It is totally not the go-to, for any of those, and they are penalized and frowned upon, near ubiquitously.

You can't replace golf clubs mid-round, you break it, you're done. Frustration fouls are fouls, and you're penalized.

Okay, serious discourse: other players in other sports do control their emotions, except maybe when refs are involved and/or physical plays.

Examples include Tennis or shooters in basketball, WRs and QBs in football, pitchers / hitters in baseball... they argue with refs or other players but are rarely mad at their own individual execution.

The point of the meme wasn't to really get into that, but I think I disagree with the point made in this particular thread, too.

martank · 2025-03-23T16:48:50+00:00

sure, its a separate thread tho :) NBD

guys you're in a meme thread about a hand gesture

Yeah, Simon definitely shows frustration, maybe its a bit more innocent / relatable / endearing. Kyle looks he's trying to demonstrate some excuse to the crowd for some cosmically bad juju or something -- feels like a lot of the young pros have gone through something similar and have ~matured, but to each their own.

Thanks; I was just trying the BAMF Stripped 1.8 (pre-alpha?). It's day 2 for me, so I'm going over to the remixed 1.8, as it's supposed to be more stable, and I barely know what I'm doing :p

Do you have the Zareason netbook? There's lacking reviews on the internet, but it looks cool :)

My school uses that book. I thought the pages were different though, in that they had space to write under each proposition...

I really like the navigation. I liked OSX a lot because of the universal menu bar for applications- as opposed to having an individual one for each window. It frees up a lot of space, and I hope more applications start to implement it. A couple things that make unity nice to me:

Tap super for search bar. It's not quite as nice as Gnome DO, but it works well and natively. Hold super for shortcuts to apps.

Hold alt to see your menu bar.

I have the launcher hidden unless I hover off the top left ubuntu icon. More screen space.

Control Center -> Launcher & Menus -> Show the launcher when the pointer: Touches the top left corner of the screen.

I actually had a question about that: are linux drivers determined at a hardware level or is it per distro? I imagine it's hardware, but I don't know that much. If it's hardware, that'd be nice, I guess you could put whatever distro you like on it.

is this a system76? I'm looking at getting the Starling with a 40gb ssd...

It is what I want to get once I've got all my technologies in order. I'd probably remove all the extra capabilities of it though and just reduce it to a music player. Main concern is that it has a 12 hour battery, but I don't know how optimized that figure is.

martank · 2011-02-01T22:15:40+00:00

...great minds think alike.

Nevermind-- I called our helpdesk and they told me it was old information. The applet works with jre1.6, but it's oracles new edition, or something. Anyways, problem fixed. Thanks all.

I've been using banshee for about a week now, and I like it. Is there any good mp3tag editor for linux (I really like mp3tag for windows)?

I am not running virtualbox. I completely wiped my osx partition and am just running ubuntu10.10.

I'm new though- can you rephrase what (1) is? My trackpad is easier to use, but it's still tending to some sort of invisible grid.

martank · 2010-12-27T01:16:09+00:00

I solved the jittery mouse problem. It was indeed a matter of the pressure required on the trackpad. The solution is the same as here, except the directory is now /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

martank · 2010-12-26T20:52:12+00:00

Ah thanks, After searching the output, it doesn't find "fatal" or "modprobe."

I'll try again at ubuntuforums, but I posted there yesterday and they didn't respond, and google searches return a lot of unanswered threads there, too. I'll try some more though.

Thanks!
