    How to increase swap partition?

    You can use just a swap file instead of a dedicated partition. I've done that on a couple of systems and it works fine in my testing. Basically you create a swap file, and use it as a loopback swap filesystem. A good process for this is at...

    What to use Linux for?

    If you care about gaming, or have any Windows-only apps that you really care about, don't do dual-boot. The process of rebooting to get back into your other OS is a drag. VMWare or some other virtualization software, or installing Linux on the other machine, is a great way to get your feet...

    Vista rant - transfering files to USB thumb drive

    I've also heard that file copy performance issues will be addressed in or around SP1 (fixes should be available in the normal hotfix channel as well as the SP install) I had slow copies as well, especially to/from USB drives and network shares.

    Why is the circuit breaker blowing? (tripping)

    Also, regarding the wiring codes - if you have an older property then there's no telling what's in there. Existing wiring is 'grandfathered' in and can be in violation of code. You can't ADD to it without bringing the wiring up to code but it can remain in place. Getting an electrician to...

    Why is the circuit breaker blowing? (tripping)

    Uh... that extension cord idea... probably not such a good one as a permanent fix. You might be able to find an extension cord rated for that power, but they're really not meant to be so... permanent. Space heaters are normally going to be in the 850 - 1500 watt range. Window unit air...

    How do people move there home to new land?

    I went to high school with somebody whose family did house moving. It's pricey, but if you MUST have that house... If the house will fit on a truck you just move it. If it won't then you move the pieces. And yeah, you basically reinforce the house, cut it up, move it (carefully and slowly)...

    Building a better home

    One key question is -- where you gonna put this house? In New Mexico, you can make a really good cob house. In Louisiana, not so much. Lots of the 'alternative' building processes make lots of sense in the areas where they developed -- so cob (dried clay + straw) is not a bad way to build...

    GB-PVR and Hauppage PVR 150

    I also have a PVR-150 and just started using GB-PVR. I've been using AutoGK to compress down some of my captured stuff. It seems to work pretty well, though there's a little setup on the front-side. You can target the output file size in fractional optical discs, or set a specific...

    Need remote access software

    I know you asked for free, but Fog Creek's CoPilot software is another option. https://www.copilot.com/ I think it's something like $10 for a day's use, but there's nothing to install and it's supposed to work through NAT and firewalls. I haven't played with it yet (I'm basically waiting...

    PDF File Generator

    Another happy CutePDF user here. I don't know about the licensing for commercial use, but I've never found a case where CutePDF mangled a document or otherwise broke my output (unlike OpenOffice's PDF export, unfortunately).

    Power PC

    I beliece the PPC chips are also much slower than Intel or other CPU types in terms of market revisions. For example, the more mainstream x86 chips have lots of revisions based on minor differences. PowerPC CPUs are known quantities with long production windows. Power3 hit in about 1998, and...

    Comcast, why forsake thee

    Well, a media company is a lot more likely to actually take 'em to court over a DMCA letter. A customer doesn't really represent that sort of financial risk -- unless they're inviting the ire of the MPAA or some other media conglomerate. At any rate, though, OP is aware that the game can...

    YAEBT - Yet Another eBay Thread

    That's how I got scammed not long ago. Buyer received the item, even confirmed to me in email that he had received it. Then he filed a complaint with PP saying he had never gotten the item, so they pulled the money from my account. I passed on the tracking information, his emails confirming...

    The best ~$200 laser printer???

    I've got a cheap little Samsung, I think I paid $130 retail for it, I think on a BestBuy sale. I used the 'starter' toner cartridge for about 18 months. I'm very happy with it. I think the later models have duplex capability; the lack of duplexing is the only think I don't like about the...

    My father has been hospitalized with Congestive Heart Failure

    Maybe not entirely what you want to hear, but congestive heart failure isn't neccesarily an immediate death sentence. My grandfather was diagnosed with it a couple of years ago -- on top of arterial blockages, multiple stints, diabetes and some other internal problems. Basically, with proper...

    If you cut back on your food intake a lot, will you lose the weight and fat quickly?

    Also, if you immediately cut back your caloric intake too much, you can put your body into starvation mode. Basically, your body is bright enough to think "maybe we're out of food. I'll lower my metabolism so I won't starve so quickly." What everyone else is saying -- exercise and a...

    Why are my hands always cold?

    Do you smoke? Cigarettes can constrict blood vessels, leading to cold extremeties. I got the 'good god, your hands are cold!' a lot when I smoked; now, not so much.

    What's one of the 'safer' illegal drugs?

    All drugs have side effects. Any street drug has a certain risk. Even something that's commonly considered fairly innocuous could be bad for you. Cocaine may be 'cut' with any number of things -- you can't look at it and tell if it's baby talcum powder (bad to inhale, by the way), rat poison...

    OJ + bourbon

    On the bright side, after a couple of bourbon+teas, you can move to bourbon+ice. I couldn't let you drink alone, so it's Zombie night over here. (No bourbon, but rum abounds!)

    Anyone else work in a NOC?

    Stupid suggestion - try moving around some. My body temp always bottoms out between 2:30 and 3:00 a.m., and I get lethargic a while before that. Moving around and getting my blood moving helps a lot. Warming up, though, ain't too easy if you're on a raised floor. I have no iPod, but I do...

    tired of windows want to switch to linux

    To start with you might want to just dip your toes in without the committment of a full install. Check out Knoppix -- it's a bootable Linux CD, with lots of apps and a GUI desktop. You can boot a PC from the CD and work in the Linux environment, then when you're done reboot and go back to...

    Anyone else work in a NOC?

    Night shift can be a soulcrusher. Maybe pick up some podcasts, books on tape, et c? Catch up on reading? Take a laptop and development environment and pick up a programming language? Gameboy?

    OJ + bourbon

    It might. This is how drinking history is made, sir! Actually, I don't know. If you try it, I'd love to hear about it. The black-tea flavor in sweet-tea+bourbon is part of the goodness, but your mint tea could take it in a new direction. I know sweet tea and bourbon was nicer to me when...

    OJ + bourbon

    Ick. Boubon + OJ = nasty, but I admire your spirit of adventure! Probably wouldn't be good with milk either. A friend served me bourbon and sweet tea, over ice, and it is alarmingly tasty. Bonus if you have a little mint (extract will do)

    Does anyone here do trade-in-kind for PC repair?

    How much do you charge for housecalls to fix PCs?

    I think it reall matters how experienced you are and where you're at. When I was in school, I got $25 - $75 per hour depending on client and job. Certain clients got a break, some got a higher rate, depending. The rate was also very high during certain times -- for instance, I migt fix X's...

    wtf is with southerners?

    I always had good luck with the evangelists. If it was really hot outside I'd give 'em a glass of water or something, and just let 'em know that I appreciated their concern but my soul was fine, and I considered my religion a private matter -- and would appreciate if they'd do the same...

    Weight loss tips needed

    Hard-boiled eggs are easy and you can dice them and add them to other foods. They keep for days in the fridge, so you can make several at a time, and cleanup is a breeze. Also I don't know if you cook jasmine rice but I just saw a bag of BROWN jasmine rice which at least isn't a pure carb...

    does anyone else feel this way too?

    Out of 24 hours, the conventional-wisdom average is to sleep for 8. So you have 16 hours to do with as you please. If you can, you can sleep less to get more time. You'd like to have money, so you have a job. Off the top goes 8 hours to work, 1 hour for mid-day break. We're down to 7. If...

    looking for new computer desk, need advice!

    Good desks are expensive. Depending on where you live, you may be able to pick up a desk second hand at garage;yard sales, et c.
