Primer was such a weird movie. i don’t even think I made it to the end because I just didn’t understand what was going on. Hope your computer starts working- Maybe try some linux irc channel?

Apparently the whole play once dvd thing was a hoax. I remember a few years back they had something called “Divx
” where you could only play the dvd a certain number of times. It bombed and they lost a lot of money on it. The drm involved the dvd player having a modem in it which would dial the company everytime you wanted to watch the movie. This wasn’t so popular especially since the player cost more.
Good show, Liron. I liked the “Top 10 webdesign mistakes” for the year. So sad but true. Hope your penguin problem gets resolved!
Einstein’s manuscripts online … Awesome.
Shana Tova.
Hey Liron, you made my way into town much more interesting than it usually is, this afternoon.
Now I’ll head over to Einstein and have a quick read – I don’t expect to understand anything.. but eh, what can you do 
Sorry, I have to ask: I know you bought a new computer recently, but why Madrake? (or Mandriva, whatever it is called today)….
Hi Alex, thanks for the help! I’ll try your suggestion the second I have an opportunity.
Why Mandriva? I’ve Tried Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE, countless others… I felt at home with Mandriva because it’s a desktop for desktop users (me) and is easy to use and good looking, which is exactly what I want
Not to mention that Mandrive has the best Hebrew support out of all other distributions and is the most widely used in Israel, which was a deciding factor.
I don’t think that visual appeal is the most important factor for me (why wouldn’t you get a Mac then), but its definitely important. I personally let WinOS go from all my computers (I have 3 of them) and I have almost no problems with hebrew (maybe I just don’t use it much). I use Gentoo personally, because I like to in control of everything thats installed on my system.
Besides, I may give FreeBSD a ride sometime, and today I’ll install Ubuntu 5.10 Preview on my laptop – just because I liked LiveCD.
So let me know when you try to debug the problem.
