[ichwar]

Hdate -- A GNOME desktop applet providing an Hebrew calendar that gives the user easy access to the Jewish calendar. :thefinger

 

[zen-r]

Subject: Emoticons.
First word starts with A (next poster continues with emoticon & word starting with B, & so on)

We're on G:

- Giggle.

 

[ichwar]

I : Item (used instead of icons on linux)

 

[zen-r]

Isn't it time you started playing the proper, official, genuine, fun game, ichwar? ;

Subject: Emoticons.
First word starts with A (next poster continues with emoticon & word starting with B, & so on)

We're on H:

- Happy.

(ichwar could have posted that one, his favourite icon, if he'd been playing the proper game here)

 

[ichwar]

Jack-in-the-box. An obsolete item launcher.

 

[zen-r]

....On another note, any one who knows anything about games, come over here and continue an age old game (current game subject is linux, don't get fooled by zener's joking around with avatars).

As you may remember, this thread was dead because no-one wanted to do a Linux topic with you. Since I don't use Linux, I'm not prepared to do it either.

I restarted the thread with a more accessible topic, Emoticons, which you choose to ignore.

If you don't want to do my suggested topic, I'd better leave you to it, then!

 

[ichwar]

Kewl! You give up. Wow, I've never known you to do that before.

Have you been having a bad day?

Anyways, back to business.

KDE, the popular alternative to GNOME

 

[adamparkzer]

L is for Linux

 

[ichwar]

Good job!

M is for 'man' the command that you type after any software or service to get detailed instructions.

 

[adamparkzer]

N is the third letter in the word Linux.

Sorry, I don't know that much about Linux.

 

[ichwar]

It doesn't matter how much you know about linux, you just do the best you can! Much better than zen-r's response to this subject. Read back to the beginning of this subject to see what I mean.

O -- open source

 

[adamparkzer]

P is for PowerPC, a platform supported by Linux (according to Wikipedia).

(considering I stuck with you on your other personal hobby/self-chosen specialised topics of origami & chess, I think you already did rather well out of me, really!)

Correct!
Edit:

(considering I stuck with you on your other personal hobby/self-chosen specialised topics of origami & chess, I think you already did rather well out of me, really!)

Well, if you'd have stuck on long enough, you've of eventually gotten the chance to (legally) set the subject.
Edit:
Q -- Qemu (a virtual system emulator)

 

[zen-r]

It's up to you to choose a subject that is either;

1) of sufficient interest that many people can join you in the game.

2) is of such narrow interest that you have to wait weeks to find someone who wants to/can play it with you.

I guess you prefer option 2). :biggrin:

 

[ichwar]

Yep, I like option 2 myself!

R -- reiserfs (an ingenious file system that only linux supports.)

 

[adamparkzer]

R is for Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU project.

 

[ichwar]

Oops, I got in a tad too soon.

S --> SLED (my favorite linux distro.)

 

[adamparkzer]

T is for Torvalds, the last name of Linus, author of the Linux kernel.

 

[ichwar]

Unix (much nicer than MSdos)
