Oh, wow, after that first post I had given this topic up for dead.
So uh... What do all those programs... y'know... Do? I really don't have the slighest clue about what either of you just said.
Don't worry none, all these distros have well-written tutorials that'll walk you through what you need and what you need to do to get up and running. Puppy and Vector, in particular, have very friendly communities with a "No-RTFM response" mentality.

Nope, appears to be running fine now. Forums too.

Amazing, how could I have not reviewed this? This piece is brilliant, combining arguably two of the most expressive instruments in use (guitar and piano) into a seamless mix.
Intro and outro has a bit of a novel feel (and makes me think it's related to either the Black Market segment, or Hawk/Lise's arc - obviously, it's time I started SD3 again).
Guitar is rocking. What else could it be from Sixto? That's right, NOTHING else.
The piano adds another element to the mix that would otherwise feel ... empty? Not sure. I love rockfests, but this feels more complete with the piano segment. It softens the mix. Yes, that's the wording.
Sixto proves he can consistently make the awesome musics. Another worthy addition to the 5-Stars.

If you're not download-quota-limited, go for Ubububu - it's easy enough to understand, just slow as dog shit. If you are download-quota-limited, get the version I posted, which is a small linux environment built entirely around providing GPartEd functionality.

Onto another 80GB hard-drive
Now, assuming PartionMagic isn't working for you, you can also look into this. Runs as a LiveCD, and should allow you to resize your partitions without destroying data on there (I've resized several partitions using it without losing data, however, they were ext3 and resierfs partitions, so you may have issues on an NTFS partition)

Well mate, assuming it does, my considered opinion is that it would be worth the wait. Even if it means you filthy console-playing peasants get to enjoy what we of the PC-gaming master race have long since moved on from

Puppy comes with AbiWord as standard, but yes, can be upgraded to a Chubby Puppy, either by way of getting it straight up, or by downloading OOo as a DotPup or through PET. Yes, the puppy analogies continue throughout the OS. And it's made by an Australian bloke. It's awesome. Saved my sanity in Dubai

Above all, however, get rid of your D-link.

Everybody says that (because it's true) but I'm kinda excited for Dynasty Warriors 6 and Crysis (If it comes out) and a few other games. All there is to do is wait (not long hopefully).
Also I've been meaning to ask if there are some noteable PSN games worth downloading, Everyday Shooter looks good but I kinda want some feed back before I buy it.
I'll be surprised if you ever get Crysis on PS3. It's a PC exclusive thus far entirely due to control-complexity (because, yes, I know, PS3 can do all that crazy graphical stuff a high end box can)
-
Get yourself a liveCD. And in particular, a low-spec distro. DSL and Puppy both come to mind (both are small, lightweight LiveCD based distros, and both can also be placed on USB stick for a take-anywhere-plug-in PC) however, if for some strange reason you're not fond of either, a few others you could try include Wolvix and Vector Linux (which is my personal favourite of those listed). These both have a LiveCD version.
Now, the reason I'm pushing liveCDs here is simply because they don't need a hard-drive. Same with the USB-based ones. No hard-drive required! However, given the supposed age of the hardware, I recommend you start at DSL and work your way up.
Yes folks, I know I could have said ubububu, but screw that, I don't like gnome

Ah, the lulz continue. I love living in this age, where every day brings me new comedy to laugh myself sensless with.

thats terrible youre terrible

Are video games still fun for me? Hells yes. I still get out Sonic 3 & Knuckles from time to time. And Crysis has definitely put the spark back into it for me. Nothing quite like killing Koreans on 1680*1050 at Very High graphical settings, on Delta.
Fuck yeah, I rock.
-
Only a single box running now (and not a quad-core beast - that's reserved for Crysis-averting) but hey, every little bit, right?

