A few unsorted points
| November 7th, 2005I don’t feel like rambling on one subject so I’ll throw a few out there.
- Movies have sucked lately – Yes, I realize this isn’t a technology-based point. Does it look like I care? No, no I don’t. But I have seen a fair amount of movies as of late, and just about all of them have been quite disappointing. The most recent of this bunch is Jarhead. Now, Jarhead is a great movie if you’re someone not expecting a lot of action in a war movie, and are looking for more of a dramatic, sensitive war movie. However, if I’m seeing a movie at 12:00 at night, I expect something a little more exciting than Donnie Darko’s ass to keep me awake. And really, there was a lot of ass.
- Ubuntu – What the fuck? Linux… user friendly? It’s like a dream come true! Integrated package management? Yep. A GUI that isn’t hacked to shit like Fedora Core’s? Yep! Well, it certainly passes my “non-shitty Linux distro” checklist.
- AOpen – Why are you guys still producing? Why? You make cheap, ugly shit. I was looking into the AOpen version of the NVidia 6600GT video card. Wow, what an undercooled piece of shit you guys made! Congratulations, you passed my “companies you really shouldn’t buy from but I guess you can if you’re a cheap bastard and you want computer parts assembled by small children fired from Nike sweatshops because they were too old but AOpen didn’t mind because they have absolutely no quality control anyway” checklist!
I actually had more but the nighttime medicine I took is kicking in. Instead, here’s a picture that Dave drew:
