Including what I could get of the Beryl Window system to work. Now normally
it gives you a six-face cube for a desktop, which you can rotate, but I
never got it to do anything consistent for me.

Still, I could browse the web, download from ALT.BINARIES.SLACK, play MP3
and MOV files, logon, logoff, and empty the trash successfully. Which is
about all the average SubG ever needs to do besides pee and whank and drop
stool, all of which are better done offline anyhow.

So what am I complaining about, the price was right, all FREE FREE FREE.
And compared to Windows, which has been very good to me, Linux is worth
EVERYTHING I PAID FOR IT. With Windows, at least I could POST my own
binaries, play MIDI files, and use my webcam. Well, by the time my PRIME
system here becomes the old shoe, in that glorious future perhaps UBUNTU
will be sufficiently well developed to satisfy me completely, and I can slap
a Linux on it before I turn it over to the glue factory.

Viddy this, me droogies:

You have to actually put different desktop arrangements
on each 'face' to have anything meaningful going on there,
sportini.

In udder words, if you have to suck-off the Cock Of Linux,
you MUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
Which actually includes RTFM, dude... :)

How does that joke about cramming all your audio files out
through /dev/nul go? That cannot be it!
It may be out through the /dev/whateveraudiodeviceiscalled
thingie, actually. It's supposed to be quite the thrill.

All you have to do is get several threads going,
all doing the same thing out of sync and on
different time-frames, and you are all set for
infinite boredom reduction quotient or whatever...

You could always try the old gravity test. Might not make it work,
but you get a weird sense of satisfaction.

Ubuntu doesn't support gravity. We're working on the drivers

I am surprised you didnt get automatix
to install all of that stuff you were having problems with.
Although, I expect you are outta luck with that webcam.
Everything else you complained about should be an easy fix.

Oh one last thing, why on earth did you install the latest unstable
instead of the stable one: 6.06 LTS:with long term support
I wont even upgrade yet, as the new ones are always a little shaky
at first (and I cant afford that running a server)

Well, I saw so many rave reviews for Edgy Eft. Besides, that gives you FF
2.0, which I was keen on trying out since I have some experience with it
under Windoze as a result of being pissed what they did with IE 7.
THOUGH...I rather like ActiveX instead.

Am considering trying IE run under Wine just for shits and grins. Once I
figure WINE out, that is.

PS, in my experience, once you get a SERVER running, I've never seen anybody
actually UPDATE one. Too risky. And being as far from the bleeding edge as
possible is always an advantage. That's a different world entirely. But
the desktop should have all the eye and ear candy OOB or what's the point.
This is where most touted Linux distros get it wrong.

Still, I futz around with a new Windows box for about two days before I have
it trained to find my G spot. My experience with UBUNTU (webcam excepted)
isn't much different.

Also, some asshole recommended to me to RTFM on Beryl.

HEH...fooled me! There IS no written manual. Just someone's BLOG and some
partly filled in Wiki articles.

Those apps WITH "help" files...you open them up and read some chapter and
find "TODO: <fill in this part>" all over the place. Some help.

Another negative for Linux. I smoke and am right handed.

Long ago, under Windoze, I switched myself over to left handed mouse
operation to leave the right hand free for, ummm, entertainment purposes.
It just so happens that I can arrange my day without ever touching the
keyboard, or more importantly, touch the keyboard and the mouse at the same
time. And super conveniently, all the handy keyboard shortcuts (ctrl C for
copy, ctrl V for paste) can be activated with the LEFT HAND, and alternating
with mouse movements, not simultaneous with them.

That's why I couldn't roll the Beryl cube desktop...the command requires TWO
HANDS SIMULTANEOUSLY (ctrl alt mousedrag). Unacceptable for me if I'm
smoking or eating. Yeah, sure, I could prolly change the keying trigger,
but then there is the problem of the NO DOCUMENTATION. I only find this out
by exploring every input panel of every option of every plugin that comes
with Beryl.

Perhaps I should shut up and fix all these things quietly, and then go off
and create iDRMRSRnix 1.0. That would give me quite a bit of street cred to
put out my OWN distro. Run the PC all day with JUST ONE HAND.

Do you know that if you said THE SAME THING to a psychiatrist you'd be
locked up in involuntary commital for a couple of months?

You don't "know" that.

On the surface, you appear to be selling the idea that stylometric
obfuscation is, in and of itself, grounds for involuntary committal. I
sincerely doubt that you're taking issue with the alleged content of
the message since you take zero pains to actually address any of it.

No, chances are you are merely just another fucking meatbug who has
managed to find a job with other meatbugs, posting structured garbage
on Usenet that was crafted with the ill-gotten gains of hatecrime.

Who says parasitism doesn't pay?

Y'know we have all these shiny laws and regulations in which the
deliniation of offenses specifically prohibit the very sort of
activities that make your "job" possible. We have a Charter of rights
that is also supposed to protect people from, oh, say, being tortured
to death or censored into oblivion. There's just one problem:
enforcement. Like, as in there isn't any when it is a case of
worthless fucksticks attached to a historically dominant religion set
out to attack their natural prey.

It is a fact that the piggies and excited snakes are lazy and corrupt
at best. Violent bigots as those exhibited in this thread would
entirely lack the opportunity to cause so much damage if they were
fucking well arrested when they START attacking their victims. Hint:
after sitting around on their asses for a bunch of years (at best), the
useless fucking chickenshit cops now find it even more inconvenient to
take action under their remit after doing nothing for so long.

*spit*

Steve
