YAWN!

Khara, you may have lost weight. Pitty that the disappearing layer of fat revealed just another layer of ugliness. Now back to the kitchen!

Twat you are such a, such a....

Hell I have no clue. 

You just keep up the idiot job you are doing!!!

I am sure your mommy is so proud.    Maybe santa will bring you some big boy toys for christmas this year.  That Bob the Builder doll looks a bit errrrrr sticky!

You really are a mean-spirited prick, aren't you?

I usually don't respond to trolls, but that was... yeah.  That was a pretty ugly thing to do.

I loled at the picture. i guess it was your idea, badbeast.

because there just has to be one joke in your posts which wasn't served you on a silver tablet. you're a humorous guy. there must be a filter in your head which prevents you from posting every dump your brain has taken. but i'd understand if you said it was shut down temporarily.

I suppose there is, Welty old thing. I think most people do. However, you seem to lack one. This gif reminds me of you, and your futile drive for acceptance here.

holy crap, i didn't realize that there was a bitchfest going on in here when i first clicked the link.

However, some ddate info from me:

One of the developers of ddate has an MIT email address (those geeks).

ddate is in one of the integral security parts of the linux kernel, which means: 1. it will be present in all versions of linux unless specifically removed. and 2. it will never come out (as foretold by the guy responding to the complaint ticket about it).

I have worked for a long time trying to make my clock applet in ubuntu display the discordian date, but have so far failed. Instead, i think i oped for a much more awesome solution.



If you want to do this too, here is how:

First go and do everything on this page to install a terminal in your background (move any icons from behind the place where the terminal will be, because you won't be able to click on them anymore once the terminal is over them. http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/ubuntu-embed-terminal-into-you-desktop.html

Once you make the terminal in the background, modify step 3.2 to where the file that gets called in startup also calls the ddate command after opening the terminal. My version of this file is:

Code Select Expand

#!/bin/bash
sleep 20 && gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=trans777 --geometry 72x35+780+50 -e ./ddate

You can modify the geometry sizes however you like, but make sure that the command calls another executable file in the home folder (mine was called ddate, but that's just the name of executable file)

Now you have to create the executable file in the home folder that the above command executes (make sure to flip the executable bit on this file as well). My copy of this new file is below:

Code Select Expand

ddate
/bin/bash

This calls the ddate command, but unfortunately the terminal just freezes up without a command line after this, so we manually add in a line calling a command line (which is the /bin/bash line).

And that's it. Just make sure to add the "start terminal" shell to the programs at startup list and you should have a wonderful transparent background terminal displaying the ddate for today whenever you start up your computer.


Side note: if you run commands in the terminal and want it to get cleaned up to "just started up" status, run the command:

Code Select Expand

clear && ddate

to clear all output above ddate and just leave the output of ddate and a command line below it in the terminal.

additionally, you can follow ddate on Twitter now:

Big block of text about having ddate run when you start the prompt

A substantially quicker solution is to add the line

ddate
to .bashrc

ddate, is that when all of the l33t spags storm the beaches of Normandy in search of Mountain Dew?

Sorry, but after the last six months, you dont get to pretend to be reasonable now.

HEY EVERYONE, I READ THIS REALLY COOL BOOK I BET YOU NEVER HEARD OF.  IT'S CALLED "ILLUMINATUS!"

Exactly, actions have consequences.  Not to say that you can never have a reasonably normal conversation here, even Wade was able to converse at some points like a normal human being, but you don't just get to decide that your trollish bullshit is over and now people should take you seriously... that takes time and effort.  It will mean putting up with a lot of people acting toward your posts the way you acted toward all theirs for so long, and NOT lashing back like you did in this thread.  In other words, it will take patience and politeness.  I'm sure you will have NO trouble with that, fuckwit.

This.

If he wants to be a total fucking prick to everyone, he shouldn't expect a reasonable conversation just because he suddenly wants one.
