Re: Live CD - How they can save your data.

I remembered that other people that don't have a dead motherboard, and just a windows registry problem they can't solve might be able to solve that problem by using Live CDs as a recovery tool. You are really linear in your thoughts aren't you? Ever think of being constructive and saying to try and ...

Live CD - How they can save your data.

I've read about Greg and his near encounter with suicidal computer so I decided to post about Live CDs and the way they can save your data. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ It's also a good way to check how bad the problems are. Ubuntu Linux just because it supports loads of things out of the box. St...

Buy some other card or change model. My recomendation... LE cards are equal, many times, to the lower model just under them. I recomend ...

Well! I use Ubuntu at home and I've had little to no problems with it. The problem is that your parts might not be recognized and that might happen with any distro. If you have a wi-fi card you are already starting off in shacky ground. I have one, but luckily it's supported. Your net connection can...

IDE -> Common, but not very fast. Suported by almost all computers. SCSI -> Normally need extra parts to be supported by computers now. These are the fastest HDD know to humankind. They have strange sizes since they are based on binary sizes. SATA -> An ever more common Hdd. The mix of IDE and SCSI ...

I would have recomended other systems of air cooling, but the problem remains of weight of the buggers. I h...

CSS Z level error on dropdown menus

I'm using Firefox 1.0.7 for ubuntu linux and I get a mistake in the dropdown menus in the main page. The css on the menus, particularly the Z level is lower on the menus than it is on the banner add. Just a heads up so that the page is "spiffy" as someone would say. Nice comic and wasn't t...

Re: Alternate forms of energy for your home desktop

I'd like a bycicle powered, keyboard could input some energy, a little wind, sun and rain powered computer. All things I have seen tests of, just not necessarily completed, or directioned towards the computer area. Another cool one would be this sorta complicated heatpipe/water heater that would pro...

Just scrape that off! What is the huge deal anyway?
Get some patience and print some tiny pick u like then use spray paint to put it on there!

Of course you might want to use acrylic paint to make DAM sure it doesn't come outta there!
