I installed Windows Server 2003 and everytime I boot, it asks me if I want to boot into install 1 or install 2. Both still see all my files and share all my configurations. What happened, I think, is I accidently installed it twice. It asked for the CD to finish up some server thing (after rebooting for the third time) and I think it auto installed again. You can have two different installs of Windows side by side if you dont want to format (at least for 98 and 2003 server). It's like installing a program in two different directories -- 98 would ask you before you installed, at least. "Format and loose all data." "Some other option. No loss of data."

I think they wanted testers for their "easy" website design software. You'll probably see it for sell eventually.

I ran into a dumpster once.

Yeah, I didn't go to the ER cause it wasn't "cronic." My doctor seems to think I need preventive surgery but I told him no. One of his patients lost a testicle to torsion and had complained about a prolonged blue ball the week before. But that's not enough to justify anything. It could have just been something wierd, not mean anything, and never happen again.

You can do that with the method I posted above. I'm not sure if it's possible with just one session but I'm sure it could be done w/ some codding. It might be something pretty neat to do -- you should submit the idea in gnome's feedback: http://live.gnome.org/Feedback http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

What do you mean by icons? Like you want a "home" icon that looks like the house and another that looks like something else? You can make your own icons by editing the text to point to a certain immage. I'm not entirely possitive that you can have a different set of desktop icons for each. Everything on your desktop is located /home/you/Desktop. There might be a textfile somewhere that you can edit to specify which folder but I don't think you can make it change per desktop. (look in /home/you/.gnome) Try looking around cause Linux is made to be able to do things like this. There is one neat feature you might like. Make a new user, like insane_alien2, and give it all the normal permisions (there should be a useredit thing). Hold down ctrl+alt+F2 (or F3, F4...through F6) Log in as that account. And run startx -- :1 Now you can switch not just between desktops but between user names in less than a second (hense different icons). Cycle w/ ctrl+alt+F7/F8. I set all my games to run in another x server in case it crashes and I have to ctrl+alt+backspace. xinit /usr/games/bin/bzflag -- :1 Actually, you can do whatever you want. Unlike Windows, Linux isn't limited to just one graphical screen. Install another desktop, like xfce4, and you can run as the same user. Just log in as insane_alien and run startxfce4 -- :1. Or have two gnome sessions running. Whatever. If you already have two x sessions open, use -- :2,3,4... Read man xinit and man startx for more information. You might try asking at linuxquestions.org. edit: Btw, this is a great way to quickly remove stuff you dont want to be seen from your screen. "Shit, somebody's coming in!" *ctrl+alt+F7

The first thing my doctor said was that it's probably a torsion and if it started to hurt w/o sexual activity to go to the ER. He sent me in for an ecothing and they didn't find anything "serious." I can go in for the surgery to fix it but enduring 3 and a half to 4 hours of one blue ball is probably a lot more practical. Has anybody had the surgery? How long were you in the hospital?

I think it was the scienceforums.com thing.

You know in Windows there's this thing called like 3dxp or something. It gives you a cube, each face a different desktop and you can cycle through them. Linux also has something like that. As for your different icons /worspaces on Linux: There should be little cube things (at the bottom, I think.) that say "Desktop 1, Desktop 2, Desktop 3 etc). You can click on Desktop 2, for instance, load apps, do whatever, and they'll stay there. Click desktop 1 and it brings you back to desktop one. Right click an app and you can "send it" to the desktop of your choice. You can set different backgrounds and settings for each one in options. If four isn't enough for you, you can set it to have as many as 20. It's pretty nifty for organizing things. Have all your websites, documents, and photos for a research project in one and have your normal stuff in another. That way your research project doesn't clutter everything up. Most (all?) Linux desktops (XFCE4, KDE, etc) have this. It's been forever sense I've used gnome so I'm not sure the specifics. I'm emerging it, though, as soon as 2.14 is available on Gentoo. (yeah, I know, I'm lazy. But what are automatic package managers for, anyway?)

Lol. It was, or started as, blue balls. You normally dont go to the ER because of it. ;-) I have an appointment scheduled Friday, though. Don't want to take a chance and loose one!

