It speaks volumes that the limit of your cultural reference is some shitty 20 year old movie. Anyone with a basic knowledge of Norse mythology is familiar with Loki, but I guess this requires being able to read a book on occasion. The stupid you emit is actually scary.
you brought it up there douchebag.......i know of both sides, but i know where you knew it from given your previous character on tan..........your pretty easy to read, yet you go to lengths to hide that...........no prob bro.....if you lie to me thats cool, but you've almost crossed the line to lying to yourself, you live with that my friend, i don't..........whatever makes you feel good about yourself is whats important here, all i can say is......motherfucking lol...........and i'm sure the rest of tan will aswell..........thanks for coming out bro
The things with stupidity and ignorance is that there is just no way to fight against it. Given how well you seem to know that movie I'll let you just get back to watching it while getting drunk in your mother's basement.

You should name her Loki, after the Norse god of mischief.
you just watched that shitty movie the mask by jim carey.......don't for one second ignore that - this is exactly what you're talking about........if at any point you try and explain yourself like you knew about it before the movie, go fucking off yourself as lying to us and yourself that bad warrants suicide............not only are you awarded no points for this answer, the rest of us are now dumber having heard it.......may god have mercy on your soul
^what about migrating docs between the two programs?
LibreOffice opens and edits .doc/.docx [Word], .[PowerPoint] ppt/.pptx, and .xmlx/xls [Excel] formats. You can export in those formats and, if you're really paranoid, also PDF.
If you're worried, LibreOffice is available for OSX and Windows platforms too, so give it a try. Keep in mind though that while it is very similar to Office, its interface differs in some areas (which shouldn't be too surprising given that it's a completely different program), so there is a very slight learning curve if you're already accustomed to Office. Still, nothing to worry about.
One other piece of advice: if you anticipate writing a lot of papers, I highly recommend you check out the Zotero citation manager. It's available as a stand-alone client or a firefox extension. It integrates with writing programs (including Word, LibreOffice, and Pages) to make formatting your citations and compiling your bibliography really easy.
linux is easier to use. ask anyone who's actually used it. not someone like matt who just "knows" things.
yeah i looked it up a bit, seems the biggest hurdle is microsoft office, and because of uni i want to keep it. (that and i like it)
Nonsense. I'm a professor and editor and there is virtually nothing that MS Office will do that LIbreOffice won't. The few extra things Office does are so specialized that in order to use them you need to be editing a very particular kind of book or journal to ever use--not the kind of thing you need to worry about in university courses or the vast majority of occupations.
Hmm... maybe first and foremost, have you been running your updates (not just the ones in the automatic update center).
Also, what version of Mint are you using (11, 12, lmde), what what desktop environment are you using (Gnome-shell, Mate, Cinnamon)?
Open terminal and run "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade". Log out and then log back in. If things are still wonky, log out and try logging in with a different desktop environment (Mint 12 comes with both Gnome-shell and Mate by default, so just switch to whichever one you aren't using and try again)
use "sudo aptitude update" and "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade", if you don't have aptitude install it "sudo apt-get install aptitude". aptitude is better than apt-get as it handles reverse dependences on unistall. and dist-upgrade is a more complete upgrade. that's all i have to say. that and reboot, not just logout, incase there's any lowlevel upgrades...
Well, yes, but dist-upgrade can run into its own dependency issues (this is precisely what the Mint Update Center is meant to avoid). I hadn'te realized there was a difference between 'apt-get' and 'aptitude'. Good to know.

Until last week I've been using Linux Mint regularly and liking it a lot. Except for gaming. Then I use my xp. Transmission is the default that came with the install and it seems to work great. Tho I haven't done it yet, a proxy is a really good idea. I would imagine using a proxy server would mean you wouldn't have to worry about using something like moblock or peer guardian. I say "until last week" because I tried installing nvidia drivers from the control panel and now it don't work right. So I've been using my xp for pretty much everything until i can figure it out.
What do you mean you triend installing the nvidia drivers from control panel? Are you meaning the restricted drivers application that automatically pops up? That is what you should probably be using and, if it is, often there are 2 or 3 options for nvidia restricted drivers. Make sure you only install one (installing all three can create conflicts), and if one didn't work, uninstall it and try a different one.
