PCWorld gave the Crucial BX200 a scathing review: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3000913/storage/crucial-bx200-ssd-review-good-for-casual-users-but-not-for-slinging-extra-large-files.html
Effective immediately, I'm going to be making major changes aimed at addressing self-control issues that have repeatedly cropped in this chat room. My focus will be on being a calm and stoic person at all times, never losing control of myself, so that I can always act in a constructive and controlled manner even under the difficult conditions. I will not let anything like this happen again.
While there are still issues to be addressed, I am honestly amazed to see how far I've come.
Okay, kinda got distracted. Downloading Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 LTS...

Onto another topic: I'm seeing a lot of recommendations against giving kids Werther's Original hard candies for Halloween; is it really that bad? I personally go through them dozens at a time the few times I have a bag of these candies to myself.
However, I'm not sure if my mom will like my ordering more than 4 lbs of candy like this, even at this price...
I guess I'll order when my current batch is exhausted.
It's just not worth spending so much money at the drugstore when a better deal can be had online.
I'm going to try to cut back a bit.
I'm probably not the only one addicted to Werther's Original...
It takes me three days or less to go through a 5.5 oz bag (the usual retail size).
A trash bag full of candy wrappers is not going to amuse Mother.
First time I'm working with the Ubuntu text-mode partition editor. It's rather simplistic and nowhere near as good as YaST's partitioner but seems to have all the options I expect.
I have to manually configure the UEFI System Partition :\
I like how the installer gives me a red background on an error :P
(GIMP color picker says it's #762671, which is probably as close as technically possible in a text-mode environment to the #772953 specified for Canonical aubergine)
...the EFI System Partition is too small. Reconfiguring...
Ubuntu claims it needs to be at least 35 MB but that's likely not enough.
While core gamers likely account for a disproportionate amount of revenue in the industry, the majority of revenue still comes from casual gamers, primarily in the form of microtransactions.
While the number of gamers spending more than a few dollars on microtransactions is quite small, they tend to be willing to spend far, far more than a typical core gamer would.

> As mentioned in our Pug FAQ’s section, Pugs shed a lot. In fact, they shed more than a lot. They shed tons. If you read or hear anything to the contrary, you’re either getting misinformation, or the input of someone whose Pug is a rare exception to the norm. If you get a Pug, you’ll have fur all over the place. On every piece of furniture, on all your clothes and in your car. You don’t even have to put your Pug in the car, the fur will just be there…and everywhere else. If this is at all a concern to you, don’t get a Pug.
This is the closest I've ever come to falling for a Gmail phishing attack. If it hadn't been for my high-DPI screen… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/812265182646927361
The ISP I work at is setting up an internal IPv6 network in preparation for eventually connecting to the IPv6 internet. As a result, several of the servers in this network now try to connect to security.debian.org via its IPv6 address by default when running apt-get update, and that results in ha...
The apt-get upgrade command will normally only install updates (or fixes) to currently installed packages. Typically a new release of Mozilla Firefox, for instance, would be installed with this command.
However apt-get upgrade will NOT generally install new releases, where major changes (includi...
shrug
When I was a young pup, I didn't have a clue how package management worked, and had no one to ask ;p
You'll work it out
I'm a bit slow since I've been running RH derivatives more
@djsmiley2k Gentoo is way too much work for me. I've managed to complete a Gentoo base system installation in a Hyper-V environment but building from source pushed this laptop to its limits :\
