No? Okay, here's a quick recap: Basically it starts off with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates on a stage in front of a white back drop. Jobs says "Hello, I'm a dork" and then Gates says "Hello, I'm also a dork". At this point, I come on screen and begin kicking the crap out of both of them...

Of course, Ubuntu being a Gnome desktop, dd would have to add Konqueror (a native KDE app) and its KDE libraries and dependencies.

Maybe you have bats in the walls. I'm not kidding either -- I once lived at a place that had just such. My roommates and I started hearing squeaking sounds and what not. It, first, took a while to figure out exactly where the sounds were coming from, and then, second, even more time to...

How about TB and the WebMail addon ... and while I'm at it, the Get Mail addon for FF is useful too.

This is precisely why I always turn off indexing/search tools -- they are absolutely pointless to me. I have, though, read some user scenarios (library or archive type environments) where they make very good sense -- like when titles of articles aren't very informative as to the actual subject...

Have a look through the following to see if there is anything pertaining to your needs: - http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/howto/fedora-core-6-vmware-tools-install.html - http://pubs.vmware.com/server1/vm/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=vm&file=tools_gsx.html -...

I saw that, but would rather just be done with the scrolling altogether.

No one has mentioned that there are likely different panel types involved. For example the 22" Dell uses a TN panel (the lowest of the lows in the LCD panel world) whereas the the big guys use S-IPS panels (the supposed creme de la creme of the LCD panel world). How much of a cost difference...

I searched mozillazine forums and knowledgebase on the weekend, but I didn't spot anything related to turning off the tabs scrolling feature. Now I'm sure that some people really love this feature, but I find that it actually slows down / impedes my browsing activities. So, as the title puts...

I've recently been using the beta releases of TB 2.0 and it seems really nice. My needs are pretty simplistic, so I don't know if it would meet the needs of others, but I'm quite happy with the clean ups and UI changes. Prior to this, I was getting ready to ditch TB for good, as it was really...

sorry dave, I misread your above post -- had it in my head that you were saying "I need a outdoor antenna cause I'm 30 miles away from the towers!" Its hard to say whether your obstructions will affect you or not -- antennas are all about trial and error. How the demodulator of your receiver...

One of the external links from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_shaping maybe? Incidently, I had this bookmarked for some reason. After seeing your request I looked for it. After finding it, I read it. After scanning/reaading it, I don't think it would interest you ... doesn't really...

30 miles is nothing dd. In real estate, they say the key thing is location location location. With antenna's the key thing is elevation elevation elevation, line of sight line of sight line of sight .... which, really, is the just the same thing as location location location when it all...

I think IE7 is a lot better then IE6 (that isn't saying much though now is it), but I did run into a problem with page handling, as Merc alluded too somewhere above. Actually, the problem is with printing some forms from a vendors website that works fine IE6, but on IE7 the page layout is not...

Buck, Antec is dropping 1394 on their new cases in favour of eSATA, with the express intention of it being hooked sup to a mobo sata header (takes care of one layer of apeness...just have to worry about the chipset in the external enclosure, as in Doug's example). see here for info...

Just a thought too, as I know you like toys, and might find this very interesting, have a look at the HDHomeRun. Essentially, its an embedded network device with twin receivers.

MDP-130 is a good card (and it may indeed be perfect for your situation), BUT there are a number of points about it that any buyer should consider, and to be honest, I feel the limitations it has far out way its niceties. eg. cost, no 3rd party application support, presently Windows only, no...

Plextor Denies Plan to Cease Optical Drive Production This reminds me of this case Seems like there are a greater number of false reports being generated these days. Here I'll start one: "Microsoft recalls all shipments of their new Vista operating system from retail distribution! AP...

Here's one for Joe: Cheaper_LEDs_from_Breakthrough_in_Zinc_Oxide

Ah, so it isn't my end this time ... I've noticed a number of them too lately (especially today when I tried to reply to time's post -- literally took twenty minutes or so)...I was thinking that it might have been DNS issues again on my side (one day soon I ought to fix my hosts file or just add...

DV yes ... but HDV is a different beast that happens to use non-square 4:3 pixels See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDV I goofed time. While the image recorded is indeed 1440x1080, because the non-squrare, 4:3, PAR (pixel aspect ratio), for fullscreen playback with proper image geometry on a...

There are several other 24 inch monitors too (HP, Benq, Apple,...) but perhaps you excluded them because they aren't available to you? (is this what you meant by "in practical terms"?).

Chances are that its 1440x1080 .... 1920x1080 is just becoming available to the consumer (prior to this there are 1440x1080 HDV cams that will circumvent the tape and actually output from the sensors a 1920x1080 signal, but only if you're tethered to a PC or capture deck via HD-SDI or HDMI ...

They can indeed -- its called wear leveling, and it can be implemented by either a controler embedded in the device or at the file system level (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_levelling). dd wrote: (the Corsair's) "speed sucks...but it's better than this. Why?" I would speculate that...

