The modem is already mine ... I think I originally purchased one from the ISP (it was a good price) about seven or eight years ago. Then the network had a speed/DOCSIS upgrade and the modem needed swapping to a newer model, which the ISP provided for free to me. They're actually a good...

I thought about that, and there is actually an entry on the modem's diagnostic page that mentions something about number of computer connections allowed being two. But I don't think that is the case -- the desktop is the original device that the modem would have been accessed with ... unless...

Its worth a shot ... maybe there is even a freezer trick for modems and routers like there is for hard drives LOL.

Yellowstone was very enjoyable. Yes, very large park, so impossible to see everything ... you'd likely want to explore various sections over a number of trips (four or five?) and then choose which you'd like the best and then focus on those areas in future. Yeah, very crowded in many areas...

Late to the thread but: I watched it, with a few other people, in the path of totality from the junction point of a dirt road and a tertiary highway in what can only be described as Itchycroth Idaho ... it was apparent that some of the locals were not taking to kindly to all us foreigner folk...

I'll add that I don't know what the pin assignments are on the cabling ... is there a lone wire in the pairs that carries "internet" signal? Again, in all other regards that I can see, the cabling and devices are working fine .... its just the blasted outside world signal for the interent.

Before I went on vacation, I unplugged all non essential electricals, including computer stuff ...however, I forgot to disconnect the actual cable line from the modem. The connection topology is as follows: big bad internet --> cable modem --> router ---> wired connection to desktop and...

I'll be in Idaho for it and then off to Jellystone

I'm not the only one bringing this to attention either. Example: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2856797 I still haven't figured out how to fix it. I seriously don't want to spend the time on this crap.

That's not the problem ... bookmarks are still there (I now have to access them via "Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks" and when the "Library" opens, I need to click on "Bookmarks Toolbar" ... that is very inconvenient) The problem is in the browser's GUI. I have a menu bar (which also contains a...

I've had these for a while now and can provide a qualified opinion of them: battery life is crap ... but that was expected ... I get maybe 4 hours of music time battery recharge time is good ... haven't timed it, but I'd say it only takes about an hour and a bit before they indicate they're...

That sums it up right there -- its increasingly taking quite a bit of effort to maintain it in a way that is familiar and desirable.

Me too. I do not want to spend large amounts of time every few releases trying to restore functionality that previously existed. Installing FF31 yesterday has completely removed my folders and bookmarks from whatever bar its called. Empty. Blank. Nada. Fucking idiots. Nothing is...

Yi carumba! OUCH! Okay, well that's good ... though, if they had also started treating you for kenel cough, I'd be a little bit concerned about the prognosis

I suspect this is indeed the case -- that outside the US, its not necessarily pleasant and/or easy experience. I got dragged into helping someone out with a Lenovo claim (which more or less had transformed itself into a difference of opinion between what the Lenovo reps thought they (Lenovo as...

me too ... with a passion err, I would rather like to imagine that most AfterStep users would think that they had died and gone to software heaven .... or realized that they've been stuck in a 1990s UI timewarp for the past 15 or so years ...

Did you get kicked in the nuts by one of your Sherpa's lamas?

810 and 815 chipsets lost their (DRI1) Mesa driver a couple of years ago, so the experience with such hardware would be craptacular. Fortunately for sedrosken, the 865 part is indeed covered under the umbrella provided by the classic i915 Mesa driver. The intel X and drm/kernel drivers should...

I do not know if this will be helpful to you given I'm not clear as to how functionable your device currently is, but you can use adb (Android Debug Bridge) to do a full backup and restore (it does not require rooting or 3rd party ROMs). To be able to use adb you must enable usb debugging on...

Nor I ... also really tired of seeing the blatant promotion of the new movie all over the place (like guest appearances of "Ron Burgandy" on TSN, etc, etc, etc.)

That is useful!