That is a side effect of doing things through the school. Our club meets twice a week for an hour. It's difficult to believe we could get much accomplished. But we do. We move quickly and cover a lot of stuff. Our sensei is a math teacher at the college, and also has over 20 years of experience actually teaching martial arts. He's a good professor and sensei, and pretty much all his students from either arena really enjoy working with him. I'm a green belt now and think I could go toe-to-toe with green belts from other dojos. And money, yes. The classes themselves are free... we've only had the purchase equipment. We don't even have to pay for tournaments (well, we do. But we get reimbursed).
In short, while the club's conditions aren't ideal, we have a lot going for us and I feel confident in my Chidokwan abilities.
We have the same due to being a uni club - we have to share gym time (where the dojo is situated) with other classes. The head-sensei is also the Course Coordinator for Mechanical Engineering, and was my early mechanical subjects lecturer. As he's a little Asian guy with a distinct accent, I had an edge on everyone else in the class if understanding what he was saying
As for weapons, I only fool around with 'em, don't actually train, but one of the advantages of Shorinji is that the movements can be adapted very easily to be used with weapons, so when I train with my bokken (either one now - girlfriend got me a hefty black one for Christmas) it's essentially practicing my Shorinji Kempo routines.

I'm all about the Mac - crashes less, everything works together, programmed for security... really dig it. I'm not toooooo crazy about the MacBook Air because I like having CD/DVD drives and other ports, not having it all through remote wireless to another computer. Just an opinion, very cool machine, though.
Granted, the latest macs now leech a bit of the security inherent in unix-like environments, but programmed for security? I think you're confusing what's been targetted with what's targettable.
And to echo what's already been said re: virii - I run Vista, with only default security settings. I haven't had a crash (aside from those caused by poor videocard beta drivers - however, I choose to blame nVidia for that) and if I do have virii ... well, maybe my beast is so powerful I don't even notice the slowdown.
The Macbook Air is intriguing, I admit, but a Mac for me would just be an exceptionally expensive toy. An Asus Eee on the other hand... Might still be a toy, but for nowhere near the price

I dunno, I think of geek as antisocial - being a part of OCR doesn't make you antisocial
.No Bahamut, OCR is definitely geeky. That's not a bad thing though. Ok, obviously in some aspects it is, but that's what the thread Maha set up is for.

Considering I was alone, I just kept casting Fire 2 on the golem. It did moderate damage and was the spell that did the least damage to me when he did his copy ability. Add on Shell *forgot what it is really called in chrono trigger*, and he was no threat.
Great minds think alike.

You're installing the latest version, right? That could be the problem. First of all, uninstall both Flash and Firefox. Then, clear all registry entries concerning them. Then, reinstall Firefox, and install first Flash 7, make sure that works (it should). After that, try the latest Flash 9 version. If that causes problems, you'll know that for whatever reason, the latest version doesn't work.

Hey guys, can I be a ct playin nigga too? I mean, I know I'm not black and all ... BUT I HAD A REALLY DEEP TAN ONCE! That's gotta count, right?

A fun little diversion. And about one of the more interesting characters.

The most obvious effect? Well, I've got roughly a week's worth of music that, by and large, has no lyrics! (Yes, this is a good thing - lyrics generally destroy awesome music because the singer is often poorly trained, if at all) More than that, it's helped keep me sharp, dealing with some of the more, er, aggressive personalities on here.
Finally, being the relatively normal person that I am (aside from the incredible intelligence, amazing good looks, awesome sense of humour and great modesty) on an otherwise geeky-site, I like to think I might've been able to help a few folks in their IRL encounters with others. In a way, that's possibly the most rewarding part.

Regardless, Vader looks pretty hardcore. And really, with a system like the PS3, that's all you can ask for. Heaven forbid you get gameplay.

I'm going to have to agree with superjoe - there's an epic feel here that the original didn't quite convey. The fact that a remix can is quite impressive. I've never actually been one to listen to the Ice Cap themes, because for whatever reason, most of them rubbed me the wrong way.
Not so this one. Sure, flogging the dead horse, as DJP said, but it's a good flogging. I really can't think of anything else to say at this point, save that it'll be going into my Top Rated playlist.
