Great job with the pirate talking! I totally forgot what day it was, and therefore was confused until I remember the wonderful holiday that I once celebrated. Arrrr I missed me chance!

Ahhh…I thought you were referring to a joke I posted in a thread that asked for Halloween jokes. I did ask for some good traveling saleswomen jokes and you sure provided one!

  Mounting Fat32 on Leopard 10.5.5?

  @chromaBYTE Right. Yeah unfortunately because NTFS is a proprietary format it’s gonna stay like that for a while. @jasonjackson Thanks for the links. I am aware of the first set of instructions you offered up. I’ve been using Linux for about 5 years now so the ntfs-3g package is definitely one I’m familiar with. I didn’t know about paragon though so thanks for that. What I actually decided on is two 110gb fat32 partitions, one 120gb hfs partition (which I’ll convert to hfs+ on my macbook, but gparted wouldn’t format it hfs+ only hfs) and one 120gb ext3 partition. I figure that’ll give me the ability to be cross platform and mirror data from the hfs and ext3 partitions to the fat32 using rdiff if I really find it necessary. I think my nerd is showing. Oh and my master partition table was corrupted because of some tinkering I’d done with it. User error. Ah well. Thanks to everyone for the answers!

  Anyone ever have a colonascopy? Any advice?

  Yeah I agree with @Snoopy. I just had one about a month ago and boy did it hurt, but I’m glad I did everything I was supposed to, because doing it again would have blown bubble gum. The other thing that sucks is if you have to do it with contrast, it makes you wanna puke. Also, it is IV sedation. I was not awake for it at all. They gave me the anesthesia and I guess they gave me fentanyl for pain (which I would have declined had I known because I’ve been addicted to that). I’d do it though. Good luck!

  Mounting Fat32 on Leopard 10.5.5?

  @chromaBYTE That’s what I thought. Alrighty then. Guess I load up gparted and throw an hfs partition on it. So idiotic. @maccmann Because NTFS is a proprietary format that is harder to get write access to. Linux has support for writing (after installing certain packages), but I do not believe that OS X does. (I lied I found out it does using the same implementation Linux does, which is still spotty and can have issues.)

  Why do Mac users talk about Apple like it's a religion?

  I think a great deal of it comes from not understanding that there are different uses for each OS and not every OS is built for everyone. MS puts out a great product for what it is. Really and truly, they do. Home users are able to do what they need and so are businesses. They just put out Quickbooks for OS X. That meant for years designers had to have a pc, just to run that software. And Linux doesn’t have enough hardware developers behind them to really make that dent that they need (unfortunately) in the home market, but it’s so deeply penetrated into the corporate environment with servers and the such that it has a large following there. Each OS has it’s own use. No one is good for everything. I actually just bought a Mac, and not because I’m going to an art college. While that helps, I actually bought it because it lets me do all the nerdy shit I do in linux while having the product support of windows. You get the best of both worlds with it. In all fairness, there are a great deal of MS fanboys that will tear anyone that has anything bad to say about MS a new one. You’ll see it a LOT on /. although it has become better as of late.

  The best hip-hop/rap song?

  The Anthem So much talent on one track. Proper Propaganda by Dilated Peoples It’s Goin’ Down by Xecutioners ft. Mike Shinoda and Static-X… That song is nothing less than the shit. Strange Things by Fort Minor Right Now by Fort Minor Kenji by Fort Minor Sorry for all the Mike Shinoda, but he’s a lyrical genius.
