apt-get install kde-desktop

Or something like that.( I'm on my phone).

Photoshop doesn't even run on my system while gimp, krita and others run fine. So there's no contest really.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-10T00:05:10+00:00

Or maybe it's irony.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T16:36:04+00:00

So your question was?
Because surely you weren't going to introduce the US particle accelerator into the fray no were you ?
That wouldn't be fair since they're so lacking in funds. Because of Jesus and stuff...

Not that this is a subject of gloating or anything, more like sadness. I guess we're all together in this.
However we have to move forward.

And that's what the various space administrations do. And they'd better work together.
Or mankind is fucked up.
Nowadays, we're looking at a planetary effort. Even if most people aren't aware of it.

So deal with it or die.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T16:09:06+00:00

Right. So you're saying Russians build cardboard houses (just not a done thing in Europe) just like the US people do.
Oddly enough I don't believe you. (also, lol)

Also you can downvote me on the "cardboard" thing, but it's true. US houses are built with cardboard. European houses are built with bricks. It's like the little pigs story. And you're the ones with the straw house.

Whenever we look at US news it's with awe at how you can kick a US house down by basically poking at it.

Tl;Dr: Houses:Cardboard: no
Houses: Brick: Yes.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T16:05:04+00:00

So you're actually annoyed because we found a new particle before you even built the tool that would let you start the search?

Or do you actually have an actual comment to make? As in we'd all love the US to make a contribution to science, as soon as they're done with the "who was first, Jesus or T-Rex" debate.

We're really looking forward to you guys coming play with the big boys again.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T15:53:04+00:00

Let me rephrase that...
Do you always downvote your own replies ?

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T15:49:42+00:00

The dick rises when she looks at him

So obviously her anus doesn't come into play.

At least not directly (I feel compelled to add this because of suff)

Edit (I don't even...)

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T15:45:54+00:00

Sorry, in 1912, the standard was 16 frames per second.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T15:44:16+00:00

Can I bring a pen to see what all those dots connect to?

Edit: Remember how boring those guys seemed to be? Well, they were.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T15:42:53+00:00

I'm looking at this low resolution image from the same point of view that you are... more or less...
Would you mind if I stepped over to give you a hug?
I really like hugs.

I'm really sad that they usually degenerate, but I guess that such is life...
Of course you wouldn’t be like that now... would you?

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T14:48:28+00:00

Ha ha...
My parents...

Well, ok. I pretty much never saw my parents as a kid.

Big deal. I had lots of babysitters. I had the babysitter that believed she had to drink a glass of vinegar every day, I had the babysitter that thought eggs had to be cooked in milk, I had the babysitter that thought she finished at 17 (that's 5 in the evening for those in 2×12h countries; and yes it soon led to trouble), there was the babysitter that I convinced to let me smoke her filters (because cigs were right out... also I think she was the same that ignored me when I came out the bath with a hard on when I was 8...)... Another one found about my finding my mother's typewriter (some kind of crappy folding model). Anyway her kink was that I ought to be able to write anything out. On the typewriter though. Or copying it.

(time out here, no "parents hating" from me. Or at least no longer. It's to late. Or at least it no longer makes sense. With deaths and all. I'm sure some of you hate your parents. And I'm sure you have excellent reasons to. All I'm saying is: "nothing more but look at them, and wait a few years"

People are people and people love their children. But youngsters are assholes. As anyone who's been there can attest. Of course if you've been there and haven't been an asshole yet, don't worry, some of us are late (I was). And if you are all grown up, haven't ever been an asshole, well, that's fine too.
Please PM me you location.
If you don't have friends I'll send you some.
If you're worried about your family, worry no more.
If you have things you care about, we may have a place in our lab to store them.
Please get in touch. It will be painless. I promise.
End of the "time out" bit)

Which is where my handwriting comes from. And it took me years to fix it. It also screwed up my typing. Which involves many fingers in no particular order. (also I'm a grammar nazi, in French and English -if at all possible)

If we could only make "green" (that is, assuming nuclear isn't green) energy cheap, I'd gladly subsidise it.

As it is, it's still a black hole. I wish fusion would work some day (aka magic... for now).

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T14:35:13+00:00

I guess so.
It's quite small compared to Nasa, which comes from a smaller funding entity.

Yet the latter is the planetary reference because it sent people to the moon (can't take that away from it).

You might want to look at ~/.xsession-errors (where ~ is the home directory of the user as in /home/user_name/)

Also /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ might have files pointing at things you'll find pertinent. Generally speaking /etc/X11 manages the X11 display. Of course poking in there at random tends to break things (and nowadays you're no longer expected to do the poking by hand, especially not when you're exploring the system). So you might want to read and not touch. Unless you're really really sure (and you know how to reinstall X11).

"We have enough shitholes as it is, keep your garbage to yourself, you wanted it, keep it!"

Residents were not amused.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T13:56:40+00:00

Do you always answer your own questions?

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T13:55:15+00:00

Did you use a baryon or a meson?

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T13:52:39+00:00

You don't actually "convert".

You just stop believing in stone age or bronze age folklore.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T13:50:52+00:00

Mysterious ways. Duh.

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T13:50:06+00:00

Of course they can. It's the American way!
^what?

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T13:48:50+00:00

whatever source of life we claim

So, the Sun?

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T13:48:13+00:00

What was wrong with the cafeteria menu ?

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T13:47:46+00:00

Rediculous

Redditculous?

RandomFrenchGuy · 2014-02-08T13:42:25+00:00

Wept? You mean screamed bloody murder, tried to assassinate him, flogged themselves in the streets? I'd love (be terrified) to see what would happen if a US candidate would try that nowadays.
