Wesley Crusher switching to Linux

[cocoamix]

Yeah, if you know who he is, you probably hate him, or at least the character he played, but he's a really funny guy and has a pretty funny website. He has his own active forums, and he apparently is looking for help dumping Windoze and switching to Linux.
Check it out.

Perhaps not, but you can be sure that Windoze XPee can't do it either. However, since Linux source code is available, it shouldn't be too big a deal to hack it so that it could.    

Besides, linux stands a helluva lot better chance of being around in the 23rd century than does Windoze

Well my linux system responds to that command. After I wrote it that is:

Put this in a text file called "computer,":

Code: [Select]

Don't forget to "chmod +x computer," and put it in your path.

Actually, I've been able to talk to my computer and have it respond since 1996, since System 7.5.

It's so old news for Mac.

My computer keeps saying "I'm sorry Dave- I can't do that."  My name's NOT Dave; maybe it was watching "2001: A Space Odessy" on the DVD player.

Hey m0r, you're using the same "Colors" and "Window Decoration" that I am!  But your scrollbars are different, I don't seem to have that "Style". Which one are you using?

[foobar]

Surely looks helluva nice to me, have you tried 'transparent background' yet ?

[voidmain]

Doesn't look like m0r does but I do use the translucent background (but darkened).  I also turn off all the menus, scrollbars, borders etc...   So I just have a black box on my screen.  Don't need scrollbars when you can just SHIFT+PGUP and SHIFT+PGDN.  And if you need a Konsole menu you can always right-click. But I never need any of the menu items...  I do like the KDE Style he is using though.  For some reason I don't have it, he must have downloaded it from somewhere..
