I tend to reinstall my OS every never. No, really.
I recently "upgraded" my system. I replaced everything but the Hard Drives and an Optical Drive. I went from a PIII to Athlon X2. Everything, including the motherboard, RAM, video card, sound card, case, whatever.
I just built the damn thing, popped my hard drive right in, powered up, and I was running. No glitches. Everything just worked. It helped that my video cards were both nVidia, admittedly.
Oh, BTW, I'm running Debian Sid.
The last time I tried to pull that shit with XP or 2K I was greeted by a BSoD on startup that even "safe" mode couldn't get rid of.
Maybe you should switch to an OS where "Swapping hardware, [and] testing drivers" doesn't automatically mean that your system is going to be unstable.
It could be that the process isn't actually a process, but a dll loaded into a process.
You'll need to get Process Explorer as explained in the above posts. Then when you find the nasty, you'll want to kill the process housing it, and then type regsvr32/u thenameofthe.dll into a cmd window. Then you'll want to move or remove the file.
From what I heard from my history teacher in high school when we were discussing this, the reason why Waldo got banned is his eyes look like tits (because he's wearing glasses.)
FLAC. It's lossless, it's unencumbered by patents, it's open source, and it compresses well, and it's supported natively by many, many media players. It's what I use for all of my audio.
CPU load is probably the least of my worries. RAM however, is a big concern. RAM affects the speed of your computer more than CPU. 30 Megs may seem like a drop in the bucket, but what happens if you have all 512 Megs in use? Or even worse, you're using Windows (which for some reason just *adores* its swapfile.) You start using your swapfile or partition, and now your computer goes from hopping to dragging along like a molasses zombie in a vat of liquid oxygen.
So next time you rip a cd kids, just flac --best -o %o --tag=Artist=%{artist} --tag=Album=%{albumtitle} --tag=Date=%{year} --tag=Title=%{title} --tag=Tracknumber=%{number} --tag=Genre=%{genre} %f
Funny, I see about 650. And even less if you specify that the URL must contain "Therms". If fact, with that second one, there are only 5 pages returned, three in French, one from a.de domain, and our very own zcodec.
I have my doubts about that. It's just a little thing. But "Therms of use" strikes me as not something an American would write... twice. (Check the url of the link.)
I'm going out of a limb and say that that's just someone registering false info. Also, there is no 17th Ave in Brooklyn.
Umm... something having a bug isn't an incredible claim. Sure, it's not a good thing but ithappenstoeveryone. It's nothing to be ashamed about. Just get the bastard fixed and stop dicking about.
This isn't about a perpetual motion machine or an entropy reducing device, or even P vs. NP or Riemann's Hypothesis. This is code. This isn't world changing. Bugs happen, then they get fixed. If they want to stay silent to dodge liability let them. If there is a bug it'll be patched, if there isn't they'll fade into obscurity.
They haven't worked on it because there hasn't been a reason to. cdrtools has been the standard forever. He happened to be the first out of the door (perhaps because of the access to burners, who knows?), and happened to become popular, abundantly so. There wasn't a need to develop an alternative. Remember kids, forking a major project is not a decision made lightly. Why split developer power if you don't have to?
Where I live, both Cable and DSL run on the same line to the outside world. So it really doesn't matter what you get, you're still bottlenecked by that one line.
Ghandi's first mission was to free India from the rule of England. He suceeded in that regard. You can't be 100% sucessful all of the time. But his success does demonstrate that a pacifist movement is not a useless gesture.
Huh? I just got done pricing storage, and if you get a $300 8-slot Hardware RAID card, plus 250s (or 300s) at around $90 a piece (You have to look to find them, but they're out there) you wind up a shave over a thousand and you get 1.75 TBs in a RAID 5. Forgo the RAID, and you can get 11 for under a grand, which is well over a TB.
Linux *can* have ntfs support in the kernel. The developers just chose not to do it that way. FAT32 support is very stable. NTFS is still in flux as Microsoft is still developing it.
From TFA, The driver currently is in BETA status: before release of this software we haven't experienced any driver crashes or data loss during our heavy quality testing, however we are aware of some minor issues which will be resolved in the near future.
It's still in beta. While it's a GPL'd beta, and probably far more stable than beta implies. It's still beta, and you should expect it to bug out from time to time (whether or not this is actually the case.)
So, if you have it when it bugs out as a kernel module you get a kernel panic. I don't like kernel panics, and you shouldn't like them either. So keeping it to the userland is probably best for now. Do you really need it as a kernel module?

F(*#$@ NO! They are *NOT* buying a license. They are buying a copyrighted work. You don't have to sign a EULA when you buy a DVD. You are, however, correct about derivative works (excepting works of parody) not being allowed under copyright.

Tangential, and in reply to Great Grandparent's assertion that memory is cheaper than CPU power.

Oh well, you win some you lose some. :)

Have you taken a look at the Satellite version of that area?
I have my doubts about that. It's just a little thing. But "Therms of use" strikes me as not something an American would write... twice. (Check the url of the link.)

Windows hasn't been a DOS Shell since 3.1
Don't get me wrong, I hate Windows as much as the next guy. But if you're going to bash at least get your facts straight.

I'm not defending his claim, I am defending mine.

Thank you for playing.
Tell that to Ghandi.
No. Nuclear Reactors get HOT. There are bacteria that can survive at 200 degrees F, sure. But we're talking around 2500 degrees and upward.

There is a difference between what should be expected of your sysadmin and what will be actually expected of your sysadmin.
One of my very first assignments when I got my job where I work now was, "Here, this is an password protected Access database. I need the password."
Shit happens, and, as far as your boss is concerned, if it involves a computer, it's your job to fix it.

This is only if the browser they are using supports link prefetching.
Last I checked, IE didn't.
What else would Microsoft employees be using? Firefox? If so that's as funny as Google.
Nevermind that the school wouldn't have to pay for the programs if they were using free (in both senses) software.
> But I don't think Weird Al is hurting for money...
While this may be true, it doesn't mean that the record labels are morally in the right by screwing him out of it.
And personally, I'd rather see Weird Al with sickeningly large gobs of cash than the RIAA.
You don't have to be neutral to be right. In fact, if you're completely neutral in an argument that has a right and a wrong, you'll always be wrong.
