welcome

sorry didnt see that

yeah, SD or CF is the way to go

in the past, the more expensive digital slrs etc... took CF as it was faster/bigger but now with SDHC its not such a big deal (Get an SDHC camera or else you are limited to 2gb!)

sony tend to use expensive wierd cards too

some sort of microbe - diatom?

its not in the core debian repos i dont think

:)

i added something to each

hence my comment about DEL

yeah one of the F keys or DEL

i had this same problem in xp. only a reinstall could fix it

unzip, then right click and choose merge on the .reg file

you need the 3 fixes for "directory , drive, folder"

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

it works fine, just at the lower speed

grab all the updates from MS update

i like 2003 better

yeah win2k is essentially xp with less system requirements. its NT based so most modern stuff runs on it whereas ME is dos based like 98

thats normal as it was probably made after me came out

if you use a pentoum 4 with windows 98 its the same, it just says "genuine intel 3.0ghz"

i mean, as in appearance -> desktop effects

e.g wobbly windows, spinning cube

these effects are known to make your xserver unstable.

indeed "or no reason other than cause trouble? " sounds a bit illegal

no no no no no

dont use SP3 atm - wait until its released, at the moment its a time limited beta

no

and doing so to a school pc would probably get you kicked out of school

what version and dist of linux ?

are you using the desktop effects?

its the same

at my high school there was a poster that said "use of it facilities is subject to the terms of use"

im saying its illegal because you are probably breaking your school/company "use of it facilities" contract

is HTTP allowed in the firewall?

type "setup" and choose "firewall configuration"

what version and brand of linux is it running

it says that to everyone its been that way since DW got made

dont know then

stick in the new one

then go into the BIOS and disable the integrated one (should be under something like "integrated devices" - on my pc i set it to autodetect which means it uses the addin card if present, else the inbuilt one)

the new one will look crappy first time. Thats because you havent installed the drivers yet. Might be a good idea to use ones from the manufactuers website instead of the CD.

You can get DVI to HDMI adapters . UK or USA?

yeah is AS

"Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation"

All my experience is with desktop and wireless (barcode scanners) devices and interfacing with other equipment you might find on assembly lines in manufacturing plants

You know anything about EpoS and warehouse management?

my best project was getting a load of old 486DX to run as diskless X terminals.

lens quality matters. go for the better manufactuer
optical zoom is bettter than digital zoom too

i have a 2mp olympus digital SLR . cost a fortune in 2000 but still holds its own in terms of picture quality, with most of the current midgrange point+shoot digital cameras.

you can get plain old PCI cards i think, but i think they suck

its 4.7gb because they say that 1gb = 1000mb
if 1gb = 1024mb then its less - 4.2

its normal

a) some manufacturers define a gig as 1000mb, others as 1024 mb (1024 is actually correct as 8 bits make up a byte)

b) dive sizes arent exact due to manufacturing problems

c) some operating systems cant properley use big mediums

oh. they are all standard PCI slots. You wont be able to upgrade yur graphics card then :(

it could be either. look inside - agp slots are (usually!) brown and pci-express slots are (usually!) black - you should only have 1 of them

if its not a desktop then yes, you can easialy replace it with a card with a DVI output. You wont need a very expensive one as you probably wont be playing games. First though, you would need to find out 1) how big your power supply is and 2) Whether you have an PCi-Express or AGP slot

yeah, thats probably easiest

dos, windows nt and linux can coexist but DOS MUST be first on the first drive.

Look into something called WMI. It might be able to help you.

I think all the conversations talking about bypassing proxies should be banned/removed/modded. But hey, that's just me.

(They're there for a reason, people!)

i am keeping an eye on this thread and have warned people

dont talk about that sort of thing here please

why not?

yeah, install KDE and run kdevelop in there

yeah hard drives are standard

disregard my link , they dont shop to the US
and dont mention piracy

you cant get a new motherboard and use it with your dell case, power supply or copy of windows. It wort work, they are nonstandard, proprietary components

what country are you in?

if you are UK look at www.novatech.com under the barebones section

no. ive got a 5150 (d510) and it came with a pentium4 ht and supports the D but not the Core2

no

not a card that good - too much power needed

i have successfully run a radeon x165o 256mb and a geforce 7600 256mb on my dimension 5150 (e510)

you should be able to replace the power supply on your machine. It should be standard ATX and not custom

Ask on the dell support forums, they know more than i do

http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/

they will blacklist that product code (thats if micorsoft find out but they prob will)

yeah they probaby will blacklist him if he tries to activate it or use WGA

but u wont be charged with piracy but

they could potentially charge him with breaking the terms of the EULA but its highly unlikely.

so if u have the same licence key for both the virutal and normal pc they will both stop working.

no matter what version you have (even if you get one that allows it to be emulated) - you MUST NOT run the same key on 2pcs at once (physical or virtual) you will need two different licences for vista.

no its not. its illegal - it says so on microsofts damn site and in windows itself

what happens if M$ finds out, will i be charged with piracy??

your product keys may get banned

Is your PC a dell by any chance? If so, read on

The dell 305w PSUs are incorectly labelled - that is there median not peak voltage. Also they have dual 12v rails which is nice. My dell "305w" psu runs a geforce 7600 (do not go for anything special, just the bog standard, not overclocked 256mb version)

Also, most dell power supplies since 2006 are NOT cutom any more, they are standard ATX. Ask on the dell forums.

Except that forumdude123 didn't say he/she was using Vista Home.

yes he did

have recently downloaded and installed m$ virtual pc, and installed vista premium on it.

vista home premium doesnt allow virtualisation

fine w/e

also, you can get windows updates without using windows update - just find the updates you need by googling and download them or altervatively use a program called WUD
