I have her in terminal doing the usual sudo apt-get install's. She actually prefers the terminal than the package manager GUI. I'm not sure what auto-apt is, but you bet i will be googleing it here in a sec :) Thanks for the tip!

I recently did a full install (non-dual boot) of Ubuntu 8.04 for my gf on her laptop. She's sat there watching me troubleshoot things and install cool programs enough that she's now surpassing my expectations. She installed some photo program that you can sort and edit photos in 3D live. Sure she didn't build it from source, but the fact that she found something she liked and got it working is pretty amazing. Her ubuntu interface is all tricked out now, very girly, but then again, she's a girl. She loves Linux now, and I couldn't be more proud.

I am completely thrown back by your reply. It can only mean one of two things: 1) It is the uninformed users like yourself that are fueling these phishing scams by actually believing it and upping their success rate. or 2) You are the one that is sending out the phishing scam and are trying to prove its legitimacy so you can up your success rate. Thoughts?

There are tons of free Linux books on the net, just google or bing it. (omg did i just say bing it?.. wtf man) One of my favorite sites: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse Enjoy.

if not serious, he could be a bot. ( )

Usenet is not free. You either pay for a monthly subscription (such as on giganews) or you can use the newsgroups provided by your ISP (which you are still paying for). ISP's limit the amount of traffic for newsgroups tremendously, so its better to go with a monthly subscription with your fav usenet site. In either scenario you are going to have to pay money, i am unaware of any "free usenet" service. If it exists, please enlighten me :)

This is shopped. I've seen quite a lot of shops in my time and this one is shopped. </internet.meme>

This happened to an old box i've had around for YEARS. Some weird board (PC Chips?) with a AMD 1.8ghz Sempr0n CPU. One day the computer wouldn't power up at all. The fans (CPU, Case, PS, ect) would start to spin but then you would year the voltage being cut from the entire board and all the fans would stop. I first tested with a different power supply, same issue. So i took out all the hardware, i mean everything, no ram, no cpu, just the board and PS. Guess there's some fail safe on it because it wouldnt power up unless there was RAM and a CPU present. To this day it does the same thing, starts to power up, then cuts out. I always blamed it on the cheap CPU. I guess i could go buy one for like $12 in todays market :)

My bad, they had it in the repos back in Hardy. You can get the source and build it yourself now: http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sour...rc-20080406.tgz If you need any assistance, let me know.

Wow, i didn't think people would be having so many issues with the URL. I have edited the URL in the first post to reflect the CORRECT path, i apologize about this issue as i was unaware of their SSL certificate problem.

I just used apt-get from the ubuntu repos.

That's what i was thinking. Some of the more popular torrents have direct download links, others just use Furk as a proxy, so it's still seeding back for you.

woops! Sorry about that!
