Well its that time again. After a few years or so I get my linux certification renewed. That means a few hours of testing for the certificate. The thing is I havent touched linux in a while and need a good resource or book to study. Im pretty sure Ill get at least 90% on the test but would like the help. Anyone know any specific books that are geared to certification? Im going CompTIA.

There was a post about man laws and an issue to make them easier to understand(after all they are man laws) So here they are: 28 Man Laws it's a little long, but some of these are pretty damn good... rules to live by, that's for sure... heh. 1. Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella 2. t is OK for a man to cry ONLY under the following circumstances: (a) When a heroic dog dies to save its master. ( The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse. © After wrecking your boss's car. (d) One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game".(e) When she is using her teeth. 3. Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his buddies. 4. Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours. 5. If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever unless you actually marry her. 6. Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden. However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable. 7. No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is strictly optional. At that point, you must celebrate at a strip bar of the birthday boy's choice. 8. On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest. 9. When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing. 10. You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she's officially your girlfriend. 11. It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless model and only when it's free. 12. Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts. 13. Unless you're in prison, never fight naked. 14. Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed. 15. If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything. 16. Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers. 17. A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight. 18. Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that's just greedy. 19. If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer. 20. Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response. 21. Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting weights (a) Yeah, Baby, Push it! ( C'mon, give me one more! Harder! © Another set and we can hit the showers! 22. Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e., both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need. 23. Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary. 24. The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal, drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion occurs about what a big mistake it was. 25. It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours. 26. Thou shalt not buy a car in the colors of brown, pink, lime green, orange or sky blue. 27. The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an Xbox. End of story. 28. There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever. We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each is listed below:"GUTS" is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to say, "are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?" "BALLS" is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the donkey and having the balls to say, "You're next!" We hope this clears up any confusion, The International Council of Manhood, Ltd.

12/7/06 Thought Id get some input from gamers.

With all the hoopla with cell processors and bluray drives and whatnot, Ive decided to ask all of you what you would want in a gaming console if you were to create one. My choices: All integragrated in one board. 1 AMD 4800+ dualcore (plenty good I think) 2. 512mb ddr2 systems ram. 256mb dedicated video ememory with geforce 7800 or better graghics capability. 3. SB x-fi sound. 4. 16x dvd rom drive with hd capability.(Do we really need bluray?) 5. Standard usb 2.0 ports for controllers and everything else. 6. small updateable operating system that includes multimedia goodies like playback of pretty much all video and audio files. 7. Intregrated highspeed network adapter 10/100 or better. I think a system like this could fly with a small highspeed OS.

Well since there arent any ps3's to be had anywhere, Xbox 360 here I come.

What operating system does the PS3 use anyway?

Looking for a good used PSP. Ganes not nessesary but would also like a memory card with it.

And on and on and on and on and on and on...............

Yea its crazy. Why cant some people just wait a few months to grab one? Shooting people, riots and robberies over ps3's?! Thats why Im all for preordering. But there werent anyone I could find preordering. If I were a walmart exec I would tell Sony either we get enuff for the demand or we stop selling anything Sony till we do. But thats just me

A friend of mine works in the electronics dept of one of the 2 walmarts here in Sioux Fall SD and he says that it will be 3 to 6 months before more ps3's come in. Otherwise Ill have to order the insanely expensive "sports" package ps3 bundle. Dont like sports games for anything and thats all that in the bundle. Sony really fumbled the ball on this one. Dont know if ill buy another playstation again. I heard on the news yesterday that someone got shot over a ps3 while standing in line. Whats the world coming too? Crazy.

Now they have lost their minds at Walmart. $1400?!?! http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5303666

I'm all for conjecture, but in the future, I'd appreciate it if you didn't bash my lack of knowledge of your conjecture. I don't take it personally -- I'm sure you would have jumped on anyone who posted the same thing -- but it's still offensive. I must apologize...I spend too much time on Gamestop/gamefaq forums only to come in here with the same attitude. Bad Admin! Bad Admin! (slaps hand) eh... not that bad though.

This was made in 2005 but I havent seen a dvd for sale about it anyone know where I can get one if at all. http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/movies/gravedancers.php

That is just awesome!

Dang it was I toying with someones destiny again?! Damn my voodoo powers!

lol I need a Terry Tate where I work.

THE LUNKSTER!!

There are a few tv commercials out there that are just hilariouse. Here are my favs. Directtv startrek: "Again with the shields?" and "Star Fleet just ponied up for this big screen hd tv" lol love it. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=46...+trek&hl=en The continueing saga of the geico caveman. heres the newest one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVVSmnnqfvc

Ill be buying it. I know its over priced but Im going to connect it to my 37" hd and buy some logitech speakers for it. My pc is my main gaming rig but there are a lot of ps2 titles that are great on a tv like that. Play Ace Combat 4 or 5 on one of those. Tons of fun. Then theres also the audio capbilities for movies and games and you can play your mp3's on it. Its as good as a home stereo. I dont like the $600 tag but Ill probably wait til ps6 after I get ps3 before I buy another one.

You are 96% addicted to Counterstrike. uh oh.

Guaranteed to bring your "not upgraded" pc to a screeching halt with directx 10.

It said something about not being able to "put a price on perfection", or something like that.
