h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OK, if it's not big enough, I'll use a field compresser on it, I've got a few spare. And you haven't told me anything about abalaster, you've simply told me that (i quote) "GOO RULES"!

Funny, I thought I told you "never use alabaster in my presence again", but maybe that was somebody else. Anyway the remark applies.

Actually, it was "How dare you use abalaster in my presence" which, technically, is completely different.

Oh and I thought that Zaphodistas were supposed to try and stop censorship? Or are you just putting "Zaphodista" in your name so people'll think that you're cool?

Abalaster rules. Goo sucks. That is my opinion and I intend to stick by it. There is no rule against me posting only abalaster links. So go stick your head down an economy class toilet.

Or fire me, and reduce my phone bill.

True, go ahead. I just hate clicking on links and being blinded by alabaster in the middle of the night.

yeah alabaster!

CV: surf during the day then

*The HV returns to the hanger* Axe, I have one phone line and my 'rents wont LET me surf during the day and they refuse to get DSL even after I made a deal with them!

Hey, don't get so worked up, I've got the smae problem.

EVA, calculate CV's current location

[EVA] California

[Axe] Really? Very nice place. I'm moving there soon (honestly).

DSL approximate install date april 10th! and I don't have to pay for it if I just do some extra chores. Oh, and my part of CA isn't your traditional sunshine, beach weather and 60 degree christmas. It's a ski resort town on the edge of a desert. Suffice to say it's freezing in the winter and blazing in the summer, and there's no beach within two-and-a-half hours. So yes, most of California is a nice place. Where I live isn't...

Take it you're not talking about San Fransisco then?

My ETA there is June 17th, using a one-way British Airways ticket.

Used to live up there... Only one way? Moving? Hope ya have a good time... We're about 400mi south of San Fran and an hour and a half ne of the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area

*calculates how long it would take to get to Venom's house from San Fran.*

Don't bother, my grandparents live up there. It's almost exactly 6:30 by conventional motor vehicle, 1:10 by aircraft and :15 by hyperspatial craft, but that's assuming you can launch from your yard.

And my DSL line, as well as my home network, is up and running perfectly.

Hey, I'm just happy when my computer is up and running perfectly (i.e. I hit the key combo for Linux when I start up).

*sets his firewall to High Security and then hacks Axe's computer so that the Linux key combo starts Windows XP Home*

>> hacks Axe's computer so that the Linux key combo starts Windows XP Home

I don't think so

*accesses the nearest terminal*

(to computer) vi /etc/lilo.conf... lilo

*shuts down computer input devices before any serious damage can occur*

Hey! I was TRYING to reinstall the Linux Boot Loader which, you might want to know is responsible for making Linux and Windows play nicely.

Note that it wasn't made by MS, so it doesn't crash either.

*restarts the terminal with a SuSE Linux Rescue Disk and finishes reinstalling the boot loader*
