    Only in Thailand

    Wouldn't it be great if we demanded that fluoride be removed from Seattle's water supply? A change that every knowledgeable person would applaud. It doesn't help people's teeth in the long run and according to some histories was first introduced to concentration camp water by the Nazis. Were...

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    By golly, I do believe that I can patiently wait for Mint 17.3 to update itself. Wonder why "18" sounds like so much more than "17.3?" After taking Circumin for more than a year my memory has really improved. It's just possible that saying goodbye to all illegal drugs and alcohol more than 25...

    Only in Thailand

    Climate change doesn't seem to benefit anyone. Last summer our nearby Rain Forest (temperate zone rain forests are very rare) burned like crazy. So drought has caught up with us. Very unsettling in the land of 'it used to rain all the dang time.' Seattle's tap water still tastes very good. No...

    I'd be shocked if booman reported anything less than the truth. He's a sterling fellow! Forsooth Daniel!

    Only in Thailand

    "Missing in the explanation?" Seems that truthful reporting is a very rare occurrence 'round here. And from the other side of the world? The Shadow knows? If only heaven forfend Flint has a lead problem in their water supply. I keep seeing that more than a few American municipalities have...

    No debt other than a nearly paid off car. Having that kind of self discipline is admirable! The last real job I had was with a medical electronics manufacturer in northern California. Even though the pay was meager going out to lunch nearly every work day sort of made my day. It's not easy being...

    Only in Thailand

    A pedestrian walkway over a busy road is most civilized. It's good to see that people's safety is important in Thailand. The electrical service is shown to be not as concerned as it should have been. Glad that saving face saved the day!

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    Hmm, so Arch Linux is an up to date version of Slackware, so to speak? Thank you for the information, I'll be sure to stay miles away from it! I saw that games under Win tend to run faster than with Linux. This says that Linux gamers are determined folks that demand freedom from the beast of...

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    While installing Mint I needed to find so many drivers... Not even! I needed only to search for one, that's 1, one driver. One! What a mind blaster that was! One Nvidia Linux driver. And it installed like a dream! That's why Slackware is so kewel. Horsefeathers, squared! Never had the courage...

    Yeah, but... Don't most kids really dislike any Richie Rich's they may come across? Not that I knew more than a threadbare handful over the years. I remember them as insufferable, except for one. The exception that proved the rule? That expression never made sense to me. You go booman, you...

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    booman, you are a fantastic helper of "millions" of folks in Linux! By 2004 I threw in the towel with the mighty "L," and succumbed to the sirens of We Know Who. Thanks to your amazing and unending generous help here at GamersOnLinux many, many folks have had a MUCH easier time in Linux. Thank...

    Updating Nvidia Drivers - Mint

    I settled on SuSE back in about 2001. When there was still only one SuSE. Pretty sure that I couldn't install it by myself now. And there wasn't any help from the folks on AOA, iirc. The only handbook available was "Unix for Dummies," no Linux for Idiots existed. I played with Linux for maybe 3...

    Jr High. Come to remember it, I spent one year in a normal Jr High, now known as Middle School. It was great, liked it a lot, first GF. The prior three years were spent in Catholic schools, boarding and parochial. Wonder if my disbelief in many things Christian sprang from those paradises? Naw...
