 | Can it be done!? I just found out about this version of Ubuntu called Ubuntu Studio (based on 7.04), and I want to know if I can do it without losing everything in /home/alex. I don't care about applications, I just want music and documents. Without insane amounts of DVDs … |
 | [QUOTE=Ancient Dragon;468927]I doubt English is his native language. You try writing in a language you don't know very well and you too will have that exact same problem. DaniWeb does not require people to be English majors or native English speakers. I've seen people born and raised here in St … |
| | You can use [icode]LPRINT[/icode], can't you? |
| | I just installed Redhat Linux 9 to play around with it. It booted into the command prompt. How do I make it so that it boots into the GUI, and then on every other boot, boots into the GUI as well (so it temporarily permanantly boots into the GUI). |
 | It's not that difficult to read. You don't really need the comments if you know what you're doing in VB. |
| | 1) Is it possible to install Ruby (the compiler) onto a flashdrive and run it on another machine without adding the registry edits? Is there like a portable copy of the compiler that I can use? I need Ruby at school, but I can't install anything. 2) I think my …  |
 | The iPhone security will always be a target for hacks, as it is such a great breakthrough; people want more. Check out Jailbreaking, Pwning, etc. your iPod touch and iPhone -- it won't stop with the 1.1.* era of Firmwares; 2.0*+ will also be hacked. It's just how computing works. … |
| | That looks nice. However, the whole buy 100 / get one free deal isn't going to benefit 3rd world countries that much at first, but as sales progress, err... IF sales progress, then the benefits will follow. It looks nice, and it's different from most laptops these days (the fat … |
| | I'm glad to see this. The AwesomeBar is a great new feature and is better than it may seem in writing. |
| | Extending this past iPods, what does this mean for the compute industry itself? Huge hard drive, and maybe RAM sizes  |
| | Err... Why don't you just make a new form (frmMsgBox)? You can just do something like: [code]frmMsgBox!Text1 = "Testing, 1,2,3" Load frmMsgBox frmMsgBox.Show[/code] You can change frmMsgBox!Text1 = "" to whatever you want the message to say. You can add buttons, an icon, etc to it. Does that work? |

| | Hello! My mother recently got a Palm Zire 31 for free, which she passed on to me, as I am a PDA user. Now, the problem: I don't have the damn cable to plug it into my computer. My camera uses the same type of cable, and allows me to … |
| | Is it possible to get a single key press without having the user press enter? So, say if you were writing a game, say an RPG, to high WASD to move. Ie: [code=python]x = getkey() if x = "w" # blah blah blah if x = "a" # blah blah … |
| | Macintosh computers are great for graphics and media professions. I love Macs because of Logic Pro as well as how great Photoshop is on them (believe me, the Windows version doesn't even compare in usability). |
| | On MacBooks, Powerbooks, and some iBooks (I think), the scroll function is using two fingers. On my new laptop, the function is scrolling with the far right of the pad. Is there an application for Windows XP that will activate this function? I have a Synaptic Touchpad. -- Alex |

 | Well, seeing as I use the "GSPACE" firefox add-in, I use about 1.6GB of 2 of my gmails accounts (I have three). The other, I am using 2%. |
| | What they're trying to say is this: Open the QuickTime Preferences diaglog and turn the feature that makes QuickTime the default player off. Now, go into Windows Explorer (start>run>explorer) and hit tools>folder options>file types and change the QuickTime settings to their defaults. You can also just do this from inside … |
| | Would it be possible? Not exactly a typical sequencer, but something like this: I would record every note on my electric and acoustic guitar, bass, drums, and piano (essentially creating samples of each instrument that I own). Then export them to .wav and organize them by folder (/data/guitar/electric/string6fret1_F.wav). Then using …  |
| | Re: dockable toolbar Probably .NET 2005 Express, if you ask me: I haven't tried... Where do you want to dock it? The bottom? |
| | Just a suggestion: you should install VS 2008. |
 | Well. Go into a terminal and post the output of: [code]top -n 1 -b[/code] (Use code tags for the output, please) You might have a runaway process that's using 99% of your memory. |

| | In your BIOS (F2, F8, or F12 when you boot up, it should say so), there's an option to start your CD/DVD drive up first. |

 | I don't have that much time, so I didn't read all of the 7 pages, but: When you view all the threads in a forum, and then go back to the main forum (ie: read all the subforum posts in the *NIX board), then press back in your browser, it …  |

| | What do you mean? You mean to get online with your machine? Just plug it into the modem, then into the ethernet port on the back of your computer. RHL should just pick up the connection and auto-connect. If I'm understanding your question.  |
 | You shouldn't post viruses on Daniweb. Especially one as terrible as Windows.  |
| | For now, until you get MSN back, you could always install Pidgin ([url]http://pidgin.im/)[/url]. It has MSN support. |

| | Linux does not use file extensions on binary files. Most applications on Linux can be installed one of three ways. 1. Through a package manager, such as Synaptic (GNOME) and Adept (KDE). 2. Through source that you can compile and build yourself. 3. Pre-built binaries, especially for your distro. I …  |

| | ...Not quite. But for now, it is. I've decided to pull out the old XP disc and reinstall Windows. I've been thinking about my motives for actually having Linux, and they just weren't enough. Pros: Open Source -- I love that aspect, a community effort to improve the product. The … |

 | If you rely on the Windows platform, the .NET field is getting better and better. Visual Studio 2008 has many new features. And, if you need to run them on Linux/UNIX, Mac OS, or even portable (soon) platforms, Mono is a great way to run them. However, I do suggest …  |
