I remember when IE was the best browser. My friends and I always used to put notices on our splash pages asking people to use IE and up their resolution to 800x600.

Oh I miss BOSS coffee... how is it that canned Japanese coffee is superior to the coffee at the "indie super-cool" coffee house near me?

That's what she said.

Unless you're talking about motherboard form factors :)

I agree with this. I started using Linux in the late 90s and early naughts, and I started with Slackware. Trying to get that to work with my hardware, especially homePNA, back then was a nightmare. I wouldn't suggest that experience to anyone (although I did learn a lot).

Sure, I agree, and that's why I'd put Ubuntu on my mom's computer.

Gah, I'm starting to really hate Ubuntu. The wonderful thing about Linux is that it forces you to learn how your operating system works. That used to be true with all distros—especially since you used to have to recompile the kernel if you had any interesting hardware in your case.

The first personal webpages I made had a splash page begging people to use 800x600 instead of 640x480... how far we've all come since then!

VOTE: Arch

This article showed up under my Lifehacker:Linux feed, so is there a linux guide?

It's definitely not too soon. Haven't you heard the Titanic song?

I used to pirate everything, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

Narcissists don't actually love themselves... they use superiority as a way to control how insecure they actually feel.

I am a smoker, and this doesn't bother me, so long as there is somewhere relatively close where I can go smoke. Preferably a designated spot with an ashtray garbage can thing, because I don't like cigarette butts on the ground any more than anyone else.

Or... why not both be required?

Ohh they should add that to the DSM V.

I always figured that if you drink /instead/ of eating, you can pretty much drink whatever you want without gaining weight.

I find myself agreeing, which makes me sad, but my pocketbook happy. I used to salivate over the latest processor release and was perpetually unsatisfied with how "old" my desktop was.

This.

I'm totally in your boat. Add whole milk or ice cream. It's delicious and will definitely up the calories.
