Completely Unrelated / Who here loves their Dreamcast?!
« on: 2009-02-27 19:34:53 »
I've had one for about 5 years and I loved it until it died. Its a shame that a game console with such a high good-bad game ratio was ended so soon. Its like condensing a PS2 game collection, but enough from me, how do you like it?
I enjoyed old school shooters on it, it had such a nice anti aliasing chip on it. Since then I have been playing the 360, but aside from the great controller, theres really not much to play except Halo 3 IMO.

What was your experience with this fantastic piece of technology?

I think it was you who suggested/told of the greatness of Deus Ex. I played it and loved every bit of it. That game has some of the most fun gameplay I have ever played

Starting on last Friday I started a horrible trend of cr4ppyness in general. First of all I tried partitionmagic. No worries pirated it off something and then when I was off deleting my old stuff so I could try out a linux partition, IT happened. Beginning with partition magic turning my 200+GB partition into a piece of trash, I started my horrible week.

After it ruined my partition in general, I spent the whole saturday and also sunday morning trying to save my files, which I used GETDATABACK for NTFS which proved to be efficent and generally good, but only after wading though the crap in which I spent over 13 good hours trying to figure out. Eventually though I choose GETDATABACK, and it spent a good 3 hours trying to figure out the jargon that I couldn't. Well anyways I thought all was good, until I l realized that I needed an exteral hard drive to store all the information to. I had to beg for about 4 hours before I got one, and when I sent it there, I was so happy that everything was going to be OK. It took the whole night to copy, but I thought, who cares right? Everythings going to be OK.

When I later installed PCLinuxOS, I had no idea that everything was going to be so.. different. I copied everything to a nice partition for them, and then, I had a terrible problem with the mount /, in which I repartitioned my hard drive and it was just a very very bad thing. I recopied everything from the External again, and then the problem happened again. I had a good friend named Dashed on the internet help me fix this horrible error, and to my great surpise and his own, all I needed to do was mount /(namehere) and it would work. Great! When I accesed my files, I had no idea some of them would not work. It was horrible because some of the stuff was difficult to get or was now impossible for me to get. I saved the filenames, but thats only if they still exist, which I'm sure some of them don't.

Anyways, I started up Beryl, and lo and behold more errors. I wanted my resolution to be greater, and then that horrible LCD I had could not display it's non native resolution. I had to ask for some more help, in which I edited another very important display file, with the help of BadWolf. When I reinstalled PCLOS for the third time, and installed beryl with no problems, except that it had no minimize, maximize or exit, and when I listened to a few posters on some forums, I suppose I must had written some things wrong when editing my nvida files, and then it refused to work.

I broke xorg.conf... thats what the GUI in linux draws from, and after I fixed it, I realized that KDE would not start up because I for some reason had broken that too. So then I burnt BulletXP twice, and both times they did not work because for some reason I get a 0xoooooo7B error. Thats when I decided to delete my / partition and lo and behold BulletXP does not work again! I had some Dell one though, which I'm glad I kept and it worked fine. Now here are some things I would like to suggest if you are planning on trying linux.

Beware that although linux does everything windows does, it may do it "wrong". I missed foobar2000, which had unrar support (you didn't need to unzip your songs) and Irfanview in which I was able to press the directional keys to change pages. They had Amarok and Kview, which did the same thing, as they were a media player and also an image processor, but they did not act as I wanted them to.

PCLinuxOS has some odd problems. They do not automaticly correct themselves. The LCD which did not display at certain settings was a prime example of that, and most laymen would rather have an idiotproof system such as the will revert in 10 seconds found in Windows. Not sure if it does this in Ubuntu but I'm guessing its harder to break with GNOME, althought I hate the interface.

I don't mind if you laugh or if you don't understand heres what happened in layman's terms.
I broke my computer, by:

reinstalling 12x times total, of PCLinuxOS and Windows combined.

Destroying maybe 5% of data, the 5% required to run a few programs and some media.

Wasting about a week doing all of this.

Trying to learn linux while trying to get my computer to work half of the time.

Thanks for reading.

Completely Unrelated / Why do people like Oboma?
« on: 2007-01-17 05:43:07 »
Qhimm forums always has the smartest people politically, so I would like to ask my topic question. They have been featured in Ebony for being the hottest couple and all, and I just don't get it. I live in Chicago, he has done next to nothing as far as I can tell, and people love him. I originally though its because of his race, he is black (sorry if I seem a bit racist to you all) and that seems to be the case. And he is considering running for president now, and I just don't get it...
Shed some light please...

I personally used IE through Maxthon, which was like a Firefox on steriods, because for whatever reason, Firefox was very very very slow for me. I used it up until recently, when I started using the robust code of Opera.
My question to you all is this:

What you currently use
What exactly do you want in your browser
What makes your browser better
What do you love the most about your browser
What would make your browser better

I like Opera because it is so fast, and it fixes minor issues (like accidental tab delete)
So far, Opera is the fastest for me
I like the minor convienience that it gives me
Some stuff from Maxthon (built in AD block, drag and drop links, highlight links to tab, non-standard opera engine for BT, and IRC)

I am reading it so far. Its like a drug to me now. I couldn't stop reading it... I waw up all night reading it. Its art is superior to all other manga I have seen. It talks about a new world order, one ruled by a person who killed criminals and judged them. However, there is a special team after him, and he uses everyone (even the cute girl ><). But it talks a lot of good philosophy, and it has some really original ideas, such as a money drop to evade captures... What are your thoughts on it? If its not illegal, I can PM links to anyone who wants them, as I believe that they are not yet liscensed in anywhere besides Japan.

Completely Unrelated / Thank You WIRELESS
« on: 2006-05-21 21:47:01 »
I have been without internet for a week, everyone may have noticed the lack of useless information for the past week. I have never bought internet yet, my first internet was when Netzero had every right to be called Netzero, because it was free. My second internet came from the UIC, which was a dial up, and worked until about 3 years ago. Afterward the age of DSL set in and wireless internet was everywhere! Therefore I used my cousin's internet, which the approved of, but their mother didn't. That worked for about a year, and then she found out and took down the internet. Now I am using someone's linksys and getting no signal except if I am right by one of my windows,and it frequently cuts off, so no more direct downloads. What I am trying to ask is: is there some way for me to never get kicked off their router, and if you have any simular stories, please tell them and how it ended. Looking forward to hearing them!

Recently there has been a lot of problems around me. Just after making a post yesterday, my mom destroyed my computer and now I have no computer...
Despite my computer being completely out of date, I loved everything about its 384mb RAM, 12gig hard drive, and its 500megahertz processor.
It's vpenis may not have been the best, but it was there for me since 1998.
What should I do? I need to find a way to not have this happen again...
Thanks...
I think I may have an unhealthy obsession with computer, what should I do about that?

Ok, I search through the forums and I couldn't find a patch to turn the original Cloud sprite into Miss Cloud, heh. If anyone has time would someone please consider making one? it would be fun just to see it I suppose, and play through the game with that sprite.

Thanks!
