In other news, my mom and her friend both got shitfaced last night. Now I get to tease them about how old people can't hold their liquor :D
Holy craps! It's my b3rfday .. I'm 24 today, and pretty sure that one package is going to contain some awesome PC games that I've been dropping hints (and specs) about to my friends & family. Mom's taking me to the San Diego wild animal park to feed the cheetahs (yay!). All I can say is that if this is a subversive plan to turn me into a virgin sacrifice they're going to be sorely disappointed. Those of you shackers who feel the need to jump out of my cake (preferably you morning-run boys) plz form an orderly line below. Also, please restrict all the NWS pics of hawt menz that you'll be posting in my honor to the thread below. Thanks ;)
once again, MERRY XMAS YOU GEEKS !!!one

So basically I can't even send in the paperwork for the rebate until I've had the phone for 6 MONTHS! That's the lamest shit ever. It should be illegal for companies to advertise rebate amounts in the prices of stuff.

I got a linux install going,and it automatically starts X.
Unfortunately, it seems to have screwed something up, because .... there is a messed up picture, like as if there was a difference between resulution and refresh rate or something...its just a random pattern of green, red, blue etc
Monitor I set to do 1280x1024 (its native resolution) but when X starts...the monitor is only reporting 640x480 as the signal....I do auto adjust and nothing. Seems like X is borked.
How can I reset it, or prevent it from starting up? ANd then...how do I config it again.
