Ask a Question, Get Deep!

[Deepfreeze32]

Some of the worst kinds of sickness. Right up there with terrible headaches, sore throats, and uncontrollable sneezing.

[Chozon1]

I prefer uncontrollable sneezing. At least it's sorta fun.

What happens when you combine uncontrollable sneezing with tummy troubles? >_>

[Deepfreeze32]

You get yelled at.

[Chozon1]

Yes. Yes you do. XD

Count down timers can be a pain in the rump?

[Deepfreeze32]

Unless you're James Bond.

[Chozon1]

What if I was?

And not Roger Moore. Like...Craig, or Connery.

[Deepfreeze32]

Then they would oh so conveniently stop at 007 or have less than a second remaining. Because you'd be that awesome.

[Chozon1]

Sometimes I miss a lack of knowledge of Bond. All I've seen is Goldeneye.

DON'T SHUN MEH.

At what point did some adult decide that sleepovers were no longer fun?

And what are your thoughts on the whole "sleep vs. no sleep" controversy?

To add a third question (since bad things, as everyone knows, come in twos), how intelligent does one have to be in order to use a Unix-like Operating system?

[Deepfreeze32]

Goldeneye is good, but definitely check out the Connery Bond films. Goldfinger, From Russia with Love, Dr. No, and Thunderball are all great. The Roger Moore ones ain't bad either, especially The Spy Who Loved me.

tl;dr, get moar Bond. You won't regret it.


First question: Probably around the turn of the century. Enough good things happened to make something bad occur.

Second question: What controversy? I like sleep, and I like staying awake. I do what I feel like.

Third question: Depends. If you're using the Mac OS, it's not very difficult to use. If you're using Ubuntu or other mainstream Linux distrobutions, then a reasonable degree of technical savvy is good. If you're trying something like BSD, or Gentoo Linux, I recommend being a more advanced user, and skill with the terminal and system-level functions is requisite. Try Ubuntu or Red Hat for an easy-ish *nix OS.

I may, one day. I've avoided them thus far due to sexual content. Goldeneye was a TV edit that I watched with my mom.

Mostly, I'd just like some Op system experience outside of WIndows. I feel I'm limiting myself computerally, and Windows GUI is so simple I don't feel like I'm actually learning much using it. I don't want to get to college and be the only kid in class who cna't use another op system.

But I didna know Mac was Unix-like. And I have an Ubuntu disc, just don't use it since dual boot doesn't make sense to me and I've been chained by Zune software and Fl Stugio to Windows.

Where does it end?

[Deepfreeze32]

Understandable. I like being skilled in more than Windows and Mac.

For what it's worth though, WINE might be just what you need. FL Studio appears to work well in it, and you can pretty easily dual-boot your system. Zune software doesn't appear to work, but a reboot is less than 5 minutes.

It ends at the edge of time.

[Chozon1]

I'd considered dual boot (and actually had Linux/XP at one time) but I'm too lazy.

I did not, however, know FL studio worked well in WINE. I could find another media player and just update my Zune periodically, I 'spose.

This or this?

It's classic bondiggity car vs body cushioning comfort.

[Deepfreeze32]

The Mercedes is a Diesel. You'd spend more per gallon on that than regular gas, FYI. Also might want to check what the insurance would cost you. I think the first is a better deal all around, but if you can afford the Mercedes, get it. They're pretty dang good cars.

[Chozon1]

Good catch. ^_^ But I actually wanted a Diesel. Little known fact is that, while you do spend more (locally, I'd pay for diesel what most people would pay for premium, so it'll only be about $150-extra per year), you actually get a few more MPG's. Nothing brag worthy, but about 2-4 per gallon.

Plus, older cars are veggie oil ready. So I would go all hippy alternative. XD I'm supposed to go look at it tomorrow.

Edit: Insurance would run about $400 every six months. Which is derberal, but actually really good for me. :\

Would you go all gangsta and cruise the hood with me?

[Deepfreeze32]

Mebbe. >.>
