Dean replied to Luke Hebblethwaite's discussion 'I need help asap my pc won't start'

It also could be a cooling problem. Sometimes it doesn't have a problem idling in the bios and then when it goes about booting up, its a huge load on the machine. Live CDs are usually pretty slow to access the data that'd be creating most of that ...

How does it go if you pull out the RAM and put it back in, or use differant RAM if you have it? Also, how does it go if you boot using a Linux live CD?

Dean commented on Johannes S.'s blog post 'The single most useless app in the whole App Store.'

I haven't seen godaddy or been to the website, but surely it can't be better than the fart noise apps.

Dean replied to Alex Fuentes (asasin)'s discussion 'All-time favorite Metallica song or album?' in the group Metallica

Its easier to list which songs I don't still like on Ride The Lightning, Kill Em All, Master Of Puppets, Garage Days Revisited, and And Justice for all... and then list which songs I do like from anything realeased after And Justice for All. It'd...

Dean replied to Tyler Chess's discussion 'mac users'

That's accurate on my Apple hardware (what's the better way to refer to "Apple hardware" when they don't make it?), is that there was a lag (and probably still is) between the release and software updates outside of Apple. I did have some annoyanc...

Dean commented on jkls's blog post 'Do You Think Email Will Phase Out?'

I check my email first thing when I first get on the computer. I sometimes don't look at facebook for weeks and have more than once had someone message me there but didn't know until days later. Its their fault for using facebook like that though....

Where did you get the theme? I'd like to have the window borders.

Dean commented on Eric Fox's blog post 'The Fantasy of Privacy'

You don't generally know who has a gun in the US though, unless you ask people. I was sitting with some friends once, and learned that one of them carried a gun when another one asked to see it. The guy replied "If you ever see my gun, it will be ...

LOL ... yeah... He called that guy on the MTV awards a jackass! Loved it! I'm not sure it was qualifying for an award, but it was funny.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Now that I am grown up, I'm focusing on doing less of what I don't like but previously felt obligated to. I'm currently a househusband, father and get a disability pension.

What is the thing in life you treasure most?

My Daughter.

What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?

Recompiled an enitre Ubuntu install editing every debian/rules file for my own uber-ized -mawesome -fomg-optimized compiler flags.

What do you do to entertain yourself?

Mostly I'm a mouse potato, but I enjoy at least half of the things my wife drags me to as well.

Favorite music, movies, books, shows, artists, games, people, events, hobbies, etc.?

The Fifth Element gets an honorable mention for a movie from me, since not everyone realizes that you have to watch it 5 times before the overall cool of the project really sets in and hits you.
I don't have favorite books anymore. Used to when I was a kid, same with music... all I can say there is that hip hop escapes me and its pretty rare that its not annoying.
My biggest hobby has been sitting behind computers and learning new things. When I was a kid I dreamed of working as a programmer when I had an NES. I got involved with drugs and that ship had sailed by the time I got through it so most of what I've ended up learning are superficial things without any potential for profit, for example I never learned HTML but I script bash as well as the next guy... better than most I guess.
I haven't liked console games for some time, since around the end of the NES era and going into the Sega era... until the Wii came along which I do like though don't own one yet.
As for people, and in particular geeks, although the guy is a political extremist so I can't really claim to agree with all of his personal causes or the attitudes that are portrayed to us, true or not, I see Richard Stallman as the father of all things good, that have lasted. I don't know if the guy is really a nut or not as a person, but I do feel he isn't credited enough, so he deserves the mention I just made.
