Comment Re:Here we go (Score 1) 89

Seriously. I have asked a few of the local ministers in my area when I was a christian. The de facto answer was always "The bible says absolutely nothing about whether or not intelligent aliens exist, but personally I think if God is really infinite then there is no reason why he wouldn't have many, many children.' It seems to be mostly the Catholics who believe weird stuff like that. (just an observation, Catholics aren't common here.)

Comment Re:Get used to it (Score 1) 288

Right because everytime I skipped class it was for the sole purpose of shooting some heroin, snorting some crack, and spray-painting buildings. I would make a guess that most of the kids just go to the mall, or whatever the local hangout happens to be. Hell, even kids just need to take a day off now and then.

Comment Re:RH/Deb/BSD/Slack/Gentoo + Gnome/KDE/GNUSTEP (Score 1) 101

Same here. I used fedora with Gnome3 for a while, but it doesn't like multiple monitors, and I don't like the way it's laid out. Also what is going on with rpms? Every time I play with an rpm-based system I get burned. Badly. Either the repositories are almost completely empty aside from the basics, or after installing a few packages I end up with a broken system somehow...

Comment Re:Buy a faster modem (Score 1) 577

Buying a faster modem might help, it might not. where i live, there is no dsl, and the fastest i have managed to get out of my dail-up is around 16.8kb.... at that rate, its not even usable. not with all todays flash, and crap. I have satellite. much much better than anything else i could have gotten. (no reliably cell service either) except that the caps on data transfer are killing me.
