microsoft outlook email and ubuntu - how do i transfer?? Posted: 5/26/2009 1:55:15 AM
*Disclaimer: have not actually tried this!* One solution that was tossed around on a Mandriva forum is: Install the Windows Thunderbird on your Windows partition Use the Win Thunderbird to import your outlook gear Boot up your Linux Thunderbird and import the settings from the Win Thunderbird Apparently it has worked well for others

Ubuntu and music Posted: 5/23/2009 8:43:28 PM
I use Amarok for music, love it. And you can do drag and drop CD burns from within the program easily (although I prefer K3B for that). Kaffeine is also a great media player, more for video and DVDs etc. The standard 'Media Player' is usually Totem, which is very sparse. Try a few others (Amarok, Kaffeine, VLC, gxine, etc) and see if they suit your needs better.

Mozilla Firefox? Posted: 5/10/2009 4:35:06 AM
If you are running Vista, you'll need at least 1GB of RAM. Running greedy security software like Norton will eat up more resources. 2GB is a good minimum for a true useable Vista computer. If you are having trouble with Firefox, try increasing the cache file. Go to Edit - Preferences - Advanced - Network and increase the cache space to 50-100MB. And install the Ad-Block Plus plug-in! It cuts back a lot of crap downloads, freeing up local and network resources. If you notice a slowdown fter visiting certain sites, clear your cache and cookies using the option in 'Tools'.

Best Free Applications/Software??? Posted: 5/10/2009 4:25:19 AM
As a Linux user I regularly partake of the obvious - Open Office, VLC player, GIMP, etc. There is a fantastic 3D editor program called Blender: www.blender.org Think Maya etc but FREE, cross platform (Lin, Win and Mac) and open source. Love it. LMMS is a great music player similar to Fruity Loops etc... It's a Linux only one though. FYI, Sourceforge.org is a great place to find useful free software - real free software, not the shareware/trial crap that litters a lot of 'freebie' sites like Tucows.

opinion please-do guys expect ya to put out Posted: 5/9/2009 11:50:58 PM
Sure, there are a lot of guys like that... but one reason a guy likes to buy you a meal or take you someplace nice is because he likes you... and for that reason he is also interested in you sexually? Some guys might put the cart before the horse, but not all do... thats why its worth getting to know them first, making sure you feel comfortable

Should I take up Smoking at Work so I can get lots of Breaks too ? Posted: 5/9/2009 2:19:02 AM
I can see why this pisses you off... it is a form of discrimination. I'm not sure how your line of work goes :D but my boss and some colleagues are smokers. During our fag breaks out the back we usually talk through whatever tech issues (or personnel issues!) we are working through - a lot of our breakthroughs and smart decisions have come from that 5-10 minute break away from the desk. So IMAO using a smoko to slack off makes you lazy, not being a smoker...

PLAYERS - UNDERSTOOD Posted: 5/2/2009 4:53:45 PM
Hmmm, I asked a question like this a little while back and got blasted lol. But IMAO, a player is a liar - who says they love you and that you are the only one and don't mean it. If you're with someone and you aren't sure of your feelings, you can say thats how you feel or say nothing. Anything else, yeah that probably makes you a player. Methinks.

IMPORTANT --> Spyware - Popups, Homepage Changing Posted: 4/11/2009 8:44:34 PM
Linux users such as myself tend to get very smug when reading these sorts of forums... but there are things we can do to be more secure too. I have my /home directory in a separate partition on my main PC... if the system goes down, I just format and reinstall without loosing any /home data. If /home goes down, I have it backed up, and I don't have to reinstall the system. ALL computers connected to the net should have an active firewall. The one with openSUSE seems to be pretty good, but that may just be aesthetics talking. Novell really know how to make things feel more secure. Apt-get means you almost never need to run a random program off the internet. Its essentially what the app store is providing for the Mac - a centralised location for software that brings a greater level of security and simplicity to installation. Flash is still the bane of internet existence. Running AdBlock Plus and NoScript on Firefox are a good start. using Gnash over the Adobe plug-ins WILL break some sites, but it's open-source and allows for a higher moral ground :) Telling someone 'Use Mac' or 'Use Linux' does not instantly give them the knowledge they need to be more secure online. It doesn't matter what OS you are running, sending your bank details to the nice god-fearing Nigerian in the email is going to leave you in the poo. When enough idiots come over to Linux, we'll get enough malware to exploit them :)

Check me out! (I'm a dude) Posted: 4/11/2009 6:47:38 PM
Seems pretty good all up. It does come across as a bit vain though - and I'd definitely lose the 'Traits in order of importance"... thats just weird :P

Work Flirt Posted: 3/20/2009 11:21:55 PM
Does he behave this way just with you, or is he one of those types that is generally a bit flirty/cheeky? I enjoy a bit of banter with my co-workers, thats the sort of guy I am :) But I know when to back off, which is when it becomes something more than harmless banter. Workplace romance is complicated... I've seen the fallout of one recently and it was pretty nasty. Thats not to say he isn't interested, he's probably just looking at the situation as a whole and making sure he does the best thing for everyone.

