Re: Fixing Your MBR After Ubuntu Overwrites It and more Fun with Installing Ubuntu on Netbooks!

Haha, I can't tell you how many people sound just like you :) I also can't tell you how many people sound just like me. It's always easy when it's easy, but when things don't go as planned, not so much. But them's computers for ya!

I think Ubuntu is half-way between XP and OSX, frankly. However, it sure seems more like XP when it comes to installing. Lots of hoops to jump through. Too many if you ask me.

I'll certainly blog so more if I try again, but this has been a huge pain in the ass, so I doubt it'll happen any time soon.

But thanks for your comment--it's much appreciated. :)

I dual boot both Ubuntu and XP on Acer One with no problem. Also can run Puppy Linux from USB stick on same machine with no problem. It can be done, but se computers are more difficult than others. Keep trying and reporting.

That's what I'm talkin' about! :)

Actually, I blogged about how Senator Obama wanted to get us a stimulus check before the winter. AH well, first campaign promise busted :(

Haha--that brings up a good point, Dean: If the Hummer SUV wrecks the environment, how environmentally unfriendly is Hummer cologne?

Turns the user into a douche? What do you think they make the cologne out of?

Haha--good one!! And it looks like you can drive like a moron, spend like one ($20 for 2.5 oz!) and smell like one.

Re: $1.2 TRILLION Deficit! Well-done, Politicians! Oh, it’s not just Bush’s fault!

Ah--sucks--the Harper's article is pay-only :\ However, it's written by Joseph Stiglitz who's views I'm familiar with already. He's been on Democracy Now a bunch of times and I've agreed with him on most of what he says. So, I'm sure it's a good read. Then again, I think it doesn't take a nobel prize-winning economist to see how things have gone south under the Bush admin. :\

But thanks for the comment and the link, as always. :)

It's at least half the cost to fill up a Hummer under current gas prices. With this, one can constantly refuel. Transforms the user into a douche with only a few sprays.
