It's funny seeing newly converts feverishly pecking at GUI buttons in their favorite distro as if every piece of software on it was made at the same factory. You have to be gentle with them.
linuxconf broke more than it fixed. I had only tried it a handful of times at the urgings of other enthusiasts. I hated having to undue all of the errors it would make on my machine. The idea was great but I still think its just not possible to make a one-size be-all-to-beat-all admin tool for every distro without messing something up somewhere.
I see selecting a linux distro to be kind of like getting married. Sure there are plenty of general rules of thumb that can help you achieve a successful marriage. But those alone aren't enough. You have to get to know your own spouse and their unique needs.
"I can't help it." usually equates to "I have no self-discipline." The longer that fact goes ignored, the worse it becomes. Very few things are truly involuntary. Such as projectile vomiting.
I'm not so quick to forget why I dropped IE in the first place. To get away from ActiveX and general apathetic browser security. Where's that represented in benchmark?
That is a similar experience to being around smokers.
No. You are exaggerating. I've had to work around both when I served in the military. It's not the same. People that won't bathe are much worse. Just research the history of plagues and you'll find all the proof that you need.
I think the original poster intended to ask about a client application protocol. Like their reference to FTP. If my assumption is correct, then the poster from the article might be interested in something like rsync, only for Windows instead of Unix. In which that case would be cwrsync - Rsync for Windows.
I invested more time in making this post than researching file transfer solutions for this article. More research by the interested party would be wise.
Years ago there used to be a collection of FOSS software that did just what the poster was describing. I don't know the status of those pieces of software are today, but its all been done before.
Back in the 80's it used to be the difference between analog and digital. Under close examination if the image contained any square pixels then it was assumed to have been "computer-generated." An analog film image like that from a 35mm camera wouldn't have any pixels at all and would've been assumed to have been "real." Although this was not always the case, usually the negatives from that 35mm film would have also been required for forensic purposes before any images could be used as evidence.
Not typically. I've had to repair several over the years. Unless the media is damaged the data should remain.
Incidentally, `fdisk/mbr` is more common for Win9x. For WinXP use the Recovery Console by booting the affected machine with an install disk. After entering the Administrator password, type the command FIXMBR at the command prompt.
I've never touched a Vista machine yet. So I can't give any instructions here for servicing Vista. Sorry.
This is likely the list of aliases the same 100,000 use. I wouldn't trust that all of these names are legitimate or that each name belonged to a single individual.
However, I have no proof to offer. This is just my first impression.
Hmm.. Microsoft now controls both the Plaintiff *and* the Defendant. I don't envy that Judge. I guess MS couldn't purchase enough puppets in Congress. I wonder what the game plan is after this one?
My mother is in her 60's and loves to play PC games. Particularly Guild Wars is her current favorite to date. Before PC games, and more importantly before her arthritis, she was the Mario goddess to us kids with a Nintendo.
By switching to PC games she freed herself from having to hold the controller. Now she simply rests her hands on the mouse and keyboard to play.
The type of game also seems to matter as to how often she can play as does the weather. First Person Shooters (twitch games) aren't her thing. And that's perfectly understandable. Casual games with some automation to the gameplay seems to spark her interest the best.
It may not be that you need to give up gaming entirely. Perhaps just the platform may be the key.
The cost comparison doesn't seem right here. It's not cost of erasure tool to cost of replacment drive unit.. it's cost of erasure tool to data integrity damage.
If the data in question got out and it will cost more than $2000 in damages, then buy the degausser as a one-time-cost preventive measure and use it.
It really doesn't matter if I know your PC specs or not. Me knowing isn't going to change what's in your box. Different game publishers make use of different hardware optimizations and performance will vary from one machine to the next. But these general tips will still apply to most situations. Knowing what hardware your chosen game was optimized for will help too. Video games make such extensive use of all your hardware that it's more like finding a team for the job than just one individual. There's no one magic do-all piece of hardware that runs all games. Here's a few basic tips to keep in mind while making hardware choices. Other than the usual 3D accelerator card perks, watch for things like...
CPU / RAM speeds. Make sure your CPU and RAM can talk to each other as fast as possible. They communicate via the FSB (Frontside Bus). When buying RAM, buy it all at once. Don't mix and match old and new peices of different speeds. Games make more use of the CPU/RAM combo than anything else. While a highend video card helps video, the CPU/RAM are left to work on audio, network (for online play), and physics as in games like Half Life 2. 1 gig of DDR400 memory will far out perform 2 gigs of 133MHz SDRAM with the same CPU.
Minimize harddrive access time. Harddrives are the usual bottleneck when a PC doesn't have as much RAM as a game needs to cache those enormously bloated textures. Harddrive performance is usually rated by spindle speeds and seek time. Higher spindle speeds and lower seek times are generally better.
Spend a few extra bucks on a decent audio card. Avoid onboard audio whenever possible. And the same goes for the network card. If you have too few slots for all this, it's better to go with onboard network than onboard audio.
Outside those general things, another thing to keep in mind is the more hardware devices like printers and scanners that you have plugged into your machine the more often the CPU polls those devices during each cycle. Also allowing third party applications to automatically launch and idle while you play will hurt performance.
I've never spoken publicly about any memory issues with Firefox. But my initial 10 minutes of "looking into it" for this whole issue turned up with me setting Firefox to have a blank start page, and then watching the memory usage with the task manager. In just 10 minute, and without viewing a single URL, Firefox's memory usage climbed an additional 500k. This seemed odd to me and worth atleast a mention. Now if only someone could explain _that_ feature.

Perhaps a Redshift then? C'mon, have some fun. :)
I'll take Doppler-shift for $50, Alex.
Don't take me too seriously. I'm just guessing that was what he was referring to.

Noone said PEBKAC yet?

Early, hot, and fast. Everything else is just a variable of convenience.
If prior art is no longer a reasonable defense for Linux distributors/users to fend off anti-competitive patent claims... well then that's all probably going to change a lot sooner than some competitors would like to admit.
Give you 3 guesses who.
For the first part of that; `Don't feed a coin slot.` is the morale of my story and the grease that helped bring the console into my home.
For the second part of that; It ain't the frags that worry me, it's the gibs that raise red flags with me.
It's probably just fried Sprawl that's so unhealthy. I'd be willing to bet that baked Sprawl is better for your heart.
Seriously, I always believed that _how_ one chooses to live contributes to their health more than where.
I beg to differ. I miss my jet pack.

This might not work as requested but it works for my home network and parenting needs.

If you can spare any keyboard LEDs. This little tool might help.
