I got Lubuntu installed at the moment. It is much faster than my old install and I am very pleased. I havnt tried using any different interfaces and stuck with the default so far. I tried the "netbook" edition of the Lubuntu interface. Which was very disappointing So I may try Jolicloud, it...
I had thought of just Upgrading to 2GB of RAM and possibly getting an SD card to use for ReadyBoost. But its £40-£50 by the time its finished which is a rather costly upgrade.
I am definitly going to give Enlightenment a try on top of Ubuntu. Will be a good bit of fun either way!
I had been toying with trying XP. Not really sure why I hadnt tried it. I guess I'm stuck using x64 OS' for some reason. I may try XP or Server 2003 when I've got some time to shoehorn it onto this netbook. :)
I am currently running a Netbook that I use for web browsing and note taking in lectures and while out and about at University. Currently I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I am finding it rather sluggish. I have also tried, and currently have installed, Ubuntu 10.04, which I find to be...
I guess its got a bit of sequel syndrome. It has to be far better than its predecessor just to appear half as good. I don't think it lived up to it personally. I played Bioshock through on every platform just for the hell of it. Bioshock 2 I havnt been compelled to pick it back up for another...
Looks like PTNA is down. Never got an e-mail from the owners about it but it has probably been shutdown. Its sister site tnaflix (also NSFW) is still up however.
When I want to ensure I will still be able to read my computer documents in thousands of years time, I paint them with sheeps blood on the wall of a cave.
I guess paper is good for things that are ment to be on paper, but program code? really? I wouldnt want to be the poor sod typing all that...
The biggest problem with the FPS' in the picture is that they are all trying to emulate the success of CoD4. IMO CoD4 was a great game. Revolutionized its particular sub-genre, that is 'Realistic' FPS. What has happend since CoD4's release is that this genre has become far more popular, its...
I played the DCU beta on the PS3, frankly I was disappointed.
It was like they had just shoehorned the PC game on to the PS3. most text was unreadable on my 1080p TV and I could not make head nor tail of the controls with the pad. Might have been better with a keyboard and mouse I suppose, but...
Could also be a PSU problem, but if you no issues running other games then I find this improbable, but not impossible. Battlefield is more system heavy than the Fallout games from experience. It could be that 2GB of RAM is limiting it also.
Setpoint is a load of shit. I don't know if your mouse is the same as my G9, but because it stores the profiles in the mouse with the G9 you can edit those profiles using setpoint on a non mission-critical system and have them stick.
Personally I wish I could disable them for just Firefox. I...
I've dealt with a virus like this before. It would block execution of HijackThis, and many other security software's like MBAM. It didn't take me long to figure out that it was filtering exe's by name, rather than with any actual scanning process.
Try changing the name of the program you are...
I have a Core 2 Duo E7200. Running at 3.16Ghz with 4GB of RAM. I'm starting to notice the latest games not running all that well at times. But I think this will do for probably the next 2 years. Seeing as its going to require a whole new system to upgrade anywhere, I may as well wait as long as...
You could also use a Dynamic DNS service such as no-ip.com.
This will allow you to access your camera by a domain name like "bignateyk.no-ip.com", or something similar.
I used to use this when I hosted Teamspeak and CoD servers for my friends. Was much easier for them to remember rather than...
I'd like to see a "Windows Classic" theme that does not look like a complete load of ****! I find Windows 7 to be fairly decent for what I do. But I find myself sacrificing battery life on my netbook by running Aero because the Basic and Classic themes look horrible.
I'd also like to see them...
Personally I keep my PC in standby most of the time. Everything is as off as it is when I shutdown. The fans don't keep me up at night which is the main reason for turning off the computer. I don't know if there are any reasonable energy savings, but you must be saving some energy, whether you...
