Choosing the ordinary English version (not the en-US) of the torrent gets you the Polish version.... argh!!!! and the non-torrent version gives you a file not found error... oh heck, email to webmaster time...

Well, you're not specific on what the problem is, but if the wheel's going dead, try passing "psmouse.proto=imps" to your kernel at boot to force it to identify as a wheelmouse despite what the flaky kvm's doing. (Add it to the "kernel" line in your/boot/grub/menu.lst or the "append" line in/etc/lilo.conf, depending on which bootloader your distro uses) If the mouse itself freaks, you could try "psmouse.resetafter=1" and that will force a reset of the ps2 interface after the specified number of bad packets. Sometimes when you're dealing with wonky hardware, it's good to remember that/usr/src/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt is your friend.
The mouse goes completely bonkers with the pointer zipping about all over the place and various mouse buttons being "pressed" at random.
kernel-parameters.txt... in seven years of using Linux, I've never, ever had the need to compile it and thus have never had those docs on my systems. Ho hum... let's fire synaptic up and see what I've been missing all these years.
oh, I tell a lie, I have compiled a kernel once... Gentoo, mind you, all I did was follow the Gentoo instructions and everything automagically worked... without any input from me for any kernel modules etc. See, even Gentoo is basically foolproof (provided you actually follow the instructions)
I don't do "Windows"... I have two boxes under my desk, both on, one running Ubuntu 6.06, the other running Ubuntu "Whatever the next version in 2007 will be"... I don't like pissing around with VNC... it works, but is crap when you've got 1280x1024 desktops with 3D running...
this is FUD as usual from Microsoft... an all-out patent war is not in their general interest... the mere "threat" of a patent lawsuit however, is... you do realise that if Microsoft actually were stupid enough to sue a Linux customer for infringing one of their fatuous patents, then the resultant gotterdamerung as all interested parties suddenly find patents that microsoft customers themselves are infringing on would be highly amusing...
how much are you willing to bet the clocks in those SUVs were flashing 12:00... and if you wanted to change the language for the displays you'd have to wade through several pages of badly translated manuals... my new CD player I installed the other month in my car has language options for the display... I kid you not... the bloody thing defaults to German... It took me a day to find out how to change that...
this is the other half of the article that is already on the front page... mind you, it probably makes more sense to discuss it as two separate articles
I take it this has nothing to do with the other meaning for KVM, Keyboard, Video, Mouse switches... there I was thinking that my Belkin KVM switch was finally gonna work properly (I have two mice connected as the switch cannot switch the mice correctly)
So, we officially need to find a replacement word for the first A in RIAA, because it doesn't standa for Artists anymore. I suggest something like this:
Follow the link and be amazed... the Artists DO NOT feature in the RIAA's thoughts at all, they're only concern is for the publishing rights holders as in the publishers, not the artists.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is the trade group that represents the U.S. recording industry. Its mission is to foster a business and legal climate that supports and promotes our members' creative and financial vitality. Its members are the record companies that comprise the most vibrant national music industry in the world. RIAA members create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 90% of all legitimate sound recordings produced and sold in the United States.
The issue comes when the kids wants to load on some Windows software that all their friends are using, then suddenly the operating system matters dramatically.
actually it's the other way round... my teenage daughter's friends all want to have the cool games and programs she's got on her Ubuntu laptop... she's already set several of them up as dual boot systems...
* Much of the time it is night, and storing that much juice in batteries is impractical.
to put it politely, bollocks... I run my sailboat electrics entirely off solar and wind generation.... I just made damned sure I have enough banks of deep cycle batteries to cope with extended periods of low wind, low/no light...
If I was going to do the same thing for a self sufficient house, then I would design in enough insulation in the first place to reduce heating/cooling costs. There's all sorts of other passive methods of trapping solar heat in the winter and cooling the building in summer that can be built in as well.
What's required though, is political will to go with this solution... the energy companies won't go with it as you won't be buying energy from them... it's not in their interest for Joe Public to have self sufficient houses, and they will lobby mightily against it...
by energy companies, I'm including fossil fuel suppliers as well, LPG and Petrol/oil. There's nothing to stop you from having extra capacity in your garden to run your electric car from...
City dwellers have a problem... and it will be up to city operators to design in the infrastructure to have banks of solar cells to support the needs of the city occupants.. of course, the nimbies will try their best to nix the siting of the solar arrays...
Hydrogen conversion has its own inefficiency, so that's out.
when the energy supply is completely free ie. it comes from the sky, all you have to do is capture it... how do you propose storing it? there are too many people who're only seeing the problems here... We don't want problems... we want solutions... this major leap in efficiency has to be taken advantage of...
We received an email from a kernel developer insisting that we cease distributing the livecd with these drivers as he claimed they were a violation of the Linux kernel GPL license.
SunOS kernel and GNU software. We use Debian/Ubuntu - one of the best existing software distribution/packaging mechanisms - to glue the numerous pieces together.
I'm actually considering doing the gnu/solaris route, thanks for the link...
And now I'd like to return you to your regular programming...
and I was able to read the article first... just hope they're not gonna be bean-counted to death on this one... those auditors are already sharpening up their knives to trim the budget... I'd hate to see an astronaut die because things were cut too fine...
Putin is just too smart to kill someone in such a blatant way. He would have known that such a gruesome murder would have serious negative consequences.
the one where the baddies were trying to make the Russian leader look weak, but then again, I've probably got confused with some other spy movie series...
When was our last ethical president in office? Jimmy Carter, maybe. But at least Gates isn't a coke-snorting, drunk, or a shady land deal who uses his power to put interns in questionable positions, or makes backdoor, pre-election day deals with radical Muslims, or secretely bombs countries that we've not gone to war with, and so on. I mean, this century has seen some pretty unethical presidents.
This century??? This century has only seen one president proper (and no you don't get to count the one who was in power at the start of 2000)
Get with the program... we're now in the 21st century, not the 20th
usability problems with the original Gnome interface. At one point, realising that most of the usability issues were attributable to Gnome, which had taken three months to configure, staff ripped out Gnome and replaced it with KDE. The new interface was up and running within a week.

I think you mean Kowtow, not cow-tow... nothing to do with towing cows at all... see here. Kowtowing is making a grand abasement to a superior officer... prostrating yourself touching your forehead to the ground

this is microsoft innovation in action... coming up with tech to fix the symptoms instead of actually fixing the problem...
It never stood for "Artists" in the first place... It for "association"... as in "Record Industry Association of America"
Follow the link and be amazed... the Artists DO NOT feature in the RIAA's thoughts at all, they're only concern is for the publishing rights holders as in the publishers, not the artists.
wtf, where's the exploit??? This is just an announcement of a weakness... TFA calls it a Zero-Day Flaw...
about as much sense as the square root of -1 does... that concept has proved highly useful...
GNU/Solaris especially if, as rumored, Sun put Solaris under the GPL
