What is the model/make of your CD drive?

What is the exact output that results from running fsck?

You definitely need more RAM.

What mail client are you using?

Heh. :-) For what it's worth -- [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MbeT7_ARm8[/url]

You mean like their browser history? That's stored in [INLINECODE]username/Library/Safari/History.plist[/INLINECODE]. Double-click it, and it should open up Property List Editor for easy viewing. Just to warn you, however, it's quite easy to both clear browser history within Safari, and to disable browser history and download history with the "Private Browsing …

Only way is to use something like VNC to get a remote desktop connection to the Mac Mini, or you hack the iMac apart and do some splicing and soldering to permanently turn it into a monitor...

The photos should be somewhere in [inlinecode]Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals[/inlinecode]. If they're not there, my only explanation is that you somehow didn't copy all the photos. And you can't recover what isn't there.

The error says it all: you haven't used a password. So when you start the mysql shell, make sure you use the [inlinecode]-p[/inlinecode] option to give you a chance to authenticate yourself.

The thought of putting a "Don't spam here" sign on a website is about as ludicrous as the idea of putting a "Weeds strictly prohibited" sign in front of a flowerbed.

Half the battle is figuring out the BIOS brand. Once you know that, you can research on how to enter the setup. So, what screen output do you see when you start up the computer?

[quote=emimegfel;249001]If I try to play a movie I get a messge that I may need to decrease the resolution. I set it as low as possible but it still won't play?[/quote] That's a rather "odd" error message, but setting it to the lowest resolution probably won't work either. Can you …

Do you have a startup script in your StartupItems? [URL]http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-v2/installing-apache-on-mac-os-x/[/URL] [quote] [B]Starting at boot[/B] Off course you would want to start Apache2 at boot time and not have to manually start everything up after a reboot. To do this you need to download the [URL="http://switch.richard5.net/serverinstall/ApacheStartupItems.tar"]ApacheStartupItems.tar[/URL] archive and extract as root …

Shockwave Player hasn't been ported natively to the new Intel Mac platform yet. To install it, you'll have to run Safari in Rosetta mode (note: Rosetta mode has [B]nothing[/B] to do with the Rosetta Stone software).[LIST=1] [*]Locate Safari in /Applications, and choose File->Get Info. [*]Make sure the "Open using Rosetta" …

HP doesn't provide Linux support for most of its hardware... if you want to get hardware components working, you'll have to install individual third party drivers (that is, [I]if[/I] they've been written). So, what hardware doesn't work? Once you find out the hardware that isn't working, you can usually google …

If the data's still there, it should be in [inlinecode]/Users/Deleted Users/[B]username[/B].dmg[/inlinecode]. If it's not there, the data has already been deleted and you're out of luck.

[quote=eduardomchl;439652]How do you erase the hardrive if we don't have access to anything on the computer?[/quote] In most cases, it should be as simple as inserting the Mac OS installation disk into the drive and booting off it. Somewhere in the installer you'll be allowed to erase the disk.

>I don't think using all of the tools available means you're weak. I believe Infarction was being sarcastic.

Probably a better (untested) method for calculating number of installed packages on Debian-based systems would be [code]dpkg -l | wc -l[/code] Minus 5.

>D-Link DSL924 Wireless ; Will it require adapter/ connect with iMac The DSL-924 is just an ordinary router with an ADSL modem built in. All you need is a standard 10BaseT cable to connect it to your iMac (or you could just use the wireless).

I've heard of such installers before, but I'm a little bit curious as to how it works. For example, how does GRUB boot the kernel from an NTFS-based filesystem? I was always under the assumption that GRUB was incapable of reading from NTFS partitions. I'm also wondering about the kernel …

[URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc&NR=1[/URL] [URL]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20750575/[/URL] It vaguely reminds me of a recent incident on DaniWeb IRC. But I thought news sites had better things to do than glorify little whiney babies throwing temper tantrums.

What happens when you [inlinecode]modprobe nvidia[/inlinecode]?