Or you could buy a 3rd party fitted aluminium block solution ... there might actually be a future for my Zalman yet!

I wasn't aware till recently that SCO is/was used by two diferent entities, so perhaps this has clouded/aided to the confusion as to MS dealings From - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDOS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR-DOS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldera_Systems -...

From the gag is off: Samba's Allison talks turkey on the MS-Novell deal, (but quoted out of order for contextual effect):

Ususally with a package manager that handles the format the software packages are delivered in (rpm, deb etc...) What you d/l'ed was a compressed archieve file. It could contain anything -- the software could be already placed in package format (in which case you could just extact the files...

More accolades to Hans Zimmer: Just listened to "A Small Measure Of Peace (The Last Samurai Soundtrack)" ... very nice....still haven't seen that (adaptation of the) movie yet.

Lets consider DTV “Capture” Cards/Devices Recall that a transmitted DTV signal is really nothing more then a Transport Stream that has been modulated onto an RF carrier wave. In turn, DTV cards/devices are really nothing more then network interface devices that recover TS – its the exact...

Before I begin - when reading what's to follow, don't lose sight of the forest from the trees ... or is that trees from the forest? Whatever. I'm gonna be presenting an overwhelming amount of info here --- or at least it will be overwhelming at first if you get caught up in all the details and...

What I'm doing is actually just slapping together the info I've already written from a bunch of posts on AVS, htpcnews etc. Unfortunately, its a slower process (i.e. making a cohesive description from disjointed segments) then I thought it would be -- I seem to end up doing a fair amount of...

And at that, you can only receive the unencrypted channels with any PC based DTV cards/devices, as the current lot are incapable of performing any type of conditional access that your provider would have in place on the encrypted premium content channels. Yes, it is. But once you become familar...

For any type of input signal feed into any type of tv/capture card, the signal flow and processes which must occur are pretty much the same, albiet with some variation depending upon the application (i.e. digital vs analog; software vs hardware). Making and understanding the distinctions of...

Not quite ... (besides the fact that the d/l DVD is 3.7GB)

No, but it looks and sounds interesting .... hope the commentary isn't supplied by "celebrity" actors

Saw Merc's high "score" just after I posted, so I tried again. Just a shade faster 48s, but more volitility: 450-530KBps. And now I have to go deal with that quickly multiplying rodent infestation I have on my harddrive ... out you darn blue squirrels!

Saw Merc's high "score" just after I posted, so I tried again. Just a shade faster 48s, but more volitility: 450-530KBps.

Bounced around between 460-510KBps, took 49s, ~474KBps avg.

Thanks Kevin, that was a good presentation...surprising how effective a simple trap method such as that can be ...(if ever there was an appropriate time for the label, now would be perfect to coin it as being nothing more then "ghetto") .... unfortunately, its probably as equally surprising as...

6Mbit line, used kget ... d/l speed bounced around a lot btw a pitiful 50-100KBps, though the avg was probably ~70-80KBps (forgot to check sorry) ... linux:~ # traceroute storageforum.net traceroute to storageforum.net (69.57.180.83), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 10.43.52.1 (10.43.52.1)...

Yes, I have seen this too, albeit infrequently. When it does occur, it seems to happen when I'm using a quotation in a reply. I've found that randomly clicking all over the screen will sometimes bring the cursor back...other times no such luck.

In no particular order: no reviews trolls and retards trying to promote their political or religious agendas, or whatever as hard drives, in general, and the systems, that they are being placed in , have improved, actual bottlenecks on the desktop due to hard drive performance have become, well...

Great! Now all you just have to fix is the 5 month edit window (so I can go back and change everything foolish I've said): I said what? Man, you're mistaken. You got me all wrong! I never said anything of the sort. Go check the thread and see for yourself. :p

I happened to spot something of interest today in openSUSE: /usr/share/dosbootdisk/floppy.gz "Is that what I think it is?" I says to myself. Yep, it is. I notice in Yast > System, that there is also a "Boot or restore floppy" selection which then gives you a choice of d/l'ing about 8 or 9...

I don't know if it was necessarily Shuttleworth himself, but certainly Ubuntu/Canonical's marketing dollars have. And while I like several things about Ubuntu, I realize that most of the hype about Ubuntu is just that - hype. But in approaching the idea in the manner that he has, he hasn't at...

Actually, its a little known fact that the English language was derived from us Canadians ... All you illiterate types just copied us :p

Just to add a further tidbit to Mark's info: Keep in mind that the quoted usb2 speed (480 Mbps or ~57.2 MBps) is the theoretical transfer limit. In real practice, you'll get much lower results ... best I ever achieved (when I've actually taken the time to benchmark the transfer rate) was a...

Speaking of Mr.T, flipping through channels the other night, I spotted him on some show. Initially I thought it was about him being a motivational speaker for a bunch of used car salesmen....but after a minute of watching I decided that it was probably more likely a case that the premise was...
