I still have a geocities email account, from 95ish or so, I tied it into my yahoo account whenever they first allowed that. Sure I only ever receive spam on it, but there is a part of me that would be sad to lose my oldest remaining email address (my first aol account has long since passed away).

Ditto that. I'm using UNR on my Dell Mini 9 and it is a pleasant to look at black theme. Works rather well. I'm using 8.10 though not 8.04.

It is just you that is having this problem. The first thing I did after installing Windows 7 was launch IE and download Firefox. I've been running FF with 0 issues since.

They seem to be available on Youtube. When I was working IT in college my last supervisor would watch these soaps on youtube between calls.

As someone who has taken the same position as your friend I'm not going to simply "shut up" like you demand. Asking me to simply shut up so people can revel in idiotic naivety is ridiculous. I don't see why I'm being criticized for not being a blind sheep like everyone else. Political zealots are all the same, no matter which cult of personality they are following.

I'm trying to remember my verizon set up. I know I couldn't get it to work with OS X and had to reboot my MBP into Windows XP to get the modem to work right. Although IIRC this might have just been me trying to make the modem work before they actually got my service up and running. My modem isn't currently connected to any PC directly, just a router. Aside from that I use my Dell Mini 9 with Ubuntu 8.10 and Netbook Remix just fine with my Verizon service.

Game pipe is still a mess and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except as a minor. I can only imagine how bad the full degree is. I majored in CS and took ITP 280, 380 and 485. I also took the big game project course 499 or whatever the number is. As long as they have Victor Lacour "teaching" it the class will be a joke. Game engines was the only class that really proved relevant in my job search and interview process. Everything else I needed to know came from standard CS and EE courses.
