My canned instructions for installing NVidia driver in SUSE:
I have added this to my FAQ. What I am doing is build a sort of FAQ for

That's partly how I started my site. There were two things that I
think I explained in the dawn of the history...

I think perhaps some people should get together and make a new FAQ for
this group. The old one is very much outdated, I think.

Then openSUSE approached me by several emails from different
people asking if I could write my *** there. I said OK, I'll
start with the proprietary multimedia stuff, that's what people
are looking for anyway. They said they'll come back to this after
looking if it's OK. Never heard of them since :)

Well, that is how it works. If you sit back and wait, nothing will
happen. What you need to do is go and just put it up on openSUSE.org
However the multinmedia stuff is very tricky to put on openSUSE.org. Due
to some stoopid German (and American) laws, they can't even link to
lybdvdcss and such things. Also linking to most other things is very
tricky to do on openSUSE.org

I'm not expecting them to ask again. My intention is to write
about *** that can't be put there anyway. Why would I not write
about *** people are interested in?



One Sunday morning in a heavy after-beer-state, I opened totally
naked with a semi-hard-on. There they were. I said:" Come on in!
I'm so sorry for this is all I have to offer you, but you're more
than welcome!"

Never saw them since!

I did the same with some Mormon girls when I was in Spain.

With your Peter in semi-combat-mode like me?

I'd like it better to do it with some moron girls though :)

They realy
looked cute and the quetion they asked me was: Do you believe in Hell? I
said "No, want to come in and talk about it?" Uh, no, by. Pitty, because
they realy looked cute.

Also had a discusion with mormons on the street once. The thing is that
they are well trained in the language of the country they are send to,
so when I was talking back in English, you could see them looking for
words some of the time. :-D

My explanation was that atheists are better people, because they KNOW
this is the only shot we have to get something out of it.

I've quoted the maestro in my sig before:

You've got to be digging it while it's happening
'cause it just might be a one shot deal
Frank Zappa, American composer fl. 1940-1993

If you blow
it, that is it. If you kil somebody else, he is gone for ever.
A believer believes if he kills somebody, the other person still has a
second chance, so killing somebody is not realy that final and thus not
that bad. That is why believer kill more and atheist kill less and thus
atheists are better people.

This is a complete ripoff of the idea from Harry Harrison
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_Steel_Rat

He also is convinced that robbing a bank is good for the economy and
everybody. Please understand that I do not have anything against people
who believe in whatever $DEITY[S] they believe in. If it were an atheist
talking to me, I could have taken a complete different point of view.

Crime pays. Old saying. It occupies quite a bunch of "good"guys
in our societies. When you come to think of the people who are
directly or indirectly employed by crime the list is surprisingly
long. It's not just the police :)

Now the institutes behind the religions are a different matter. Three of
the major religions follow the 10 comandments. That clearly states 'Thou
shall not kill'. Yet they all three do it with enjoyment, it seems.

Our country's main religion is Lutheran. It's ridiculous to me to
claim that ours is the only god and the others are fake. That's a
very good reason to start a fight, huh?

Imagine...


Now I'm working on getting better with telemarketers. I saw
(rather heard) this fantastic sample and I've started practicing:

Listen and laugh :)

I've sort of applied something like that one on the phone before.
Usually they regret they called me in like 5 minutes. I used to
sell myself, B2B, big systems, like 20 years.


One big problem is that people don't think enough when they ask.
The first number one thing would be a proper topic. Like
something that says something. Examples of very bad topics:

I'm sick and tired of saying don't top post. I'll start to say:
"Ask proper questions. You should ask: <topic here>"

If you had asked properly, Google would have told you:
<links here>
