basically think of two things and the next person has to answer them...then he posts his own two things

ill let the next person start

Post in this thread, or

do something constructive? :P

post in this thread of course...

would you rather use vim or the e word...

vim all the way!!

Would you rather use Windows or Punch Card computers (old school!).

And no, there is no other choice

punch card computer!! xD would you rather use python or pearl...

parajuito said: punch card computer!! xD

would you rather use python or pearl...

I'd like to learn python rather than perl, thank you :)

Would you rather be sitting behind a 10 year old Sun Sparc machine or a 10 year old Amiga computer ?

albinootje said: Would you rather be sitting behind a 10 year old Sun Sparc machine or a 10 year old Amiga computer ?

I don't know anything about either of those... Sparc, I guess.

Would you rather be eating chocolate chip cookies or strawberries?

snova said: I don't know anything about either of those... Sparc, I guess.

Ooh... strawberries. :popcorn:

You grandma is using a computer for the first time. Do you install Ubuntu or Windows?

damis648 said: You grandma is using a computer for the first time. Do you install Ubuntu or Windows?

Ubuntu, of course. Both on principle, and because I'm more familiar with Ubuntu myself anymore...

Would you rather have the Batmobile, or a supercomputer?

supercomputer...because i dont need rockets in my car...

would you rather eat live fire ants or eat fire (like the circus guys...only for real)

Fire ants. Seems better. :popcorn:

Would you rather have a $5,000 computer or go on Zero G?

Computer. Zero G only lasts 30 seconds, no?

Would you rather be outside in the rain, or the snow? (Both are mild.)

snova said: Computer. Zero G only lasts 30 seconds, no?

Would you rather be outside in the rain, or the snow? (Both are mild.)

30 Minutes. (Total I believe):popcorn:

I would say rain. I don't dislike rain, it's actually nice. Snow is cold.

Would you rather use Windows or OS X?

Would you rather use Windows or OS X?

OS X. I've never used it before; I want to.

Now, if you meant as a replacement OS... I'd still say OS X, as it's still Unix at its heart.

Would you rather have a pet wolf or a pet tiger?

Choose carefully. :twisted:

I'm gonna have to say wolf. I love dogs, and well they are close relatives. :popcorn:

Would you rather learn to ski or snowboard?

PS. I have used Mac OS X and while it is nice, there's nothing to do. No tinkering or anything. Pretty boring stuff.

damis648 said: I'm gonna have to say wolf. I love dogs, and well they are close relatives. :popcorn:

And they have shorter teeth! (Well, even if they don't, at least they're smaller. :P)

PS. I have used Mac OS X and while it is nice, there's nothing to do. No tinkering or anything. Pretty boring stuff.

Perhaps, but I like the filesystem heirarchy. And also from a developer perspective.

Would you rather learn to ski or snowboard?

Snowboard! I've tried skiing, personally I think it's too risky. I don't like the idea of one of them getting turned around... too many things to keep track of!

Would you rather live in the desert, or Alaska?

damis648 said:

Read carefully now: Windows is for people who dont want to know why their computer works Linux is for people who want to know why their computer works DOS is for people who want to know why thier computer doesnt work and OSX is for people who dont want to know why thier computer doesnt work.

Would you rather live in a desert or Alaska?

Hey, I live in Alaska!!!

btw, it is a desert of sorts, it is really dry.

the obvious answer is Alaska (real deserts are too hot; you can always put on more clothes, you can only take off so much)

OK: would you rather spend 2000 dollars on a new computer, or chocolate? [color=white]blarg[/color]

Since there is nothing to answer above...

Would you rather fall off a cliff (and live) or get hit by a bus (and live)?

Fall off a cliff (the adrenaline and mid-air feelings are cool)

would you rather:

Have to program in Visual Basic or eat a dead rat?

Chocolate, thank you :)

Only good quality and fair trade chocolate. I'll be handing it out on the streets and share it with friends.

OK, Mark Shuttleworth has chosen your desktop as the most interesting one

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjkzNw

and now you can chose to go as a space tourist to the Moon, or to Mars ...

Drubie said: the obvious answer is Alaska (real deserts are too hot; you can always put on more clothes, you can only take off so much)

Exactly.

Have to program in Visual Basic or eat a dead rat?

Ugh, I hate VB... but not that much. ;)

and now you can chose to go as a space tourist to the Moon, or to Mars ...

Mars. We've been to the moon already, I want to be the first on Mars. Also, I think there is an atmosphere of some kind there...

Now, would you rather suffocate, or drown?

suffocate, underwater is scary.

would you rather get a sex change or be banished from the country you live in and loose all your possessions?

joshmuffin said:

you can always get new possessions; I care about my body more than the things around it

kk, would you rather drink a gallon of olive oil or eat a standard sized novel (paperback of course)? [color=white]blarg[/color]

Book dunno why.

Have to always wear your shoes on the wrong feet or never watch TV again?

shoes...then i would have them tailor made so that they can be worn on either foot

joshmuffin said:

No TV here anyway...

Would you rather take stairs all the way to heaven or an escalator to hell? [color=white]hidden message: blarg[/color]

It all depends if I have to stay there...

Would you rather burn your hand on a stove or get an electrical shock of the same pain level.

Electric shock, funnier for the people around me.

would you rather have to wear kids size undies for the rest of your life or never be employed again.

ive gone long enough with people thinking im dead...i could go longer unemployed!

eat only cake or only ice cream?

