My first addiction. The ubuntuforums community cafe.

[dragos240]

Sometimes I get woken up from my sleep because I have this urge to get here. If that happens, I will feel sick to my stomach until I get here. Either that, or I am hungry and when I start posting here, I ignore it. Either way, This subforum has got me hooked 0_0.

[misfitpierce]

I know what your saying. I love this freakin community buddy.

[AllRadioisDead]

I'm a student, and I have this addiction to the computer in general, I don't think it's healthy.

[Sean Moran]

I can relate to this. Other forums in the past have had the same effect.

[dragos240]

@ihermit: My family thinks the same. and it's probably not healthy. But I'm too lazy to do anything about it, no motivation either.

Get a girl. It will teach you why computers are nothing more than tools.

If everyone had girls there would be No Linux! :P

[RichardLinx]

Yeah, I need to cut back on computer use in general. If I'm away from my computer for more then an hour I start to feel a little depressed. It's that or a lack of coffee. :P

[AllRadioisDead]

Dragos, I have the same problem, I'm not motivated to do assignments either, I'm getting pretty behind.
@PurpleofReason, gunna look into that.

[dragos240]

@ihermit: I am a freshmen, and so far, I am doing great, all A's, and 1 B+. Gonna get that up ;)

[AllRadioisDead]

It's not a big deal for you, I'm a senior, I don't even know what programs I'm going into next year yet.
Eugh.

It may sound crazy, but it's a fair trade IMO. In fact, I think it's an awesome trade, and I'm on my way to work with computers for a living. A good girl > any computer. The only problem is it's a lot easier to get a good computer then find a good girl. :(

[AllRadioisDead]

That's what she said.
No offense, but that was a really bad twss :(

...but not as fulfilling of course, a lifetime of good computer could never compare to a lifetime spent with a good partner.

For those who haven't noticed, I do a full (or almost full) rebuild (up or downgrade) almost every 5 months. That, and if a girl costs too much money she probably isn't my type.

Sounds like someone is regretting becoming obsessed with computers. ;)

I could believe this but I remember the saying being popular before the movie.

It would be like saying Forest Gump invited the meme "Stuff Happens"


Sounds like someone is regretting becoming obsessed with computers. ;) Nah not me...I am very very happy with my partner & she with me...she just goes to bed earlier then me sometimes. ;)

Description: A GTK-based monitoring app

Hot-babe is a small graphical utility which display the system activity
in a very special way. When the CPU is idle, it displays a dressed girl,
and when the activity goes up, as the temperature increases, the girl
begins to undress, to finish totally naked when the system activity
reaches 100%. Of course, if you can be shocked by nudity, don't use it!

Maybe advisable to shutdown and power-off at the GPO before you use it...

... otherwise it could short out some of the circuits in your keyboard, or worse!

Description: calendar program for women
Cycle is a calendar for women. Given a cycle length or statistics for
several periods, it can calculate the days until menstruation, the days
of "safe" sex, the fertile period, and the days to ovulations, and
define the d.o.b. of a child. It allows the user to write notes and
helps to supervise the administration of hormonal contraceptive tablets.
.
Possibilities of the program:
- Calculate days of menstruation, based on the length of the cycle or
on statistics of previous periods.
- Calculate days of "safe" sex, fertile period and day to ovulations.
- Definition of D.O.B. (Date Of Birth) of a child
- Allows to write notes.
- Helps to supervise reception of hormonal contraceptive tablets.
- Multiple users allowed. Data is protected by a password for every
user.
.
NOTE: This program is not a reliable contraceptive method. It does
neither help to prevent sexual transmision diseases like AIDS. It is
just an electronic means of keeping track of some of your medical data
and extract some statistical conclusions from them. You cannot consider
this program as a substitute for your gynecologist in any way.

Has the world become that scared that they must put warnings on absolutely everything? I will soon see a note on my milk saying "Warning: Contents could be hot if you have left it in the oven all day!"

Sweet, anyways it's 3:12 am, goodnight.

Computer addiction, eh. Funny that, I can sit at the computer for ages and thne not use it for a week and not really care. You've just got to have something else you like doing just as much, and then you won't become addicted to things. :)

Pfft. If TC thinks this is addicting then he's never played on a internet mafia board.
