Have 12.04lts installed on my desktop and laptop (dual boot systems), but rarely boot because unity just pisses me off .. lol

  2. They'll be watching you on Windows 8 Won't Play DVDs Unless You Pay For the Media Center Pack · · Score: 1

    To buy media center means that you will probably have to purchase through the MS app store .. this means you will have to both create and login to a windows live account and ultimately may end up needing to be logged in to access the media center app.

  7. Does NOT support 64bit guest OS on Review of Sun's Free Open Source Virtual Machine · · Score: 2, Informative

    not yet, maybe in the future. You can run virtualbox in a 32bit or 64bit host, but can't run a 64bit guest OS.

  8. comcast vs utopia on Comcast Offers 50 Mbps Residential Speeds · · Score: 1

  9. Read some of the Ubuntu forums on Ubuntu May Be Killing Your Laptop's Hard Drive · · Score: 5, Informative
  10. UltraVNC + tightvnc on Is Showmypc.com an Open Source Pretender? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Create a distributable exe via http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html You can set it for connection ports, etc .. all you need after that is any vnc that is running in listener mode. client runs the exe that was created, connects to the listener machine and displays the remote desk. Client closes exe at teh end of the session and session is teminated and can't be reinitiated from the listener end. Goes through firewalls, routers, etc .. Total cost = 0 .. No additional login info needed .. I used to have my clients config vnc server and make connections that way, this is much easier and more secure for them.