Player? Posted: 3/8/2009 4:58:02 AM
Not how it happened Jim - we basically didn't do a lot of talking... I leave telling her that I probably won't call but she can call me if she wants... (she doesn't)... then she bumps into me at a club where I'm trying to chat someone up and kind of unloads at me....... as I said, ***hole, definitely... I'm more just curious as to what people think it means to be a player, it kinda threw me :P

Player? Posted: 3/8/2009 4:37:25 AM
Well I'm probably going to throw my popularity to the wind here... I got called a 'Player' this weekend, which I found little bit insulting to be honest. By my definition and understanding, a Player is someone who pathologically lies to get what he wants sexually. He's the one who lies when he says 'I love you', when he says 'you're the only one for me', when he says 'I'll call you tomorrow'. I tend to be pretty up-front and honest about where things stand... which means if you ask me if its a one-night thing I'll say 'yep!' Maybe that makes me an arsehole, but a player? I don't know. I made some sort of perfunctory come-back that probably would have sounded clever had I not been five shots deep. So what would you define as a player? Is it the sweet-talking liar? Or just the new word for a guy-slut?'

Why does he keep teasing? Posted: 3/2/2009 1:33:00 AM
What's so wrong with a guy who likes to take things slow? many of us (myself included) don't like to rush into a relationship, even if we like where its going... Does he have a lot of other interests and commitments? It sounds like he likes you,but has a life outside as well and likes to maintain balance and perspective. Thats the kind of guy to stick with IMAO, but I could be wrong :P

Lets Hear it for the Mistresses !!! Posted: 3/1/2009 1:08:19 AM
I think what this law indicates (or certainly the debate surrounding it) is that we need to have a legally binding document that clearly defines the terms of marriage by todays standards - something other than the conservative and gender-biased religious institution. If people had a form of legally binding 'marriage', it would do away with the crap that is 'defacto' relationships. The way I see it a defacto relationship is a trial period, and unless that involves a legal declaration of intent there is no financial obligation for support if the relationship falls through. You don't commit financially unless you are prepared to commit legally, thats just common sense!!! Perhaps if the government gets involved with tightening up the 'civil union' into something practical, then we can get a realistic modern system to ensure everyone gets what they deserve.

Lets Hear it for the Mistresses !!! Posted: 2/28/2009 9:03:15 PM
The difference between marriage and a de facto relationship is that the married partners have chosen to make a legal commitment to echother. Both partners in a defacto relationship have the choice of leaving should their partner be unwilling to legally define the relationship. Its a cheap and messy way to give rights to gay couples... at the end of the day it ends up encouraging BIGAMY by giving it legal grounds (an individual can be in two simultaneous legally binding sexual relationships).. I think the only way to sensibly approach this issue is to get away from the concept of marriage as a religious ceremony and view it as a social ceremony and legal contract - if there was less religious interference in relationships I think the world would be a much better place!

BaneMC is back in the game, and taking notes :P Posted: 2/8/2009 6:17:55 AM
Thanks crimson... I've made some tweaks :) I try to be a bit creative and raandom in life -- but not sure if that is what girls are looking for on a site like this? It always seems the 'generic' guys go home happy :O I was thinking of starting over and keeping it simple?

Hi, I'm Bane I've been on this site for a while and haven't had much success with it... it seems great though, so maybe its me? What I have been looking for has changed as I drifted in and out of relationships. At the moment I'm single again and looking more for genuine romance than friends/one-nighters. This probably calls for a profile re-write!!! But it would be great to have some feedback and ideas from those people who have made this site work for them?

Hangover Cures!!! Posted: 1/28/2009 10:22:43 PM
Me, I drink a bottle of Gatorade or similar energy drink when I wake up. It rehydrates and helps clear the crap out. NO COFFEE though! That just makes it worse! That headache is from a lack of sleep and lack of water...

bucks nights and strippers Posted: 8/24/2008 2:20:30 AM
I agree that this was WAY too far for a bucks night, but you should keep in mind these things are organised not by the groom but by his mates... traditionally its kind of like a challenge, to see how committed he is by showering him temptation If the groom has anything to do with planning the night, its probably second thoughts and doubt talking and a big warning sign... but the guys I know who have had a bucks before their wedding were given a 'surprise' by us mates and I know we enjoyed it more than he did lol My point is, don't get angry at him for being in a situation he didn't create-just tell his mates to stay the hell away from you're marriage
