Alter Ego

THIS IS CRAP!

My desktop is practically dying on me. The network port on the motherboard is dead, I have to resort to using an NIC card. My graphic card is dying, I am seeing artifacts all over the place. I won't be able to sell it anymore. Damn it, I should have sold it last year and be happy with a DX10 card. So much for DX10 and Windows Vista bashing.

I think I find little use for desktops anymore. I would love to stick to laptops and focus more on mobility.

That's right, maybe no more gaming for me. I am getting old. I don't even find gaming as fun as it used to be anymore.

Sorry, friends, the next time you need someone to play Company of Heroes with you guys, you will have to look for someone else. I don't do games anymore. It's all reality to me now.

But wait...

Isn't Diablo 3 coming?


... and then there's the new Radeon cards called the 4850 and 4870!


Ahh, what to do??!! I can't decide!

Well, in Windows you usually do this:

ipconfig /all

They call it the ipconfig command, but in truth, you can never config-ure anything with that command. In Ubuntu, or any other Linux distro in particular, you simply do this to get your gateway IP.

netstat -r | grep default

or you can also do...

ip neigh

The latter is a lot faster though.

Useful when someone needs to configure their IP statically/manually.