Cake, because you can at least get SOME fruit in your body.

Would you rather spend the rest of your like on IRC or the forums?

lukjad007 said: Cake, because you can at least get SOME fruit in your body.

The forums!

Would you rather get a gravity gun from half-life 2, or a portal gun from Portal?

Well, I've never played either, but I think the portal one, that would cut down on travel costs.

Woud you prefer having a fever for 2 days or a cold for two weeks.

If it was the cold, that let me stay at home, then the cold!

I hate fevers. Like all you do is shiver, sweat and moan.

What would you rather ?

A high end PC with no monitor or a PS3 with an fullHD lcd ?

high-end PC! my machine is crap

Would you rather make millions selling strawberry ice cream all your life or make almost nothing working for Linux/Ubuntu?

linuxluver said: high-end PC! my machine is crap

Would you rather make millions selling strawberry ice cream all your life or make almost nothing working for Linux/Ubuntu?

I am sad to admit it, but strawberry ice-cream FTW!

The thing is, if I wouldn't make any money, I couldn't contribute to the project.

Would you rather get a free high-spec computer, which only runs windows, or a mid-spec last gen computer with linux ?

windows...then VBOX FTW

high-gen, then hack the HD so it would run Linux

eat poisonous spaghetti and win a million $ or eat a worm and get 5$

linuxluver said: high-gen, then hack the HD so it would run Linux

eat poisonous spaghetti and win a million $ or eat a worm and get 5$

How long does it take for the poison to take effect?

I have calculated, that if I live up to 90 years, thats 18-90, I would get around 40$ a day.

What would you rather ? Spend 2 millions in 1 day, or get a unlimited credit card, with a withdrawal limit for a day (40$)?

2 mil...its more than if i got the credit card at birth and lived to age 90 i think

have a dog or a cat

Dog.

Hack your school or hack your worst enemy?

Stalker72 said: Dog.

Hack your school or hack your worst enemy?

Worst Enemy. I don't want to get expelled. :( (Not that I haven't fooled around a bit ;-) )

Would you rather go back to Windows without any possibility of using any other OS ever again or stop using computers for good? :popcorn:

depends on the hack...probably worst enemy...i wouldnt do anything totally harmful...just leave messages to him and mess with his icons and stuff until he went insane

EDIT: id take windows

code in perl or bf

Perl, I think.

Although I prefer C/++.

Live alone, or sacrifice yourself for everybody else ?

I would lay down my life, if just for my mother.

Use a Mac OS2 or Windows 3.1

lukjad007 said: I would lay down my life, if just for my mother.

Use a Mac OS2 or Windows 3.1

Mac OS2. In terms of user interface, it was better. And it ran on IBM chips. What would you rather? KDE or Gnome with the latest DO.

If I had the specs KDE

Would you rather: code in whitespace or brainfuck (Google them before you answer)

Whitespace. It looks more fun.

Would you rather wear the most embarassing outfit you can imagine for one day, or wear the same thing for 2 years in a row?

Embarrassing - I'd probably do something like a ballerina

would you rather holiday to Australia or Canada?

Australia, sounds way more exciting. I live in the USA, so Canada is fairly similar.

Oh, and just to bring up the school or enemy one, school, because other than the government, I really have no enemies. and for the hacking, I would put Ubuntu on everything!:D

(P.S. joshmuffin, the thanks medallions look gone to me, so i would consider editing the sig ;))

What am I supposed to respond to?

Only the thread creator has the option of marking his/her thread solved. Also you can only mark threads in the support forums as [SOLVED]

(P.S. joshmuffin, the thanks medallions look gone to me, so i would consider editing the sig )

You can only thank on the support forums.

------EDIT------- It appears they are gone: the same thing happened not long ago, I'm pretty sure it has to do with updates

jenkinbr said: He might as well get rid of the red text entirely - the solved feature is also gone.

What am I supposed to respond to? Only for now. It will all come back. They are only gone for now to keep the servers stable.

Yeah there gonna need to upgrade there servers because I'm getting those errors way to much:P

Btw I'll start it back up again:

Would you rather loose your phone for a week or have to rollerblade to work for a year

phone sushi or raw meat? (to eat oveously)

Sushi. There need be no animal parts in sushi.

Stawberry for a year, or chocolate.

St[highlight]r[/highlight]awberry all the way - too much chocolate makes me sick.

Be confined to the Bump thread for a year, or the elevator/mall/whatever thread for a year?

Mall.

Would you rather: Loose your TV or lights for a year (you could use candles)

if i get compensated for the damage to my eyes lights out

I guess I'll just start over

Would you rather be hit with a baseball bat, or eat a live chicken

Hit me. Would you rather listen to "Don't Copy That Floppy" or "Santa Baby"?

the first because it sounds mildly ammusing

*Ahem...* There's no white text there, I checked.

talk only in 1337 5p3a|< or only in binary

1337 5p3/-\|<

be thrown in molten lava or be thrown in molten iron (lava is 1200ºC and iron is 1811ºC)

Iron, less suffering

would you rather have 2 sisters or 2 brothers?

Two (younger) brothers.

Would you prefer younger or older siblings.

older

2 cups of ubuntu or lifetime supply of tea?

Lifetime of tea. I already have Ubuntu.

Eat squid or cat.

Squid.

Punch a Microsoft fanboy or an Apple fanboy? :P

Stalker72

be eaten by wolves or eat a cheesecake.