As to Transmission, what you're describing isn't really meant for proxying, but more for restricting who might be leaching off you (useful if you have one using trying to take 10 different torrents from you at once and are hogging all your upload bandwidth). Proxies can be useful, but less so if you're downloading torrents, and a lot of proxies put restrictions on that kind of usage anyhow.
First, you kids need to do some book learnin' and figure out what an analogy is.
Second, the LHC computing grid--to which Windows, Mac, and Linux systems can all connect--is itself based on a custom linux distribution called CernVM.
that's nice, i'll take something smaller and super reliable any day. You are forgetting that i simply don't give a fuck what any of your gender could possibly think of my vehicle. You see, I buy vehicles based on practical need and ability, not some inane sense of whats cool and trendy.
Then again, you're pretty young so I don't balme you for thinking that way. Similarly in the way you cannot blame a dog when it goes bezerk; it hasn't been trained properly.
Shortbox and practical need do not go together. If you NEED a truck you get one with a full-sized box, otherwise you're just another city-hillbilly posing as someone who actually does manual labour.
Yep, good example of how overflowing $$$ stifles creativity. It doesn't have to, but the money usually goes to everyones head, and they think the money will do the work for them, versus when they started out they were really using their brain for the money.
Happens a lot in music I believe too. That's why I'll never pursue my hobbies for money, even if people gave me money I'd still be doing it because I like my hobbies for them, not for money.
NDP...i understand the whole philosophy of not voting and why...but for some self-reassuring bullshit excuse, and after experiencing and witnessing state oppression, i had to vote....with the tories with the majority, we can say goodbye to what canada was, unless...
The problem with voting in such a corrupt system is that even that lends legitimacy to it. While not voting is too easy to write off as disinterest going out and intentionally spoiling your ballot is a great way to protest, and there are even precedents of huge numbers of spoiled ballots forcing electoral reform. Personally I voted for everyone and then wrote "This is not freedom" in the remaining white spaces.
On the plus side, there are a whole shit load of "I told you so's" coming our way.
haha! It is very rare for a pure-bred feline to miss a jump like that.... you can see the cat puts his paws on the paper which it probably thought was a sturdier or more tractable surface
I'm a bit curious as to what a half-bred feline might look like
I really like linux (Mint 10 on the family desktop, Arch on my personal one). I'm really curious to see if the rising popularity of Android will encourage people to try out desktop distros (even though they really aren't anything like Android).
Have to agree: SRWare Iron is the best browser out there. I have FF4 too and it isn't bad, it just doesn't seem to be anything special (and still not as fast as Iron).
Except as all vegetarians know, the veggie pizza always goes first, eaten by the haters too ashamed to order it themselves and too cowardly to admit the fucking love it.
Finally, definitive proof that environmentalists are simply a bunch of alarmist reactionaries with a disdain for science. If only they too could dawn masks andd be as articulate and persuasive as these fellows.
Haha, Douchedevice actually has to "spend quality time" with women if he wants to get laid.
I found this quite amusing, not only did I laugh at the barf picture, how quickly it turned on him (without me interfering at all) was especially funny.
Those of us heterosexuals adverse to hookers and rape usually don't mind spending quality time with women.
How is it that in Wolffe's mind dancing men is the synonymous with the failings of the contemporary world whereas hillbillies with gun is somehow its salvation? If you're more threatened by the former than the latter you have some serious closet issues to deal with.
Tidbit for you readers of Sun newspapers across Canada: when doing archival research via university library databases it's very difficult to access Sun articles because the paper (in all its manifestations) is classified as a tabloid, not a newspaper. So, even if you do manage to access Sun articles (on occasion one can find a branch of Sun in the newspaper databases), one does well to remember that it hardly meets journalistic standards.
You are proof that 1) twelve years is not nearly enough, and 2) someone should lock your mind back up. The change from 39 to 60: that was for swallowing.
If you think guns don't kill people, people kill people, I would recommend you read philosopher/sociologist/anthropologist Bruno Latour. Talking about objects and technology, he summarizes the issue well: if you think the object doesn't matter, try boiling water with your bare hands. If you remove the object and the consequences and actions change, then it does matter--the object/technology does something outside of human action and intentions. If we follow the logic of the pro-gun lobbyists, then why wouldn't you openly let incarcerated felons carry firearms? After all, guns don't kill people...
