Want Ububtu without the hassle?

Wow, I wanted the new 9.04 Ubuntu (Linux) thats coming out, so I grabbed the "Release Candidate" and of course as every other time I tried to install Linux for most part I had bad luck. I have now two, Linux coasters if someone is interested! lol... anyway knew there would be a way. So I looked around a bit and found WUBI (http://wubi-installer.org/) and nice! It removes the hassle of installing linux and doing all the partitioning. Its easy to uninstall if you change your mind later.

Now I have a great new copy of Ubuntu on my laptop! I love the open source goodness of Linux so I am excited. :D I haven't even really had to pop open the console, just once to set my Root pw info,but everythings running smooth without so far, now once I learn that I'll be good.

So if you ever wanted a easy way to get Linux to work or try it go check out - http://wubi-installer.org/

Testla model S!

Nice! Good to see new Tesla information coming out!

Tesla says the Model S will get about 240 miles per charge [on lithium-ion batteries] while still offering "exceptional performance." Numbers being bandied about include 0–60 mph in less than 6 seconds. The Model S will have a base price of about $60,000 (versus the Roadster's $109,000 price tag).


Check out Engadget for some pics. - http://www.engadget.com/photos/tesla-model-s-official-shots-unofficially-unveiled/1454577/

Happy Presidents Day!

"Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica." - Abraham Lincoln (from a letter written by Lincoln during his presidency to the head of the Hohner Harmonica Company in Germany)

"Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country." - Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President

"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere." - George Washington, U.S. President

"We shall, by and by, want a world of hemp more for our own consumption." - John Adams, U.S. President

"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana." - Jimmy Carter, U.S. President

"I inhaled frequently. That was the point." - Barack Obama, U.S. President

Woah this would help!

With Amaya, you can manipulate rich Web pages containing forms, tables, and the most advanced features from XHTML. You can create and edit complex mathematical expressions and graphics within Web pages. You can style your documents using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).



And its by the W3 so its all going to me correct valid code and I found a CSS editor, but that's all it was! Awesome!

Mother 3 Translation!

Wow... Mother 3 translation coming this week! happy

I wish I had a slot-2 card for my NDS card, so I didn't have to play on my laptop. frown

People who are lost far as japan, Mother 3 is the continuation of the American "Earthbound" game by Nintendo. One of the best games ever.

I guess pmsbuddy.com is here to help. ;D Can track like 5 women, then set it to remind you before Aunt Ruby arrives so you can be aware... get that extra stuff done, or be warned before you get a new one ripped.

Could be helpful... lol

Mega Man 9 Release - Console War Update.

Wow... In case someone didn't notice, Megan Man 9 is now out for the big 3.

I originally lost info on it and thought it would only be a Wii release. Then I was excited to see it come for 360 and PS3 on Wednesday.

I am really excited to see it, haven't ended up getting it yet, but its on that list.

Wii had brought us Super Mario RPG too, so its still in the running. I worry though how it will fare this fall... whats exciting coming to it? Better motion control?

Being 'hardcore' these days I am more looking for upcoming such as Gears of War II (so much it validates another $50 a year), Resistance II, and others. Also looking forward to Little Big Planet which is for my hardcore physics and design side! :D

Anyways its good to see Megaman 9 come out, but sadly would rather play it on PS3 so its loosing its grip on the console war. Its still my #2 choice.
