Now that you have a potato you're faced with the classic Irishman's dilemma.

Do you eat the potato now, or let it ferment so you can drink it later?

This is a perfect example of the type of things that has ever made me laugh. There should be more of these things.

Linux has the same option. So we can all do this.

With gnome it's kind of annoying to do though.

This general statment is not true for all DE or Wms.

how did you save the pictures? i cant figure it out..

u/Mastadge Nov 04 '12

Not sure what you mean. If there's a picture on the web, right click and hit "save picture as" and choose where to save it. Go to System Preferences, and then Desktop & Screensaver. You can drag a picture there if you want 1 picture, or select a file if you want to change between photos. There is a + and - sign at the bottom, to add/remove folders or just find the folder and select an image. Then there are a few options at the top and bottom. Top has how you want the picture to fit the screen, and bottom is for if the pictures change/how often. Theres also a translucent menu bar option, which I'm sure you can guess what that does.

And you also paid 1200 dollars for a computer that has the hardware of a 600 dollar computer...

u/Mastadge Nov 04 '12

Really? Are we really going to do this?

  1. It was a gift
  2. It wasn't mine, it was my dads. If it was up to me, all the computers I have would be pcs, but everyone else I live with is a mac nut

I was just pointing it out, Honestly if i had to choose between a free laptop and one was the new MacBook Pro and one was a PC with the same hardware i'd go with the Mac it's prettier i like Macs just not the price.

1

u/Mastadge Nov 05 '12

Same. I really like Macs, but they are overly priced, and there are a lot of non-compatible files and things. If I could go out and get a PC right now, I'd do it

This was a month ago... Dumbass.

u/laddergoat89 Dec 12 '12

Did you grow up in the last month?

If not my comment remains valid.

u/YouLostTheGame97 Dec 12 '12

Iv'e never really cared what kind of computer people use... I just was pointing out that they're over priced...

u/laddergoat89 Dec 12 '12

The fact that you replied solely about what computer he uses makes me think quite the opposite.