Not if you're a good kisser. Lol, honestly though, I hear the same thing from lots of guys. You want to be different then those kinds of men to stand out and be appealing to girls -- bad logic if you ask me. They get chicks, and you dont. Think about it. Women will remember you for active dates, like fairs, ice skating, etc. If they have a lot of fun, find a secluded area, and move in ;-) Women appreciate guys who go for what they want. If she seems unconfterble, though, just back off. No big deal; it's not like she'll hate you for it. Run your fingertiop along her ear, under, and missage the earlobe. Drives women crazy. It feels really good -- an older girlfriend showed me. But women like to make out too. You're not being some kind of asshole just because you get physical. What you might need is like an "easy" girl to learn from. If you find somebody like that she might not care that you're inexperienced. Just dont act like a little ***** about it. You'll have much more fun if you dont worry about anything -- laugh and be adventurous!

My English teacher told us that the other day. I thought it was kind of stupid but most of the class was like "wow, cool!" One girl didn't even get it -- I had to spell it out for her. 1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 "Neat, hu?" My teacher doesn't realize that this would provokes people to stay up latter We need our sleep...

I tried looking for a medical forums but couldn't really find any. I know I'm going to look back and see this as a stupid post but it seems pretty abnormal to me. I had blue balls, you know, and after like twenty minuits my right testicle was fine. I have blue balls all the time and it's normally not that big a deal. Half an hour, most of the time, and it goes away. But my left testicle has continued to hurt -- over two hours after it started (the pain is also in my lower left abdomen). It doesn't hurt as bad as it did originally, but it's been the same grade of pain for the past hour and doesn't seem to be getting any better. I looked on wikipedia, which says prostatic congestion will be prolonged if you have priapism (a boner lasting more than four hours) or an orchalgia ("chornic pain") and that this require immediate medical attention. One cause of this is testicular torsion. It's 10:20 and I'd rather be in bed right now, for school, but I'm afraid to go to sleep until it stops hurting. If it really is a torsion then my left nut could be dead when I wake up. Hopefully I'll be fine but right now I'm probably going to avoid my girlfriend till I see the docter. In an hour, if it's not better, I'm waking my parrents and going to the emergency room. Totally sucks.

This is exactly what we dont want to see in any of these threads

If only more people knew about the alternatives to being stuck with Microsoft's bullshit. If they made genuine good products there would be less to complain about. The only reason they stay afloat is because they know how to abuse the system. Most people who use computers are stupid and dont know any better. What do they know about any of this?

What do I like about myself? Everything!

MUDs are awsome. I play a less known one called kinslayer weel of time ( kinslayer.mine.nu : 2222 ) If you're using UNIX get Gnome-MUD!!! It has an auto mapper, color coded messages, and all kinds of cool stuff that zmud only wishes it had. The great thing about any open source MUD client is that you can code in bots to auto do stuff. Two other games: Wesnoth (strategy) BZFlag (shooter) They're both open source, fun, and run on any OS. Oh, and you cant forget about mines!

I'm not sure how it got set. It's new, kindof, but it's never censored my shows before. I got it fixed, though. The password is 0000 -- probably the default or something.

Do not, EVER, take girls literally. They never mean what they say. To a girl this can mean so many other things than just "give me a week or so." Anybody who's read David DeAngelo would understand why that's funny. She says give me time and you're like "Alright, I'll give her a week!" Lol. I'm supprissed Pleiades didn't say anything about that.

Lol Dak. On Linux, /etc/hosts is a local file that, if you set your system up to do this, will store resolved DNS lookups so it doesn't have to querry the ISP every time to find out where an address is located. edit: bah, got answered above

Had they played wolfenstein before with no problems or had they just installed the game and started playing it? Wolfenstein requires like "the whole screen," right? It could've made changes to the graphics in order for it to run.

I get this error on my TV. I think it's a v-chip thing but I don't know how it would have got set. I think it changed itself cause it was working like 3 hours ago. Maybe I sat on the remote or the TV got struck by lightning. I dont know. But now, it doesn't work. My parrents definitely did not put parrental blocking on it -- but this is a v-chip message, isn't it? How do you fix the TV?

This isn't the only site that does it. It was just the only one I could find. Like I said above, one site was a forum. I visited it from my school but at my computer it always showed my website. Google even had a cache of it -- a random forum about computers or something. This means they had to have configured it to let google through or something. I don't know why, though.

I was thinking the same thing, too. Somehow they're going to cite the study on a commercial and try to make some money.

Is it just me or does it seem this entier thread has been about software and not the actual, physical reasons a processor works? You learn about and/or/whatever gates in computer science class. We had to write programs with them -- make flow charts like the one above.
