thats a cool name. might get confused with conundrum though (a problem)

A ruby project management system?

Rubyforge maybe?

If you want a good web based SQL database admin tool then take a look at phpmyadmin

Ive got linux (CentOS and Debian Etch) as well as XP running XAMPP (easy lamp system) and Abyss Web Server. Abyss is great btw as it gives ASP.NET capability to systems without IIS like XP home.

yeah, sometimes routers cut you off if they believe you are using an unfair share of its bandwidth by doing intensive tasks like bittorrent. This should be an option in your routers config.

well ive got a wee server on my LAN set up for playing about with LAMP. I suppose i could put ruby on it and do some testing?

After some googling, ive found that many such projects are available in perl but none in ruby...

90 is a lot it should be 40-60

you downoad the .iso file and burn it in a special way to a CDR (DO NOT USE RW'S!)

you DONT burn it as a file as you would say, a spreadsheet. You need to use a special ISO burning function. Some things like nero may have this built in but i like to use DeepBurner (google it, theres a pro and a free version - get the free one. all you have to do is install, start it, point it at ths iso and click burn iso to disk)

thats wierd. do you have dialup or broadband? if you have broadband and a cd burner (make sure to watch your download limit) then you could always just download 6.10 yourself.

i attempted to make a CMS using ruby on rails before if you want a bit of help

yes, request one (take a look at shipit)

a bad checksum means a badly burned/scratched disc or corruptted download btw

DONT use version 7. its a beta (buggy). use that stable version 6.10 instead ("edgy eft") and you can upgrade at a later date very simply

overheating maybe?

yeah its a good idea to update your firmware. word if warning though, treat it like your BIOS in your pc and dont update it unless you actually require any new features or fixes as a bad flash can break a device

yeah PPOE is what you need for ADSL that should be fine. Is it a wireless or wired router

i think you have it set up wrong. It probably thinks it has a fixed adress on the net but your ISP most likely assigns a new one after a set interval (for me its 20 mins). have a look in your routers ISP config and set it to DHCP (dynamic adressing)

for my AS Computing coursework i did an ms access 2003 database with vb.net frontend for a make believe examination board. It holds centres students, exams, examiners, grades, calculates payroll and certificates etc... and is a great example of a complex relational database at work

simpler than installing tweakui and clicking rebuild icons button?

if they are simply under it, then right click on the desktop and do arrange icons by -> auto arrange

if that doesnt work then you may need to rebuild you icon cache (ise tweakui for this)

i have code for basically this exact thing in VB but using arrays if you are interested

yeah, IE6 is the one for you. IE7 will NOT run on 98 (if you dont have 98 SE i think you may actually be stuck at IE5)

you can make it ask for a password but its crapppy as holding shift usually removes it (but not on all versions)

its under database tools -> security

yes, try that - be careful and attempt at your ow risk - use an insulated screwdriver if you do!

also make sure the cp fan is connected right (on a motherboad of mine, if it doesnt detect the fan as working then it wont boot to prevent cpu damage)

1.12?

thats ancient

you want 1.41 at least (thats the one i was gonna out on a cd for u)

it means either there was some errors installing (scratched disc? - install it again and see) or your graphics card/direcrtx version is crap

some games change it - it also gets reset if you update your video driver

maybe the icons didnt get bigger as such, maybe what in fact happened was that the resolution was reduced.

right click on the desktop and select properties
then go into the setiings tab

there should be a slider saying screen resolution - try and increase it.

if something happens like your screen goes black then dont push anything and wait 20 seconds and it should revert back

lol my old secondary schools ones were so crap, they only blocked the domnain name not the IP so we just pinged it to get the IP

you usually use a key combination to recover from the hidden partition

e.g on my dell and my ibm pcs i have a recovery cd which cost me money, but i can also hit a certain key combination at bootup to recover from the hidden parition

on my dell its control + f11, maybe hps have a similar thing

no itunes but between my xboxes, pcs and pdas i muct have nealy 100gb of music

you can do (from command line)

apt-get update
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

This will download the required files to upgrade your system to the desktop version (although a clean install is probably better)

did you installl the wrong one?

theres a server one (no gui) and a desktop one. dont worry if you did- its all easialy fixable

if you did get the right one and the GUI isnt showing then it probably doesnt have the right
driver for your graphics card - if thats the issue i can help you

Firstly, try logging in and at the prompt with the user you made during setup. Then type "startx" - tell me what happens

heres a tip:

go on M$es site. Theres a tool somewhere called windows installer cleanup or something like that (its supposed to be for office but it works for anything)

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

edit: woops just noticed this has already been said :(

exactly

heres something else that happened to me (spoke to dani about it - reinstall of xp fixed it)

Only IE users need do the shift thing i think

if its a website dont you have to use shift or else it only selects one option?

i got dual core and 2.5 gig and aero runs like xp does on my PII :(

if that happens then open a command prompt and do fdisk /mbr then boot off of your cd and do fixmbr

stick in the vista full edition cd then just delete any existing partition and then make and format a new one

isnt it BODMAS?

Brackets
Powers (the o means of)
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

in the wine config program there is a bit where you tell it what linux dirs correspond to what virtual windows dirs

the reason the virus might keep coming back is it may be hiding in your system restore area.

boot into safemode (hit f8 repeatedly during windows initial startup)
login as admin
right click on your harddisk and turn system restore off under properties (this wil delete any restore points!)
reboot back into safemode again and turn it back on
start windows normally

yellow = video
red/white = audio (1=mono 2=stereo)

i have a hauppage capture card. I plug the PS2's yellow plug into it and then (using a ps2 adapter i got with an accesory kit) plug in a standard 3.5mm male-male cable and slot that into my pcs linein port

lol yep ive done that before although its AMPs that can kill you not volts

sorry, i know nothing about electrinics :)

yes also NEVER poce about inside a PSU with a screwdriver even if its off as the capicators can hold hundreds of volts that can KILL you.

what is the error message?

did you kill it with static?

maybe you could use something like VBGORE?
