yeah, well the last time i got kicked (for having a different stand on the war than jeff has) was the last time i bothered. nice to know it's not full of censored-goodness anymore. is it still racist? just offering my two cents of course, i know how important differing viewpoints are you to guys, an...

i miss the good old days when threads were going so off-tangent that john felt the need to create an off topic section. yeah, flash should stop being a topic nazi, that would help. i talk a lot about organization, but on a forum where someone makes a good point, that's not the time to bitch about w...

i thought so too. image is increasingly important here, and when you first show up, people are really friendly. some of them may continue to be. i think you can count on pizzasgood 99.999% of the time if you need to talk to a decent actual human being that also happens to be rather brilliant. if he ...

i can only imagine how "crocodile dundee" was/is received in the united states of australia (sorry john...) but thayt's nawt an ill-advised raynt... flash, thanks for "bringing the funny" to this thread. i didn't know that you had to write a superior operating system (after all, ...

Cdrecord spits out a bunch of messages at you saying that there are unsettled issues with Linux-2.6. It encourages you to use Linux-2.4 or try Solaris. yep! you can invoke wodim as cdrecord. This should mean that if we move to cdrkit then all the old frontends should still work. AHA! I would like t...

before you give up, partition as fat32, install freedos (you won't need to setup any annoying things like config.sys, you can put in a blank autoexec.bat too) and when you have time, copy the files from the cd (that's the fun part, but it can be done...) and load using dos grub or loadlin. i have 3 ...

politics can = chaos too. just because i'm sympathetic or choose one word over another doesn't mean i have a problem with politics. on the other hand, the worst stuff happens when people surrender ethics to politics. politics and ethics have nothing to do with each other, at all. politics are like a...

i thought a lot about which word to use... maybe you can think of a better one. seriously, there is a finite number of english words that most people have heard used before. "sadly" acknowledges the desire many have to be devoid of politics. i can appreciate that, but it just isn't possibl...

why indeed!

yeah, that's not good. ordinarily, it's much better to have a second drive (like you do) for swapping, much more efficient. to rule that out otoh, you might want to move the swap to a drive you know works, (like the main one puppy is using?) and play a few mp3's before moving it back. then we know i...

well then it's a good thing i like making people laugh
very cute.

"bad words" is a phrase for small minds... you know what they say, "profanity is the inevitable linguistic crutch of the inarticulate m*****f*****." anyway, it's funny that on the one hand, people are complaining that dell is entering into microsoft's "protection" agree...

All those of you who think there is no problem, think again. There is a big problem, caused by the fact that the US patent office seems willing to issue patents to Microsoft on just about anything. no, it's not a big problem. it's a potentially big problem. what happened to no politics, nathan? sud...

i think this has been mentioned already. another good reason to use the bugtracker instead of using the forum to track bugs.

not your fault, of course... people are still deciding if it would be a good idea to be able to find bugs and organize them without using a forum that isn't fit for the task.

it probably would have been better if flash hadn't started by suggesting that everything that go there depend on this forum. no bugtracker should depend on a forum... the whole reason for having one is that forum doesn't cut it for bug tracking (ffs.) by the way, has anyone posted about the "2....

fair retort. if the bloat needed to do it in windows is there, then it's tricky to complain about the bloat needed in versions of puppy that make it easy. i stand by the rest of course, when it's really not easy for the average person, it shouldn't be claimed that it is. room for opinions on what ea...

a. servage scammed you. they scammed everyone on this forum, too. b. on a machine running xp at a very fast speed, i can go full screen with powerdvd, or i can run vlc (foss) in high or realtime (in xp) and ALMOST get as much performance, or i can play the same dvd in gxine in puppy at maybe 400x300...

learn about dd. i'm not sure it will help in this case of course... you can always try making sure you haven't acccidentally slid the write only tab (if it has one, some do) over, and with sd cards (not the same thing, but think about it) on occasion i've done something that was fixed by putting the...
