There is a Mad Max motorcycle, and looking at Tripler on that bike instantly recalled "Mad Max" for some reason.

Of course they don't. They're riding upside down on the bottom of the Earth. If they fall, they fall "up" into the sky.

It's also why we have less drug problems, we just get high naturally.

And also why you're a bunch of strong motherf**kers, having to hold onto the ground all day to keep from falling up.

So I just installed the printer driver in Windoze yesterday which I had to hunt around for what seemed like hrs before I found one I liked or thought would work well . Then it took forever to install with a bunch of crap I had to un select so as not to add more crap on my clean install of both Win 7 and Linux Mint 17 . So I'm in mint and I decided to install the printer on the linux system . Linux found the printer on my network . The printer was not turned on yet it found it . Linux found the best driver and an update for the driver at the same time .I was done in 4 clicks and then it printed the coolest test page I have ever seen . Now that's progress .
It's just one more nail in the coffin for me and windoze .
Oh and I just went into Update Manager and did an update and Mint didn't even give a hint about restarting and was completed and gone off the desktop in seconds .

Yep, and RHEL has fixed it already. This news was a scary announcement and it directly affected the work we do at our company. All 220 of my servers had to be patched. Many of them do not have the updates turned on.

Didn't know, but thought I should pass it along.
Not to worry...I get that too, but ONLY on the Blog part of the site. You are still logged in as Tripler.
The spam bots try to infect Wordpress, but since the user database is connected to Xenforo, it cannot do it's dirtywork. The only evidence is that login name, which is not really doing anything. Not to worry about that. Now THAT seems strange. First, what browser are you using, and could you watch Netflix before? I bet you couldnt.
You need to install Pipelight (replaces Silverlight). Just watch this....if you have an issue, let me know:
I just posted a new thread on Netflix in Linux Mint 17 here:
http://www.gatefans.net/gforums/threads/running-netflix-in-linux-mint.27556/
It works, and I just did it myself. Im back on Netflix just because I wanted to see if I could get it to work, I had given them a break for a few months.

Oh wow...Linux Mint.
I had it in a VM, but it was just another pretty bird in a cage for me. My main OS was Ubuntu 14.04 which is excellent, but the UI and the experience was somewhat awkward, and somewhat dated. Linux Mint changes all of that.
I know at least three of us are using Mint now, and as of last night I decided to make the main OS Mint and dump Ubuntu. BEST MOVE YET.
I have discovered the Themes option, and I think it's neat that you can download and install new ones so easily. Installing software was always free, but Mint makes it so easy to install from the Start Launcher (or uninstall any of them with a simple right click). You can even change the Mint start button icon to something else..
Lastly, all of the technical tools I use easily installed on Mint. I was able to install the games and Windows software I needed using Wine that comes with the distro.
For Windows users who are sick of the problems and the way Windows slows down and gets muddy over time, this is the Linux you want to try. The experience and the UI is so intuitive to a Windows user, the learning curve is like...15 minutes. You can actually do MORE things with Mint than Ubuntu with a minimum of clicks.
Spread the minty love!
