OT: Upgraded my OS today (but not Vista)

  • Thread starter Thread starter Stephan Rose

Everyone cares who is intelligent and is interested in computers.
If you are a vista drone then try my prescription of detaching yourself
from the "grid" for 10 minutes 3 times a day. Perhaps if you start seeing
the real world you might like it.
 
In Massachusetts lunch is dinner, and dinner is supper. We are like
those North Englanders. Between dinner and supper, I almost completed my
taxes, using Windows XP in Vmware. I didn't have to leave my cozy
Pclinuxos, and when I got bored with Windows, I just danced through my
linux desktops. I had wondered if I needed to dual boot any more with
Windows XP and today I got my answer. Turbotax works just fine in a
virtual machine running Windows XP. I still haven't checked out the
games, but for me, I don't need those type of capabilities. I am
listening to my music, chatting on xchat, browsing with three browsers,
trolling with pan, downloading my email, and of course letting windows xp
run in its own little window...I still have three desktops that are
empty, maybe I will watch something later on one of those. Even with all
of these things happening simultaneously, I notice no slow down, no
errors, no crashes...It is weird to have a movie playing on XP and
another playing on linux. It is almost like switching channels...lol. I
guess I will have to push linux a little harder to see if I can make it
run slower or crash.

It is just another day without Vista, a nice and peaceful day.
 
Don't put yourself down by saying "backwoods". All Kentuckians are not
backwoods.
And if Supper is in the Bible as the last meal, that's good enough for me.
I consider lunch/dinner to be the same. Many years ago when people ate their
meal while at work, they said they were taking their dinner break. Things
change over the years and evolve into different meanings.

Awesome! I have a 2002 Honda Shadow VLX Deluxe decked out in lots of

Atlanta and St Louis, don't count as Georgia and Missouri.

You have to travel to a place more like Dublin, GA or Popular Bluff, Mo, now
there is some good ol country folk

What about them and why don't they count? Are you assuming that's where I
lived/worked
 
Because that's like saying people in Louisville, are the same as the people
in backwoods KY. if you have running water in the house, Schools with more
than 1 room and never felt the warm embrace of a farm animal, it doesn't
count.

Yes, I'm guessing that you lived in one of the industrial areas of GA and
MO. Again, if a cow bell doesn't bring back fond memories, you were not in
the right part of the state.
 
I'm not putting myself down. I found the northerners will do that for me. I
reference backwoods KY, because it's a small town of 20,000. But whenever I
say I'm from KY, people normally assume it's Louisville or Lexington,
because I walk upright, don't own a gun, and drink Starbucks

1. No it's not. I simply mentioned the states I've lived in and never
noticed your claim.
2. Regardless of that your comment was, "Though it's normally the
southerners (and mid westeners)".

Your blanket statement doesn't seem to work for everyone.
never felt the warm embrace of a farm animal, it doesn't count.

You guessed wrong.

1. Again?
2. The "right part" of the state? As opposed to parts of a state being
wrong?
3. Nope, no cows at either Fort Leonard Wood or Fort Gordon.
 
Whew, sometimes you just over analyze things. If you didn't get the joke
about Farm Animals, then you were not around the right people. Though it's
hard to believe you've never heard the stereotypes about country boys and
farm animals

Though the Army is full of good ol country boys, I don't know that Military
bases really count as being in the Rural part of those states. (as they
called it Cream beef and toast, and I grew up calling it gravy, or sausage
gravy) Maybe I should have said "Rural Southern states". I myself have been
to the northeast a fair amount, and never heard them say Dinner for Lunch or
Supper for Dinner" I have been to little places like Big Spring, Texas,
Muskogee, OK and Co-worker from somewhere in West Kansas and quite a few say
"Supper" for dinner. Most of us, who've been out of the sticks for a while,
have switched to lunch, mostly because the proper English people just get
all worked up when we say Dinner for Lunch, much like those same people get
worked up for the words "ain't", "Fixin'" and "Reckon". I had an amusing
conversation with guys in Boston once, over the what's the difference
between, "Y'all", "All Yall" and "You All"

My Statement was you normally, Not a You always. Much like the original guy
said, it's generally the Northern Englanders say Supper for Dinner. I'm sure
that doesn't apply to100% of them, I'd give you five to one odds, if you
hear someone say Dinner for Lunch or supper for dinner, they are going to be
from the south or Mid west, Probably over 35 and from the rural parts of the
state (cause those are the areas where education is top priority) .

I'm not the only one who thinks like this, check out some of the answers in
