    Tweaking Mint 18.3 themes and settings

    Weyell, Win7's Aero undoubtedly comes with plenty of processor overhead. Does Mr, Mrs, Ms CPU need the extra work purely for eye-candy? And it's MS, so why do I think it can be good? Shame upon me! Linux all the way!

    Tweaking Mint 18.3 themes and settings

    TBH, Mint Cinnamon's emulation of Aero is pretty lame. At least in my version of Mint. But it's a small sacrifice to be rid of Win!!

    Bob Muller and the Evil hosts

    Trump and Treason? Surely not in the same phrase or sentence! I wish, I wish the Democratic Central Committee actually stood for what used to be Democratic values. Not a chance, they worship money like the rest of the creatures in WA, DC. No one is perfect, but I like Florida's erstwhile...

    Linux/HPEnvy/Ryzen5 - formerly AMD vs nVidia... again

    But Gnome? Someone mentioned it as a usable desktop? Mein Gott in Himmel, das is nicht gut! Think Cinnamon is light years better. imho.

    Bob Muller and the Evil hosts

    If only it was that easy and simple. Trump's election was brought about by self-serving Democratic Presidents as much as by the electorate. Yes, Hillary won by 2 million popular votes, I don't think the Electoral College serves the people at large very well. At the same time it's within the...

    Bob Muller and the Evil hosts

    Hate boils over for some people. It would be nice if buying guns was much more difficult for people who shouldn't have them. Too many of us worship money above people in real life. Ergo "sell, sell, sell!" Sell that gun.

    New CPU

    Fan 2 678,000 rpm. Wowsa, hope your rig is FIRMLY bolted down to a substantial object. Like an RV maybe. Shocked that it hasn't flown to Mars by now. 62C for your GPU? You kids just have to beat the heck out of your gear nowadays. Why back when Hector was a pup, yadda.

    Real fixes for Spectre and Meltdown?

    New CPU

    Growl hidden under bleat? Such a secret agent you are. PorPorMe is a great person to have on our board, even if he is somewhat sacrilegious. I don't know how in heck he runs Win7 without it being "taken to a better place" ie Win10(Booo!) by you know who(Booo!). Well done good sir. Oops, Linux...

    Real fixes for Spectre and Meltdown?

    Perhaps we are being too hard on Intel. B-B-but it's a huge corporation, always demanding of our scrutiny and ripe for condemnation at all times. But seriously, I think Mister Gummint told them to put the security flaws in their processors. And being good corporate citizens(of the rich, by the...

    Und so very good for you. My doc half jokingly told me to eat potato chips. Back when my low sodium level was inexplicably interfering with needed surgery. "I have three kinds" I told her. Don't know what changed my sodium back to normal. I bought surprisingly expensive salt tablets just in...

    Lenovo IdeaPad isn't a good idea

    Oh I wish I could "wish upon a star" but for some ugly and unfair (get used to it cloasters!) reason both of my feet are mired in clay. All y'all SHOULDN'T be so lucky. I truly envy your "serenity" for lack of a better word, Dan. Thank you so VERY much for founding first AOA, and recently-ish GOL.

    Its My Birthday!

    No, no, no. Can't see a thing from the back seat. And losing the easiness of seeing almost everything from the front seat of an SUV? The shame, a gas guzzling SUV not to mention smog producing non-thinking man's car. Guilty! At least it's not a Mercedes--which would have been junked five years...

    B-B-But Belgian Fries are correct, they invented them. The French aren't to blame. Sure glad that the ultra-patriotic Americans on Capital Hill changed the name "French Fries" to PATRIOT fries for their cafeteria. Had better sleep after they did that. Then they named 'em French Fries again...
