Oh my God I spent the weekend trying to install Linux Mint on my new laptop, only to end up giving up and switching back to Ubuntu.

There's a very good reason Linux doesn't hold much of a market share: It's a pain in the ***.

Linux is great for the people who want to make it all theirs and put in the effort and stuff. I'm not one of those people.

I use too many tools that only really work in Windows to switch off.

Same here, most of my stuff for work only runs in windows. My old job did some stuff in linux, it was okay.

I do, too. Though I'm obligated to call my tools "specialists."

I thought Linux was a lot bigger in scientific circles so I figured you'd use some customized version or something at your job.

Yeah, that's not uncommon. Most of the labs that routinely write software have a version that runs in linux in their lab. There's just seems to be so much more a trained person can do with it.

The problem is that if you want anyone else to use your tool it has to be windows friendly. So you end up having to maintain two versions of the program, one for windows and one for linux (and other platforms as well sometimes). Unless you're a large lab and can benefit from hiring dedicated computer people to maintain a linux server and write customized software or something you'll just cut your costs and settle for windows only.

"I have something to give you. I don't want it anymore. Thirty hours of pain. All at once, all for you."

Without using Google, can anyone name the source? Just watched it again, and it was as good as I remember it.

Just booted up Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix on a PSP emulator. I wish I had done this sooner, it's gorgeous on the PC. And it's been too long, I missed the hammy over-the-top anime-ness of KH.

Disney and Squaresoft Enix collaboration game series that was better than it had any business being. We're talking Donald Duck vs Sephiroth here. On side note, Marvel is part of the Disney family now, so I'd probably be excited for Spider-Man levels for Sora and crowd to explore.

They announced they'd be adding Leia to their princess lines of toys, which is actually pretty awesome, so it's possible we'll see a Star Wars world in the future.

And yeah, KH is a solid 86x better than you could ever imagine it would have been. I have no idea why it works, but it does. And it works well. Possibly because it doesn't take itself too seriously but still manages to strike a serious tone when it needs to.

which line of toys?

legos, blow up dolls, action figures or a disturbing mashup of the three?

I'm sure Leia blowup dolls are already available. Not sure about the Disney princesses.
