viruses

dammit. Proof that I'm not talking out my ass.

It's even in the dictionary, so get it right, darn it!

OK, it's sick, but it's been floating around in the toilet bowl that is my mind lately.

And someone probably already beat me to it.

A short note about the current aggrivation: Whoever at Sun decided that this slow-as-hell installer should become of age needs to spend time installing their creation from scratch themselves. When they have no hair left (because they PULLED it all out), they'll understand why I think Web Start is overengineered goo.

That they made the install emulate Win* in the "reboot several times" arena isn't so good, either.

OK... new peeve of the week: Apple's QuickTime .mov file format has been readable in Linux for at least 4 years, probably more. The next person who claims there's no QuickTime for Linux is getting a boot to the head.

I'm certain what you angsty nuts out there really mean is, "No codec for Linux that works with .mov files that use Sorenson."

Just say that! sheesh

This is why I'll buy a PS2. It's the final nail in the coffin for which console to get. Looking at the other choices, however, the decision was a foregone conclusion. Quick review:

• xbox: Why bother? If I wanted to play on a PC, I already have one. Yes, I know it's not a "PC" in the traditional sense, and all that. I just don't like the idea od an inhell-powered console. EOF(xbox)
• gamecube: Promising on the surface (and onscreen), but with the uninviting Gamebit screws securing it, and the proprietary platter, I couldn't justify giving Nintendo another chance. EOF(GameCube) for now
• Dreamcast: YES! Now at $50, I can get another one (if I can FIND one) just to HACK on!
• PSX: Have one, bought it for Galaga, not very useful hacking-wise. I haven't tried very hard, either
• PS2: This is simply the most appealing and compelling system out, afaic, even tho it's $300. It has amazing capabilities, and now that its potential is being realised, and killer games are out for it, I'll be gracing my desk with consoles with one very soon

I have a DC, a PSX, and a Genesis... and they all still get used regularly... :o)

Update: I finally followed thru and blew money on the PS2 and a copy of GTA3. I'm a lousy driver, let's put it that way.

Read this. Now. Before I go thermo. I'll wait.

Argh! Proper punctuation should not be the exception around here. It just makes you look... well, like the (stereo)typical AOLer! I'm not much of a grammar nut, but this one gets me more than any other (including gross misspelling).

"You must get into it's interior to. . ."

What?! I must get into IT IS... interior? AUGH!

(Score:-1, Mispeling)

scsi will prolly hate me for this, but see me rant about other stuff than slashdot!

The Journal meme... how therapeutic.

first post!

Because I can. . . and because the first one is always the lamest one.