In the olden days, you wouldn't have cared about a release date, you'd have just gotten the elves to make it for you .... you've changed Santa, you've changed. :sad:

I'm looking forward to the end results of the LXDE and Razor-Qt merger

Thanks for the feedback Mercutio. somewhat related to that, for one of the pairs I read about (I think it was the Go2s), adjusting the volume from the headset produces a short momentary/disruption/pause in playback yeah, good idea. Incidentally, I came across something yesterday that suggests...

1. Firefox ... works for me. No real reason to change. 2. Chromium ... mainly for tweatdeck....seems all right for browsing, but find I'm more effective with firefox because of configurations etc. 3. on occasion, something esoteric like Konqueror Linux .... So seldom use Windows any more.

Did you end up picking them up yet? I too am looking for a BT set for working out/running (though haven't ruled out just getting some wired ones either). From what I have read, the battery life and sound quality on the jaybirds seems to be the pros for them. But looking at the cons, the price...

I see some things never change (ASUS modis operandi: pretend the problem doesn't exist) ... About the only good reports I know of, with respect to "ASUS" and "RMA" being mentioned in the same sentence, are in relation to the Nexus 7 .... the Google man must wield a big stick

The Northbridge/chipset getting adequate cooling?

You old luddite! :-D

Yes The gpu on that should be a Southern Islands (SI / GCN) arch. This is in regards to the prop. drivers. OSS drivers are a different discussion. In any regard, I think much of that "perception" is a lot of crap that continues to perpetuate (no different than any other case that you may...

Ignore my previous comments ... they are on youtube (usual youtube grabbers need apply) I like "The Defiler" ... its like Holst's Mars .... on a really bad hair day and after a large dose of steroids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY3ENHur4Tw

Use Kazam - set the "region" of the desktop - use mp4 codec .... webm option doesn't do (bug) region for some reason for me, whereas the former is capable of both (entire and region) - set it on 2 frames per sec -- garanteed to catch the correct elapsed time - set audio to appropriate "monitor...

Here's an example of a slice being fitted onto an X220. Note that once the slice is in place, it precludes the ability to dock the laptop ... obviously not a concern when you are mobile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wYIHfjNA3A

I have no idea of what name Toshiba's marketing dept may have conjured up for it :)

Sorry to read about your cat jtr. Hopefully you won't have to deal with any flooding!

Slice batteries are those that connect via the docking port on the bottom of the unit.

Personally, I would have gone with Kermit, Hulk, and Yoda :alien:

Yeah, he's got some other stuff that might come in handy if you need to do further work on this system: http://aplawrence.com/Linux/scolindiff.html Here is another link that has a little bit of useful info about the bootloader http://www.linuxmisc.com/1-linux-setup/8f7beb2da5868820.htm (I...

Why don't you work around the login by booting the system with a boot disk (like a systemrescue type), mount the partition(s), copy the data off them, and then view it later in the system of your choice?

Gotowhatever said they were working on a Linux client seven centuries ago ... I haven't checked recently, but I'd imagine the status is still the same

Thanks for sharing Kevin. Difficult times.

Well, its still terra firma ! ... In any regard, besides Pelee Island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelee,_Ontario), you can still sneak under the 42nd on the main land too (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Pelee ) ... and given the centre coordinate value for the municipality of Leamington...

I'll have you know that my province's southern most point is lower then your state's northern most point -- take that you slack jaw yokel ! :-D

I'm not clear on the topology you are attempting ... do you mean all three users will be at the desk at the same time? Or are they coming and going, and there would only be one user at the desk at any one time to which you wish to have connected to the docking station? (with this latter case...

I had no idea what Cthulhu was until Cartman joined forces with him and together they smote Justin Beiber http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEg2VSsKtek

Has this been mentioned? : iPhone 5 wifi bug: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=27858

Issue? What issue? That should be heavily promoted as part of the feature set. Just think of the potential rise in productivity that could be achieved in the overall economy if this was standard issue. By Jove, Apple has found the solution to the global economic crisis! :-D

I played with a friend's Nexus 7 for about half an hour today -- first hands on experience with it. Although that's a terribly short amount of time to form any sort of conclusive opinion, in genreal, I enjoyed what I saw. They are still pretty hard to get a hold of (still in low supply /...
