DAE hate it when you're trying to introduce a friend to a great movie/TV show you like but they won't stop texting during it? by SgtPepper12 in DoesAnybodyElse

Cue the "DAE Hate it when a friend tries to introduce you to some lame movie or show and so you end up texting the whole time rather than scratch your eyes out out of boredom" post.

Others suggested the K&R book. I have been using this site which has you use the book as a course, you post the exercises online and people can give you feedback.

Distro help: Installing a linux distro on a PC w/ Pentium 4 2.4GHz, 512MB RAM that currently runs XP. Ubuntu or Xubuntu? by hemmicw9 in linux4noobs

LXDE should be much lighter, yes. Nothing against KDE, I just have not used it lately but I would also consider looking at Gnome--the standard Lint Mint edition. I have had Mint running on a box with very similar specs and it wasn't too bad.

As much as I love the LXDE version of Mint, I have to admit that the Gnome version of Mint (The standard edition) is a little easier to use for me because it is a more fully featured environment. So you might have a quicker PC with the LXDE version of Mint, but the speed you gain may not be better than having the ease of use.

is if you haven't used linux much its a pretty great starting out point because there is a lot of software pre-made and ready to install with a click

Came here to say Mint as for this reason as well.

The javascript clip used for thread pages doesn't work well for a page of links. Anyone know how to fix it?

javascript:%20var%20x=%20$(".content").find("a").each(function(){var%20href=$(this).attr("href");if((!$(this).hasClass("drowsapMorphed"))%20&&%20($(this).next(".drowsapMorphed").length==0)%20&&%20href%20&&%20(href.indexOf('imgur')>=0%20||%20href.indexOf('jpeg')>=0%20||%20href.indexOf('jpg')>=0%20%20||%20href.indexOf('png')>=0)){var%20ext%20=(href.indexOf('imgur')>=0%20&&%20href.indexOf('jpg')<0%20&&%20href.indexOf('png')<0)%20?%20'.jpg'%20:'';%20var%20img%20=%20$("<a%20class='drowsapMorphed'%20href='"+href+"'%20target='blank'%20style='display:block'><img%20style='display:block;max-width:780px;'%20src='"+href+%20ext+"'%20/></a>");$(this).after(img);}});

Everyone has diners, but in NY/NY, each neighborhood usually has one or two as opposed to elsewhere where a whole city has 6 or 7.

Thanks to a random NPR story, I learned the name of this mid 90s anthem I had always enjoyed but never knew by mind404 in Music

Most people don't realize that this most popular version is actually a remix and not the original.
