  1. I did think about 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I enjoyed the movie, but I liked the book much better. I am an anime fan, but I simply forget to think about it in making my list. Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  2. Well, here is something to think about, I was just talking to a friend and we are thinking about setting up a Nerd Movie/ T.V. Night. I night that a few friends get together and watch movies/ T.V. shows that reflect our inner nerd. Weather it be gun nerd stuff computer nerd stuff, or what have you. Lets face it, we all have an inner nerd, I do not care if it is a skydiving nerd, science nerd, computer nerd, gun nerd, or even a sports nerd, we all have that inner nerd. It got me to thinking what are my top ten general nerd movies/ T.V. Shows. So I figured I would list them. My top 10 Nerd Movies / T.V. Shows 10) Tron 09) Star Trek TNG 08) Sneakers 07) X-files 06) Hackers 05) The Lone Gunmen 04) WarGames 03) Star Trek DS9 02) V for Vendetta 01) Blade Runner Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  3. Hum..... Hellsing. Cowboy Bebop. Fritz the Cat Wizards Ghost in the Shell : Stand alone complex I really could go on forever :-) Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  4. In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. --Hunter S. Thompson I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. --Hunter S. Thompson Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect. --Hunter S. Thompson The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side. --Hunter S. Thompson Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  5. Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child. -Lazarus Long, I’ve never understood how God could expect His creatures to pick the one true religion by faith—it strikes me as a sloppy way to run a universe. -Jubal Harshaw, The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. --Lazarus Long A "pacifist male" is a contradiction in terms. Most self-described "pacifists" are not pacific; they simply assume false colors. When the wind changes, they hoist the Jolly Roger. --Lazarus Long Of course the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you--if you don't play, you can't win. --Lazarus Long Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something. --Lazarus Long Government! Three-fourths parasitic and the rest stupid fumbling- Oh, Harshaw conceded that man, a social animal, could no more avoid government than an individual could escape the necessity of bowel movements. But simply because an evil was necessary was no reason to term it good. He wished that government would wander off and get lost! -- Jubal Harshaw I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. --Professor Bernardo de la Paz But in writing your Constitution let me invite attention to the wonderful virtues of the negative! Accentuate the negative! Let your document be studded with things the government is forever forbidden to do. --Professor Bernardo de la Paz Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  6. You maybe right, I really don't think I am as advanced as some people are when it comes to computers. Then again I do like to go in and play with the software and the hardware and see how far I can push the system that I have. Sometimes I forget that alot of people are not as much of a geek that I am. If you like Ubuntu you may want to try PClinux OS 2007 ( http://www.pclinuxos.com/ ) You can run it off a Live CD and if you like it you can install the OS of the Live CD. I have found that this distro of has alot of hardware drivers already in it, and when you install it it looks at all of you hardware and only installs what you need to run. It is built on KDE kernel. I have it on a 8 year old laptop and that laptop keeps up and can do everything a friend of mine's quad-core windows desktop running Windows XP with 4 gig of RAM and the little old laptop of mine is only pushing 128mag of RAM.

  7. I will have to agree with you on any PC running windows...I will disagree with you on a PC running Ubuntu Linux, PClinux 2007 or any other distro of Linux. What it comes down to is most people have been brain washed in to thinking that there are only two Operating Systems in the world Apple or Windows, Linux is a very good OS and in this day and age the newer distro's of Linux are just as very non-nerd as you can get. The good thing about Linux is I can upgrade the hardware for almost nothing get all the binfits of an Apple OS and I don't have to hand over my paycheck to Steve Jobbs when I do upgrade the hardware and I do not have to hand Bill Gates my paycheck to upgrade the software. Most of your hardware companies are supporting Linux with drives so that is a non-issue. Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  8. First read Revolt in 2100 by Robert Heinlein then vote Libertarian, the more people that know this country has more then just two parties the better off we all are. Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  9. The funny thing about that is once A friend from work and I had taken a person new to the shift how had never been hunting in his life out pig hunting, he got himself a nice 250 + pounder. We had told him about the same tradidtion and let him fill a cup all the way up before we remind him of all the things that flot around in blood, plus this being pigs blood. When he realized it was a joke he almost got pissed then joined in on the gag...Telling every one at work that he did drink the blood.

  10. To be honnest all you really need to do is download the latest version of Ubuntu Linux or PClinux 2007 make an ISO disk format your harddrive then install one of those two versions of linux. I use on all of my computers as well as Moodyskydiver. Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  11. I have to agree with you, if you have to have windows on your system for school, gaming or what have you WUBI is the way to go. I have one laptop running Ubuntu and the other running Xubuntu. Programs like partition magic are hard on your drive and on some windows based computer leads to problems down the road. The only reason that I go back in to windows is to update my iPod.

  12. I have to say that of the minor charters it is a toss up between Wu and Jewel on which one I like the best. Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  13. I will agree with you on the subject that terrorism is not the threat that the government would have everyone believe that it is, but I will disagree with you on the economic collapse part. The economy will go up and it will go down that is a simple fact of life and if we still lived in a free country that would not be a big deal. We live in a now live in a socialist state that is pretending to be a democracy. Between George the second and Billy Clinton we have lost a large number of our freedoms, do to the fact that the people of this once great country will not and/or can not think for themselves that want to government to come in and make everything nice for them. For example: If you don't like a place because it does not have a no smoking area don't spend your money there, don't let the government pass laws tell people where they can or can't smoke. I am not a smoker and I tend not to like places that are fulled up with smokers but I make the choice not to go to those places. Another example is the government tapping your and mine Internet providers in the name of National security. Keeping in mind the government is not getting warrants, they are using the same tactics that the mob uses to get people to pay protection. I could fill a library full of things that are wrong with programs like welfare and Social Security. I had a co-worker tell me that it was not worried about what the government was doing because he had nothing to hide, I reminded him the Jews in Germany in the 1930's felt the same way and look what happened to them, I also suggested that he read 1984 by Orwell, and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein. Hurricane Katrina is not the problem of the Federal Government, it is the problem of the state governments. It is not the duty of the people not from those effected states to pay for the clean up after something of that nature. Hurricane Katrina and what it did was sad and heart breaking, but on the other hand it should have been up to the state government to have a plan of action and or put in to place the protection from weather of that kind so it did not happen in the first place. I for one blame the people in those states for letting that happen do to the fact that they did not elect officials that wanted serve the need of the state. They elected people that were busy filling their pockets with the money of the tax payers. It all comes down to TANSTAAFL (There ain't no such thing as a free lunch) Everything in life has a price and if you are going to pay for it one way or another. It may be money, or it may be losing your freedoms but you will pay for it. Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
  14. I not sure if any one every noticed that in a lot of the shows not all of then, but a lot of them you always had the scene of Ward (the father) and June (the mom) coming down stairs and June is telling ward he was pretty hard on the beaver last night, and the child had not gotten in trouble at that point in the show.

  15. There is a program that is free to download and use called Andrea's Photo Mosaic the URL for it is http://www.andreaplanet.com/andreamosaic/download/ with this program you use the images on your computer, and you can tell it what images to use and not to use. The only down side to this program is that it make like monster sized mosaics and you have to resize them smaller to get them to look right. The plus size to that is that after you have resized them they look really good. Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor
