I think my computer is killing my eyesight!!!

[Kaiser Raynor X]

Maybe this wasn't a good idea... I think I'm gonna puke... Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

[Kaiser Raynor X]

I realized I was like... 5 inches from my screen.... That's bad.. no wonder my head hurts... I was at 600x800 resolution.. ow trhat it the other way? but now I'm at 1024x782 or something like that.. and everything is so small I can';t read it... Perhaps I can retrain my eyes to be good. They are proly to used to focusing at close up.. now the focus must shift to smaller print... and my eyesite will improve... MAUUAHAHAHHAI hope... Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

poor kaiser Follow me!!! TAKE UP YOUR SPORKS!! AND FOLLOW ME TO BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kaiser Raynor X]

I didn't puke... but I reset my resolution... Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

[Ari Rahikkala]

It's 800x600 and 1024x768 :). I'm using a 19 inch screen at 1600x1200... Sometimes I need to make fonts a bit bigger to make them comfortably readable at my normal sitting position, but it's usually just nice. I usually would rather change font sizes than to strain to read text.

VIVA LA LINUX!! HAIL THE PENGUIN! Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

[Ari Rahikkala]

Am I just too mellow, cynical, or otherwise unwilling to "Hail the Penguin" even though my own box runs purely Linux? Proud proponent of iruka-ai everywhere

[Kaiser Raynor X]

But... Linux is our friend... Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

[Ari Rahikkala]

Yes. It is our friend. It is not our lord. Proud proponent of iruka-ai everywhere

Bow before your lord Linux!.. Cast of the hallow lies of Microsoft! Repent for your sins against the one true OS!(or anything else Unix based)! Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

[Ari Rahikkala]

[voice speaker="Agent Smith"]No.[/voice]Open-source Unix is not a lord. It is only a slave. Perhaps the stupidest and weakest of all the slaves man has ever had. It has no will and no direction of its own, it does not need anything nor want anything. All it has is its nature - the incredible richness, power and versatility that it offers. Note the word offers. It does not own this nature - it can only give it. In many cases, as a free gift. The proper course of action is to accept that gift and cherish it, and make the best of it that you can. But that's not all there is to it, for there is an even better course of action: Taking what has been given to you, improving on it, then giving it back - and since the nature of data is that it is infinitely copyable, you do not lose anything when doing this. Open-source is an ultimate positive-sum game.(speaking of versatility, I've been fiddling around with the 2.5.x series of Linux kernels today (the current development kernels). It took me three tries to just get any text on the screen after booting... not because of the code, but because of my own lack of knowledge and patience in configuring the kernel. That doesn't necessarily mean it's versatile, but it does mean that there's a huge amount of configuration options...) Proud proponent of iruka-ai everywhere

STill.... ALL HAIL LINUX!1 Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

[Ari Rahikkala]

* ari shakes his head disapprovingly *No... I guess you just can't understand it. The power is not outside you, it is not a figurehead you're supposed to - er even able to - hail or bow before. When you have the source, you have the power. You are the one that's all-powerful. It is the understanding of this power, and the skill to wield and harness it, that you should strive for. Worshipping won't gain you anyone's acceptance... nor any power. Go forth, study and learn, and hack, and you will see your might accumulating. Maybe one day it will surpass that of the great net.gods. Proud proponent of iruka-ai everywhere

[Kaiser Raynor X]

All hail the Kernal? Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth

[Ari Rahikkala]

No...ALL HAIL THE HACKER! It's simple as that. You may appreciate some software for elegance, stability, usefulness, etc. but the party you should hail and thank for it is not the software itself but those who wrote it. Proud proponent of iruka-ai everywhere

[Kaiser Raynor X]

All hail the guy who first made the Linux Kernal? Raynor M'JiliadKaiser of Shireroth