>Its fact that the iTunes formats are inferior in sound quality to WMA. You just shot yourself in the foot. From the very article you quoted: [quote]In terms of functionality, there is very little difference. Some audiophiles will tell you one format sounds better than the other, but for most …

Is this is a wired or a wireless Mighty Mouse? And if you aren't using a mouse pad, does using one change anything?

I have to say that I agree with Dani. Your initial examples -- .emacs, .xmodmap, .xinitrc -- what does it matter? They're all text files. Does not having the exact filename affect the reader's ability to comprehend? The way I see it, the extension is a universal way of identifying …

[QUOTE=wyerleader;434388]Are you familiar with ubunto? it is bootable program on a disk that allows you to boot crashed computers as long as you have no hardware isues[/QUOTE] It's called Ubuntu, and it's an operating system, just like Windows and OS X.

I think there is a difference. We as Christians are taught "not to put the Lord our God to the test". In other words, the point isn't so that we can just snap our fingers and something will be done, instead, God is there when we actually need him. When …

Why are you asking us? Obviously there could be some quality differences, of which I know very little, but beyond that, it's up to you. They are two very different devices for entirely different needs. You should know better than us which device you'll need/enjoy more. Personally, I would choose …

I'm guessing the idiots who made this site have never heard of Google -- or have conveniently forgotten it, because the use of it might mean their site will lose most of its questions.

The light gray on the forum index looks excellent. The rest of the colors -- oh, it burns, it burns!

And this has exactly what to do with Linux?

How about [I]you[/I] tell us the problem you're experiencing (error messages, crashing, etc.) and [I]we[/I] suggest a reason. We're not psychic, OK? ;)

I haven't been experiencing any slowdowns lately, and I haven't for quite some time...

I've experienced this problem as well on (K)ubuntu. I solve it by hit-and-miss; sometimes I'll try connecting through the terminal with [code]# iwconfig ath0 essid my-network # dhclient ath0[/code] Where ath0 is the name of your wireless device. Although this works, it tends to screw up Network Manager because it …

Post your [inlinecode]/etc/X11/xorg.conf[/inlinecode] file.

I just wandered upon this thread by chance. I'll admit I'm not quite sure how to do this, so don't expect any miracles. First thing is first -- grab yourself a copy of [URL="http://www.chrysocome.net/dd"]dd for Windows[/URL]. Now comes the tricky part: you need to create a partition that's the exact …

It all depends on your goals with Linux. If you simply want a stable operating system replacement for Windows and don't want to learn much about the insides of Linux, choose something simple like Ubuntu or SuSE. If you actually want to learn the insides of Linux, go with what …

I've read magazine articles talking about them. And yes, they're perfectly legal. How it works is they force you to sign up for a number of trial offers. Some force you to make your friends do it, too. Then you have to wait until the offers have almost expired, because …

You might need to change your BIOS settings to configure your computer to boot from your CD drive. Usually when you start up your computer it says something like "Hit Del or F1 to enter setup", and at that point you enter the key. Look for something like "boot priority", …

[QUOTE=Thinka;419205]I believe Virtual PC does not support Linux OSs...[/QUOTE] I'm positive that Virtual PC supports Linux.

I tend to recommend [URL="http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/"]InfraRecorder[/URL] for ISO burning software, seeing that it's completely free and open source. However, it's a moot point considering that this thread is nearly a month old, and the original poster has marked it as "solved".

[inlinecode]htpasswd[/inlinecode] exists on the Windows platform alright, are you sure it isn't somewhere on your hard disk?

Um, what kind of Mac is it? "G4" is a only a processor type.

^ Is really good at reviving old threads. :P Will some moderator please move this thread to the posting games forum?

That's very bad. Nowhere on the web can I find any way of fixing this error without formatting the disk and starting from scratch again. You [I]do[/I] have your data backed up, don't you?

If this is a virus, then this doesn't have anything to do with C++, does it?

I've never done it myself, but booting Windows from a partition within VMWare isn't quite as easy as it sounds. [url]http://oopsilon.com/Running-a-Windows-Partition-in-VMware[/url]
