Re: Christmas Disasters

I feel sorry for ya ddr_f4n. I know how sibling rivalry can be.
Well, for Christmas dinner, my step-dad decided to go to the bar instead of eating with us. Big bmmer since we had company over and everything. Aside from that, it's been the best one of my life.

Re: Christmas Disasters

This thread is so depressing.

I installed a new graphics card on my computer, the driver from the manufacturer's official website (the proper one for my architecture and operating system and everything), and it rewrote my xorg.conf file (for you non-Linux users, this is the file that basically has all the information for Linux to tell your computer to display stuff on the screen), and there were no backups. The result was a 640x480 screen that prevented me from accessing pretty much anything useful (everything outside of the top left quarter of the normal-sized screen I had to go from memory). I ended up reformatting, while trying to get the video card working - the entire Christmas day. Just finished this morning, plus one correctly functioning operating system, minus one brand new video card.

$1000 is a buttload of moolah, after all.

I'm really sorry to hear about this Robby, that's pretty terrible. I hope the rest of your holidays are at least fun.

Re: Christmas Disasters

had pneumonia for a good 2 weeks or so...spent a week in the hospital, my dad's new gf (who is a total b*tch) decided to give me and my brother some random crap as a present (it's apparently stuff that's a dutch traditional thing) and then my brother got a drum set, (estimated cost....$4000 CD) and all i got was a used PS2 and ddr and a couple other games along with clothes and gift cards and that's it while he got a frigen drum set which he daily pounds on heavily to the point of giving me daily mind numbing headaches but atleast it's not $1000 dollars in lost stuff
