Entertainment / Sony's Press Conference is going to rock
« on: July 15, 2008, 05:21:53 pm »
Sony came through and showed a wide variety of games I wouldn't have even heard of otherwise. Nothing too exciting for me though, so ill give it a 7/10.

Goddamn why the hell does the free software community fail so hard at a SIMPLE GRAPHICAL EDITING TOOL
I mean for crying out loud, GNU Paint doesn't even have undo!

Other Discussion / Ubuntu 7.10
« on: October 20, 2007, 04:59:41 pm »
So you free software trolls like to put stuff in every topic but when something comes out that you can post about you let me do it. Hah.
Well, Ubuntu 7.10 came out on the 18th, and it's pretty simple to use and set up. I'd say its simpler than Windows to use now (though I can't comment on Mac at all, not like I would waste my money on that.), and is quite stable. I do have one issue where window borders disappear when I use compiz fusion desktop effects, and I couldn't find a solution (apparently this is happening a lot), but its not a big deal as desktop effects are just extras and relatively pointless.
NTFS drive write access is available out of the box so to speak, so access your files on a windows partition/harddrive isn't a hassle of finding whatever you need to do it with or moving them over to a different partition or whatever. This is really great for users who want to dual boot or whatever, or just want to keep all their files without the hassle of moving them.
Another issue I've had when I've used ubuntu before is resolved. The screen resolution thing. Before I had to go into the xorg.conf file and add whatever resolution I wanted and it was just an unnecessary hassle. Now they have a "Screens and Graphics" manager which manages all that stuff relatively simpler.
There's other junk too that I don't really care for like Desktop search, fast user switching, which is pretty cool I guess.
As with previous Ubuntu versions, installation and everything is really simple (simpler than windows), and it has that neat add/remove progam list and package manager to install stuff rather than you having to scour the internet for programs. Firefox, Thunderbird, Opera, Filezilla, Audacity, VLC, XChat, OpenOffice, AbiWord and Pidgin are all things you may have used on windows that work great on Linux for whatever it is you do. Most issues can be resolved by just using google and reading a few pages, though I didn't encounter any issues except for the previous mentioned desktop effects/compiz fusion one.
I haven't tried getting a torrent application yet, and I usually have an issue with that on linux in general, so I'll see and post about my adventures with that when I get around to it.
The bottom like I guess, is would I use this full time? Well, if I didn't play windows games quite a bit, I would. It's simple, fast, easy, whatever, for whatever you want to do. It's worth at least a try, which is simple enough with the install CD where you can run the OS off of a CD without installing anything to your computer.

Recruitment / SMF Skin/Theme crew
« on: October 15, 2007, 07:54:55 pm »
I'm interested in getting someone or some people to work on skins for my SMF forum.
My forum really lacks in style.
I guess I could work on it myself, but I really haven't gotten too used to SMF skinning and would rather get someone else to do it anyway. ;3
It won't be from scratch work either (though it can be if you prefer), as most of the members at my forum have migrated from a now closed IPB board that had quite a few cool skins that I'm sure they'd like to see again.
This isn't just limited to skinning either, it can be for board modification and all that sort of stuff if you'd like.
But mostly I'm looking for someone interested in making skins/themes.
The board is located here: http://tgg.jcink.org/
Please provide examples of previous work and all that when applying. You can apply in this topic, which is preferred, or by PM at either here or the board itself.
Thanks for your time.

Entertainment / Worst animes
« on: May 02, 2006, 09:28:25 pm »
If there's a top ten topic, we need a top fail topic.
Worst is Naruto,
Second worse is One Piece.
You'd think animes about pirates and ninjas would not suck. BUT SOMEHOW THEY !@#$% IT UP. Great job, Japan.
