The script edits itself to increase the timer, but by increments so tiny that they should not be noticed right away. Depending on how addicted to “ls” the victim of your practical joke is, it may go on for days or weeks before they start to notice the delay.

Choice is one of many reasons why I really like this distribution over the other popular flavours right now. I share the same dissatisfaction for Unity and Gnome 3 with most of the community. While this is the main reason for jumping ship and crashing the Mint party, there are some really simple things I like, like Dropbox.

After waiting 4 hours for the updates to download, I try to log in and i’m queue’d around #4000. I get bored/distracted and come back an hour later to find I’ve been logged out. I didnt know anything about how DC Universe played, but I was expecting a standard MMORPG recipe like Champions Online, but it doesn’t feel like that at all! Instead, i’m presented with more of an action game.

Tactics for winning in Battlefield 3 multiplayer using the different classes, loadouts, and vehicles. My short experience with this game so far has already proven that not much has changed in the Battlefield series. If you’ve played one, you’ve played them all. The graphics are better this time around, but other than that, it’s should prove to be your typical battlefield experience.

The only problem i’ve had with LXDE and Mint is that running as a guest in VirtualBox, the guest additions will not install properly. I tried mounting the additions from the host and installing them, no dice. I tried installing from the software repositories using the aptitude update manager, no dice. So it didn’t work out of the box for me, but a quick recompile did the trick. No moving around files or manipulating configurations are necessary, just recompile for the running kernel and you’re in business.
