Oh... ouch. Haven't had an experience like that on any build of E17...

I had a similar issue - but it was due to dithering settings being enabled in nvidia-settings (display would flicker, after images switching desktops) using the NVIDIA blob. Guess my video card / display combination didn't like that too much. Software rendering is pretty fast. I've had it...

Did you try OpenGL compositing without 'Texture from pixmap' enabled? It's under the Advanced composite module settings. Might work.

I'm on the Alpha release right now. Much more stable than all the dev releases leading up to it. Haven't experienced a segfault yet. Composite / software rendering all very snappy. I don't really use the file manager all too much, so I can't comment on that.

I run E17 in Slackware64 - a great WM, but with a few issues. Lately it's the case of the disappearing widgets - whenever I have to restart X, the clock, cpufreq, and volume widgets disappear off my desktop. When I go into settings to add one of them back, then they all show up. This, of...

Slackware does have packages and a package manager. I can keep my core system updated with two commands. It just doesn't do dependency management out of the box, which I happen to appreciate. (Come to think of it, there is a utility called slapt-get that offers APT-like functionality, so you...

A huge disservice to myself? I don't quite see it that way... I actually do need to compile some software from source - most notably rdesktop since sometimes I have to use it with a smart card reader. Most distros don't have that feature turned on (Slackware included) out of the box. I don't...

Hmmm... that's funny. I also had a recent need to install Linux and chose Slackware since it seemed to offer the closest experience to Red Hat circa 1999 / 2000. Then again, I don't really like RPM or other package managers since you can get sucked into dependency hell and prefer to compile...

You don't need GPT unless you want to partition a drive > 2 TB as a single volume and you boot using EFI or hybrid EFI / BIOS.

GParted can help you resize partitions, should you decide that Win7 or Linux need more space. Clonezilla can help you transfer your Linux installation to a new drive (SSD or mechanical) if you decide to do this later. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ http://clonezilla.org/ Honestly, it's a...

I have two Vertex 3 SSDs with 2.15 firmware attached to a Gigabyte Z68X-UD7-B3 (F8 BIOS) and it's been stable on both Windows 7 (using MS AHCI driver) and Linux.

You do know about the online Javadocs for the Java API, right? http://download.oracle.com/javase/1,5.0/docs/api/ Hint 1: getClass() is inherited from java.lang.Object. Hint 2: What method is called when concatenating two Strings together in Java?

From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Software_raid_arrays

As the other posters mentioned, it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Here's food for thought, it's about method parameters and whether Java is pass by reference or pass by value... http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/2000-05/03-qa-0526-pass.html

What would help a lot is if the OP included the stack trace when attempting to compile / execute the code...
