pintac While growing up, I hated it and hated seeing my father devour the stuff; I just didn't get it. But now that I'm older and have a more sophisticated palate, I can't get enough of blue cheese; LOOVVEE it. I got a question, though; sometimes, I would have some...

pintac I'm using Debian--the less pretty Ubuntu; basically the same as Ubuntu since it's based on Debian. I couldn't get Ubuntu to install properly on my older machine; I think the driver for my graphics card was causing problems. In cany case, I got Debian installed...

pintac I agree that it helps to have another working machine close by so that you can quickly and easily look up solutions to get through the initial install and configurations. Otherwise, you'd end up doing a lot of rebooting with the dual boot method.

pintac I wouldn't say either one is more adorable than the other given that one can get all kinds of skins to customize the desktop--either linux or windows. I think the mac has the fanciest looking O/S. I'm a Windows XP user, by the way; so this is an objective...

pintac Sorry to hear about your injury. I usually run about 3 miles (please excuse my American adherence to the old English system; I'll leave the metric conversion up to you ;) ) each workout; I'm usually a lot more active during the summer. Currently, I...

pintac You're right. It's just a mind game. It's really easy to tell yourself you can't make it and just quit. But if you keep pushing yourself, you can make it to the end--no matter how far off your goal is for the workout. :-)

pintac Yes, music helps a lot. Funny talk radio helps pass the time as well; but be careful not to laugh too hard. Once I nearly took a terrible tumble because I was so caught up in laughing at some funny bit on the Howard Stern show that I almost forgot I was on the...

Will the current popular hybrid cars like the Prius help save our environment? What other solutions will help preserver our scarce resources?

pintac You may be right about the hybrid vehicles. But the public transportation may only make sense in densely populated city areas. Interestingly, I just saw the documentary film, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" It's disheartening to see big business moth ball a...

"Frak!" "Frak you!" "This is frakked up!" On the TV show "Battlestar Galactica," the writers use "frak" in place of real profane words. I believe they do this to get around censorship issues (with the FCC?), much like on myLot...

pintac The current season is getting interesting. I like it when they put in other superheros. The new Green Arrow character is pretty cool. They did a good job with this character; looks really authentic.

pintac Some classes at my daughter's school have each student bring in a flower or two from their own backyards or gardens and then assemble a bouquet for the teacher. I find this a very refreshing, thoughtful, and FREE way to show some appreciation for the teacher.
