Would you have sex with a married woman who is not your wife?

I suspect that those who said "yes" have never been in a loving relationship with a woman, have no or lowered respect for their mom or sister, or grew up around few or no stable long-term marriages. And even if you're a simple hormone-driven poonhound, hooking up with a married woman is bad for...

American Computer in Japan

Hey all, A friend of mine is moving to Japan for a few years, and wants me to build him a new computer. I was just in Japan a few weeks ago (so I could've bought the parts in Akihabara), so I know that a US built computer might have difficulties with the power in Japan. Ideally, some...

Once normally-functioning computer locks up randomly

Ooooh I think we're on the right track. The bad caps idea did pass through my head, and I scraped some greenish-gray stuff off a few capacitors. I'll do more digging on this subject.

Once normally-functioning computer locks up randomly

Hey everyone, A while back, I built the following computer (I'll remember as many specifics as I can): Leadtek nForce 2-MCP motherboard AMD Athlon XP 2600 ATI Radeon 9800 Promise RAID controller card (HPT372-based I think) Two WD 120GB HDs Lite on 52x CD-RW and 16x DVD drives Antec...

What was the first OS you've ever used?

Memories...roaring...back! Flying...wingman...for...Darth...Vader! That's almost me exactly. Except switch '2000' with '2003', 'Redhat 7.1' with 'Slackware 9.0', and 'Debian' with 'Slackware'.

Thoughts, feelings on Slackware Linux?

I'm in the same boat as bersl2. It can take a little more time, but once you figure out how something works, you own it. Slackware was my first distro, and I couldn't make it run initially. After flipping between distros, I learned enough to make Slackware run enough to use, and kept...

Anybody ever went fullbore into Linux and then went back to Windows?

DOS was the OS I learned on, so I've always had a thing for the command line, which Linux does WAY better than MS. I switched to Slackware from Microsoft and never really wavered at all. Regrouping after failure is very quick. I still have Windows XP installed for Rome: Total War, however...

Got an old Focus Electronic Key Pro keyboard . . . (pics)

Oh the nostalgia! I had one of those keyboards on a 486 and later a Pentium 200, and I especially liked the eight-way arrow pad for Civilization/Civilization 2! The calculator was neat, too, I think it works with the computer off. Did you get the templates with it? If so, what programs are...

What's wrong with CREATIVE?

I know you need the original CD for the original Audigy 2, but I don't know about other variants. Creative has a history of putting out some real crap, but I haven't had much trouble with them. My first Creative products were the SoundBlaster 16 w/IDE connector and a 4x CD-ROM drive. These...

Why does it all have to be so COMPLICATED!!!!!!!!!!!

It's amazing how a thread of this stupidity level lures even the most timid and infrequent posters into contributing. Linuxator, you've abused this forum with your ignorant rant. This is a resource, not a sounding board. Keep the whining and the tantrums in OT. Like drag said, you're...

Do u hate Windows

The ease/difficulty thing really varies with your expertise and computer education. Windows is common for a long list of reasons, one of which being that it's very simple for people to do more while knowing less. For example, stuff is easy to install and uninstall, but the price you pay for...

Questions about Linux and Networking.

I would recommend MEPIS linux for you, as I too shy away from most RPM distros. It's one live CD that allows you to install it to the hard drive through an incredibly simple graphical installer. Make sure you play around with it a bit before you install it, just to get comfortable. Run...

SuSE 9.2 x86_64 network install

I had the same trouble with a VIA Velocity NIC AND a SMC 1255TX NIC! I snagged the velocity module from VIA, put it on a disk, and told the SuSE installer to load it. The SMC card used the 'tulip' module.

I've determined one sole reason why I don't want to use FireFox

archcommus, you might wanna try Maxthon: http://www.maxthon.com/en/index.htm It's probably up your alley. I prefer Firefox as the default browser on most systems I work with. Cross-platform compatibility and usability is very nice. OSX at work, Windows XP at school, Slackware and friends...

Why No Apple Console System?

As you know, the iPod was Apple's recent smash hit, and now their new Mini has generated a fair amount of buzz. When you make a computer that can be described as 'cute', you've got a hit. 'Cute' wasn't the first thing I thought of when I saw it, though. Like a Rohrschach test, when I saw...
