Has anybody seen the plethora of upcoming birthdays     I don't think I've EVAR seen so many!  Kinda makes me wonder if it's a glitch of some sort, especially since the majority of them are turning 5

it happens every year @ this time... anyone who doesnt list a birthday in their profile has a birthday on the same day

[MiniSimp]

If you are talking about July 1st, it is the default date for anyone who didn't enter their birthday on their profile.

Mike has failed to be able to fix it.

[Wermz84]

Yup, happens ever Year. 

[kneedownnate]

Stupid mike and his stupid not fixin stuff.... what's that guy do all day anyway?

[kneedownnate]

I love it Kneedown!  

I'd been dabbling on an old machine running Fedora 5 for the last year while I learned the file structure and what not.  Got to the point where I felt comfortable enough to convert my primary machine.  I used the latest Ubuntu.  Its real nice and the package manager makes it pretty easy for the average user (not me, but i wanted to check it out).   There are still some difficult tricks that ya need to know, like setting up my dual monitors and something else    I forgot.

The compiz-fusion eye candy is awsome.      here is an example

OS software = Free!
Productivity software = Free!   (so far i am happy with open office)

I'm not a big gamer so i don't have to worry about that. 

The only Application I could not migrate was Quicken, so I have an instance of Virtual Box running an emulated XP system just for my accounting software.


damn sorry about the wordy responce.      

In short, I am happy.  thanks.

  from me??   

Wermz, I really wanted to set my computer up with linux when I first got it, but my friend talked me out of it because I just hadn't used his enough to get used to it.  I like it on his though cause I never have to worry about opening up any files or extensions and getting a virus, and if I think somebody sent one to me I go to his house and open it there 

[Wermz84]

... and if I think somebody sent one to me I go to his house and open it there 

  Nice!   There still are viruses, just not as many.

If you have an old machine give it a try.    For me it would have been too frustrating to just convert my only machine.  Sometimes you dont want to learn something you just want to get some work done.

It's the very, very unbirthday day.

[JanMarie13]

Yeah, the people who actually DO have a birthday on July 1st are pretty much screwed because by the time the day comes around nobody cares to look at that huge list anymore.  LOL.  In fact, if I remember correctly, Mike disables the calendar for the couple days surrounding July 1 so the huge list isn't even there.


P.S.   What DOES the "H" stand for in Jesus H. Christ?  Maybe I should post that in the "I Wonder" thread

     mmmmmmmm'kay, note to self:  BF turns 48 on July 1st......everybody write this down!   Poor feller     Always takin one up the  

[Toymin8r]

I say just delete all thos users with a 5 for the age.   Most of them either haven't ever posted or haven' t posted in several years anyway.

[abnormaltoy]

and never a peep of protest from him!

[Rocksurfer]

Easy way to tell if it is really their birthday, actual age.

[kneedownnate]

Negative chief, I did notice somebody who's a legit member down toward the bottom who was turning 5.

[Rocksurfer]

So 5 would be his real age?

[kneedownnate]

Sorry, he's a legit member and it SHOWS he's turning 5, but in reality he's much older.

[Rocksurfer]

That's what I'm talking about, he didn't list his bd so he is put with the rest of the unbirthday people. I would imagine it is not his/her real birthday.

[79coyotefrg]

99ARtaco  is real,  but i dont think he's 194 years old

[BigMike]

The fix is to disable the birthdays until after July 1st

[Lady Di]

You can put in any year you want, and still have your correct birthday day

I know THAT for a fact , my age is in Marlin years. 

[Rocksurfer]

Yeah I think Campfire Girls age is 7 or something like that.

  i thought this was another religion thread

I thought it was about that one army movie that I remember the name of.

[dt]

for a long time ,Ive wondered what the H. stands for in Jesus H. Christ

[Rocksurfer]

I'm guessing Holy.

[Lady Di]

I'm guessing Holy.

  It's Howard, , after his father....

"Our God, who art in heaven, Howard be thy name"

Sheesh, I got to teach you guys everything!
