2008 Aug 16 10:20 (#3966.11768):I like how Bill gets a quick "boy" in there. A nice touch to fine journalism.
2008 May 07 01:30 (#3834.11238):Oh, boy, look at the pretty colors!
2008 May 04 02:43 (#3832.11230):Someone forgot "Girl Drink Drunk".
2008 May 01 11:21 (#3830.11221):I´ve seen these before. Theyŕe nice to have when you go to record conventions to play a disc before you buy it. Quite a few people had them. Perhaps the ¨SoulExpressRadio¨ author has never been to a record convention.

2008 Apr 19 02:00 (#3817.11195):Raven-Symone' is totally awesome. You know it. Everyone knows it.
2008 Mar 30 08:50 (#3788.11080):cool. thanks y'all for the advice. I think i'll try vmware server, but I'll wait until the new Ubuntu 8.10 LTS thingy comes out in April. I'll have to reinstall all the windows stuff. But that's ok -- the current windows install is now at that magical point where everything it does mysteriously sucks ass.
it could run stuff really slow. but then that might encourage me to move completely away from windows without actually buying a new mac.
i think i have a linux copy of matlab someplace. dunnoh though.
2008 Mar 29 03:09 (#3788.11070):Oh, also this is to make my life less frustrating and more informational. Also, also, I am interested in doing things with data. A'la InfoChimps.
2008 Mar 29 03:03 (#3788.11069):You're right, my query was malformed. Allow me to rephrase.
What I want to do is run Windows XP under Ubuntu. And on the WinXP, I'd like some MS-Office, Matlab, Mathematica, Igor, maybe Tina-pro, ZEMAX, and SolidWorks. Since all that crap is alread installed on the existing WinXP drive, I'd like to be able to "just use it" without having to reinstall everything under the virtuallization environment.
The commodity hardware consists of:
- AMD 1.67 GHz processor (XP2000+ or similar dreck)
- 1.5 Gb ram
- ATI Radeon 7500 based graphix (64 Mb ram, me thinks)
- enough disk space.Yes, I have done the websearch and read the web stuff. But, the websearch didn't tell me what y'all thought. Thus the posting here.

With recent advances in search technology, Google, Inc., of Mountain View, California, [GOOG] announced today a new omnisearch tool, Google MrFlip. [link] With this new product, computer users everywhere may now harness the power of Google to query all parameters of, and relating to, MrFlip. "We are very excited and proud of this new addition to the Google family," chirped Geetha Jeyabalan, Google's Director of New Products and Esoterica. "No longer will computer users worldwide sit needlessly at home wondering what MrFlip's mind contains, frustrated by the lack of a portal into his cerebellum," she said. "Today, Google has released that portal, and it is mrflip dot google dot com!" Mike Nellis, a Boise, Idaho, based podiatrist and father of five responded enthusiastically to news of Google's latest product. "Holy fucking shit!" he quipped. "I told that loopy cunt [Google co-founder and President of Products] Larry Page that if he didn't have a product like mrflip dot google dot com released by April first of ought-eight, then I was going to bite out his eyes and skull-fuck him," Nellis cooed mellifluously. "Thanks to the responsiveness, creativity and talent of the Google team, I now have more time for ice fishing." Google's stock is up 256/81 at the close.
