Daria is also one of myt favorite shows, with its dry humor and clever wit it is a big favorite of mine

Need you ask?

The way I see it is this... If your parents tell you to make friends and you bring back a dragon. I'm pretty certain they'll say "That's not what we meant." Sure Spike is a sentient creature, however when you are growing up there is a certain expectation to befriend kids of your own age, and in this case, (likely) race. Twilight was singing about that. Hence the concentration on ponies. Not to mention she didn't reunite with Spike until they were both older. She didn't grow up with Spike. It wasn't until she met the mane 6 that she realized the importance of PONY FRIENDS. You know those with she could at least somewhat relate to?

Yes but it is a little off kilter and possibly a little racist

Well looks like the knowledgeable ponies here have beaten down my feeble observation... Bravo!

Well to be fair its not that off the mark as Spike by all accounts is Twilights best friend at the beginning before she meets the other ponies and even after Spike still acts like a good friend towards Twilight so why doesnt she see him as a friend?

The relation that Twilight has with Spike is pretty complicated it seems, sometimes she is his older sister, sometimes she is his jerk boss, sometimes she is his crazy boss...

Maybe there should be an eppy where Spike and Twilights relationship is made more clear.

I am still mixed on G1, it all goes down to the bad voice acting and lack of relatable characters... both are severe deterrents for me.

ok so whats everyponies' opinion on liquid cooling over air cooling,

which do you think is better

Liquid is supposed to be better, but it all depends on how much stress you put on yuour CPU and if you have the capacity for liquid cooling

Just say its for your baby cousin or some nonsense

Aha!

some time this hour i have EST. but, im not sure how it works other places.

just ended. they were actually extremely polite. saying that everyone needs to have this kind of enthusiasm towards thing. and the lady said it too bad there isn't a little brony in all of us.

Hmm, I wonder if someone will upload it

I am on the east coast in Pennsylvania, apparently my state came out intact.

yeah, I was thinking that. I got 30 on my mom's computer. but unless your settings are WAY off, it shouldn't make a huge difference.

Well some monitors display colors at different rates and or frequencies. also it can vary on display type/connection/resolution/graphics card so there are a lot of factors to consider

Well it can depend on your computer monitor too

I got a 60 BTW

I prefer gmail, then again I am very anti microsoft.

Well if anyone wants a meetup I am open to one.

I will be now attending both days, yay!

I have linux. It has some nice programs, but Windows is a helluva lot easier to use!

Eh its all based on learning curve and what you want it to do.

If say you are a gamer then yes windows is the better.

However if you are comparing a clean install of say Ubuntu to a full;y loaded pre installed version of Windows 7 you are being pretty unfair to linux.

This is because most computer makers install all the codecs and pretty little things for you, but if you get a fresh copy of windows its just as hard to set up as linux, heck I dare say windows is harder depending on the hardware.

It all goes down to familiarity and experience so of course you would have issues with it, its a lot like owning an apple.

I've used Linux for a couple years. While it does leave you out of some programs, it does have its charms.

Yes though it does have a whole slew of alternatives

Now in the world of computers everyone thinks its all PC Vs Mac when it all goes down to is the operating system each uses.

The typical PC runs Windows, if you dont own a Mac most likely you are using Windows to access E-mail, the internet. play games and all that.

But there is an alternative to both out there that I think everyone should at least give a shot, and its name is Linux.

Linux like Windows is a way to do things with your computer like browse the net and view email however unlike windows Linux is a free operating system and very useful as an OS to have as a backup or companion to windows in a dual boot.

The reason why I suggest giving linux a shot nowadays is due to how messy Windows is anymore, even with Windows 7 it will be out the door soon enough thanks to windows 8.

Linux is not a drop in replacement for windows though so take that into consideration, also some versions of linux are easier to use then others.

If any of you are interested in linux my personal suggestion is Linux Mint as a starting point as it gives you everything you need:

DVD and MP3 playback, flash (though maybe not for long as those morons at adobe dropped linux support), java, all the stuff that other distributions of linux cannot give by default.

Now more then likely you might have heard of something called Ubuntu, currently it is the leading distribution in linux and with good reasons.

It is very easy to use and set up and has an array of tools to get a newcommer started.

There are only two major weakpoints for linux holding it back, gaming support and Netflix.

Gaming support however is looking a little better but sadly netflix wont support linux so if you are a heavy netflix user or gamer Linux is not for you.

But if you need a good OS for browsing the net, looking at e-mail, chat, office and other stuff dual booting linux is a good option when windows goes on the fritz.

I personally have used linux for over 5 years now and i wont be stopping anytime soon, I am glad to be practically free of windows except for netflix as honestly even with how good windows 7 is it still has all the hallmarks of a windows OS such as having to shut down just to preform a minor update.

Plus having to have all this software in it to boost its security is a chore, granted i might be a good net goer and not download anything that might hurt my system but its always good to have a safety net especially when windows is concerned.

If any of you are interested in linux and or using it on the side please feel to post in this topic.

Hello 911, I like to report some sort of horrific beast rampaging around, it is large, it is green and it eats people

I dont think its very nice

Sure, why not?

AH ICONS ON A UBUNTU DESKTOP, IT BURNS!!!!

Also you know you can change the size of the launcher icons in ubuntu you know so your launchbar wont be so cluttered and remove apps that you dont use (right clicking on the launch icon has a function to remove icons from the launchbar.)

And Unity can be tweaked a little with the help of an app called myunity

Anywho:

Ubuntu:

Hello I seem to have some sort of parasitic creature on my face, its a bit rough to see and breath.

Luckily it seems to want to keep me alive and is feeding me nutrients or so I hope...

I done run it as I usually dont use windows a lot

I have a decent machine I use Windows 7 and I also run Ubuntu

• Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
  
• RAM: 6.00 GB
  
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
  
• Harddrive: 1TB

I have similar specs, I am unsure if i want to ramp my RAM up beyond 4GB or get a better graphics card yet though

Well I don't know where my main pc is packed since I'm moving in July. I am currently using a laptop I purchased for 100$ some years ago that still functions somehow without imploding. from what I can tell there is a Turion 64 X 2 mobile processor. an ATI Radeon graphics card and 2 gigs of ram along with a 225 gb hard drive.

For such an old computer you may want to consider linux as XP is on its death bed.
