    The Titanic sinking eh? wonder why the theme song wasn't "Under The Sea" instead of "My Heart Will Go On!"

    That made me laugh!

    You: What?

     

    Me: Wood. get it?

    I really enjoy the speed, customization, and security of Linux. Additionally, it has great opportunity for "ricing," (although that term may have roots in a racial slur, citation needed). You can use a variety of desktop environments, the most popular being KDE, GNOME, Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, and LXDE, but also an even larger amount of window managers, my all-time favorite being the Awesome window manager. At the advice of NeKit, I started using Gentoo and have settled on it as my distribution of choice for a year or so now, though I still use other distros for special purposes (networking, generally).

    That said, Windows 7 is pretty nice, aside from the price and the insecurity of it being proprietary, which really doesn't affect most of us, for gaming. For all except the high-end games, I run it in a virtual machine for any time I want to play/read a game. Compared to earlier versions, it's much nicer and has very good security features, though irritatingly the home editions don't have a group policy console or the like. Windows 8, from what I've tried of it, isn't too bad for most users, but it's pretty insecure. It's tough to find a way to actually shut it down, and any organizational work on it is a hassle.

    To those of you running Windows XP: you should be very careful, it's not very secure. Microsoft is only providing support until April 2014, so less than a year, so if some sort of remote exploit comes out after that, you're almost sure to get something bad very often.

     

    Do you have a Raspberry Pi?

    Hello all! For my first thread, I am starting a story-collaboration type thing. What will happen is I will start the story, and then anyone can post and continue it. It can go on forever!!!

    Guidelines:

    -posts can be as long or as short as you want, within reason (one word is fine, but no novels please)

    -Please don't finish the story, leave on a cliffhanger where other people can add on.

    -continue on the last post, not halfway up the page.

    -Have fun!

     

    Start:

    Sonic, and tails are walking through the forest after a long, brutal fight with Eggman. Both of them were beat up pretty badly. Cuts, scrapes, and bruises scattered the two freedom fighters bodies. they don't usually get beat up this bad in fights, but Eggman doesn't usually have an agile, new robot that can keep up with them. finally, the two found a familiar landmark and started for home. suddenly out of nowhere.....(this is where the next person posts)

    Did you watch it in Japanese? Or in English?

     

    I started out watching it in Japanese (with the subtitles on), but then found the English version, and watched it over again. It is interesting how the dialogue is different in the English version than the Japanese. in the Japanese one, Sonic doesn't talk as often.
