 | [QUOTE]wow need to get me one of those![/QUOTE] The distro has nothing to do with it. Any Linux distribution will do. Just install this: [url]http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/[/url] Edit: so this post isn't totally meaningless, here's my desktop  |

| | No. If you want to authenticate to the root user (or any user for that matter), you have to use su. |
| | You need to adjust the settings of the virtual machine such that the optical drive is set to your computer's physical DVD drive, not to a file on your hard disk. |
| | Well, you could always install Windows in a virtual machine. :P But if an operating system is causing more problems than it's fixing, it's probably not right for you. Oh well. What you learned while using Linux is never in vain, and I'm sure you'll find the experience useful even … |
 | [LIST=1] [*]Your implementation of getScore doesn't appear to be asking the user for anything.... [*]A no-brainer. [*]Hint: stop using score1, score2, score[I]x[/I] and start using arrays. It will not only simplify the rest of your program, but it'll make searching for the smallest score as simple as creating a loop.[/LIST]BTW, …  |
| | The Personal Web Sharing preference pane is only meant for starting the default installation of Apache that comes with OS X -- I've never heard of someone starting a custom Apache installation from there. You'll just have to set up your virtual hosts for your home directory manually. As far … |

| | Go to Applications/Utilities and open System Profiler. Is the hard drive listed under USB? |
| | Re: Os x midi thru I don't know anything about the program itself, but I can tell you how to compile it: 1. In /Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/MIDI/SampleTools, there's a file named "SampleTools.xcodeproj". Double click on this file, and it will open in Xcode. 2. In the Xcode project window, look for "Active Build Configuration". Change it from … |
| | >Why is the compiler telling me that the default is return type is int? Because the default return type (in fact, the standard) for main is int. It's supposed to be declared as [icode]int main( /* arguments */)[/icode]. The compiler is warning you because you haven't explicitly declared the return …  |
| | Re: Linux? Some thoughts on this thread: - To the OP: if getting work done is your primary concern, and you don't have any issues with Windows, then I can see no reason why you would want to switch to another operating system. Switching to Linux will just cause more problems and … |
| | It depends a lot on which distro you're running, and how many services you plan to run. In general, no less than 128 mb should be used on modern Linux distributions. However, Slackware can get away with a lot less, something like <48 MB. This is not ideal, though. Ideally, … |
| | Ever had trouble remembering if that website ended in .com, .net, or .org? Well, your troubles just got a whole lot worse. [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7475986.stm[/url] "We're running out of .com addresses? Let's just let people register whatever extension they want!" Brilliant ICANN, just brilliant. And it looks like some of those TLDs … |
| | Let's start with something simple. Did you burn the iso as a CD image, or as a file? If you don't know the answer to this, or the only file you can see when the CD is inserted in Windows is "ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso", you've burned it incorrectly. Your burning software should … |
| | First of all, you should run Software Update to make sure that all your software is current. Safari might even be included in this, as the latest version is 1.3.2. Regardless, you should make sure that everything is up to date before proceeding. If Safari still hasn't been updated, grab … |

| | This whole black thing is very silly because it's only been proven that black saves some energy on CRT displays (and some have noted that in LCD monitors it could actually require [I]more[/I] energy). It's really quite a fad, and there are so many better ways of trying to conserve … |

| | I assume you're referring to 6 pin to 4 pin FireWire connectors. I don't know much about the physical details of the connections, other than they're compatible with each other, but the 4 pin version lacks power. It's probably possible to wire a converter up yourself, but I would think … |
| | The answer is quite simple: Virtual PC can't emulate a 64 bit processor. The fact that Virtual PC is running on a 64 bit processor is irrelevant because it creates its own virtual hardware for the guest operating system to run on (which happens to be a 32 bit architecture). … |

| | One of the Trojans gains root access without requiring a password by exploiting a gaping security hole in Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 via ARDAgent, the remote desktop daemon. To protect yourself against it, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and run the following command: [code]sudo chmod 0555 \ /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/\ Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent[/code] enter your … |

| | The quickest way, I'd imagine, would be to select all the songs in iTunes and then hit the delete key. That'll remove all the song entries from the iTunes music database. Then, using "Add to Library", select the directory that contains all your music. iTunes will search recursively through all … |

| | You're getting the quote character confused with the backtick character. If you run [code]echo `expr 2 + 3`[/code] you'll get the expected output. Alternatively, you can also use $(command) as well, which has the same effect: [code]echo $(expr 2 + 3)[/code] |

| | Re: Logout Problem Some browsers store web pages that you've recently viewed in a cache so that if you want to go back, you can do so without having to load it again. What's likely happening is you're viewing a cached version of the page when you use the 'back' button; try refreshing … |

| | Have you tried to run some diagnostic tools on your hard drive? Insert your Leopard installation disk, reboot the computer holding down the 'C' key, which will make the computer boot from the Leopard DVD.

| | To my knowledge, Apple doesn't provide a way to format an HFS filesystem under Mac OS X. Or if they do, it's very well hidden. So, what you need to do is boot into OS 9 and reformat the drive in there... I've never really used OS 9 much though, … |
| | First, does the CD eject if you boot with the mouse button held down? |
 | Not legally. It is possible with many illegal cracks, and if Apple let us do it, it would be quite easy. Fortunately, the new Mac Pro is completely customizable, so it's not quite so bad. |
 | There isn't any 'generic' RAM types, as you seem to be implying. Each motherboard requires a specific type of RAM; you can't mix and match. The type that MacBooks and MacBook Pros use is SO-DIMM 667 Mhz PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM. The manufacturer of the RAM shouldn't affect its compatibility however, … |
