    does life happen to you? or do you happen to life?

    I grew up with a sort of similar bit advice from my great grandmother, an old Geordie woman who'd had a hard life and was as tough as old boots. "If you don't like something, change it. And if you can't change it there's no point whingeing to me about it." I very much doubt she got that from...

    does life happen to you? or do you happen to life?

    I learned not to be a victim when I was still fairly young, not to people and not to the world itself. Sometimes life dishes up some pretty hard knocks but I roll with the punches and keep going. Sometimes beaten physically but never mentally.

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    This is usually the biggest difference between different distros, what they've got available in their repositories and how up to date their systems are. A tool I find much more useful than the modern graphical apps is Synaptic Package Manager. In there you get to see every package available in...

    Japanese domestic market AM radio

    You do still get rulers with both scales on them here but they're not as common as they used to be. We went metric more than 50 years ago and many of the younger generations only have a very vague idea of what an inch is.

    Why do so many aspies have an intense hatred for sports (excepting martial arts and brainy games)?

    I was 20 years old before I ever saw snow but I tried skiing and loved it. Ended up destroying a knee but no regrets, it was worth it. You only get to live once. I was very active when I was young, not that you'd know it these days, but always individual pursuits. Swimming, surfing, skiing...

    To me it's just as fascinating seeing a ruler with inches on it. :)

    Does your physical appearance match your inner view of yourself?

    When I was young my looks were an asset that I managed quite carefully most of the time. As I aged my looks diminished but so too did my ability to care about that. No, I never felt uncomfortable seeing myself in the mirror and I still don't.

    Post something Weird or Random

    Colloquially a small aluminium boat here is known as a Tinny, deliberately the same slang term we use for a can of beer. The two often go together hand in hand. :) I imagine that course changes every year too because rivers never sit still, what's navigable one year might not be the next. The...

    A group of us put together a Ten Pin Bowling team like that one year. Getting a trophy at the end of the year for Most Improved didn't make us feel terribly proud. :)

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    Linux does take a little bit of getting used to and you're bound to come across a few niggly little issues here and there but I think overall you'll be happy with your new system. And when it comes to issues with particular games the Linux community in the Steam Forums is also a valuable resource.

    Thought Provoking Question

    Also, there's Anime and then there's Anime. The origins of that art style aren't a pleasant story. There was a whole generation of them, little Japanese girls with big sad American eyes, ostracised by mainstream society and left to fend for themselves while their unmarried mothers worked six...

    You seem to be making sense of it very well for a first time user. Congratulations on a job well done.

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    I haven't witnessed the problem myself but I don't use Steam or any other platform of that type because I never play online. So I've just got the Gog versions of games installed directly in wine, and so far all of those have their own cursors.

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    Go into System Settings in your Programs menu and check the mouse settings in there. You can change the size or even the style of your mouse along with a whole host of other settings.

    Far North Queensland calling... ?

    I know there's a couple of Queenslanders but I'm not sure about the far north. Personally I think facebook is a very bad choice for these sorts of groups anyway. The way they are crosslinked to so much other social media just makes it far too public and attracts the wrong sort of attention...

    Windows

    For me it was Tomb Raider and Age of Empires and lots of other games from that time. The transition from a fat32 filesystem to NTFS mucked up a lot of people's games for a while. That's why these days you now need an emulator for so many older games, so many things changed at that time including...

    Windows

    So were mine. It was a trip and a half sitting there installing all of that again and reading through all the different messages that pop up. You'll probably do the same as I did, try installing without dos and discovering that it doesn't work.

    Windows

    I didn't have any either and had to download a set, that's how I remember that yes, they were needed back in the day as well. Win98 was still just an addon program that ran under dos the same as win3.11 did.
