You're evil.

I'm playing with my NetworkManager enabled Salix OS. I'm just happy with Salix. It's turning my work-top into a tinker-toy.

Swearing at Golden Virginia. My sister brought back some duty-free from Belgium, and there's lumps of unshredded leaf scattered through it. Bloody nuisance.

@ brianL - Is that better or worse than getting a mouthful of bones in your fish and chips? Does that come with mushy peas in Oldham? I told you never to trust them Belgians - they think they rule the EU - and look where that has gotten us!

Well, it's certainly not as dangerous as fishbones, but it's annoying. Yes, you can have mushy peas with your fish & chips. Partly shredded tobacco might be the Belgians' way of getting back at us for "In Bruges".

It's you that's doing it, is it? You should be ashamed of yourself!

Having problems? How did you try to install X? pacman -S xorg?

Unrelated: Links has a useragent string?

Okay, have you been following the wiki's guide on setting up X.org? Where does it fail for you?

I personally had no problems following that guide when I first set up my Arch machine...

(You can start a new thread on this if you want, if you haven't already.)

Drinking coffee. Debating sleeping..

Being amazed at google.ca's significant mass of remarkably similar results, with similar ridiculousness, and even with some of the same usernames (!!) involved, as our very own trusty, freshly re-animated-of-late MegaSuperThread. Oh great LQ MegaSuperThread, you are not alone in your suffering.

I would think those two would cancel each other out.

Yes, that's the conundrum & conflict of it. The coffee may help settle the debate, but maybe not. I don't like going to sleep when I'm bored-- too boring --and I'm a little bored already..
