    There isn't enough lube on earth to minimize the amount of ass pain DC United is going to inflict on its fans this year. Mostly because Olsen is a lube hoarder and is keeping it all for himself.

    Speaking of bands, I think I saw you at last Friday's Kraftwerk show at the 9:30 Club. Which was awesome, BTW. The show, I mean.

    Absolutely. I was very happy to see the place so packed for that band -- it gives me hope, LOL. And the glasses were an added plus. What a great souvenir.

    Okay, this is NSR, but also not NSR, where the S is variable.

    So I had an old XP laptop that I had been upgrading over the years. From about 2006 I think. And I had wiped it a few times and it still runs fairly well so with the demise of XP I decided to install Linux on it for fun because I have never used Linux. I went with Ubuntu because it seemed like the easiest solution. I was looking for something that wouldn't take up much of my time because I have a hundred things more important than this to do.

    Ended up installing the dual boot with XP while I was doing work around the house and I think I passed by the computer and clicked on something about 3 times before it was done. Easy peasy.

    I like it. Wish I had done it a long time ago. Still figuring out how everything works in my spare time, but how simple was that?

    I used to multi-boot all of my machines. I even had the original Android on my old Windows Mobile phone. I grew out of it all around the time Windows 7 was officially released.

    I also multi-boot my B&N Nook to Kit Kat, which is pretty useful. I probably wouldn't do it to any machine still under warranty or with an OEM OS that I still planned to use as a primary device. My 2009 laptop is nearing the end of it's useful life, so if it gets replaced I will probably put Ubuntu on that one too.

    I stick with OSX as it is built on BSD Unix. That way I can access all of the linux/nix machines, etc. and still have a pretty darn stable OS. I also have Win7 on Bootcamp and Win8 via VMWare. The OSX terminal is so freaking cool and I don't have to worry about running shell scripts or changing environment variables.

    I still have multiple operating systems on my two primary desktop computers, but I no longer even dual boot my laptops. I considered it on my newest laptop before I bought it, but the damn thing does everything I need it to and I'm more likely to run into hardware issues (it's a "convertible" Win8 machine) with it than my desktops that I built.
