>Do you have to back up and restore your data and settings every time >you shutdown That would depend on how you install Crunchbang to your USB pendrive. As far as I know, Crunchbang wasn't ever designed to run on a flash drive, which means it's up to you how …

Might want to try configuring it manually. [url]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136[/url] You'll also want to make sure you're using the correct mode; WPA/WPA2 has PSK mode for personal networks, as well as various EAP extensions for enterprise networks.

Buy a new disk.

[QUOTE=crunchie;741856]There remains a dead link to the original Techies Lounge that needs to be fixed.[/QUOTE] You need to clear your cache.

Hey there citizen (at least I think that's who you used to be on CBoard...). BTW, I'm the old joeprogrammer.

>So first off, I've heard of 2 programs, emulators I think...Winetools >and Yum Neither of those are emulators. Yum is a package manager for Red Hat based Linux systems (such as Fedora), while [URL="http://www.winehq.org/"]Wine[/URL] is a Windows compatibility layer for Linux. What this basically allows you to do is run …

Do you mean that you can't write files in directories you created with the shell? What exact permissions are the files at before you chmod them? 755 permission means read/write/execute for owner, and read/execute for everyone else, which must mean that the owner of the files/directories is the same user …

You need to download [URL="http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm"]Flip4Mac[/URL]. The free trial version is adequate; as you only require decoding support.

Marks, I know how you feel. I remember learning C and thinking that I knew it all. Then the Windows API programming approach comes along, and totally throws away the old procedural method with loops, callbacks, and the like. It's confusing, but eventually you get the hang of it. The …

If I understand your question correctly, you want a simpler method for reading files. I suppose you could write a simple function that returns all the lines of text as a vector of strings: [code=cplusplus]std::vector<std::string>* return_textfile(std::string filename) { std::vector<std::string>* data; std::ifstream textfile(filename.c_str()); std::string line; if (textfile) { data = new …

>template <typename T> void input_cin(T variable); >doesn't work Well... you need to actually write the function, too. That's just the prototype (and you probably want it to return something, so don't use void). [code=cplusplus]template <typename T> T input_cin(T variable) { std::cin >> variable; return input; } [/code] However, I recommend …

Have you tried running it from the command prompt?

Well... without actually seeing any source code, it's pretty hard to tell whether the problem lies in your code or elsewhere. Try setting up an ftp server on your local workstation, test to make sure the setup works by using a proven FTP client (such as Filezilla), then test with …

There's a lot of factors involved here. Like, what platform do you intend to develop this on, which network cards do you intend to support, and is this supposed to monitor the LAN connection between the host and its connected peers, or monitor *all* network traffic that comes in contact …

>What would be the best way to do this? Well, if privacy/security is a concern, perhaps consider encryption? Depends what you want though. If you're just looking for functionality, why not use some of the freely available file serving software (ftp, ssh, etc.)? Or are you trying to design your …

It was probably made with some graphics/animation software.

Dani cleaned up the tutorial section a while ago, as we were getting a lot of junk and not much quality control. Now you need to submit tutorials to Davey (happygeek) for revision and approval, after which it will be posted. I think you can still submit tutorials with this …

I recommend vi.

>ReactOS for example. ReactOS is a terrible example. It's got layers upon layers of bugs. First, you've got the ReactOS kernel which was written from scratch, then you've got the Wine layer which provides the Windows binary compatibility for its userland, and then you've got the Windows userland. While it …

You might want to try manually downloading the updates from Apple's website. Perhaps when the system is updated Software Update will work again.

Norton Ghost is the one of the most commonly used disk cloning tools, although you can do it yourself manually if you copy all the files over, then boot from the XP recovery console (from the XP install CD) and use 'fixmbr' to make the whole thing bootable. [QUOTE=tiger86;768931]Nick I …

Even upgrades that are technically possible for laptops generally aren't worth it, with the exception of memory. I'd recommend adding more RAM, and the install process is simple enough that you can probably do it yourself. Anything else in the computer probably isn't worthwhile upgrading, your money would be better …

For what they're worth, the ext2/3 filesystem drivers for Windows work fine if you only require read-only access or need to transfer one or two files (and your data is backed up). Regarding FAT32, I don't see how that would be particularly useful. We've already established that Ubuntu has read/write …

I assume you're using Mac OS X Leopard. First, download and install [URL="http://tuppis.com/lingon/"]Lingon[/URL].

Yeah, although you'll need to add another video card. Get a PCI video card (note that it's just PCI -- PCI Express, or PCI-E for short is a completely different interface), and make sure it has the correct output.

BitTorrent is a network protocol that can be used and abused, just like most other protocols such as HTTP, FTP, Gnutella. Whether it's abused more or less than other protocols doesn't affect the legality of the actual protocol.

Well, the simplest way to make a blank image on your drive is to do something like this: [icode]dd if=/dev/zero of=filename.img bs=512 count=102400[/icode] That will create a 50 MB disk image with 102400 512-byte blocks (102400 blocks/2 blocks in a kB/1024 kB in a MB = 50 MB), and the …

That's an extremely vague question at best, but some easy to use distros include Ubuntu, SUSE, Mandriva, Xandros, and Linspire.

Well, considering the site was freely distributing movies to watch online, I'd say that puts itself squarely in the 'online piracy' category of websites. I'd advise staying away from these types of sites, and you should probably run a virus scan on your computer just to ensure you didn't get …

Try using something like [URL="http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html"]HFSExplorer[/URL] on your PC; this will allow it to read and write to Mac-formatted filesystems.

Your first problem is easily overcome by simply turning on filesharing for Firewire in the Mac OS X System Preferences (instead of using Target Disk Mode). Your iMac should then be able to see the drives as part of your network. As for your second question, this is probably possible, …

Um, you need root permissions to be able to edit the shadow file, otherwise its purpose would be defeated.

I think the biggest problem right now is that the target audience of the forums and the blogs aren't really the same. From what I can tell, most of the blog traffic is generated from external sites, not from internal DaniWeb traffic. I just don't think that tech news is …

Insert your install disk, then hold down the 'C' key while starting up to boot from the installer. Choose your language, and under the 'utilities' menu there should be an option to reset the administrator password.

Macs are actually very safe; it's the users that are dumb. This is actually old news for the most part, a Trojan that's already been around for a year now has just been upgraded to version 2.0. You [I]still[/I] need to be surfing porn sites to even find the Trojan …
