Screw Photoshop, I'm a programmer not an artist. If I need anything more special than coloured squares done the GIMP very much suffices. Also, why would I want to play Crysis? It probably wouldn't even run well enough on my PC.

Allow me to be all snobbish now and say that seeing as I use Linux it is almost impossible for me to get viruses. I laugh at you from my imaginary free-software-based pedestal.

If it's the same dodgy antivirus which infected two Windows computers on my network, then the way I got rid of it was with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. It cleared it right up, no hassle, no need for safe mode.

Your life seems to revolve around semi-trolling a forum about geeky handheld consoles and doing drugs.

I read code by its indentation, which makes it more difficult to understand non-indented code. Hence why Python's forced indent is good; not only does it mean that I can read all Python code easily but it encourages people to indent their code elsewhere (which they should be doing anyway).

Smoking marijuana is linked to lung cancer, but that is an effect of the smoking and not of the drug itself. It's still safer than tobacco in that regard.

Python is inherently slower than compiled languages in most cases, due to its interpreted nature. But this doesn't disqualify it as a useful language; it is far, far simpler to code most things in Python than in C, C++ or even Java. The object-orientation makes it especially suited to GUI...

VB is a shitty language. It's essentially BASIC which has had extra bits stuck on and shoved in until it resembles a useful language. VB.NET is slightly better, but not much. It'd be much better if you learned Python or, if you're doing more Windows development, C++.NET or C#.NET. C++ is...

I was sure there was someone in his 50s about, so you never know.

A UN study on marijuana found that the best way, without a doubt, of controlling the problems we have with the drug is to legalise and regulate it. Which makes perfect sense; marijuana is in many ways less dangerous than tobacco and alcohol, and the main problem we have with it is that it often...

Altering partition sizes after the partitions have been created is risky business and doesn't always work. It can be done, but it's much better to plan out your partitions first.

I've been using Linux for... five years now and I didn't know a lot of these.

I'm still rooting for Duke Nukem Forever.

My case has little metal bumps instead of standoffs. At least, I assume they're instead of standoffs - the motherboard didn't short out, and if my motherboard were any further out nothing else would fit properly. I thought we'd done away with standoffs and non-standard hole positions; guess it...

Aww, these are so adorable :wub: The last photo is my favourite.

My AIM account apparently doesn't work on bebo. How strange. Somehow, I don't feel like I'm missing much.

I'm afraid it isn't under the cat.

It occurs to me how much Rowan Atkinson looks like Osama Bin Laden, too. Maybe they are all the same person.

Pics, please. I don't think saying "how are you this fine Wednesday?" is a sign that you need to get over yourself. I say it myself (although only on Wednesdays), but I don't picture myself as a monocled aristocrat talking down to people. It's fairly jocular. What really gets me is how the girl...
