    What is the difference between Defender and MSE? My Windows 8 computer has Endpoint Protection on it, which looks a lot like MSE.

    Xubuntu 12.10

    I've never used Enlightenment. Looks like it's still an actively developed WM. I just installed Dolphin, it's a much better file manager than any others that I've used.

    Xubuntu 12.10

    I was just playing with Catfish. I'm not impressed. It's terribly slow, the UI locks up while performing a search, and I need to type *s for some reason. I just want to press CTRL-F, type part of a filename, and get results.

    Xubuntu 12.10

    I'm fine with it if I'm currently using the command line, but if I am in the file manager I don't want to have to switch to the command line. Both Mate (Gnome 2.0) and KDE support this in their file managers out the box.

    Xubuntu 12.10

    I also installed the Steam beta client (AKA Mercutio's Bane). I don't own any games, but maybe I'll buy something for the hell of it. Any recommendations? This system is not all the high powered (Q6600, GeForce 8600 GT), so I don't know if any games will run very well.

    Xubuntu 12.10

    The Ubuntu Sofware Center is also one of the nicer package managers I've used. This isn't specific to Xubuntu though. It is weird seeing software with a pricetag attached though.

    Xubuntu 12.10

    I just installed Xubuntu 12.10 on my main desktop. Installation was very straightforward and everything seems more polished and integrated than Linux Mint (several versions old) that was on here before. The only things missing for me are an application launcher that I can type into to find...

    iPhone syndrome

    You may be able to do this with Amarok. There's a Windows version, but no idea if it's any good. I've only used the Linux version, which is fine.

    Windows 8

    I'm testing out a beast of a laptop for work (Dell Precision M4700 32GB RAM 512GB SSD I7-3820QM) with Windows 8 on it. I'm not terribly impressed by Windows 8. After I got Classic Start Menu installed it's a little better. There's just a lot of little stuff that's different, and not in a good...

    Video Card

    Both of the 640 cards are quite a bit more than I wanted to spend. I really only want to be able to watch 1080p video without stuttering.

    Video Card

    This is beautiful, not confusing at all for consumers. From Wikipedia it looks like the 28nm 630 supports VP5, but the 40nm 630 only supports VP4.

    Video Card

    Thanks for the info on PureVideo. It looks like the current onboard video supports VP2. I need to enable experimental GPU acceleration to get GPU acceleration in VLC or use a different media player. Is there anyway to tell how much post-processing power these various cards have?

    You are not in any danger, just that something that you might want to download will have been removed before you get a chance to download it. http://torrentfreak.com/usenet-feels-the-heat-as-copyright-holders-try-to-strip-away-content-121109/
