are you running around your system always as root, or are you using a regular user? running around the system as root = HELLFIRE DISASTER DESTRUCTION!!!!! seriously, i can't emphasize how bad of an idea running around as root actually is. the way the system is set up, you could go "cd /...

now that I have mandrake installed, and I'm learning more and more about linux, there are a few things i would have done differently given the chance. first of all, i chose mandrake 7.2 as my OS of choice, and it's a great newbie distro. it has led me to enjoy using linux. HOWEVER, mandrake...

about CS servers: i have some friends on campus that run CS servers on Linux... one person has a dual p3 550 with 512 megs of ram, and it STILL gets laggy when we get up to 24 people... CS servers take some serious hardware. 'course, for an FTP server and a web server, those hardware specs...

cdex rips with accuracy, encodes with LAME. nothing better.

link the above link will take you to the product information page on kodak's site of the gold ultima cd-r discs. these discs are stable and reliable, really high quality stuff, and I have never had a problem getting a burned VCD working on a DVD player using this media. the deal is this: buy...

I really couldn't make out the documents, 'cause I really don't use Windows and wordpad completely destroyed the poor files :P But can anyone draw any connections between PC and the companies in the notices? Until someone manages to do that, well, we really have no idea if this is legit or...

Minotaur is having a closeout on the FOP38s. link

best choice for a 17" flat monitor is not either of these manufacturers. If you want a kickass monitor, you have no choice but to go iiYama. I got one of the visionmaster pro 410s for 300$ refurb with a 2 year warranty. It will do 1600x1200 at 75hz. Nuff said. -inq

OMG, this thread is still going on? Oh well, after I get done writing this paper that I'm working on now, I'll jump back in this. Thank god discussion has gotten away from guns. ;) What is it now? Health care? Goody. :) -inq

I have exactly this same setup, and I ordered from 2cooltek as well ;) What I got were one high output fan up front sucking air in and one quiet fan in each of the two blowholes in the back. Make sure that the PS fan is sucking air out as well. Also, get some of those little black self...

maybe I'm just inflexible, but I am of the opinion that even just ONE drink (.03 BAC limit) impares your driving ability enough to make me not want you on the road. However, this would never pass Congress in a million years. Anyway, drinking and driving is just moronic anyway. It's not even a...

If I were to guess, the SP themselves will probably be making a recording of that concert, and they probably wouldn't give a damn if someone brought in a minidisc recorder to boot the concert anyway. WHAT DO THEY CARE ANYMORE?? They have already screamed FSCK OFF to any record company they...
