why don't you just go back to your geek's lounge threads and leave the linux forum alone.

That's the funniest thing I've seen (not really, but it's close)

>At my age I need to focus on one new thing at a time.

how old are you?

he's probably some twelve year old. I found this translator. english to 12-year-old, but no the other way around. http://www.sitinthecorner.com/binary/aolertranslator.html

i don't know, how about right there?

if you were a company that made software for consumers, wouldn't you write it for the most used operating system? Windows has been dominant for a very long time. There are plenty of applications that...

>I'm dubious.

well it's true. windows has been the dominant OS for a very long time, and if you look at a lot of the linux software, it's also available for windows and mac, most of the time.

>I am even willing to bet money that there is more software for linux than for microsoft

That's incorrect, there is more software available for Windows than for any other operating system.

fedora is buggy in my expirience, i've had better luck with SLED 10. you should definetly give debian a try, it's very easy to install, it'll run quite fast.

you know, that's taking advantage of them. And it's true many companies do hire a lot of programmers from abroad, but there's something about hiring a programmer here. I don't know, but there is a...

that was a pretty lame comment, lardmeister. A computer science major, going out of college will start at an average salary of 70,000 a year, with a BS. Master and a PhD will get $100,000 to $120,000...

operating systems and computer architecture might be very interesting, but not usefull to your field. I agree with Duki, i'd take databases, as that will probably help you more.

one time i spent a whole day trying to make fedora core 4 look like osx. what a waist of my time that was. So i installed dreamlinux and it looks similar to osx, so that's what i'd do instead fo...

on your router, are you using any type of security? if you go to the settings you can check on the wireless settings.

have you tried changing the router settings? do you use WPA or WEP?

is that really hard to do? no, would he learn a lot from doing it? yes.
what you suggest, flashp the firmware on the router is more dangerous and might actually take longer.

It would be so much easier if you just replaced the switch with the router.

you would want to replace the switch with the router. To do what you suggested, you would have had to have bought an Access Point, it looks like a router, but it's not, it only provides a wireless...

> um, why not just burn them to cd or dvd and mail them by recorded delivery ?

it would take them quite a few dvd's, or a couple blu ray discs, (blu ray is way too expensive).

if you get the blue screen of the death, or this specific one, it's either your ram that's damaged or it's your memory slot.

you have to adjust the settings on the ftp server so that it allows bigger files to be sent. i think you're also using way too much bandwidth, so this could be a problem also.

you should reset your router and make sure you're forwarding the necesary ports.

don't trust ebay, unless you're desperate for something.

well, refubished says it all. it's probably to late now, but i would have exchanged it.

This post has had more views than any other one in this category. I should get a price or something

you don't turn aero on, it's just a theme. But like i've said before, aero compared to xgl is like comparing a pentium mmx to core 2 duo extreme, one sucks the other one is awesome. there are so many...

Aero doesn't actually use system memory or cpu power, that's why you need the high end card. it eats up the video cards resources not the systems, unless you have an onboard motherboard. 1Gb of ram...

Yes you can. I actually figured out how to do it. Once you get the drivers for your card, right click on the destkop and click personalize (I hate how they changed everything). Then you want to go to...

ISP's don't provide you with a MAC address, the NIC has it built in, so it'll never change and there's not 2 NIC's with the same address.

you're welcome

you can right click on the home folder and see how much free space you have.

hey joey, are you trying to steal it?

I dont' think you can change the address your ISP is giving you. But if you say that it's dynamic it should change. I would talk to your ISP about this.

i'm interested. but how about lowering the price a bit?

This is a little bit off topic, but how much is the limit of keys for xp? I have a friend who has reformated his computer so many times, that his key no longer works. well, sucks for him.
