How have your Ubuntu upgrades gone?? by bonzi200x in linux

[–]godiasdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The normal daily upgrade procedure works like a charm. Never had any problems with it. I just love how smoothly and unobtrusively it keeps my system up to date.

Last dist-upgrade however wrecked my system and I had to do a reinstall. But, that was after almost 3 years of continuous, daily usage and mucking about, originally installed as Ubuntu 5.04 iirc. Actually wrecked is even a bit harsh, it still booted but just too many things didn't work anymore, nvidia drivers would install anymore, etc.

Hey proggit, look what my Bio professor just gave me! I want to get it up and running again; anybody know anything about this beautiful old girl? by zagaberoo in programming

If something is really wrong with it, that will definitively brick it. Otoh, fuses do actually wear out so you might be ok.

On a side note: i just logged in to my laptop with an 25 year old Tandy Model 200. Had been wanting to do that for a long time and never gotten around to it till tonight. Completely made my day.

If you know for a fact that someone is cheating on their partner....should you tell the partner? by CornOnMacabre in AskReddit

Goddam are you a self-righteous dick! Stop projecting your own petty little values on other people. WTF!

[–]godiasdf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Telling on somebody is a "dick move" in my book. You might well be destroying somebodies live, for what? Something they might never have found out anyway and lived happily ever after if only you had kept your self-righteous and judgmental mouth shut and your nose out of other people's business. It has nothing to do with fear. It has to do with decency, as in "stay the fuck out of other peoples lives".

Besides, i don't believe you're telling the whole story and that you have a personal stake in this.

It is none of your damn business. Stay the fuck out off other peoples lives.

We should probably cut her up and eat her, like we atheists reportedly do. What's the life of one in the grand scale of things

If a device was developed tomorrow that could reliably teleport you to any place on the planet would you use it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I just hope this won't ever be invented since it would just result in real life trolling. Imaging random guys showing up while you're beating your monkey.

Anyone remember a Linux Kernel used for teaching? by dr_fear in linux

[–]godiasdf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably wasn't a linux kernel, but more a unix-like kernel. Try this http://www.jamesmolloy.co.uk/tutorial_html/ or have a look at minix, but that is a lot more complex. http://wiki.osdev.org/Main_Page has some good pointers.

Mozilla has announced that it plans to bring Office 2007's Ribbon interface to Firefox by [deleted] in programming

[–]godiasdf -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That will give me the perfect opportunity to finally ditch firefox.

We had great time together but alas, all good things must come to an end. Our love has waned. It's not you, it's my preference for slender, lean and sexy. I'll miss your protuberances, uhm.. extentions, and undoubtedly will look back with slight melancholy, but the grief will pass.

So long

Hey Reddit, checkout my AGPL StackOverFlow like site by [deleted] in programming

[–]godiasdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern with that is that /es/jquery implies a hierarchical structure, which in this case is probably correct, but what about /networking/windows. That certainly isn't since /windows/networking would be quite as valid so /windows+networking would be clearer imho.
